NBN Outage in Curlewis, Greater Geelong, State of Victoria

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

@redspactakells @JustJen64 @KKeneally @vanbadham @LukeHowarthMP @SkyNewsAust @SHendersonMP @LibbyCokerLabor @abcmelbourne Damn right. Sarah is always there for photo opportunities but has failed to deliver NBN, made what should have been a public hospital in Waurn Ponds, a bloody big private hospital which only the insureds can afford! Etc., etc. 0.03% needed to swing to @LibbyCokerLabor #auspol

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...

If it's HFC hybrid NBN, don't change!!! It's terrible. Drops out constantly. NBN is a joke

@Billandbecks Your ISP, and definitely the NBN, will not call you about your service. It's a common scam.

**** THE NBN IS SO SLOW I HATE THIS

@SQRLTV @JeffFavignano here in australia gigabit will never exist the government brought out what they call nbn Im on fiber to the node only had it 6 months but government cap speeds for service providers is 100 down 40 up

Well! Seems NBN is keeping Friday next week as the ready for service date for my area. I'll believe that when I have a live fibre connection, but I'm keeping my hopes up.

Farken nbn/foxtel still not working...

@WeyHo 1/2 Connectivity loss may be due to the recent routine maintenance by NBN co. earlier today between 12midnight-6AM. This was done to further improve the stability of the nbn network. -Geli

We only *have* Foxtel Go, Telstra TV, & Telstra Box Office credit, because they came with Telstra cable - our only option (it is actually VERY good, 110Mbps down; I'm anxious about being forced onto NBN FTTC soon). It does give me an interesting perspective on streaming options.

@NBN_Australia Thanks Paul. The provider is Telstra. Enough said! They don't care. Response is too bad that's what you got. Responsibility must also lie with you. I'm told you only offer 3 packages for retailers to on sell. If service can't meet min avge speed ever then cost should be reduced

@NBN_Australia Issue is NBN network using outdated infrastructure. My service has degraded ever since being forced to move from @Telstra Cable to #NBN. NBN decreased my connection speed from 120Mbps to 44Mbps, 1 issue in 3 years via cable to 8+ connection dropouts daily! Not acceptable.
