    @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.

    @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.

  • KateHamilton88 Kate Cunningham (@KateHamilton88) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    Let me guess @Telstra you want me to call your incompetent staff again... HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM NOW!!!! 2000236045330 otherwise I'm taking my 2 mobiles (BYO), NBN and foxtel to another provider..

    @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

  • OldCynicalSad 🌸 OldCynicalSad 🌸 (@OldCynicalSad) reported

    @Frank61pc @WhistleOut_AU I can get Telstra signal, but speeds of 0.02 Mbps every evening after 5pm til after midnight. It was just adequate til Christmas, then it just died. The technician said it's working fine. Offered me NBN lol when Telstra doesn't sell Sky Muster.

  • D_Who ✇ ⒹⒶⓋⒺ Ⓗ ✇ (@D_Who) reported

    Last Friday there were workers in the @NBN_Australia pit up the street. Since then we’ve had no internet. Our provider says ‘not our problem’ and has referred it to ‘the wholesaler’ to investigate “which may take up to 5 business days”. 1/2

  • aeberbach Adam Eberbach (@aeberbach) reported

    @randomcodingdud @overjeer @NBN_Australia Scheduling during business hours at all is the issue. Not OK.

  • randomcodingdud Wonkers (@randomcodingdud) reported

    @aeberbach @overjeer Yeah, nah. i know it's easy to **** on nbn. They're the worst client I've had the displeasure to have worked with. But it's always been like this for any infrastructure. Telecommunication including Telstra/optus,water, roads etc Alot does get done after hours, but most does not.

  • janinesymons 💉💉💉💉 (@janinesymons) reported

    when did the nbn start charging to come and fix their equipment???

  • janinesymons 💉💉💉💉 (@janinesymons) reported

    @galumay i’ve been advised by my provider that nbn will charge. as this has not happened previously i am surprised at advice. i have fttc, and apparently the ‘gpu is down’. tbh, don’t know what that means except it’s not on my property.

  • CasFarmerCD Tom Carmody (@CasFarmerCD) reported

    @tofar1 @BrettoSouth @carmo47 has nbn and starlink, no mobile signal, and very little lag most of the time, even through his repeater network.

  • jascony_ Jascony (@jascony_) reported

    @SirMeowMusic See if you can swap out the cable between the modem and the wall, dropouts and then failure to find an upstream is generally an issue of poor connectivity. If you have an NTD/ NBN box try resetting that. When power-cycling turns all devices off then boot then sequentially.

  • Fastnet_Today Andy (@Fastnet_Today) reported

    @crikey_news Your nbn is letting you down. Audio keeps cutting out.

  • dix0nm8 Dixon (@dix0nm8) reported

    @FangettaPlays NBN can be a lottery so not guarantee that switch will resolve your issue but it might get you better support. The beauty of NBN is you can switch providers and have the change go through within half an hour (don't do it while gaming/streaming cos it'll disconnect you!). (2/2)
