  • 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.

    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.

    @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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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..

  • 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,

  • 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 🤦🏽😡

  • J0NSEY_ Jonsey (@J0NSEY_) reported

    @AnthonyDrmic It all really depends on the person even though it says nbn all providers do nbn but the actual provider is the one who’s meant to help with the issues and meant to have nbn workers contracted to fix problems like this

  • Shuctzz Shuctz (@Shuctzz) reported

    @JBabyGaming @Krypticxo my nbn is dog ****

  • PerfectStormo Tim Norman 2077 (@PerfectStormo) reported

    @LapTop006 @MachineLordZero Yeah the main issue I have with it is the phone lines in this building date to the 1960s and the connection from the NBN to them is a series of wires from an NBN box to a rusty old PSTN box that doesn't close properly.

  • AnthonyDrmic Anthony Drmic (@AnthonyDrmic) reported

    Can someone explain to me how NBN can just refuse to fix ongoing and known issues. Like who do I call to actually have something done.

  • 8TheCookie Matt Cook (@8TheCookie) reported

    @Telstra currently no 4g connection and my nbn is a blazing 130kbps, current outage at 4205?

  • markbookatz Mark Bookatz (@markbookatz) reported

    @NBN_Australia For months now. I am appalled by the level service by #nbn

  • superheroesmum B. (@superheroesmum) reported

    @OldCroaky @rob_mcknight @Telstra Same here! We had major NBN issues during lockdown & couldn’t speak to a real person to resolve them so we changed providers to fix it! Telstra are the worst for customer service, the auto bot hangs up on you all the time & the app closes tickets when it’s not resolved. 👎🏻

  • kestasjk Kestas "Chris" Kuliukas (@kestasjk) reported

    @mickjoebill @paulbudde Well no, (almost) no-one is suggesting it now.. Which is good. Now we know 5G is coming, SpaceX are actively launching a vastly cheaper and faster satellite network for rural regions, and that the ~2010 govt/NBN "investment" numbers were unrealistic even for a scaled back program

  • sqljohn John 🔴⚫⚽⚫🔴 (@sqljohn) reported

    @NBN_Australia Yes, done all that. Issue was we are waiting on a tech coming and the @Telstra 4g backup was then speed capped. They should know the ticket isn't closed and not cap the backup until it is, considering its being paid for

  • superheroesmum B. (@superheroesmum) reported

    @OldCroaky @rob_mcknight @Telstra Same here! We had major NBN issues during lockdown and couldn’t speak to a real person to resolve them so we changed providers to fix it! Telstra are the worst fit try to help fix a problem, the auto bot hangs up on you all the time. 👎🏻
