  • mcphee23 Sam McPhee (@mcphee23) reported

    @NBN_Australia Same as everyone else, non-stop dropping out, having to reset as much as three or four times a day, slow when working. Been like this for weeks and weeks, apparently there was maintenance but can't have been this long

  • JustinRaethel Justin Raethel (@JustinRaethel) reported

    @muradspi @MissConnieBroo1 @DrVicFielding Do changes count if the other party reverses them when you get voted out? Gillard's ETS was chopped by Abbott before it really kicked in. He lied day after day to win, and then tore just about everything important and progressive down. Mucked up the NBN, made huge NDIS changes...

  • wrhollingsworth William (@wrhollingsworth) reported

    @Optus Yes, it must have just been updated since I last checked. "Reduced service" is a cute way of saying the "the NBN doesn't work at all"

  • capt_petabyte capt.zen.petabyte 🇦🇺 (@capt_petabyte) reported

    Again, the customer service at @beourmate Mate NBN is bloody brilliant, theyre responsive & thourough. So much better than the comedy of errors that was my previous telco

    @TPG_Telecom @NBN_Australia is there an outage in North Ryde or is it just me?

  • FenrirUnchained ᛞᛖᚨᚦ (@FenrirUnchained) reported

    @NBN_Australia First it was a connection issue, which was supposedly fixed and now it’s devolved into a speed issue, with speeds down to about 1/5th normal

  • cat240359 Catriona Thoolen ⚛️ (@cat240359) reported

    @UrshCee @CUhlmann But the subs are going to take 40 years. Don't discuss NBN, mine is down again for days, in Feb it was down for 6 weeks. I think not enough was spent to make it work well. I have low voltage everything, nothing left to turn off.

  • Entiirety Entirety (@Entiirety) reported

    finally got nbn setup so no more trying to game with 0.5mbps down 🥰

  • Hani_Iskander Hani Iskander (@Hani_Iskander) reported

    @MyRepublicAU By “service provider” you mean NBN. 😩. Are other retailers of NBN experiencing the same outage?

  • Belinda07749345 Belle Èpoque - loose unit (@Belinda07749345) reported

    How did we reach a point where the most reliable utility service in Australia may actually be the NBN?
