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...

@warnie1aus Oh...the make up doesnt work like that mostly here....just a bunch of clowns....lol...We also have an nbn tower on the farm...7 metres by 7....they charge rates for it at the same rating as hundreds of acres....#NewYorkMafia

@NBN_Australia They are lagging because of the atrocious nbn outages that keeps happening (service provided was notified, stop passing the buck). I regret moving to nbn 1 month ago- 3 outages so far... only 1 outage with my reliable adsl in 10 years

@NBN_Australia Unbelievable, 3 outages in 1 month!!! I had 1 outage in 10 years with ADSL2. Simply unacceptable (Yes, my service provider has been contacted, it is nbn network outage)

@NBN_Australia If your techs drive to the addresses Ive provided and cannot locate the fault then they should be fired. Out of a canon. Into the sun. If the org is so broken that it cannot handle a simple public safety report then I hope everyone responsible is named at a royal commission.

@Telstra you're nbn service is a joke. You promise to provide a service that you clearly can't or don't and expect customers to pay a premium. I've been on the phone with incompetent support staff for 32 mins who don't know how to deal with the situation.

@hughewilliams @NBN_Australia Fight between existing and new provider over who should repair broken socket and then couldn't reconnect anyway as my service had been terminated. All that for a service that costs 20% more and 10% slower than what I had.

@DeanRosario As first NBN guy they sent couldn't fit under the house. 2nd had to cancel with family health. 3rd time as I help with Powerchair football on Saturdays, NBN said we will come Saturday, cancelled (but their system down) and they stil turned up. Waiting for 5g to get released

@hughewilliams @NBN_Australia Don't get me started. Took me 6 weeks to switch. Booked, attended, unplugged and then realized the whole street wasn't transitioned to the NBN yet, so just left. I couldn't reconnect to existing provider as they broke the socket. Can't call NBN to fix or discuss issue [1/2]

@NBN_Australia @theREALwelbot Stop using “Hey” your talking to a Customer, not some random friend!

@bmccoy4 @NBN_Australia We, as Australians would have to be the stupidest people on earth to think $70+ Billion Dollars spent on the @NBN_Australia for the ridiculously slow speeds. Talk about a white Elephant!
