    @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

  • 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

    @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.

    @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,

    @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 🤦🏽😡

  • 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

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

    @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..

  • 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.

  • JoshRobinson_00 💙❤️💛Josh 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@JoshRobinson_00) reported from Wallaroo, State of South Australia

    @NBN_Australia surely someone can get to my house sooner than this. Considering all of my problems with you, surely you can throw me a bone here.

  • wyvernsrose Wyvernsrose (@wyvernsrose) reported

    @DianeDromgold @iiNet They literally have me blocked because for over a month they refused to admit our Internet was even down due to the local nbn works

  • challinor_dave DaveChallinor (@challinor_dave) reported

    @keshaXose @SpaceX Nbn is ****. Strayas biggest white elephant. Lol

  • Appaluza Appaluza (@Appaluza) reported

    @Optus what's the status on your DNS server pls. Our website has been down all day. We tracked the issue to your DNS server dropping domains registed with @GoDaddy I know we are not the only ones having this problem. Its not an issue with mobile just NBN

  • craig230 Craig Eaton (@craig230) reported

    @QueenDissidence @beourmate @Vick25599318 Yes same here and Mate website not working either - NBN status said all good so it’s an ISP issue

  • paullatter Paul Latter (@paullatter) reported

    @NBN_Australia - you really need to do A LOT better with outage updates and keeping RSPs informed. After 3 hours, you should know at least why there is an outage and a possible restoration time.

  • aestheticwheein veevs (@aestheticwheein) reported

    @huouer @NBN_Australia It is way too often. Regardless of external factors, this happens way too often and sounds like either the cables are poor quality or temporary and short term fixes were used. This is just not good enough for people who work from home. Premium $$$ for poor quality 😮‍💨

  • BowzaaYT Bowzaa (@BowzaaYT) reported

    Yo Australian NBN users. I need help. I use a telstra smart modem, on a telstra 50mbps download, 17mbps upload plan. I only gwt about 35mbps down, and 2-4mbps up. My connection fluctuates a lot. Our modem is halfway across the house and I am connected through Wi-fi. What can I do

  • JoshRobinson_00 💙❤️💛Josh 🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 (@JoshRobinson_00) reported from Wallaroo, State of South Australia

    My luck! I am finally able to order internet and now there is not a single NBN tech appointment until the 8th of May. You have got to be kidding me? Can this get any worse! @NBN_Australia you are the worst but thanks @DodoAustralia for FINALLY getting me started!
