  @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.

  @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,

  @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

  @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.

  @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.

  Black friends I served with in the military told me to watch out for *******. Being from Idaho I said it was a derogatory term for them wasn’t it? No, ******* are violent, irresponsible, parasites causing all the problems, stay away from them. One of them, Levi, always said NBN, ******* be ******* when there was trouble. I just listed to a couple of black females just as tired as the rest of us but threatening to orhanize against them.

  @ajamesbragg Do the NBN. $40B down, uni-party responsible. Perhaps the NDIS. Covid largesse 🤪

  @Richard01357064 If only the deposed LNP Crime Org had not nobbled Labors' worlds best, full Fibre NBN (with iron age copper), you'd know that the LNP Crime Orgs' decade of debt & devastation, was over 4 yrs ago. The war is long over soldier. By the way, the Beetles have broken up too.👋🙏

  @Hector_Herrick @Antiwoke7777 @OMGTheMess We had problems with our fibre-to-the curb NBN. their tech discovered that our old copper line was still connected to the exchange, and that was interfering with the copper line from the fibre to the house. Disconnected the old exchange line, and all was well.

  @BanderaBeau @BikoKonstantin1 @AlboMP It doesn’t work because each government is interested in keeping power that the next government wouldn’t implement the next step. Massive changes like this can only get over the line if the solution is obvious & unanimous. Even then one single government can **** things up eg NBN

  @theinfradev @ruicharadrius I'm not revising history. The plan was fttp everywhere, with Telstra and optus copper being bought out to move them to the NBN. The copper was never going to be used for the NBN. Look at the Telstra definitive agreements from 2011.

  @suzanne2222 Another LNP disaster just like the NBN has cost Aussies billions to fix

  All this talk about personal computing dying and what not, I (Steve) decided to try GeForceNOW (Australia) Ultimate using Wireless NBN, Starlink and 5G. My review is this: It's really bad, f@&ing sucks. Thank you for your time.

  @news_australian Stick it where it fits Malcolm, and your NBN plan for Australia is a piece of crap.
