    @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

  • 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

  • MoodsMoody Moods Moody (@MoodsMoody) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    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

  • 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,

    @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

    @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.

    @LISATATTON2 @ramblingwitch Cutting what’s left of the public service really means privatisation of everything that is left of public ownership, government. Social security privatised - Indue card. Universal health and education privatised. Student debt to banks. NBN. Visa apps………#abcnews

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @ShawnD_Keller Hi there, we're sorry to hear this. In order to rebook a new appointment, please liaise with your service provider directly. Where needed, they will work with our nbn support team and provide updates. Thanks, Sarah

  • gerson008 Johnson Lai (@gerson008) reported

    @domnixon1984 @Internode @nbn Since Internode was sold by Simon Hackett many many moons ago. I no longer associates with them. Anyway, has your issues solved?

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @omwamiKing Hey Onwami. I'm really sorry to hear about the current NBN fault that is affecting your service. If you can send us a DM, we can then look to assist and follow up on this situation further from there. Kyri

  • nicn67 Nic (@nicn67) reported

    Let’s talk about the economic managers, as Josh refers to himself as. Good economics by spending more than the initial plans for the NBN despite sort of delivering a sub standard network. Then the billions wasted on converting submarines to diesel then to cancel altogether.

  • awelder Andrew Elder (@awelder) reported

    @Kimbo_Ramplin @NewtonMark I would have said the same about Abbott in 2010. The reason why he didn't meet independent requirements on NBN, climate etc is because he was beholden to more powerful interests, and I think Morrison is in the same position now. They would back ALP because of those three issues

  • james_l_hall James Hall (@james_l_hall) reported

    I will never forgive this government for ******* up the NBN. My already modest upload speed is now halved due to rising costs. This isn't how either technology or infrastructure should work. It is however, how ****** businesses work.

  • Cambo9 Craig Campbell (@Cambo9) reported

    On a (attempted) message chat with @Optus about fluctuating NBN outages. But no one is on this service either. Force you onto the app and Customer service out, NBN out - what else is going wrong with Optus? #fail #internetfail #frustrated

  • Marto_65 🥈 The Marto Institute (@Marto_65) reported

    @CPontificates @AlboMP @JuliaGillard Unfunded NBN didn’t help either.

  • domnixon1984 Dominic (@domnixon1984) reported

    I've had atleast 20 NBN technicians visit our house. Sometimes they turn up unannounced and unexpected. Sometimes they say they're coming and never turn up. Everytime they come, they tell me there is fault in the line and it needs to be fixed. They say they've fixed it...
