    @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.

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

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

  • bridgettilley Bridget Tilley (@bridgettilley) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Hi @Telstra I just received a robo call telling me my internet will be disconnected today to fix a problem ( I don’t have a problem). I’m an @iiNet customer with @NBN_Australia in Belconnen area Canberra. Could you pls advise ?

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • VernVerass Verner Verass (@VernVerass) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @mephistojones Mephisto ~ the NBN is intentionally sub-standard: The original model of fibre to the premises will need to be retro-fitted ~ the NBN requires a rebuild to meet world standard service delivery.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Ian__P Ian (@Ian__P) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @ajamesbragg @AlboMP I'd raise the issue of #NBN advertising which seems wasteful and pointless given they aren't retailing to consumers directly.

  • ianpmcleod Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from 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.

  • Mdm_Fahrenheit Madam M (@Mdm_Fahrenheit) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Hey @NBN_Australia fix your system issues and stop rejecting orders so I can have the internet at my new house! People are trying to work from home you know.

  • 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!!

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

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

  • fenham 💧Dave Lazzari (@fenham) reported from Queanbeyan, State of New South Wales

    @SwannyQLD @colleenhm They will never admit to making a real *****-up of the #NBN and that they spitefully screwed it because it's never been a #LibNat strength to improve things like national infrastructure. All they see is money being spent with no obvious benefits. They suffer from extreme myopia

  • hgo7627 HG (@hgo7627) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @JmarrMarr Apparently we now can — by engaging @NBN_Australia to provide fibre to the home. Because of my crap service I got a quote. Sadly, I won’t get my crap service improved — quote was more than $5k.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • JoshuaWithers Josh Withers (@JoshuaWithers) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @jendudley @eliotharper In the months before we were allowed to switch, NBN staff told me that we were already on the NBN network, they would change everyone slowly, then once all were converted, you could switch.

  • 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...

  • Ninja1Online TheOnlineNinja (@Ninja1Online) reported

    @CapMothy @NBN_Australia Apparently they have a problem with something in their system and the problem is occurring with everyone, no idea when it will be resolved

  • CapMothy Mothy 𓆏 (@CapMothy) reported

    @Ninja1Online @NBN_Australia It's down in NSW 2540 too. I wonder what's going on.

  • stigfinnaren Neil White (@stigfinnaren) reported

    Ordered #StarLink and had it 4 days later and is performing very well. The NBN satellite service was rudimentary at best and Telstra 4G poor to ok.

  • virgotweet Stuart Tomlinson (@virgotweet) reported

    NBN is not working again on desktops #NBNFail

  • staticsan Wade (@staticsan) reported

    NBN ad on Facebook. Lots of complaints about service. Poor social media guys trying to answer nicely but they really need to make those in charge of the company sit down and read it all.

  • SathushkaS Suhan (@SathushkaS) reported

    @CabaiPanas @MyRepublicAU Lmao they are literally quoting what’s on the NBN website. I only got the true extent of the problem after this Twitter post. A mam has the right to know what’s happening if he’s paying well over $100 a month for his connection.

  • r_quazzy ramona quazzola (@r_quazzy) reported

    @independentaus @TonyHWindsor @paulbudde Regrets are a bit late isn’t it? Thé after sales service we received since this bloke took over was so shabby. Things have never been the same since David Thodey left & I haven’t forgotten. #Telstra #NBN

  • Ninja1Online TheOnlineNinja (@Ninja1Online) reported

    Hey @NBN_Australia when is my internet going to be back I have not had internet since yesterday a few days back it was complete fine but not is not working for me in Australia NSW Penshurst 2222

  • Infamooz Tommy G (@Infamooz) reported

    NBN sucks.

  • SoyCuckBoi1 SoyCuckBoi (@SoyCuckBoi1) reported

    @tonytardio Damn bro, an expansion to the rail network doesn't "STACK UP". What are you even saying? Is the implication that Victorias population is unchanging and doesn't need extra PT access for the future? I wonder what your views on the NBN was before whole country was working from home
