    @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

    @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.

    @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,

    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..

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

    @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.

  • GT351_JONS Proud Bulldog Fan (@GT351_JONS) reported

    @Mark33450381 It's madness, Telstra & NBN blame each other and then say it's scheduled maintenance and they can see an issue, yet I get 30 plus dropouts each day across all devices.. Impossible to work or do anything else, very frustrating

  • rainynight65 AHX (@rainynight65) reported

    I am so sick of having such **** internet that I can't turn my computer on without disrupting my wife's SD videostream, and have to play whack-a-mole with the processes that are downloading, or just disconnect from the wifi. **** the people who sabotaged the NBN.

  • DevGreg3 DevGreg "The Prole" 🌏⛩🎢🎨🌈🌅🏝💉💉 (@DevGreg3) reported

    @belinda_eyers @femqu3 @katea76 I agree Labor isnt all bad they did set up the NBN but there were protests over censorship/blocking various sites. Gotta get rid of the Libs first or at least splinter them from the Nationals.

  • LearnKotch Costas (@LearnKotch) reported

    @NBN_Australia very disappointed to see a little storm has knocked out a few thousand houses and no internet for a few days. Dear @ScottMorrisonMP can you please help. #auspol #nbnfail #nothappyjan

  • AGIrwin Andrew G Irwin (@AGIrwin) reported

    @iiNet I think your internet is down in Weetangera, ACT (after storms) Any details from NBN when we can expect it to be restored?

  • IamMikeyD_6 MD (@IamMikeyD_6) reported

    @red_eyed_goat You’ll need to move out of the 00’s to fix foxtel, as for NBN… I can’t make a sarcastic comment about that. 😔

  • TassieTrainNerd TassieTrainNerd (@TassieTrainNerd) reported

    @BBL @kayosports I'd love to do that but thanks to a crap nbn I have to go old school

  • cadcow 🅲🅰🅳🅲🅾🆆 reinstate Towke in Cook (@cadcow) reported

    @JEChalmers Jim, can you create an ex-gratia amount that is the sum of Leppington, GBRF WTF, Murdoch pocket money, & all the other rorts & FUs, and assign it to repatriation of NBN & pay rise for unemployed? thanks

  • GT351_JONS Proud Bulldog Fan (@GT351_JONS) reported

    @Telstra I was told that they raised a NBN tech for 21/12/2021 @8AM . Then got message back an hour later saying that we don't need to be home for them to look at it. not sure if that means they found an issue elsewhere, hopefully they can sort it as need to tether to phone to do any work
