NBN Outage in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane, State of Queensland

Ah the #NBN aka National Bumpkin Network ... they didn’t disappoint. Trying to get the NBN connected is every bit the hell I expected it to be. Delivering fast and reliable #internet is not something Australia can get right.

What a stupid country we are! The LNP took Rudd’s future-focussed NBN and turned it into two tin cans joined with copper and string. Now a third world 19th century network with snail mail speed. And the voters accepted this rubbish because they didn’t like Shorten! Fools!!

NBN on the cheap and submarines that can't go underwater. WTF.

@zyzzyvamedia @Optus Been with @Internode on NBN for two years, never down, always fast. I guess it is some ISP and some location.

@geoffrey_payne Yes, it isn't bad for business grade fibre. At home I have NBN FTTP, and the 50Mbps speed. Usually works well. Should be targeting 1Gbps for fibre, though!

@NBN_Australia It appears that there’s ”an outage” affecting ”an area” and I’m in the affected area. I’ll get an sms when it’s back in service. I hope it’s not too late because I want to send two laptops through Windows updates before hitting the road in the morning. Not practical over 4G.

PHAARRRRQUE! NBN has been down for hours! And it’s effectively the last couple of banking hours before EOFY! Hot-spotting off the phone it is then.

Still much furniture to be arranged/assembled, and we realised the bed was broken in the move so waiting for new parts from Ikea on the weekend, but we have an NBN connection now so it's all looking pretty good.

@Telstra Is there a problem or known wider outage #NBN or #Internet Our Internet runs "Your Broadband service is working in backup mode" with 4mbs download.... #Daisy #Hill 4127

The Morrison government reminds me of the NBN.. Waste of billions and billions of dollars and almost impossible to fix.. we need another election urgently and we should keep having elections until we get it right #auspol #Labor 🤔😉

@NBN_Australia It turned out to be an NBN fault further up the road and took a few hours to fix. Rearranged the day schedule around it.

@PaulFletcherMP Fix the NBN !!!!

@GoldCoastNurse @QLDLabor @AnnastaciaMP @jackietrad @WgarNews @Biggy1883 @virgotweet @OneLoneVoice4 Even though I am not an LNP voter, when Turnbull was elected I really thought, hoped we would embrace new technologies, grasp the opportunities with renewables, and fix the NBN. Sadly that didn't happen. #auspol

@JamesPinnell I never plugged mine in, it only ever had telemarketers, and now I’m on NBN, I’d need to buy a compatible handset, just to get called by telemarketers.

@bongrrjr @NBN_Australia Frustrating is only half of it. From what I hear from locals in our area who already have it. They are not to happy either. With the amount of problems they have with the net. We might be better off without it.

@NBN_Australia After years of delays my street was scheduled for March. I've never had Foxtel so mine got moved out to May, and then tonight whilst contractors are doing nightwork it moves out another year. I'm looking for an actual answer please.

@alexbhturnbull The NBN is sad rubbish unless you got it as FTTP but the fast rail is a great idea and I'd love to see it go ahead. Rail travel fast or slow is my first choice. The Southern Aurora was the way I always travelled from Syd/Mel/Syd .Should never have stopped it.

.@JakeSchoermer lists key issues as climate change, transparency, NBN. Highlights zipline as a big @QldGreens @mcberkman win. No mention of housing affordability policy - although I'm going to guess most of the Ryan candidates' forum audience owns homes. #auspol

I am one of 940 volunteers out of more than 25 million Australians who have a white box monitoring my nbn connection speeds 24/7 I have FTTN despite the fact there is a NBN cable running on my street 3-5 metres away from my curb Speeds are too slow #auspol #nbnfail @acccgovau

Thx .@TPCandidate Over past 11 months all those issues have come up + long term investment in infrastructure (fix roads & #nbn), #FederalICAC now #ClimateActionNow #StopAdani That’s why we’re urging voters to send Major Parties a Major MSG & #VoteGreensFirst✅🗳 #DicksonVotes

@NBN_Australia Oh I have been and the dates keeps changing. Its funny how they have NBN around 100m down the road from me yet we are still waiting. #nbnfail

Stressed out today. Going onto the dreaded NBN HFC. Heard nothing but bad things about the Arcadyan Modem from Telstra. Especially how its causing all sorts of issues with Xbox.

