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

@peggymel2001 Either way, we still got a crap NBN!

@davidbewart I would put money on it and get very low odds. Didn't Malcolm then donate 40mil to Murdoch. The NBN was undermined to protect the Foxtel cable network. It's obvious. Who did it for what reason.I'm sure they all deny but the NBN experience and internet speeds speak for themselves

@JoshButler Spineless as PM, terrible at NBN, terrible interior decorator, if those drapes are anything to go by, but talks sense when it comes to energy policy & the disaster of fossil fuels as a source of energy in the future when the rest of the world is divesting in fossil fuels.

@davidbewart Sounds like a perfectly reasonable explanation for why NBN is so ****.

@davidbewart Well, if not for that reason. Why the hell did he **** up the NBN so much?

Turnbull not worth listening to on climate, he wimped out to save his job. Even worse **** up than his NBN one! #afternoonbriefing #auspol

@AlboMP Never signed upto NBN, due to all the issues with appointments, and the call centre. Whether it be computers are down and we can't record not available on weekends. New cabling required (cable already at house). 1/x

@gothfemme The only kind of both sides-ing I support is that Karl was right and trans and NBN comrades are also right. This my centrism

@MuzFN it really is a problem ur so excited for nbn, ur going to be disappointed.

@iiNet Hi iiNet, my nbn appears to be down in Glen Iris, Victoria. Any info for me?
