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.

I hate that nbn is down at midnight ?? Who does a maintenance at midnight???

Nbn sucks

@TurnbullMalcolm So how good 4 the whole climate emergency has that half a billion given 2 the reef "research" co. Pls come clean about this (& the NBN con job) as exposing LNP as grifters will do more 4 climate change than any of your road 2 Damascus op-eds! Please, 4 the sake of our kids!

Hi @Telstra my nbn connection dies temporarily again, and still my "smart" modem doesn't kick over to 4G as promised. Why does this keep happening? Remote service repair from last time still didn't fix it.

@Telstra I currently have 85mb download speed but zero upload speed at 2225. On nbn. What’s the problem ?

@ardtarig Hi Donald, so that we are on the same page your NBN internet side is working fine after installation however the home phone side is not working, is this correct? Kartik

@Optus . NBN installed today. Still not able to receive telephone calls. NBN technician advised to contact optus if not working after two hours

I’ve since managed 3/4 (re-seat cable) and 4/4 (settle for lower resolution) so I can declare victory for now and get on with disconnecting the NBN NTD UPS battery before the feeping drives me mad.

@NBN_Australia NBN crap 6,4KB/sec. on 7.23PM Eastern time QLD , Australia stop been rooster ....we pay you not so cheap ?.

@twitchimb Hate to destroy your hopes but I’ve received heaps of notifications about maintenance taking place and my internet hasn’t improved. NBN is just horrible 😭 hopefully that’s not the case for you though 🤞
