  • 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,

    @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.

  • 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.

    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

    @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.

    @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 🤦🏽😡

  • dgr_dgr Daniel Rose (@dgr_dgr) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    @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

  • 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

  • JohnLutge John Lutge (@JohnLutge) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Hi @Telstra. My internet has been down for 3 weeks. The @NBN tech was a no show for the first appointment. Just had an SMS scheduling another appt for tomorrow. The @Telstra faults operater in Australia just hung up on me. If I ran my med practice that way, I would be in jail.

  • zLukso Lukso DNY (@zLukso) reported

    @BlancheyTV @NBN_Australia fix your ****

  • jentaiisart jen (@jentaiisart) reported

    Truly I have never experienced as bad customer service and plain incompetence as I have with @BelongAU and @NBN_Australia. Honestly incomprehensibly bad. We have had NBN internet through Belong for 2 years and then one day they just turn it off through no fault of our own.

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @Borgus17 rectify speed issues or advise your nbn connection has been ‘hacked’ or is not secure. Unless you have spoken specifically to your service provider recently regarding any speed or performance-related issues you shouldn't be receiving these calls. 2/3

  • Field_1995 Brandon Field (@Field_1995) reported

    @Optus @NBN_Australia why is my internet not working? There are no outages listed on the website anywhere!

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @radiusfn Sorry to hear about your internet speed issue. Can you please send us a direct message to confirm which internet service is this in regards to, I mean 4G home internet, 5G home internet or NBN home internet? Kartik

  • normal_ness Vanessa Smith (@normal_ness) reported

    @zoeyherself @NBN_Australia @TPG_Telecom I hate third party crap where they all blame each other and pass the cost to the customer.
