    @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.

    @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

    @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.

    @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,

    @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.

    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..

    @LalitaMathias @JoshFrydenberg @SkyNewsAust Airwaves cause NBN doesn't work 🤡 Gee wizz - we could even stream it live but for copper. How good would fibre be 🤦🏽😡

  • LeVoyageurOz 💧Le voyageur (@LeVoyageurOz) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

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

  • MoodsMoody Moods Moody (@MoodsMoody) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    Worst NBN plans and providers revealed in new report Biggest scam going way to much for any internet way over budget way over cost.And to have Telstra run makes even a bigger con job .. Good one Rudd you fool ..How much Rudd

  • paulwiggins Paul Wiggins 💉💉🍺 (@paulwiggins) reported

    @kiwinmelbourne NBN had an outage in city centre. Such outages are of course among the very reasons the internet first started.

  • Calligan_G Calan (@Calligan_G) reported

    @JollyWangcore Had the same issues in the past, still haven't been fixed. When it rains the internet drops in and out at random. NBN ***** are less than useless.

  • TheRewster The Thinkalorian (@TheRewster) reported

    @TugboatPhil @bayareahausfrau Our i/net hasn't been shut down. NBN is fixed lines to homes, and has outages all over Aus. Plus 4G/5G is unaffected, which is more useful for protestors so why shut down only NBN? Police are clashing w protestors, but we've never had a Ruby Ridge, Waco, or stolen presidency.

  • bittenbydesign Bitten By Design (@bittenbydesign) reported

    @lvitorovich @isobelroe @RNBreakfast Well we couldn’t opt out of the disaster that was the NBN ‘revision’ done solely to hamper online streaming for foxtel. Now that murdoch has a streaming service scomo has announced we are back to the original NBN plan... and that’s just the NBN waste!

  • paulieferrari Paulie Ferrari (@paulieferrari) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @AussieAppsro @carloslicea1 @AngloBeat Agree, when you consider how any corporates are now using nbn, yet I heard nothing from my employer about their main offices impacted by network outages. Another #freedumbrally fairytale

  • voda_utd Voda Utd (@voda_utd) reported

    @Optus hi Optus are there issues with nbn at postcode 2065? I have no internet

  • GrantZeebs Grant, burger addict, Johnson (@GrantZeebs) reported

    The whole day I haven’t had access to my internet, @NBN_Australia said it at 8am and they’re still saying the same thing at 5pm “An unplanned incident is affecting the network”

  • LuckyLaki LuckyLaki (@LuckyLaki) reported

    Are they protesting the terrible NBN in #northcote or do they just want the Kmart reopened?

  • mike_boyd Mike Boyd 🇦🇺 (@mike_boyd) reported

    @buckleup @JonnoSimpson I couldn’t help but notice that all the brands are global. I was expecting Australia’s to be Telstra or NBN or UAP.

  • GazLarking Gary Larking (@GazLarking) reported

    @7amahanti Im guessing theres some weird local cabling issue where you are @7amahanti .. yes I thought starlink was good for remote locations, otherwise NBN. I get solid 275mbps in Brisbane metro for $89/month.. its awesome ! Syd metro should be similar
