NBN Outage in Ballina, State of New South Wales

“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.”

“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.

@trevorwoodart @Aussie_BB Maybe switch to 50mbit you absolute clown, obviously your crap nbn connection doesn't allow that yet you signed up for it anyway. How stupid are you.

Forced to pause my subathon. Internet has dropped 17 times in 12 hours, it's actually impossible Hopefully the tech tomorrow can fix that part he knows is damaged since @NBN_Australia wouldn't replace it last week when he told them it was a problem- I'm really sorry everyone

@MissDissentEats @NBN_Australia Optus wireless broadband - unlimited plan $59 per month - never had a problem with it. 3 laptops, 1 TV, iPads and mobile phones. Multiple devices streaming at the same time and never an interruption

@JonesHowdareyou The NBN is so slow. The LNP really stuffed that whole visionary project up.

@NBN_Australia I'd really like some help getting this fixed instead of "it works on our end". Dropping out 15+ times a day isn't working especially when the technicians know what's wrong and want to replace it

@CalSauer @rohancct @realCarrickRyan Worlds strongest post pandemic economy, trade surpluses, secure borders, defence funded properly. Every vital service funded above 2013 levels. Not leaving badly designed & Unfunded thought bubbles like NBN & NDIS when you leave office doesn’t mean you’ve not achieved anything.

@Joshx Dont listen to the reviews most of those were from 2017 when they first started or they are on other types of NBN which they don't have access to the fast nbn like me and you trust me try them and leave if u dont like em no contract nothing to lose. Full aussie support 24hr

@Optus if there nbn issues in bulleen vic 3105? Had trouble from about 4pm with on and off connection.. I have reset nbn box and router same issues

@its_Aidos1 Honestly, when I was dealing with TPG during 12/21-3/22 I had the same issues over and over. I took out two accounts; one for home and the other, my investment property. Both modems did not work and 10000 phone calls later on top of NBN no-showing 3 times, I went elsewhere.

@RoadknightThe My optus nbn modem died and after a few chats was sent a new upgraded one at no cost plus $25 credit and 25gb on my mobile for the inconvenience. Very happy with their service.
