    @NBN_Australia We have Optus 4G because NBN (under Turnbull) decided our town wasn't worth anything more than fixed wireless. So why reward bad behaviour? I'd prefer to give my $ to Optus or Telstra... which says volumes! "Don't build and they won't come"

    @abcnews the NBN is getting some help......??

  • markab29 Mark Bailey (@markab29) reported

    @NBN_Australia I will be satisfied when all premises in built up areas have the same access to top speeds. As for signing up to updates, I have. Are the updates for me? Never. Just deliver the service we want.

    @Optus Worst service I’ve ever recommend. Have been trying to connect NBN. No one in your call centres seem to know what to do.

    @VodafoneAU is there an outrage in Brisbane?? Home nbn has been down most of the afternoon?

  • Shihao0831 Bear🇦🇺🇹🇼 (@Shihao0831) reported

    @NBN_Australia I live in Eulalia St, West Ryde 2114. And the only available nbn service in my house is HFC, a outdated technology, the internet is very unstable. I would like to know when the FTTP or and FTT_ could be delivered to my house?

    @NBN_Australia Can @Aussie_BB comment on this “invalid” incident? Was the incident not posted correctly? Was it missing information?

  • Ballyurra Ray (@Ballyurra) reported

    NBN down again. How good is it to have a service provider that will email you what's happening, why it it will be down etc. Unfortunately it's an NBN problem so they can't fix it but I can talk to them. Never got that service from Optus or Telstra. FYI they're called @launtel.

    Sigh. I need @Aussie_BB to go full metal @TheRealRevK on @NBN_Australia. NBN apparently closed a fault while their subcontractor was here swapping parts and so he reverted back to old unit, and in meantime signal strength has plummeted as has our speed (10% of previous) :-(
