    @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,

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

    @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

  • 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..

    @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

    @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.

  • ladiesbap ladiesbringaplate 🇦🇺 (@ladiesbap) reported

    @rhysam It's not petulant though - an inadequate NBN service has ramifications for telehealth, remote learning, home based business - it's absolutely an essential service. Gutless, vindictive government, devoid of vision and beholden to their benefactors, have left us miles behind.

  • dmbayly Michael Bayly (@dmbayly) reported

    An Afghan minister has requested technological assistance from Australia to help fight the Taliban. Given our NBN, submarine and dud fighter plane experiences recently I'd suggest we have nothing positive to contribute.

  • acrawfordsaid Alan Crawford (@acrawfordsaid) reported

    Juts received a scam call claiming that my already slow enough #nbn will be shut down for three days and would I like to use their magical service. A new scam attempt one on me, I hadn't seen this on #youtube and I told her so. Please be aware boys and girls.

  • iAm_BiGbiRd Luke Bridley (@iAm_BiGbiRd) reported

    And i still qualified for WCS Australia and beat one of the favourites with a broken keyboard and mouse, these useless ******* idiots that complain about not having perfect NBN etc need to take a look at themselves. Never been so ashamed at AUS eSports. (2/3)

  • BrowntownBrew Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported

    @LordSoth123 They know the speeds. How does myrepublic know the estimated speeds for every premise yet Telstra doesn't. Once a customer connects they can see all the line stats and do various loop tests and then advise customer to change plan #nbn

  • Truthsa23471916 Truthsayer (@Truthsa23471916) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP @NBN_Australia If you are supposedly the Minister to fix it god help us as anything that you touch turns to ****.

  • 42acap SS (@42acap) reported

    @Avikl7 @RonShamgar @AussieBroadband Agree utilities need to adapt but adaption doesn't mean they need to buy a nbn reseller? Also, they have a large customer base and they can do what Origin is doing (e.g. ABB provides back office/customer service). Whole reason ABB is what they are is because they are nimble

  • powerage1986 Pat Orr (@powerage1986) reported

    @PaladinAmber They can never just get things done in a normal manner the NBN crew. Lol

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @avatarofshame Hey Jarrod, we are sorry to hear about this. If you do not have a legacy service to connect to, your chosen provider can submit a service request to us to make you serviceable with nbn. You will need to decide on which provider to go with and contact them first. Thank you, Dev
