    @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

    @BuggaThe Yep its a Telstra NBN issue

  • mylesdavies Myles Davies (@mylesdavies) reported

    @Optus Why? The issue has been escalated TWICE..and still it’s dropping out. Your tech crew are apparently ‘baffled’ by it, although talking to several people in my neighbourhood this is a common experience with Optus NBN in our area.

  • MrsBoogooloo 🌈 Mrs Boogooloo Watts 💉💉(Rādhikā) (@MrsBoogooloo) reported

    We know the NBN is an abject failure - colleague in Blacktown is frequently dropped from meetings, broadcasts & delivering training. Dept of Education sites in Liverpool have zero mobile coverage, poor internet. For too long providers have gotten away with substandard delivery

  • zeestrike_ zeestrike_ (@zeestrike_) reported

    @Telstra why is my NBN so slow :( what is happening.. Please help..

  • redambition gettingajabambition 😷 💉 (@redambition) reported

    @thisismywww There used to be congestion in NBN but some changes were made and it’s better now. We used to have cable and just stuck with them, partially for the 4G backup in the router. But… the 4g backup doesn’t get enough signal to work.

    @JojosTweety Hi JoJo, that sounds very frustrating. Sorry to hear that you're experiencing these issues. You'll need to raise this with your provider, as they manage your services. They have an internal nbn support team they can request assistance from on your behalf, 1/2

  • jaredquinn Jared Quinn (@jaredquinn) reported

    @hazchem @redambition I hear loads of good things about Aussie from lots of other technical folks... I've just never had to suffer the @NBN_Australia network, thankfully.

  • Jana92038429 Jana Jegathesan (@Jana92038429) reported

    @NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia seems to be reduced service in box hill nsw area any reason why?

  • devoidofspin Gerry Waters (@devoidofspin) reported

    @shanebazzi imagine the last 2 years without NBN! and the network would have been even better but for the LNP’s meddling & undermining.
