  @DavePhippen After 8 calls totalling 12 hours to NBN co and Telstra I found the magic key: Just say "Ombudsman" Service person arrived the next day and a new modem the same week.

  @news_australian Stick it where it fits Malcolm, and your NBN plan for Australia is a piece of crap.

  The Labor Budget 🙄 So far all I see is nothing to help or support now, $250 in 2028. Ffs everyone has been left behind. We're spending more than that additionaly on groceries, fuel , insurances, nbn, etc etc. Where's the relief.

  The NBN is phasing out older copper connections starting July next year, and if you don’t switch to full fiber within six months of being notified, your internet will be suspended! 🌐🔌 Check your address eligibility now to ensure you stay connected with faster, more reliable service 🚀 #NBN #internetupgrade #aussietech

  @SimonBanksHB “Modelling shows” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Labor modelling also gave us $275 lower power bills, mining tax revenue, a surplus and NBN timelines that never arrived. Publish the assumptions, not just the headline. Young Australians deserve evidence, not spin.

  This should NEVER happen. We have written to the federal minister and the NBN objecting to this and to clarify their total expenditure here. This data was all procured directly from the SCA 2026 Conference Sponsorship website page. (7/7)

  @Michz45 And you seem to think giving the government more money will actually benefit those services. Why do you think the gov does not get involved in baking bread? Because it would taste **** and cost $100 per loaf. That's your Medicare, NDIS and nbn to name a few

  @newcastleherald As an Ex-NBNer having spent many years of my working life in various capacities with NBN, it's terrible to now hear about all these losses.
