    @Henjam48 @JaneCaro @TonyAbbottMHR @NBN_Australia They’ve been set up to fail. Like most entities that are answerable to govt. The person responsible for it all is JWH. Had Telstra not been sold in the first place, it would have continued to upgrade its network and we may not have needed an NBN on the scale the ALP envisaged.

  • KathyReid Kathy Reid, Servant of House Corgi (@KathyReid) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    Summary: we almost-delivered an obsolete network not fit for purpose and now we're struggling with finding a way to make it valuable as a private asset and service our debt, and raise capital to rebuild it post-2020 instead of it being made a public utility #NBN #NBN2

  • tonywalker1 Antony (Tony) Walker (@tonywalker1) reported from Fenwick, State of Victoria

    Good Q. Down here in Seachange given up on the NBN. Use Telstra 4G box. Not good enough. NBN imposed.

  • 75b0ce8567df4cd Dave Wood (@75b0ce8567df4cd) reported from Geelong, State of Victoria

    And 3 out of 4 premises are now capable of connecting to the NBN! Well that is at your own risk! It's just more bullshit from government and ISP companies to scam more money from anyone stupid enough to opt for this NBN CRAP!

  • ardtarig Donald Campbell (@ardtarig) reported

    @chrismurphys @Telstra When I reply to your posts I get responses from Telstra with " how can we help you today? " so all their responses are simply automated and impersonal. I am not a customer. Everything with @Optus. But soon to put NBN with Aussie

    @AngryExile Our connection has gone down within seconds or less of nearby lightning but is usually up within 15 to 20 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if prophylactic turning off the power to nodes is done by nbn in areas with lightning affinity, like lots of metallic rock etc

  • debritz Brett Debritz (@debritz) reported

    Trying to contact @Telstra re. my deceased mother's phone account and connection. The 1800 number given to me by a Telstra employee (who rang to get her to connect to the NBN, but couldn't help on this) is disconnected. The chat bot tells me to use the app. I'm on a laptop.

  • matt_barrie Matt Barrie (@matt_barrie) reported

    @an_leavy Was told Telstra/NBN won’t fix unless four people in the street complain

  • OccupyMyGov Occupy Centrelink (@OccupyMyGov) reported

    The government designed an income management system which leaves social security recipients without access to their only source of income when their dodgy nbn goes down which it does at the drop of a hat. Often for days or weeks at a time especially in remote communities.

  • matt_piggott Matthew Piggott (@matt_piggott) reported

    Retweet this if you hate @Telstra. Not only did I have to downgrade my cable internet to nbn (1/2 speed, same price), but a) it doesn’t work and b) their service is disgusting. Been on chat help for 3 h and not a single troubleshooting suggestion yet.

  • nellybear2167 Lind say (@nellybear2167) reported

    ABC defunding via Murdoch Gov = no live stream comedy ch iPad Its tv only GRrr since Lnp privatised transmission towers in storms I loose ABC TV on iPad it’s secure provided nbn works I’m over Aust tech that’s for some glad I don’t need to access Centrelink online it’ll never wk.

  • psg_au Peter (@psg_au) reported

    @NBN_Australia Why can't you offer me speeds comparable to the Telstra BIGOND Cable that you are dismantling? I regularly got OVER 130Mbps on BIGPOND Cable. NBN STRUGGLES to even get NEAR the 100Mbps mark.... Never seen it actually make 100Mbps..

  • mattabbottphoto matthew abbott 🔥🦘 (@mattabbottphoto) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Internode I have been experiencing 🐌 internet speeds for weeks after upgrading to the NBN. I have called tech support 7 times over the last week and they don’t help. Can you please put me in touch with someone who can help.

  • AngryExile Angry Exile (@AngryExile) reported

    @manindotblack Yeah, I've no idea where the problem might have been. In 9 months of NBN we've had it fall over three times, and each time it's the evening of bad weather and the request for assistance comes early the next day but several hours after it's come back on its own. *sigh*
