NBN Outage in Dubbo, State of New South Wales

@adnrw Have been with Aussie Broadband for… 18 months now. Seems longer. But they have been excellent. Still getting 95-96/36 on our 100/40 FTTP. Better than TPG and MyRepublic before that. Had a major problem a few months ago and they were great at keeping on top of NBN dudes.

With NBN fixed wireless in meltdown (over-subscribed & at capacity), + our mobile blackspot, I finally paid the $1150 for a signal repeater for the house. Non-existent upload speeds this week was the final straw. Mobile download much better, upload a bit better. #nbn #dubbo

We're staggering #nbn fixed wireless use here today w. the uni student having several hours of online lectures between 9-3. I'm planning uploads & digital content scheduling around those times. Thankfully the Handyman's job isn't digital. This really is shit. #dubbo

6 years today since I connected to the world with @NBN_Australia fixed wireless. It's been a bumpy ride to say the least. Lots of broken promises that if it were a marriage would have ended in divorce years ago. #auspol

@sallquig If I didn't have call assist on my WiFi, I'd have to rely on 1 bar of 3G. That's going to hurt when the NBN is down.

NBN is now trying increase its wholesale prices, and thereby retail prices, for its **** product blaming increased competition from other forms of suppliers. I thought the capitalist model claims that increased competition leads to lower prices?

@NBN_Australia Worst customer experience I’ve ever encountered. Message on 23/4 advising would resolve in 7 days. Message 2 on 3/5 requiring another 10 days then feedback survey on 16/5, which I completed. Posted on Twitter on 20/5 with escalation team, yet still no update 😡

@redruby17 We've been having trouble for months.... TPG have given up sending daily 'NBN' repair & emergency repair updates. Isn't the FTTN internet just grand? Especially when copper cable keeps getting flooded.

@HenryTheEgg @KirstyLNeedham You have half an argument here. The Port of Darwin issue was 100% a bad decision. But on Huawei, the government blocked telcos from using them ( not just NBN, but all telcos).

@theage @zoesam93 Our new government has inherited an infrastructure debacle that will take time to fix. Increasing the cost of access to the #NBN is wrongheaded.

@Optus 1/2 1. Your service has been more than disappointing this year, with constant service interruptions. 2. Brisbane 4103 post code been experiencing NBN outages for the past 3 days (Optus service anyway) To point 2 it is more irritating that it is intermittent it would

@smh @zoesam93 Dear @NBN_Australia — simply put, do better! Your network deserves to be shown up for the joke that it is. It was barely good enough and then incrementally delivered to lesser and lesser standards.

@Richard81199310 @Pentanet_ISP Sadly looks like it was a marketing ploy only. I too was looking forward to saying goodbye to poor nbn but 12 months later here we still are…

< tiny proportion of NBN installations: places so remote that there was no other option. I live just outside Melbourne and it’s the only NBN ‘broadband’ service I can get. Of course I switched to Starlink when it became available. The problem isn’t competition, it’s that the >

@Bedeapk Look I don’t have a huge problem with the NBN, it’s certainly not the worst 50b the government’s ever spent. But pretending it had long term economic viability was delusional. I recall at the time that people were warning 5G & satellite wireless would do precisely this
