  • TheGrumpyGamer1 The Grumpy Gamer (@TheGrumpyGamer1) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    I cannot wait till our NBN connection goes live!!! Hopefully only a few more weeks of this crap. And if anyone wants to share this with The Signal Co, go nuts, cause apparently I’m a rude and difficult to deal with, so they’ve blocked me on Twitter!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • TravGee1980 Travis (@TravGee1980) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    .@HankJongen @Telstra uses this technology. I have made 19 calls to them since August 2018 about reconnecting our work landline and cancelling #NBN They have a record of 3. This is not about improving customer service. It's about compliance & surveillance. #Auspol #Satanlink

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • AlexDunnin alex dunnin (@AlexDunnin) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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

  • OhCheyTTV OhhChey (@OhCheyTTV) reported

    Update Apparently its an nbn issue at the moment so stream might still happen!

  • BetDetective BigDikVikTheMastersPik (@BetDetective) reported

    ...and in a similar vein i'd like to say a big thank you to @NBN_Australia for a recent upgrade that cost me $250 for a new modem which has only served to make a terrible service even worse. You useless bastards.

  • Katalae1 Katalae |Vtuber| Hiatus~ (@Katalae1) reported

    Our signal is fine but the connection dies and restarts every 5 minutes. Its unusable and a waste of money. We waited as we were told between 8am and 12pm. We called them after 1 and was told we'd hear back by the end of the day if nbn don't show up with a new timeslot.

  • Chrissyhansard 💧Christine Hansard (@Chrissyhansard) reported

    @AlexBallhausen @TonyHWindsor Totally agree. We live about 50klms north of Sydney and have very little to no coverage! Hardly the Simpson Desert either. Telstra’s solution….. get NBN, so you have a land line, no other choice.

  • ikatzsolutions iKatz Solutions (@ikatzsolutions) reported

    Optus customers: an outage is currently experienced. Mainly mobile telephony is impacted but there were reports of NBN outages: so safe to assume Optus network will be unstable till resolved.

  • Katalae1 Katalae |Vtuber| Hiatus~ (@Katalae1) reported

    @NBN_Australia and Aussie Broadband have not yet fixed our internet like they were booked in to do last Friday. The out door unit is ******. Aussie Broadband have told us they are looking into it but we have not heard back and we have called them 3 times now. Fix it! Ffs.

  • Katalae1 Katalae |Vtuber| Hiatus~ (@Katalae1) reported

    Haven't heard a thing back. Aussie Broadband have been in contact with nbn for us but we are sick of waiting with no return calls or emails or information regarding out connection issues. We shouldn't have to ride their lazy asses to get it fixed.

  • canisgard canisgard ⚰ hiatus (@canisgard) reported

    @__negg it sounds like i'm joking, but i'm with dodo and it hasn't really given me trouble since they upgraded the landline for NBN otherwise i can derecommend telstra and iinet lmaoo one charges a lot and the other has too many outages/slower than promised speeds

  • heavenlyimagine fairy godmother (@heavenlyimagine) reported

    22mins of my life gone 10 on hold the rest to talk to 2 people to cancel my NBN Having to explain 2x I am in hospital stuck in bed and currently homeless. Why do they make these things so difficult.

  • Tom97690051 Tom (@Tom97690051) reported

    @SpinTelAU currently have been without internet for 4 days in Fitzroy North. Have tried multiple times to call only to be put on hold or hung up on. NBN Network status reports no issues for my address. What is going on?
