  • JordanABengtson Jordan Bengtson (@JordanABengtson) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    @BuggaThe Yep its a Telstra NBN issue

  • 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

  • Holdingtheball Trent Bursill (@Holdingtheball) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    @iiNet Hi. Is there currently an issue with NBN in Lucas? Impossibly slow speeds at the moment...

  • AEdmo Andrew Edmiston (@AEdmo) reported from Ballarat North, State of Victoria

    Apparently no-one in the inner-west has NBN due to an 'unplanned outage' that the NBN website is saying could take 10 days! Nice one @NBN_Australia!

  • a_kiwi_in_oz Climate Change Believer Kiwi (@a_kiwi_in_oz) reported

    @FernandoLongoOZ I live in Brisbane and older suburbs are full of copper wiring. Diabolically slow broadband. Aussies were cheated with the NBN

  • frankfiocco Frank Fiocco (@frankfiocco) reported

    @Sandra_Sully Wish you success Sandra. Seems like it's a race to the bottom with Tel Cos. Also how can Australia's NBN still be below par. (Optus customer here. Very minimal info after breach.)

  • adrianmarr Adrian Marr (@adrianmarr) reported

    @Optus @networkoutage is there an outage in south fremantle on nbn fttn at the moment

  • fukemweball7 shari 🌹 (@fukemweball7) reported

    @ballfartmonkey @SirUzi2 damn on my property I have a nbn pole, if i didn't have the pole my connection would be terrible as i'm up in the hills. At least once a day it cuts out for a few seconds though but the connection and speed is a lot better than before I got nbn

  • AdelinaBasile Adelina Basile (@AdelinaBasile) reported

    So tired of paying monthly for crap internet. 5 years of useless Telstra NBN TTN which didn't work because copper wires degraded. Now, Optus wireless can't even stream IView. Scared to lock in to anything else, or too expensive

  • JustaskYoussef Youssef EL-Jurf (@JustaskYoussef) reported

    @impulsegrenades Forgot to add, but zinc also helps(worry for late reply, haven’t had internet as nbn has been down in my area since Wednesday night)

  • Sandra_Sully Sandra Sully 📺🎧📲🏑🌺 (@Sandra_Sully) reported

    .@Telstra Hi there someone!! I am done playing nice and being patient. My modem just doesn’t work. Your people have tried rebooting it remotely, and blaming the NBN. It just doesn’t work. I need the internet to work as do my family. Someone pls help!

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @rusticello @FernandoLongoOZ @wilde_gio He's very well off so doesn't care. And will continue to defend his #NBN as he'd never admit he was totally wrong.

    @ken_killcare @miriamcosic I switched from NBN to @Telstra 5G Home Internet. Typical downloads of 400-600Mbps! The problem is the 1TB cap! One hour of Netflix uses about 5.5GB. I always hit 1TB within the first 12 days of the billing month. Solution? NBN for streaming. 5G for the thrill of it. Lol.
