  • petergaskin814 Peter Gaskin (@petergaskin814) reported from Ballarat, State of Victoria

    @ellymelly There are few landline phones left in Australia. Most phones run off nbn and power failures eventually kill these phones as the battery in the network device runs out. This is what happened in the big dark in South Australia after the power went down

    @pjrbosley @OMGTheMess @taniaghunt You're an Idiot bloke Data matching was a new tool that could be used to better analyse suspicious circumstances Morrison created Robodebt NBN was meant to be fibre to the home The cost blew out replacing broken copper which wasn't necessary under ALP plan #LNPNeverAgain

    Ohhai optus. Just let me cancel the service. Having me on hold for hours isn't going to stop me cancelling. NBN have already switched over the service and I'm using my TPG connection. Give it up. I know you're bleeding customers but, that's not our fault. It's YOURS. #Optus

  • FaKeNus1 Fa Ke Nus (@FaKeNus1) reported

    @Optus optus nbn down in niddrie. same time as previous weeks. around 12.30am. this cannot be a coincidence. fix it for good.

    @jasonandrade Not really, they have access to auth-logs.. they knew she was logged in on the SIM, so I’m guessing the auth-logs gave the time of login and device ID... don’t forget the idea was “transparent backup if the NBN goes down” so the IP address is likely to be switched to the SIM.

  • katiejean_kj Katie Stewart (@katiejean_kj) reported

    @AGLEnergy 10 days and still no NBN because of a clerical error on your end. How are you still using Covid as an excuse for incompetence and poor customer service. This is my livelihood yet zero urgency or action on your end.

  • cloud_hill Hill Cloud (@cloud_hill) reported

    @NBN_Australia Would the NBN please acknowledge that your NBN Wireless customers in Canowindra do not have service since last Wednesday. 50% + packet loss. Unusable. Stop telling us you do not have an outage!!

  • Melochiiiii Melochi | ENVtuber (@Melochiiiii) reported

    @Alex_th3_lion @NBN_Australia @Telstra I've got the same issue, what problem do you have?

  • RossCar36450299 Ross Carroll (@RossCar36450299) reported

    @Trace72467320 @SpaceX It wasn’t for me. Telstra & NBN both refused to fix our FTN with pitiful@speeds so we got Starlink. Wayyy faster and more reliable. A bit dearer but if paying for Starlink speeds with Telstra it would be three times more expensive. Very happy with Starlink. 👍

  • kebab_chris Chris (@kebab_chris) reported

    @ZBadl2 @ryan_racz @SpaceX Then you probably live in melbourne, sydney or another big city because the server you're pinging MUST be very close. For the rest of us stuck at 50mbs download because NBN is horrible. Least with starlink I could get 30ms ANYWHERE and have the same speed for same price.

    @TPG_Telecom pushing aggressively change from @NBN_Australia to @VodafoneAU #5G broadband. I am NOT changing the reliability of a wired network to an aerial connection. Don't wanna be walking around the flat trying to find a signal. Especially when its for TPG's benefit only