NBN have confirmed an appointment for Monday afternoon to fix my nbn activation issue. I guess we should go out this weekend...

@Optus No it’s not. I’m demonstrating the difference between your previous cable service and nbn FttN

@YaThinkN @ScrawnyRooster Probably the crap nbn service. Why else would you buy an actual paper.

@abc730 @geoff__thompson The LNP have butchered the NBN and they continue to avoid recognising or supporting the videogame industry as part of the country's vibrant screen industry mix. If only we used coal I'm sure we'd have their unwavering support and tax breaks aplenty.

@abc730 @geoff__thompson 10 years into the NBN's life and right now the reason I can't get it is because unlike my neighbours I never gave Murdoch any money by subscribing to Foxtel. It's ludicrous.

You lost your job security..You lost your penalty rates. paying more for health..more for energy bills no pay rises ..Awful NBN..but you're not voting labor because they would like to encourage you to buy #ElectricVehicles in 2030 . Folks are dumb where I come from 😳 #auspol

@xaaronh Just want some government to fix the NBN.

@Telstra have throttled our backup 4G internet, which we have been using while we wait 4 months to get NBN installed... We can barely use the internet - can’t even FaceTime with loved ones 😞. Fortunately I have an open complaint with the ombudsman. Disgraceful. Cc @ACCAN_AU

@MikeCarlton01 @smh Yes he did , what a disaster the last 5 / 6 yrs have been for Australia the NBN #NZ 20 time s faster , Energy , Mad right destroyed it , bjut poor Malcolm continued to suck up to these destroyers , he was the only thing left , so they put him out of his misery

@Internode Wireless signal strong. No internet. Reboot no good. NBN to node not premises. Same as last time. NBN fail. Spare me. Trying to work!!

@LetsBelong 2. Then I requested to change the ADSL plan to NBN (who wudn’t want better). I was advised it will take 10 more days. But finalised to lock down the day 4 installation, tomorrow.

@TurnbullMalcolm @TonyAbbottMHR please help Hutchy you cheapened it.... making it more expensive ffs. #auspol #NBN

Pay the rent. #treatyNow how can we sleep when our beds are burning. Roll out high tech holographic distance education. “Help me obi wan kenobi, you’re my only hope “ #nbn cc: @Steve_Pinel

@MSMWatchdog2013 @rupertmurdoch Murdock. Tax Bludger, & parasite. Every developed nation on earth is Embracing FTTP technology, This clown is the reason our, NBN is crap, he told the gullible we Need Tony ! This is the guy responsible for hacking phones to get dirt on people to feed his sleazy media

What's the 3 main issues with you in the fed election @AustralianLabor @billshortenmp #auspol I can't believe how stuffed up the NBN is *disgraceful The media not fact checking when highlighting Morrison's 3 word slogans And how expensive health is now unbelievable

Nevermind. Working now. Oh and I also found the email you sent advising me of this outage. Oops. Thanks team. Couldn't be happier with my #NBN

@kwingerei @Kynes3 @cheryl_kernot @deniseshrivell Delays are good I am happy with the ordinary service we get now, everyone I hear gets the crap #NBN has problems with the rubbish modems and slow replacement service, not looking forward to more confusion and time wasting

@NBN_Australia Thanks. Can't be a easy job. Just frustrating when they have it down the road. We still have to wait.

@brisbanetimes It's a real pain when new developments just less then 200 metres down the road have had NBN for nearly 2 years and we are still waiting

@karenandrewsmp .. maybe just look up Coalition destruction of NBN and the opportunities killed of by your poor management and policy and lugging Aus with extra debt! #FailedGovt #NBNDebacle #GovtFail Money lost from Schools and Health #Science #News

And the bad news...the problem is with the @NBN_Australia signal and they’ll have to fix it. Oh crap. I can feel an unmitigated nightmare coming on.

