    @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,

    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

  • 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

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

    @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.

  • 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.

    @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.

    @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

    So not streaming again 😕 nbn is looking in to my problem, hope to be back to normal next week -,.,-

  • mandy_jolly Mandy J (@mandy_jolly) reported

    @NBN_Australia Did you get the incident number? Or are you going to stuff me around with Telstra AGAIN???

  • civilengineer civilengineer (@civilengineer) reported

    I was doing a Morgan poll a few minutes back, 10 minutes into a 30 minute session, via an NBN "fixed wireless" connection. It dropped out. This happens very often. If they were interested in telecommunications it would have been unprintable. Wireless congestion or NBN? Terrible.

  • XinlinLi6 Xinlin Li (@XinlinLi6) reported

    @BelongAU Hi I have figured out the problem which is about the wrong address registered for the service, and this is a really simple problem. I have told the staff when they call me but they just don’t change it. The nbn technician who came today still had the wrong address.

  • mipearson Michael Pearson (@mipearson) reported

    @frconil Yep, that was a big motivator for me going ABB for NBN. Not the cheapest but every time there’s been problems they’ve been excellent. When I cancelled my Internode, the tech went “wow; that’s a short account number”. I think I’d been a customer since he was in primary school ;)

  • Tesla_Mif Tesla_Mif (@Tesla_Mif) reported

    @AlboMP @AlboMP We should make it cheaper for all to have @NBN_Australia fibre directly inside every home and business and allow plans for a minimum 1GBps to be cheaper for all, if not heavily subsidised. Provide support to have it installed and Ethernet cabled through their homes.

  • Zwickyhumason1 zwicky humason (@Zwickyhumason1) reported

    @BecWrong Sorry to hear Ms. Q.K. At least you now know where the hidden connection is? - NBN consultant. Sorry! It’s a ****. 😡

  • ssb_Iroh Orangutan man (@ssb_Iroh) reported

    @BlizzySSB Yeah if you're still on ADSL it'll always be **** If you're NBN, should definitely be at least 20 But if less than 20mbps download is standard for you, you should call them and see if you can upgrade plan, organise a technician to investigate, or at the very least get a discount

  • kristoforlawson Kristofor Lawson (@kristoforlawson) reported

    @decryption I’m absolutely going to get Starlink if I move out to Kyneton and find I have terrible nbn.

  • _daemons _daemons (@_daemons) reported

    @decryption NBN like to blame their own customers for everything wrong with the service. They're an embarrassment.
