    Let me guess @Telstra you want me to call your incompetent staff again... HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM NOW!!!! 2000236045330 otherwise I'm taking my 2 mobiles (BYO), NBN and foxtel to another provider..

  • Granville4879 Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @jonesy2794 @TwitterSupport I feel lucky as a restart of the phone seems to have fixed it for now. Or I could just blame NBN as I have also gone to the mobile network.

    @roastthekipfler @AusIndiMedia My NBN service over the last 3 or 4 days has been very poor. I did try G4 a while back but that wasn't very consistent either. I am waiting for the arrival of G5 in my area in the hope that may actually work as advertised.

    @TurnbullMalcolm @rhysam I have to assume you are speaking out of ignorance of technology. PSTN is cat 3 copper with a theoretical maximum of 10 Mbps. And voice calls over my NBN connection are such poor quality we mostly cannot understand the majority.

  • LeVoyageurOz 💧Le voyageur (@LeVoyageurOz) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    And right on cue my NBN goes down. That should be a huge election issue. #QandA

  • MoodsMoody Moods Moody (@MoodsMoody) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    Worst NBN plans and providers revealed in new report Biggest scam going way to much for any internet way over budget way over cost.And to have Telstra run makes even a bigger con job .. Good one Rudd you fool ..How much Rudd

    @HansOrph @deccles26 @NBN_Australia @Foxtel NBN outages is one of the reasons I selected @VodafoneAU for my NBN provider. 4G backup kicks in automatically if the network falls over. Worth considering changing to them if you need/want seamless internet

    @KateEmerson88 We had the same issue and I work for an emergency after hours service at home for aged care and disability. We changed providers and couldn't be happier. Telstra and the NBN are crap

  • Vikimtourer Vikim (@Vikimtourer) reported

    @MichaelSpring17 I have heard many small businesses are not happy with the NBN and I know it's ok in some areas but a lot that has a lot of dropouts and is slow.

  • raywilton4 Ray Wilton 💧 (@raywilton4) reported

    “Our modem takes five to 10 minutes to reconnect so this can often mean at least 25 to 50 minutes a day of disruption to our service and this is still considered acceptable by NBN and they will do nothing to fix it.”

  • cat240359 Catriona Thoolen ⚛️ (@cat240359) reported

    @KateEmerson88 @rkd993 We lost NBN in March and were advised by our supplier that they would fix it before 7th July 2022.😲 Yes, there is no one that NBN can be reported to. They did fix it in about 6 weeks, rather than the 4 months we were first told. Over time "all" copper will have to be replaced.

  • TedCart65759109 Ted Carter (@TedCart65759109) reported

    @Kat_veritas @JohnBirmingham During the campaign, ALL candidates and their policies should be reviewed, as should the performance of the government. During the last 9 years, apart from the issues already stated the government has attempted to fix the NBN, persecuted Bernard Collaery and Witness K. But Albo?

  • CrankYanker2 CrankYanker🇸🇾🇵🇸🇾🇪🇲🇲🇦🇫🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈💉💉💉💉 (@CrankYanker2) reported

    @LesStonehouse @jellybean1934 Shoot refugees on site, hold public events where the rich can laugh at poor people who can beg for scraps, cancel Medicare, the NDIS & the NBN, sue everyone on twitter, turn aged care centres into death camps, ensure women are kept in their place

  • peggymel2001 Peggy Sanders (@peggymel2001) reported

    @CaptJeff If Scott Morrison is re-elected he will come in hard and fast with his not so secret IPA Change Agenda. My bet is ABC national broadcaster, emergency channel will be first on chopping block. NBN to waiting mates. Then universal health, education system to US insurance corps.

    @davidbewart Sorry - took a while to like this as nbn was down again.

  • MattInSydney Matthew Smith (@MattInSydney) reported

    @OzzyCobber @Vic_Rollison @rachelbaxendale It’s not so much ideology as crony capitalism. The LNP has been worth billions to Murdoch over the last decade (their slower NBN slowed down the loss of Foxtel viewers to streaming, an almost $1b tax bill was dropped when Abbott won etc).

  • sensible_chris So sensible (@sensible_chris) reported

    Here we go again. The LNP, who could not implement a social programme if they tried, are rewriting history. The facts: Labor initiated NBN with fibre to the premises Coalition (against all advice) changed mid stream and put fibre to the node Now a substandard service. #auspol
