    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..

  • 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.

    @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

    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

    @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.

    And right on cue my NBN goes down. That should be a huge election issue. #QandA

  • O_Mega_One MegatonneHammer (@O_Mega_One) reported

    @rissyjaytwitch @MedwingSong I seem to get a hell of a lot of matches with Japan. It's like there no geo filtering or something going on. If the connections where stable I wouldn't really give a damn. Fighting Aussie nbn AND international connection is to much though

  • Hunter_RileyG Riley 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 🇦🇺 (@Hunter_RileyG) reported

    @stinhambo @Lightni12092685 Again, you make a reasonably good point but your assessments are subjective. For example I don’t think the NBN was needed and was just a huge waste of money. NDIS is overall a good thing but I don’t know enough to comment. You’re ignoring completely **** decisions like carbon tax

  • yourmatesteve_ Steve (@yourmatesteve_) reported

    What's with the latency/ stuttering since the new #Battlefield2042 update I'm literally playing with 6G low latency Starlink to the premises connection NBN and I'm still having a bad time because it crashed Fix ya **** @Battlefield

  • wiseguy_ocb hank ronson (@wiseguy_ocb) reported

    @fairgo_yu Turnbull is the 2nd worst HE ****** THE NBN

  • KingKlyde69 Jason King (@KingKlyde69) reported

    @Telstra is it normal to be waiting since the 18/4 to have a speed booster added to my nbn service. Everyone I chat to someone they apologise and say it’s been escalated and it will be fixed. 5 weeks later nothing

  • djpain Alex Painchilewords 🇨🇱 (@djpain) reported

    @infamous_Bruno Honestly it's been a big issue for years. The nbn was originally designed to fix issues like this but they're still working on it.

  • MiniTortie Devine Missy S (@MiniTortie) reported

    @noplaceforsheep AEC website is saying +2.88% and LNP -2.88% to ALP and overall predicting they’ll have more seats than Coalition. So ABC is lagging badly. Can’t get onto Guardian tally it’s just too slow. NBN sucks here

  • itstoneee Tone Deff (@itstoneee) reported

    It's Saturday. @optus NBN is down again. From 9am and now it's 2pm. How do I know what's happening in the election!

  • Wen_iac Wendy Iacono (@Wen_iac) reported

    @MoarToast May I pls ask if I can have some of it to give to the man from “telstra”? He told me I have something wrong with my nbn. He might fix it, whaddya reckon?

    @Christi48604562 @AlboMP Clearly you don’t like Medicare Superannuation NBN NDIS You know services for Australians. You support money for Murdoch and Gina Rhineheart and Gerry Harvey.
