  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • Tikkaspecial Steve Smith (@Tikkaspecial) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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

  • Lindday8 Lindsay (@Lindday8) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • cherellemurpfry Cherelle Murphy (@cherellemurpfry) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • Steve_Pesic steve_outandabout (@Steve_Pesic) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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...

  • trib Stephen Collins (@trib) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

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

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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

  • skwashd Dave Hall aka Not Funny (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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.

  • garydlum Gaz 🖖 (@garydlum) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • Elias_Hallaj 💧 Elias Hallaj (@Elias_Hallaj) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    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

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • sargentsarto Adam (@sargentsarto) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

    @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.

  • AussieRoz RepublicanRoz #SaveOurABC💧 (@AussieRoz) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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!!

  • skwashd Dave Hall aka Not Funny (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • garth_morrison Garth Morrison (@garth_morrison) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

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

    @NBN_Australia Oops, anger based typo. You should simply admit and fix your horrendous mistake

  • AngelaMBarra Angela Barra (@AngelaMBarra) reported

    Once again I'm told by Optus rep that they have to speak to my husband. When I explain that I am authorised and there's a process, this is denied. Meanwhile, hubby is at work & once again I'm home & unable to resolve an NBN issue! @Optus The worst company tp deal with!

    At this rate @NBN_Australia should be announcing emergency inage for the rare times it is working. #fraudband

  • DeMarko dannel jurado 🐀 (@DeMarko) reported

    @leighalexander NBN: Guaranteed to never florp!

  • MayasDragon Alwyne Smith. Mastodon @MayasDragon (@MayasDragon) reported

    Latest scam revolves around saying the NBN is updating in our region & for some dumb reason, we need to write down a reference number to give to a technician who will call on Monday. Eh? Two pronged approach to gain credibility, somehow?

  • FordfgFalcon No WelfareCard SA(Survivor of Sueter's CDC Gulag) (@FordfgFalcon) reported

    @BarryLi51767296 a small problem when you are using the nbn. A regular problem experienced when you are stuck on a Cashless card. the power drops the eft pos machines go down. if power off long enough the local exchange goes down so even if you have a generator or battery you are out of luck

  • BarrySteeleNB 💧Barry Steele (@BarrySteeleNB) reported

    @NBN_Australia DM's didn't help last time. I prefer this communication on a public channel. The issue was reported and earliest possible tomorrow. So we are off air for 2 days because your screwed up the network seeding and reduced Fibre to HFC. We're forced to run on 50+ yr old copper.

  • freddie_moffat Freddie Moffat (@freddie_moffat) reported

    @Telstra is there an NBN outage in 3161 Caulfield North? NBN hasn't been working since last night. The uplink light on my connection box is continuously blinking.

  • BarrySteeleNB 💧Barry Steele (@BarrySteeleNB) reported

    Thank you to @NBN_Australia for once again failing to deliver us a service. We explained several times that FTTC was inappropriate given we had robust HFC. You cut us off but connected next door. This is a joke. So we have 2 very senior IT consultants unable to earn an income