@jaquix173 @TurnbullMalcolm @MrsDzTB @HardieGrant Yea I'll bet the NBN wont be in his shit book,and if it is it will be a bullshit story for sure!

@lynlinking Voters after the six years of constant bullshit flowing from the Gov. The Scare campaigns, the Broken Promises, The Corporate rorting, The NBN stuff up, The massive rise in the national debt under this Gov. Now unfailingly recognise bullshit in all its powdered and perfumed forms

@mukabout @SarahRubyWrites Pity we never got a decent NBN. You could have accessed so much more detail. In fact it could have been the vital factor in decentralisation.

@NBN_Australia Wonders never cease to amaze me. 5 of my neighbours are connected to the NBN. All connected to the same hub as i am, yet i cant get NBN. My Rollout Date is January 2019. Better Hurry only 2 days left in the month. Wonder how many more months it will be pushed back.

I went to the shops today to get info on NBN plans. Spoke with @Telstra , @Optus , @VodafoneAU and @DodoAustralia . One decision was made - I will never give 1c to @DodoAustralia . Rude, condescending and made me feel I was wasting their time asking questions.

It’s climate change where he was the great white hope and let us down so badly. 😢😢

Lucky a lot of areas are moving into expanded drought conditions Malcolm because FTTN in our area tends to go down every time it rains because the crappy boxes fill with water. Technicians seem to be allocated full-time to repairs which is a great way to spend money on the NBN.

@Bukumbooee Fake Bills, fake Boards, fake NBN, fake GBRF, fake security bodies, fake commissions...and the list is never-ending! Adds up to one FAKE Government!

@jmil400 @judyvw2 Me neither. Scumo can go **** himself!!! My NBN is rubbish. Conks out at least twice a day. I often do better switching to my phone's 4g. Constant outages of NBN. Everyone has the same problem. Thanks Abbott & Turnbull for ******* it up cause Murdoch told u to!

Thanks #LNP for guaranteeing a lower standard of living due to your #NBN bastardry. Barely able to stream video. It needs replacement now. $90billion wasted. #LNPfail #auspol never forgive never forget

@Telstra I have just changed an NBN plan from limited to unlimited via phone and telstra guy Michael took 25 MINUTES to read a contract out over the phone!! I’ve been a customer for 25 years ... INSANITY!!! 25 minutes to read a contract!!! INSANITY #telstra #nbn

@MyArgue @davrosz @independentaus While the ‘tax’ may be the final straw for some so migrating to 5G, this technology can never cope with hundreds of thousands of users in capital & major regional cities. Available bandwidth would be choked by all the users. So not viable for NBN. At least the NBN got this right.

@abcnews And we have the worst communications system in the modern world. The NBN is useless, It fails and there's no phone,The Mobile Phone reception is crap,and so is the TV reception in regional Australia.

@AaronDodd @independentaus Only an idiot would blame Netflix! Might as well blame Stan, Prime or every Free to Air station that offer streaming! OFC it's the Government's fault they stuffed the NBN, pretty simple!

@BreakfastNews @geoffrey_payne The ‘nations ministers’ don’t know their arses from their elbows. Australia is going down the gurgler fast. Buildings uninhabitable, NBN not fit for purpose & a fawning media who won’t report the facts.

Was put on wireless last December had one mbps at 1am. Never mind using it at peak times. Late Jan Telco provider asked if happy to go back to ADSL as they recognised the inadequacy of the NBN service! All MPs need to turn off their Optic fibre & connect to a wireless service!

@dobes I saw your story on HFC pulling Close to 1gb. In Geelong iiNet are using HFC off the NBN grid and users mostly pull 200mb +. I ran a speed test while writing this. I got 255/43 over wifi. I will never understand why they capped it at 100mb
