  • MischNarracott Michelle Butterfield (@MischNarracott) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Telstra I’m a patient person. However when my very elderly parents in Kiama are left without a land line for over 20 days & I discover that someone in @telstra or @nbn didn’t create a ‘Task ID’ for the third time in 3 weeks I reach a state of total frustration. Pls help.

  • kylechine Kyle Chine (@kylechine) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Great. My NBN connection has broken completely.

  • mohammad7175 Mohammad Makki (@mohammad7175) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia Update: Thanks for sending someone to have a look. He tried to help but finally concluded that the most speed I can get here is 17mbps! because we are 1 km away from the node. I need to find an altenrantive for NBN. It should not be this low next to a main street. #nbndisaster

  • michael50lodge 💧Michael Lodge (@michael50lodge) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @PeterCronau @MorpheusBeing Our 'world class' NBN is crap

  • Laura_the_chef Swen_fanfictwriter (@Laura_the_chef) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    It was an NBN problem, which means I can't fix it. I told her that but that wasn't a good enough excuse. Do now I am a fat lazy spoilt child all because i didn't drop everything to sort out all her problems. She then told my dad that and threatened to stop helping me financially

  • AlexBrangwin Alexandria Brangwin (@AlexBrangwin) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DoctorKarl Can't believe this was an election issue and everyone chose so poorly. @TurnbullMalcolm, @TonyAbbottMHR & @JoeHockey screwed Australian internet over for generations. #NBN #Fail

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @TonyAbbottMHR We could say the same thing about you and your previous government when it comes to the shit NBN you built. What a disaster.

  • Bente_Andersen1 Bente 🇦🇺🇳🇴🇩🇰 (@Bente_Andersen1) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Scott Morrison is trying to do what Turnball did with the NBN. Destroy the future and the environment by lying about the ESF. It has done nothing, it will never do anything except line their business cronies pockets.

  • Shane_Szakacs Shane Szakacs (@Shane_Szakacs) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Been in my new house 7 weeks & @NBN_Australia keeps canceling & will not give me a reason why. Hopefully @Telstra complaints department can help. #internetsucks

  • mohammad7175 Mohammad Makki (@mohammad7175) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @NBN_Australia one genuine question: apparently because of the lockdown in Wollongong, NBN cannot send out a technician! I thought you are an essential service?! Also, the technician needs to check out the lines and wiring, etc. and they have no contact with a person. why can’t they work?

  • Jacqui_Wales Jacqueline Wales (@Jacqui_Wales) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    Three minutes to go in the #NRLDragonsManly game and @FOXNRL on @Foxtel Play is dropping out. A shitty feed, or is it the shitty @NBN_Australia. We may never know.

  • StephenJonesMP Stephen Jones MP (@StephenJonesMP) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @choppers91 @RobOakeshott1 Hey Michael sorry for delay. Have asked my office to follow up on Monday. Rob, you’ve always been solid on NBN but simply not true that we are saying job done. We will inherit a mess. Don’t know the scale of it & won’t make reckless promise about time & cost to fix it.

  • trevorlong Trevor Long (@trevorlong) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @seamus @brett_gibson @charlietech @wendy_harmer @robbie_buck @abcsydney The primary reason Nbn needed to add cvc capacity is because Australians - and click baiting journos at some publications - would simply say “nbn is stuffed” when they have issues, when in fact it’s the telcos that fail to provision bandwidth... anyway... good times

  • iB3nji Ben (@iB3nji) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @DrRimmer @guytaur @smh It’s disappointing the Libs stuffed the NBN up in the first place. It’s a complete and utter mess now. Will be difficult to fix now.

  • cambuslangtrain John Roach (@cambuslangtrain) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @LesStonehouse Faithful to Telstra for 40 years despite our blind loyalty not being reciprocated in quality of service or pricing. Switched to Optus at NBN connection time some years back. Could not be happier with Optus!! Stuff Telstra "and all who ro(r)t in her!!"

  • StephenJonesMP Stephen Jones MP (@StephenJonesMP) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

    @Gardevoir101 @AustralianLabor @MRowlandMP We’ve already announced our NBN Customer Service Guarantee. More to come.

  • unicornstar17 Elicia Holland (@unicornstar17) reported from Wollongong, State of New South Wales

  • andrewvitu Andrew V (@andrewvitu) reported

    @Mark_Butler_MP You can extend this to the LNP in general. They tanked the NBN on purpose because… Australia will never have to worry about remote work? Panned out just as well as all their other policies. “Back in black” etc etc.

  • dwightwalker Dwight Walker (@dwightwalker) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    Exetel NBN is down again when trying to watch Premier of Queensland announce new Ekka holiday

  • GarethKnapman Gareth Knapman (@GarethKnapman) reported

    Trying to work with slow internet using during lockdown - knowing that every school kid is doing the same - I’m really reminded that Tony Abbott had no vision, when he said broadband NBN would only be used for watching porn!

  • humpjbear1 Bear (@humpjbear1) reported

    @MFWitches @abcnews In my opinion, it's one of Turnbell's biggest failures. Labor had such a great plan to give Australians top quality internet and he scrapped it for his garbage and expensive NBN.

  • BlairGabbe Blair Gabbe (@BlairGabbe) reported

    @Optus Hi for the past week my HFC NBN is terrible from midnight to about 6am. Upto 50% packet loss and always buffering. Any idea on what's going on. I'm in Croydon 3136 Vic

  • anintegralstate Elizabeth Humphrys (@anintegralstate) reported

    @DavidFarrugiaAU 🙏 I figured. Especially given I have zero issues on the NBN (even when I supposedly use all my data because it’s lockdown and I’m streaming too much bored senseless in the evenings)

  • redbigot Brian Handreck (@redbigot) reported

    @dontcallmekatie 5G is a viable speed replacement if available, but more expensive on data and subject to load variation. Telstra actually have the best FTTN solution with modems having 4G failover if the NBN connection is lost.

  • wythme_ wythme (@wythme_) reported

    @TPG_Telecom CANCEL MY ACCOUNT! I’m sick of your service, I’ve escalated my cancellation request 3 times now & no one from your cancel email is getting back to me. Your service is a joke. #TPG #NBN

  • mikebethune Michael Bethune (@mikebethune) reported

    @VicGovDH Vic Health, you don't list telecommunications workers or providers as authorised providers or workers, but you do list phone shops. So if people's NBN or internet goes down, and staff go to fix it so people can work from howe, they can be fined?
