    @BawdenSnoek I don't mind, sometimes I hang on until I get a real person after such calls about Telstra or NBN. Then I call them thieves and liars until they hang up.

    @DendyCanberra big problems with the movie system tonite. It’s like they’re streaming it thru a dodgy NBN connection and the buffering is on dial-up. So bad they’ve just rebooted the system. Extraordinary.

    @paulestorey @NBN_Australia I'll be on FTTC, so I'm hopeful. Congestion shouldn't be an issue.

    @theoztrucker The subs don't make a lot of sense and the NBN was always a disaster, a Rolls Royce limo instead of a bus service. The Snowy I don't know, seems to make sense. The fighter aircraft are necessary but not themselves. They are for reasons no one wants to voice.

    @toadmeister @guardian Sorry Toby, you are being mislead by the Guardian as usual. Netflix states you need 5Mbs for HD quality viewing. Every Australian on the NBN has at least 10Mbs connection. The ALP stated the NBN would cost $40 billion dollars not $15 and it was never going to happen for that.

    .@HankJongen @Telstra uses this technology. I have made 19 calls to them since August 2018 about reconnecting our work landline and cancelling #NBN They have a record of 3. This is not about improving customer service. It's about compliance & surveillance. #Auspol #Satanlink

    @benny_132 @horrorfan4129 @Telstra Thanks. I've been waiting on hold. I will hang up and get on with my day. I feel sorry for people relying on #nbn for their livelihood when these things happen.

    Australia is drowning, rather than surfing, thanks to ScoMo’s LNP. “... after spending $51 billion on a second-rate obsolete network the Coalition government’s plan for the NBN has been a total failure”. #AusPol

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Have endured weeks of very slow NBN speed, < 6 Mbps. The techo came, opened the Telstra pit to find 60 yr old copper encased in lead, and broken wires. So much for Tinkering Turnbull’s fibre to the node.

    I cannot wait till our NBN connection goes live!!! Hopefully only a few more weeks of this crap. And if anyone wants to share this with The Signal Co, go nuts, cause apparently I’m a rude and difficult to deal with, so they’ve blocked me on Twitter!

  • Technorants
    Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @NBN_Australia @naomi_t_81 Honestly after you add up all the work required to retrofit the last 1000m of old Telstra phone cabling and fixing issues with customer cabling it becomes much more expensive than the original project scope of fibre to 93% without the constant maintenance bill #nbn

    HFC is a black hole - you can't model a national communications network off what a commerical entity has done overseas #nbn There objective is to keep it above water.

  • Technorants
    Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT

    Quote from @NBN_Australia" One of the challenges nbn has identified are premises that are located too far away from existing nbn™ network assets- Fibre to the Node Cabinet (typically where copper lines exceed 1.3km)" Talk about a no #nbn shit statement

  • Technorants
    Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @peter_c_william @NickRossTech Wonder if he actually engages with the key stakeholders - ie The Australian Public! #nbn So over @NBN_Australia pathetic excuses and covering for the poor decisions of the last 7 years. No wonder many jumped ship when the cards were on the table

    @peter_c_william @RichardTuffin @NBN_Australia Project Management failure at all levels. Including piss poor contractor management. You could have the best tools available (aka Engineers) and still use them incorrectly...#nbn

    Guarantee #NBN have the latency and packet loss data on its microwave links. They have it @AUSenator . It's basic Network management

    @Telstra our nbn continues to drop out every 3-5 minutes but when we call we get told that they will log a ticket and monitor it but nothing changes!!! Why are we paying for a premium service when we are getting NO service?!?

    @NBN_Australia thanks for another install cancellation! Not happy with having to wait over a month for what is, especially in these current times, an essential service

    Hunt says the vaccine roll-out should be finished earlier than expected now that Stephen Rue, CEO of NBN Co. has been placed in charge. Rue, said "It was an easy fix really, just had to change it from VTTI (vaccine to the individual) to VTTH (vaccine to the home)." #AusPol

    @alexeiw123 @BJafari In my particular neck of the woods Optus is better, cheaper, and their customer service is superior to Telstra. To access Telstra mobile internet for home, Yagi $1400 aerial was bought. (no NBN, never will be, satellite too ropey and expensive for my pensioner parents)

    Ryan Makepeace (@Ryan_Makepeace) reported

    How does one actually get @Telstra technical support since the pandemic started in March? My NBN has speed is verging on dial up & no one answers the phone or chat to even troubleshoot it. Can we all get a 9month credit to cover the time you've abandoned your customers?

  • TheLawAU
    Benjamin (@TheLawAU) reported

    The fact that Telstra thinks 6 down and 1 up is a viable internet connection is a joke. It's been a month since I've moved and the excuse we keep getting is "the NBN is down" Yet i connected my uncle's BRAND NEW NBN connection today? Who also moved when I moved.

    Just Me (@JustMediocreMe) reported

    @Adam_Creighton WTF!!?? I’ve never worked so hard in my life. Add into that the social isolation plus the crap NBN the #LNPCrimeFamily rolled out limiting my data speeds as well as the fact that I feel like I’m at work ALL the time. If this is a holiday then send me back to work #fakenews
