  • 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

    @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

    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

    @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.

  • 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.

    are NBN dropouts a provider issue or a housing issue?

  • Entiirety Entirety (@Entiirety) reported

    finally got nbn setup so no more trying to game with 0.5mbps down 🥰

  • Belinda07749345 Belle Èpoque - loose unit (@Belinda07749345) reported

    How did we reach a point where the most reliable utility service in Australia may actually be the NBN?

  • dwyer_david 💧David Dwyer (@dwyer_david) reported

    @TPG_Telecom @NBN_Australia is there an outage in North Ryde or is it just me?

  • mcphee23 Sam McPhee (@mcphee23) reported

    The gall of @NBN_Australia to advertise in Coogee where there's been nothing but network issues consistently for a month

  • wrhollingsworth William (@wrhollingsworth) reported

    @Optus Yes, it must have just been updated since I last checked. "Reduced service" is a cute way of saying the "the NBN doesn't work at all"

  • wrhollingsworth William (@wrhollingsworth) reported

    @Optus hey no Internet for at least 45 minutes in 3071. Website says no outages. Reality chooses to differ. 4 green lights on the NBN box and I've power cycled it a few times. Also don't deign to give me a condescending reply, I work in tech support.

  • fukemweball7 shari needs all of x's sc songs on spotify (@fukemweball7) reported

    it took me 3 hours to download fall guys today and now 2 hours for fortnite. My internet used to be so bad years ago that it would take a full day or two to download a game 😭 I'm blessed with NBN

  • phillipwmoore49 Phillip Moore (@phillipwmoore49) reported

    @scibidoo Done both. Wifi reasonably good (for a crap NBN network). Still no go.

  • souwalker Patrick de Souza (@souwalker) reported

    @smperris Origin’s NBN is from aussie broadband and I can’t complain about NBN service from AB
