  • 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.

    @iiNet Oh and btw, when asked for a new modem with 4G back up default if NBN line drops out, we were told 'No' ! Apparently only available to new customers. Apparently not available to us, (20year customers) whose internet connection inexplicably down. A ready solution n/a.

  • PatB90739861 PatB (@PatB90739861) reported

    @VacuousNess @iiNet @NBN_Australia 15.7 Mbps down. 2.8 Mbps up. 4G wireless connection at my shop in far outer Metro Perth. If I remember, when I get home, I'll test my home NBN (FTTN, then crappy old copper for the last few hundred m) connection.

  • ianbfarquhar Ian Farquhar (@ianbfarquhar) reported

    Fellow Oz Starlinkers: have you been having issues in the last couple of weeks, like 30-60 sec drop-outs? They've been chronic with me, disrupting Zoom sessions, and I failed back to NBN to just finish meetings. Anyone else seeing this? @SpaceX - any thoughts?

  • SlayerofMemes Slayer of Memes (@SlayerofMemes) reported

    Internet and Foxtel (NBN) connections off-line NBNCo says "no issues here, ring your service provider" Service Provider (iinet) says "no issue here it must be at NBN end, ring them" NBNCo say "no issues here, ring your service provider" *and the merry-go-round begins* 🤬🤬

  • Anthony_Caruana Anthony Caruana (@Anthony_Caruana) reported

  • NathanaelB Nathanael Coyne (Nat) 💉💉💉 (@NathanaelB) reported

    @stevage1 @iiNet I did spot an NBN van 50 metres down the road this afternoon, wonder what they're doing.

    @shaunmicallef From the party who pride themselves on tearing down Medicare, the NDIS, the ABC, penalty rates, NBN, any semblance of integrity….. #CallTheElectionDickhead

  • CrunchCranberry Rev. Diablo Insano (@CrunchCranberry) reported

    @abcnews And for the 3rd time in a fortnight, no electricity. Guessing our power network is on par in quality with our NBN.
