    @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.

    @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

    @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

  • 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

    @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.

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheNessness Vanessa Butty (@TheNessness) reported

    Trying to figure out how @Telstra omitted to direct debit my NBN bill for 6 months and now expect me to pay $500 in one month after a mistake that wasn't mine. Got a text stating they will cut my service. Should have stayed with Optus, never happened with them.

  • galumay Ricky🏄🏼‍♂️ (@galumay) reported

    @CapitalLutra @Telstra It will be interesting to see the impact on market share in NBN, because its so easy to sign up to better ISP's & you can have more than 1 concurrent service, I suspect a lot of churn and cancel payments to $TLS. Anyone out of contract can do this. Missed a lot of new NBN too.

  • jendudley Jen Dudley-Nicholson (@jendudley) reported

    The halt on new NBN connections over HFC is largely due to circumstances beyond NBN's control -- a global hardware shortage -- but this situation could and *should* have been managed a lot better. Currently, people caught out are being given few options and little help.

  • warwickpauld Ancient IT Geek 😢 (@warwickpauld) reported

    @MRowlandMP Don’t worry @ScottMorrisonMP has a plan to fix the NBN! He is going to sell it, and watch the connection costs skyrocket #auspol

  • sasambam sambee bamblebee 🐝 (@sasambam) reported

    @hexsteph Lol my family tried to connect to nbn last year. The dude came out and said "we need to put in a trouble ticket, your area isn't ready it's a big deal n ****" then months later we get billed for a phantom nbn connection we never recieved.

  • DEZYSMITH77 Uncommon Sense (@DEZYSMITH77) reported

    @hexsteph @NBN_Australia Your Telco picks up the costs of your complaint...incentive enough for them to resolve ASAP.

  • DelurilTV Deluril (@DelurilTV) reported

    @hexsteph @NBN_Australia Can the Telecoms Ombudsman help in some way?

  • RhinoSaunders Ryno (@RhinoSaunders) reported

    @hexsteph @NBN_Australia Geelong has cable internet and its extremely fast (for Australian standard). We get 100+ down and 40~ up

  • MertErkul17 Mert Erkul (@MertErkul17) reported

    Where I’ve been living in Australia, the NBN network is bloated and poorly run, big telecom will scramble to save their customer base when cheap and reliable access is available via satellites.

  • freshtonic James Sadler (@freshtonic) reported

    Awesome. @NBN_Australia has scheduled an outage in my area for an entire business day. Why can’t this maintenance be done at night? People are working from home.
