    @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

    @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.

    @NBN_Australia @bananabenana “Hey Ben, set a timer for 5 months and check that website, yeah?” Looks like I’m pretty well cut out for this PR bizzo too!

  • ShezBisShezB SB (@ShezBisShezB) reported

    @NBN_Australia It's still not working

  • vivianm44813133 vivian munoz (@vivianm44813133) reported

    @Optus Yes, and I replied as I can’t get the Optus store people to serve me to cancel NBN. This was even before the Christmas rush.

  • WatsonsTroops1 WatsonsTroops (@WatsonsTroops1) reported

    @prestontowers @raxecarical @woopdedoo652 I tend to fine she reads just enough into a subject to think she understands it. But in reality she doesn't really. I could pick it up with some of her comments about the nbn. When the RC went down she blamed the LNP for going the cheap nbn not the original

  • HV1nyl HipH0pV1nyl (@HV1nyl) reported

    @TurnbullMalcolm Wtf are you talking about @TurnbullMalcolm you are one of the key people responsible for BUTCHERING the NBN so this muppet wouldn't lose too much revenue with his precious FOXTEL. Pick a side and stick to it.

  • mitchnicholls Mitch Nicholls (@mitchnicholls) reported

    @BoganFit @dangerelis So basically your Telstra modem has switched to it’s built in 4G connection. This has a limit of a couple of hundred MB of traffic, which you go through quickly. Then you get this message. Either your NBN connection is down, or there is an issue with the modem.

  • Chirp19OCE chirp/everything android 🤖🐤 (@Chirp19OCE) reported

    @NBN_Australia I hope U understand that lowering upload on fixed wireless was one of the stupidest moves I've seen U do. U have the equipment to improve this fixed wireless infrastructure but U seem to not care even if U put a 800million upgrade to fix issues on the towers #nbn

  • ryIandstormss isa (@ryIandstormss) reported

    are rawr xd club and nbn the only people i can trust to not be stupid lol wtf

  • kev_metcalfe Kev Metcalfe (@kev_metcalfe) reported

    @catedempsey Stop burning Labs, take an interest in their childs education - poor doesn't have to mean useless, plenty of poor people have educated children. As an aside, literally none of Australia is outside internet coverage, even Macquarie Island has a dedicated NBN Sat beam.

  • sortius sortius (@sortius) reported

    @MagzGTV @NBN_Australia Sorry dude, but the Libs ****** fixed wireless. They removed the upgrade paths for the bearer network, so each tower is running off 100Mbps microwave links, possibly sharing it with a number of towers, each with 64 services
