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.

@Telstra @belong any outage of internet nbn @NBN_Australia in 2147 nsw. Its been 1 hr now

@TrolleyJohn @noplaceforsheep @raywilton4 😬👍 Sorry to be bearer of bad news Des. Hot off NBN, Beatles have broken up. Seems like Yesterday. (when all our troubles seemed so far away)

@NBN_Australia How about before doing any research you start fixing existing faults in your awful network, constant drop outs every single day for months on end with no sign of it being fixed. Bloody disgraceful.

So we route the call from our mobile over our wifi, down the NBN line and eventually it makes its way back onto the Telstra phone network to be passed off to where ever the call is terminated.

@TPG_Telecom my internet speeds are very slow, please help. it should be running at 5x the speed and i have nbn :(

@Sunsplashsun @Senator_Patrick @ScottMorrisonMP this bunch of criminal amateurs have stuffed this country..they have squandered decades of surpluses, record gas, coal and iron ore incomes on tax cuts for their mates, stuffed the environment, bungled NDIS, scuttled GONSKI, gutted NBN, war games where we should never have been.

@BarrySteeleTNL @NBN_Australia I wouldn't call it #Fraudband, due to #NBN catering for multiple technologies, as existing Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) cabling can support symmetrical throughput speeds of up to 10Gbps using DOCSIS 4.0 QAM & number one country listed on global speed index only averages 262Mbps etc

@NBN_Australia When do you expect we can be in the top 5? What investment would be necessary? Imagine the national benefits. We need #FTTP not #Fraudband Copper is incompatible with a 21st century national communications network. Wireless won't cut it. We need direct fibre to everyone. Please

@emmettdepalmer We're sorry to hear this, Emmett. nbn may deliver a one-time charge of $300 to the phone and internet providers that place an order for an nbn broadband network. It's up to the service provider whether they pass this on to the customer. 1/2

@NBN_Australia north Annandale (Sydney) area. regular brownouts, or full connection drop, VERY slow uploads. I've ordered a 5G service to augment as it's unusable for work
