  • Granville4879 Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @roastthekipfler @AusIndiMedia My NBN service over the last 3 or 4 days has been very poor. I did try G4 a while back but that wasn't very consistent either. I am waiting for the arrival of G5 in my area in the hope that may actually work as advertised.

    @jonesy2794 @TwitterSupport I feel lucky as a restart of the phone seems to have fixed it for now. Or I could just blame NBN as I have also gone to the mobile network.

    And right on cue my NBN goes down. That should be a huge election issue. #QandA

    @TurnbullMalcolm @rhysam I have to assume you are speaking out of ignorance of technology. PSTN is cat 3 copper with a theoretical maximum of 10 Mbps. And voice calls over my NBN connection are such poor quality we mostly cannot understand the majority.

    @HansOrph @deccles26 @NBN_Australia @Foxtel NBN outages is one of the reasons I selected @VodafoneAU for my NBN provider. 4G backup kicks in automatically if the network falls over. Worth considering changing to them if you need/want seamless internet

  • therealslav84 SLAV (@therealslav84) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @Halit95429397 @Foxtel I was a customer for over 15 years. After 15 years due to my travel forgot to pay my account I was 1 day late. No empathy no care and would not drop the late fee. So I cancelled. That was full Platinum IQ4, with 4 boxes and nbn. Their reply.... we dont care,

  • KanakoTheRisu Kanako The Squirrel (@KanakoTheRisu) reported

    @NBN_Australia Unless the issue is fixed in roughly ninety minutes the plans are scrapped

  • kodiegraham Kodie Graham (@kodiegraham) reported

    @NBN_Australia Jo, you're doing exactly what the service provider got as a reply about the ticket from @NBN_Australia. Lip service doesn't fix a problem, neither does ignoring it. The town is sub 600 people... congestion is not a problem and your good will won't help the problem either.

  • LoquaciousBling Loquacious Bling (@LoquaciousBling) reported

    @AngryLevantine Nope. Sadly NbN’s private funding has mostly dried up. They always had big issues and were never any match for the power of the @JewishAgency to stymie Aliyah, but still.

  • darrenoakey darrenoakey (@darrenoakey) reported

    Pretty pissed off with #tangerinetelecom - my card was reissued over the payment window - I updated it on the site, but not only didn't they try again (wtf!?) - but I got called _5 days_ later saying a) I need to pay over the phone and b) theres a late fee. any1 know a good nbn?

  • TatteredRemnant Tattered Remnant (@TatteredRemnant) reported

    @NBN_Australia Hello. Thanks for response. Apparently, NBN FFTC does not support the use of mesh modems like Google Nest. Apparently, VLAN is the technical limitation. It’s very frustrating.

  • ANZinAsia Nathan Walker (@ANZinAsia) reported

    @Telstra our neighbour needs your help. Her Telstra NBN internet has been down for over 1 1/2 weeks and her children cannot do their school homework. The Telstra technician has not shown up for the scheduled appointment 3 times now! Incredible. Please help her ASAP.

  • Robyn19859383 quepasa (@Robyn19859383) reported

    @SamGrothTennis @NBN_Australia RUN!!! If you ever have a problem with Optus home internet it’s a nightmare trying to actually speak to a human!! All calls go to Indian and staff are useless!! Truely terrible service!!!

  • Peterfilmphoto Peter (@Peterfilmphoto) reported

    @Telstra #NBN EXTREMELY poor reliability over the last few days in south west Brisbane - people need to work from home here, what’s doing?!

  • SWLangdon Stuart Langdon (@SWLangdon) reported
