    Allan Behm (@Mirandaprorsus) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @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.

    Poor capacity management at the #nbn drop in tent at #CanberraShow by @NBN_Australia - already out of #StressBalls Totally devo 🤣😂😂😂 Not surprised that NBN keeps on disappointing

    @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.

    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

    @jakegriffiths @NBN_Australia @SenatorFifield @MRowlandMP @AUSenator Only three weeks ago you say - consistency is pretty bad from @NBN_Australia #NotSurprised #ausvotes

    @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.

    @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

  • Technorants

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

    @NerdyNigel @AfraidOfWidths @SenatorFifield @SteveAustinABC @AUSenator @TurnbullMalcolm @NBN_Australia Maybe he is one of the 5% with a dodgy modem 😂🤣 - suspect the Modem firmware is the least of @NBN_Australia problems, but I bet they spent a shitload of resources to come to the same conclusion we have had for the last 7 years.. that MTM will burn money in maintaince. #nbn

    @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.

    Crap NBN #PromiseOfAustralia

    @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.

    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.

    @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!!

  • RossStewart14

    @Floatdownriver I get this call roughly every second day. It is a computer generated voice and it's a #SCAM .I've had NBN for about 2 years. Just hang up.

  • fenham
    💧Dave Lazzari (@fenham) reported from Queanbeyan, 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

  • TVofCarringbush
    Trivalve (@TVofCarringbush) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @CharlieKeegan1 @masonsixtencox Maybe they should get a few kegs and fix the NBN while they're at it!

  • Colincopeland2
    Col Copeland (@Colincopeland2) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @MConallin I use mobile bb lte. That speeds are fast butt but no consistent. I average around the 20-30gbs Some times up to 170mbs down. I don't have nbn or adsl, so I'm not complaining

  • Lindday8

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

  • MartinAnne139
    Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, ACT

    @Telstra what the heck is going on with my parents phone again. 90 year olds need access to this service and it’s not about unpaid bills! Went through all this with you mob and NBN and quite frankly I’m over it.

    🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported

    Damn, my NBN has been down since noon today. I'm hot-spotting for now, but it's painfully slow down here. Probably the final straw ... if they don't fix it by tomorrow morning, they'll just convince me to embrace 💫 @Starlink not that I need convincing ✨

  • Vision_iii
    VISION 🇦🇺 (@Vision_iii) reported

    @Ryantlon @MarkDiStef How can land prices go down? Council contributions are up, electrical infrastructure costs are up, sewer/water infrastructure costs have more than doubled, NBN costs are up. Council/state requirements are significantly more. Cities are landlocked with land become more and more scarce. Impossible for land cost to go down. As to deregulation, what deregulation? They introduced the regulated design process and you now need to get a PCA who asks for a BCA report from a BCA consultant who demands fire penetration reports, fire engineering reports, facade reports, wind reports, waterproofing reports and waste reports. And that’s just BCA. A task that was previously performed by one consultant now needs at least 8.

    @aaronsmith @jommy_tee To my mind this is decision is less technically competent as choosing to go for a copper NBN rather than fibre As believable a solution as carbon capture and storage

  • ColinSchumway
    Move Your Car (@ColinSchumway) reported

    @TopherField I signed up to Starlink precisely because of the NBN, and the way broadband is handled in this country. Got a technical issue? 9 times out of 10, NBN need to fix. But there is no direct line to them - you have to use your ISP as a middle man to send messages back and forth. Something gets lost in translation, start over. It is an exercise in frustration. The last words I said to my previous ISP ("Aussie" Broadband) was "you just made a very good case for Starlink. Cancel my account" Been on Starlink for almost a year. Not one single drop out, great speeds, even online FPS games run great. TLDR: **** the NBN

    Update. Dodos from NBN came back to tell me it’s my fault and nothing to do with them. Well! Problem solved. It will not be because of them come Thursday, Starlink install day.

    So much for being notified of when the team were coming @NBN_Australia now I don’t know what’s happening with my connection as I’m interstate and my mum couldn’t hang around to see out what they were doing.

    @colonelhogans You Idiot!... barking in the wrong tree!... ask your Thief Pathological Liar Albo... he promised transferracy in his Thief government, he can't even tell to anyone how much they already spend taxpayers money building solar and wind turbine. Even the NBN Gillard thief created.

    Scott Nixon (@MrBrokenEyes) reported

    Ummm. I don’t mean to be “that guy” but, has anyone else noticed that the #EmergencyAlert test seems to have, ya know, crashed the internet in Australia? #NBN is down everywhere. Phone internet seems to be okay. This could get interesting.

  • tastudor0173
    Tas Tudor (@tastudor0173) reported

    @BrentHodgson What's more interest in is the land mines left by a government. The education reforms from RGR, NDIS RGR, NBN RGR just 3 that spring to mind. Abbott should have smashed them all up and we would be in a much better place now with cut down versions. That alone over 10 years must be $500bn.

    @TopherField I have a conspiratorial hypothesis that may interest you regarding NBN The backbone of the Australian military communications at home was a rotting copper wire network and needed to be replaced, but pitching the Australian public on spending billions on military getting a communications upgrade was a hard sell So instead the two majors went at each other on two different versions of the same dumb idea, fiber to the premises vs fiber to the node Now we have ****** fiber optics speeds because it's being speed capped with software, and ironically NBN is the same old HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) technology that Foxtel had installed for years 🫠
