  • 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.

    @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

  • therealslav84 SLAV (@therealslav84) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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

  • 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.

  • jakemreid Jake Reid (@jakemreid) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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 🤦🏽😡

  • 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.

  • DimitriThisis Dimitri (@DimitriThisis) reported

    @Optus What’s the deal with a reduced service in my area for over a week now? My NBN internet has been so slow it can’t even play @netflix at full resolution and new movies look like they were made in 1980. Help.

  • bcg1976 Not for you (@bcg1976) reported

    @PODviews @PSyvret @Picketer We should do that with the NBN. It's a third rate copper network too.

  • Eremophila2 Eremophila (@Eremophila2) reported

    @phbarratt He also used his memoir to attempt to whitewash his role in some of the worst policy decisions of the LNP such as the NBN, the Home Affairs department and others. Self serving and petty. It is rare I don't finish a book but I gave up about 3/4 way through.

  • faroutsprout Lucky to live in Australia Anne (@faroutsprout) reported

    @Torkium @Telstra We had cable internet and personal phone- no problems. The change to nbn with Telstra was utterly hopeless. They were so OPAQUE and wouldn’t answer simple questions.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @AarontheEcolog Alternatively you can unplug all connections to the nbn network connection device (NCD) including power, telephone cable and Ethernet cable to the home / Wi-Fi gateway for the duration of the storm, in line with similar standard advice from other device manufacturers, 2/4

  • weezmgk Comrade Weez (@weezmgk) reported

    @iiNet we had our NBN FTTC network connection device replaced on 1 Jan. VOIP phone service has not worked since. Callers to our land line VOIP get a recording 'your call can not be connected at this time OCA 0188.' Outgoing calls get a continuous 900Hz tone.

  • AarontheEcolog Aaron Greenville (@AarontheEcolog) reported

    @NBN_Australia @b_medlyn .@NBN_Australia the problem is the nbn boxes. They are too sensitive and blow everytime we get a storm. If home we have to uplug them from the power *and* phone line. Surges are also coming via copper phone line.

  • miketoloo Mike Toloo (@miketoloo) reported

    @telstracareers is your #Telstra #nbn down?

  • jrkhnt JohnH (@jrkhnt) reported

    @themarkjacka @TurnbullMalcolm Can't understand why so many Labor voters actually like Turnbull. The bloke who keeps his millions in an off shore tax haven. Believes in trickle down economics, full privatisation of all government services. Gave us the 50 + billion $ dud NBN & the more massive sub failure.

  • LoquaciousBling President Elect Loquacious Bling (@LoquaciousBling) reported

    @Nerd_Netanel @avitalrachel @NefeshBNefesh Explain. Easy answers any moron can put together. This assumes NBN is targeting Jews from hellscapes like NYC. Most people would, I think, find a lot of this creepy. Most especially because vaccine or no vaccine Israelis are never getting their normal lives back.
