NBN Outage in Byron Bay, Byron Shire, State of New South Wales

@JezNews NBN was never going to work properly

@stuartrobertmp FIX THE NBN!!!

“The staggering sum was highlighted by the nation’s peak body for phone and internet users on Wednesday, in a response to the consumer watchdog’s NBN Wholesale Service Standards Inquiry draft decision.”

@StuartEdser A litany of poor decisions relating to the environment, treatment of asylum seekers, welfare recipients and the NBN

“By next year, the NBN Co has promised to have 8.1 million homes and businesses using the service, with a further 11.7 million ready to connect. However, experts have warned the NBN’s speed and reliability issues will only worsen as more households and businesses connect.”

“However, Internet Australia chair Paul Brooks slammed the report as “self-serving” & “disingenuous”. “Clearly [the NBN Co] have an image problem they’re trying to repair, and that image problem is justified,” Dr Brooks said. Speedtest ranks Australia 61st for broadband speed”

“Mr Mullen claimed that the NBN’s high wholesale pricing would force resellers to “withdraw or go broke”, with consumers ultimately losing out. “The downside of this in turn will be fewer service providers and ultimately higher broadband prices to the consumer,” Mr Mullen said.”

“Labor had spent around $6.5 billion on the NBN when the Coalition took power in 2013, with the government since splashing more than $44 billion of taxpayer funds to create what experts have described as an “obsolete” and “third-world” broadband network.” Arrogant f**king lnp.

@platykitten We're already paying for a substandard service. Let NBN pay the fkn tax

@doctorconcosta @ItsBouquet @oldlillipilli But the NBN is a **** show. $77m reward for under performing execs. Wonder how much they would have got if they brought it in on time & on budget?

BSODs so now all my game files have been corrupted for some reason and now i am in a lot of mental anguish and @NBN_Australia has **** dl speeds, because we ended up with subpar broadband infrastructure because a couple of blokes wanted to save some money

@dawnstarau I’m sure all the fat bonuses that @NBN_Australia Execs got that it allowed them to ditch their connections and go with TPG Fibre 1000 connections that NBN will never, ever deliver.

@GRAILKNIGHT1 @SquigglyRick @MurrayWatt I agree with this observation. Policy driven by ideology. LNP want to smash every service where govt. helps people. Numerous examples : Centrelink, NDIS, NBN, domestic violence grass roots services, Aust Post, CSIRO, Aust Alcohol & Other Drugs Council of Aust, Medicare.

@NBN_Australia this is not fair. Your techs "fixed" wiring in the street so our neighbors now have internet but we lost ours the same day. Not a coincidence. Now we have to wait 10 days for your tech to fix what they broke.

@Telstra Why is our internet always down in our area. The stupid nbn has got knobs on it. Total waste of money

@Telstra What's the use when we have no service in our area. All afternoon l have been trying to get Netflix on the Xbox to absolutely no avail . THE nbn is totally useless in our area. so bloody annoying

@Telstra The troubleshooting tool advised that there was an issue with NBN and not outages so a technician was booked to check our connection

@GyledC @dawnstarau Lol. It’s like they want to fail. The year is 2021 and NBN Co are trying to emulate dialup modems using fiber optics. Because why not?

@twit_generic @abcnews @ScottMorrisonMP No don’t be silly, this is the SAME money he promised for bushfire recovery, then flood recovery, then covid recovery, then NBN ‘fix’ and then for purchasing vaccines. He will then make it reliant on robodebt 2.0 making the same as the failed robodebt 1 was supposed to make.
