NBN Outage in Geelong, State of Victoria

Why is @3AW693 targeting @Telstra about the NBN and how it’ll cope with the increased load on the network. There are other providers of the NBN out there. #sheeple listening will take any slow downs or outages as being Telstra’s fault/problem.

@Vintuitive Must just be that the NBN is shit 😉🤣

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

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

@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.

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!

My internet is still not working and @Optus cannot explain to me why. It is capable of chats that are kingdom of lies apportioning blame to @NBN_Australia for matters such as usernames and provisioning that do not concern it. Still waiting for about 8 promised call backs.

@Kynes3 It’s a disgrace but I’m not surprised. They sold off Telstra and then NBN has to pay it ridiculous money to have access to infrastructure that belonged to us. Would never have needed the NBN if Telstra wasn’t privatized as it was open door policy to not spend money on maintenance

For a communications company @NBN_Australia sucks. For 3 weeks I have been asking for a review of the installation of a node outside my house. I will accept the outcome but all I requested was a review before works began. Not one person has called. Ignoring is not communicating

All I can say about the wretched NBN down here in Seachange it's slower than dial-up, a bit like cold congealed porridge morning after, actually...

@Nicktacular42 @Aussie_BB @NatoPotatoTV It was vacant so... I had telstra hook it up years ago when I had new conduit layed down for HFC and took both connections 😅 Both lines are already hooked up/setup for nbn too.

@NBN_Australia Thanks Shane. TPG are looking into it at their end. I think the high-call volumes is part of the problem. According to your link, my address hasn't been connected to the NBN, despite getting told via email I was ready to connect and receiving all my equipment.

@shoemanG They can do further testing and if the issue is with nbn, they'll let us know and we'll work together to resolve and provide updates. Please note providers are experiencing extremely high call volumes & support requests at present and are working with reduced staffing levels. 2/3

@peterp79 @Aussie_BB @Telstra @NBN_Australia Also, 25 is minimum - so you should be getting 22 ish... plug a laptop INTO the modem and do a speed test. WIFI is probably what’s slowing you down too

@trevorlong @Aussie_BB @Telstra @NBN_Australia Yep FTTN. It’s horrible!

@trevorlong @Aussie_BB @Telstra @NBN_Australia WiFi. Standard Plus speed unlimited. I’ve been told I’m in a bad area. Speed is consistent with what neighbor’s are getting

Super impressed with these new @Aussie_BB 1000/50 plans. Just downloaded a file at 105MB/s (1GB came down in less than 10s) which I never thought I'd get at home. More upstream would be nice though. *looks at NBN co*

Apparently @iiNet support has lodged an issue with the NBN and they'll get back to me. I hope so, because they have already said they'll call me back once over this and not done so.

After talking with @iiNet tech support in its various forms for close to 3 hours, I still do not know why my NBN setup did not happen today, nor when they will mount another attempt.
