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.

@RonniSalt What are the chances that this was already happening? That the nodes were never performing reliably at the speeds promised. That to not get spanked for needing to upgrade them to FTTC or FTTP, this was happening unannounced? Then Covid and look how good we are? #NBN #auspol

@AlboMP 5G makes the NBN irrelevant for 99% of consumers you idiot

@BLShiv @BernardKeane @TurnbullMalcolm NBN fiber was always GPON (under Labor). GPON is perfectly able to deliver extremely high quality service as long as split ratios are low enough. Low quality networks go up as high as 1:128 but NBN Co’s was a very reasonable 1:32 at maximum.

@PaulFletcherMP @NBN_Australia Paul later went on to say "We found out that during high demand our heap of **** network couldn't cope so we are going to do what Labor was going to do but we are going to make you fools pay extra for it"

Australian National Broadband Network (NBN) is a study on how not to implement state infrastructure. Paper on it? Obviously.

@mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Even if Apple released iPhone 20 tomorrow for $1, the LNP would upgrade their iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5... because 5 comes after 4.. Copper was more expensive, half arsed, requires constant cable replacement, is slow. How many MP's made money from a copper NBN? #ICAC #Corruption

@MsLods @dawnstarau @rohan_p From my memory of reading through the NBN bits there wasn't anything in there I didn't already know (was never going to be a mea culpa)

If Luddite moron Tony Abbott hadn’t ****** up the #NBN we’d ALREADY have a nationwide ultra-fast broadband backbone - a massive investment in Australia’s future. The LNP has FINALLY realised that this was the way to go and @MrKRudd was right. Better late than never? #auspol

@MadFckingWitch @NBN_Australia I used to have it. Fixed wireless here (rural WA). I now use an old phone and hotspot to my laptop. Just as fast and half the price. NBN are terrible to deal with too BTW
