    @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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MartinAnne139 Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @Telstra This is not much help as this has been going on for weeks so I suggest you contact the nbn and get this sorted thank you. Such failures around communication when dealing with the elderly some like my parents have no idea about this.

  • 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.

  • BeCarbin Bernadette Carbin (@BeCarbin) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @AusIndiMedia Your NBN couldn’t be that slow could it??

  • VK1MIC Wade (@VK1MIC) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    NBN BATTERY PROTIP unless you actually have a wired phone they do not offer anything and you can take the battery out - you just open the box. Grab the terminals and slide them off - and they never beep again! Every place we have been in with NBN has had its battery tossed.

  • 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.

  • 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 ?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • ThylacinusC BlackStar (@ThylacinusC) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    So the technician temporarily fixed our NBN today. He said it was the modem (it wasn't as I used my other modem and it was the same issue). Now the internet is down again. Why are we paying so much for faulty, unreliable internet? #Telstra #nbn

  • 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!!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • MartinAnne139 Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • MartinAnne139 Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Dear @Telstra I would like to say a big thank you to the staff member who rang my 91 yr old Dad and 89 yr old Mum and informed them they would be turning off their service Re them not understanding the NBN. This is unacceptable contact me thanks

  • 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.

    @dwight_burto @playrustconsole I have never had this happen to me now? Ever since 1.3 i have had no problems playing no door glitchs or anything but.. to be fair i am playing on a ps5? But i have nbn soo?

  • rask_leif Leif Rask (@rask_leif) reported

    @NBN_Australia I’ve spoken to NBN on many occasions. There is planned maintenance 27/7 (yay). I have been advised twice that no fix is coming before September. It was broken 19th May, but apparently “within operational limit” now, even though my house is hot-spotting Vodafone. Sick of it.

  • Plock95840779 Plock (@Plock95840779) reported

    @Telstra Exchange and that lazy NBN techs " borrow" my good pair when they can't be arsed looking for another and i get a crappy pair on it's place. The fibre spur from Wodonga runs down my driveway and on to the East Coast I have been shown the tap in point in my neighbours paddock

  • mikeaubrey2 🇦🇺mikeaubrey🏳️‍🌈 (@mikeaubrey2) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    @btckr @SammieMacM @RoyanWg How many hours have you got.....I think we're 27th down the list, got almost 12months credit at one stage.....now over it not worth the effort fighting Telstra and NBN.

  • enveebe Nick veeBee (@enveebe) reported

    @TPG_Telecom I don't need feedback, I need whomever is dragging the chain to pull their finger out of their rear and get @NBN_Australia to restore the service, today!

  • brettcarter62 Brett Carter (@brettcarter62) reported

    Just got an upgrade NBN antenna installed. No dropout since and speed almost 25mb/s. Unheard of here, not complaining. Upload still slow at 2mb/s. One day maybe. #internet

  • helterskelter25 helter skelter (@helterskelter25) reported

    @NBN_Australia fix the issues in Bonnet Bay NSW ! A week of dropouts ! Seriously !

  • mohammad7175 Mohammad Makki (@mohammad7175) reported

    @NBN_Australia Well, I have talked to them and I even changed my provider to make sure. The NBN technician said that NBN is upgrading the services soon and hopefully your speed will improve! Meanwhile I could lower the service to 25mbps as I was on 100mbps earlier. This will only save me money

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @mohammad7175 Hi Mohammad, regarding the network upgrades, nbn is currently working with industry partners to work through the exact details of the order/upgrade process. It's expected that service providers 1/2

  • twoeoz Peter Newton (@twoeoz) reported

    Sounds like SCammo is only sorry for the Strollout time ….. but not for the entire stuff up …. Like they did with the NBN wants to tell everyone the good news but avoids the bad news, a total hypocrite. #ABCNews
