    @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.

    @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.

    @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..

  • 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

  • Buttaba01Bell David Bell (@Buttaba01Bell) reported

    @AmyRemeikis I have NBN FTTN & 1Km of **** copper too. I cant’t work from home between 9:30am & 3pm as neighbours are streaming videos. I’ve complained to local MP & changed providers 3 times. Its hopeless. We’ve been sold an NBN dud. This is important infrastructure not a luxury…

  • alexanderdanilo Alex Danilo (@alexanderdanilo) reported

    My @NBNCo connection has been going up/down every 5 mins the last 2 days, downstream router issue probably. 1 hr, 10min chat to @Optus rep, I asked 3 times to book NBN tech, then they ask "where can you see the modem has no DNS?". I ask "Do you know what DNS is?" Silence. Ugh!

  • codemon70572100 codemonkey (@codemon70572100) reported

    @AmyRemeikis @NBN_Australia Hi nbn, can someone help Amy with her connection?

  • StarofS DanStar 💫 (@StarofS) reported

    @AmyRemeikis We are FTTC NBN since Sep/Oct last year and have had great internet BUT only after adding a Google Nest setup to boost signal around the house, UNTIL the last month or so. Intermittent dropping out, slow speed, on & off. So annoying esp when we know it can work.

  • LJPatton Laurie Patton is The Lucky General (@LJPatton) reported

    @Steve_Dalby @joshgnosis To be fair, @PaulFletcherMP inherited a basket case #NBN from his predecessors. At least he has conceded that the copper network is a joke and allocated (not enough) money to begin the repair work.

  • MeLove88535691 Me Love (@MeLove88535691) reported

    @_Bradley_K @AmyRemeikis Tony and Malcolm did the launch at a fox sports studio. Think the motivation for the policy of a cut down NBN would allow Foxtel to be competitive, payment for favourable press coverage me thinks!

  • Rugmatix Merciless Me (@Rugmatix) reported

    @AmyRemeikis What’s the issue with your connection? Just slow, or dropouts? NBN have an SLA of < 5 dropouts per 24hr period. If you are dropping out regularly they will move mountains to fix it, but you have to complain to your ISP. Pro tip: they can’t tell what causes a dropout.

  • pontifax55 stephen casey (@pontifax55) reported

    @AmyRemeikis Proximity to the node is more the issue. If you are 1000m from the node then you're in trouble. If you can get a good 4G signal that may be your best option. What was done to the full fibre NBN was a disgrace! More expensive for a really poor solution.

  • Camelli79450301 Camellia (@Camelli79450301) reported

    @AmyRemeikis I live in regional Victoria. We have a Telstra tower but it has been conjested for 2 years. We ended up getting the landline reinstalled and going over to Skymuster. NBN couldn't help us and Telstra wouldn't help us.

  • chris_no1ofem 💧💉💉Chris B84💉 🇺🇦 (@chris_no1ofem) reported

    @AmyRemeikis We had NBN, fttb, with copper to our unit. Blew out in storm lightning hits 2 years running. Now on Optus 5G Home Internet. Never looked back.
