NBN Outage in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

@Deligracy No, this is closely guarded but what is wisely known is classifying the NBN as a commercially entity, to keep it off the national books (making them look better) means nodes are up to 500m distant. Upgrading to fibre won't fix NBN pricing (congestion) as a result either.

@Telstra NBN speed slow and dropping out in Flynn act is there issue

@JaneCaro @NBN_Australia Just send a tweet about The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman NBN suddenly played nice. So did my provider. I got my own support person!!

Hey @andy_penn why won’t you fix phone lines in fire effected areas that will only get satellite NBN? These areas used to have decent ADSL. People can’t sign up for satellite because it’s over subscribed. Looking forward to your field team fixing this.

@gusworldau @NBN_Australia It’s frustrating when you know more about the problem than the person copying and pasting boilerplate yet you’re powerless to fix it.

@mrbargearse @PuntHubAus The issue is the poor level that the NBN brings in country areas.. it is simply ordinary. Pay for 100% get less than 1% in peak periods. This is the issue for the streaming argument. The infrastructure is woeful.

@Angela60650391 @juliemonry @ABCaustralia With NBN there isn't even that need anymore. I have been receiving gov updates via my mobile phone provider not the ABC at all. All commercial broadcasters ate required to provide community service announcements. Their is no longer a need for the ABC.

NBN capacity lifted to help those who can work from home to do so.

@NBN_Australia Response from NBN - ‘Go to your service provider’ 🙄 They’ve been on it for months guys. You’re the hold up.

Everyone giving scomo grief for leadership but the bosses from Telstra and NBN should be high on the list for poor leadership, thousands of people with no phones or internet, hours, days, weeks and months spent by people just trying to use a service in Australia in 2020...

@Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.

@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.

@NBN_Australia @UncleAl60932514 Tweak plans = poor Project management = ad-hoc mess. #nbn

@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.

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

@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.

@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

@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

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

@Margforequality You know if this mob had of just kept labor’s original plan we would have saved haps of money now they are patching the NBN everywhere to make it work , mine has never worked properly

@mjrowland68 Hi Michael the only NBN option for me is SkyMuster. Which is satellite when it rains no signal so a waste of money useless.

6.05 AM and I have already submitted a complaint to the Telco Ombudsman to try and get @NBN_Australia to connect us after 6 months of failure. @iiNet @Telstra have failed! Ironic my PhD was on optical fibres!

@AlanMitchellAFR They were doing it anyway. They were upgrading FTTN areas to FTTC because the nodes never delivered. But desperate for an announcement, they are now doing the NBN upgrade due to ‘Covid’, not under performing technologies. #auspol

@cupateakate @FinancialReview It's not the cost that was the main problem, it was the time. The scope needed to be reduced to speed up the rollout. If the "proper" NBN was provided from the start there's no way it would be almost finished now.

@Technorants @JBell100099 @MRowlandMP Yes, the NBN. We have enterprise DSL service and looking to upgrade to enterprise NBN on fibre which was laid in front of the shop. They advised that the a separate Ethernet service would have to be installed as we cant piggyback off the fibre out front.

@MicheleScheffl1 @davidbewart Malcolm was caught between the Luddite hard right and a boulder. Remember, the NBN 'plan' is from Rabbott's time and @TurnbullMalcolm was just the 'messenger'. It is a crap plan, and deep down I reckon he knew it, but Murdoch and the LNP Luddites were just too big a hurdle.

Right. Troubleshooting the network for over an hour only to find out the NBN pulled the plug for maintenance. You’d think they can give a heads up? #nbnco #nbn

@FinancialReview Curiously can’t help wondering how much difference in cost if we’d done the proper NBN from the start?

Rudd's an idiot. Practically nobody who ******* about the NBN would be prepared to pay for a gigabit plan. Most of them won't even fork out for 100/40 now. They're like Rudd, ****** whingers
