    @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

  • MoodsMoody Moods Moody (@MoodsMoody) reported from Cairns, State of Queensland

    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

    @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,

    @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.

  • 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..

  • 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.

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

  • Leepace02227709 Lee pace (@Leepace02227709) reported

    @PaulFletcherMP And yet, I can't use my NBN for work, because it is too slow and unreliable for videoconferencing. I use my mobile data instead.

  • bigjsl John Lindsay 💉💉 (@bigjsl) reported

    @RareIT NBN knew it was coming but they designed the service a decade ago and launched it 6 years ago. It’s served its purpose but it won’t be replaced with an NBNCo owned satellite.

  • nathan_thorburn Nathan Thorburn (@nathan_thorburn) reported

    @Bishop64 They do this for 2 reasons. 1. To save money by cutting the crap out of anything publicly owned or funded and 2. To make it run terrible so we hate it and it’s easier to sell off. Of course they screwed the NBN so bad they can’t even sell it. They are currently working on Auspost

  • nigelelliott33 Nigel elliott (@nigelelliott33) reported

    @KeetusB @AlboMP Haha you think I don't kkow how the internet works? The smallest nbn plan was 12mbit speed, not download. Have a look maybe before you make yourself look stupid next time yeh.

  • LeeRendell SocialJames (@LeeRendell) reported

    @selga55 .@janeenorman apparently you're ill informed about the #NBN roll-out. Actually, you are very misguided on this one. But we're here to help you and the delusional #LNPfail MPs

  • Bradley_Saint_B Bradley Saint B (@Bradley_Saint_B) reported

    @AlboMP @stemplemanmp @MRowlandMP He's no orphan. My pensioner mum and her partner live in a town in regional WA that still doesn't have NBN. The internet they do have is slow and unreliable. Frequent 700km round trips to Perth for health appts that could be done by telehealth with better internet.

  • wewatchu2 LumpenproleT🐀OnStolenLand. Another Dan (@wewatchu2) reported

    @xskinn My 5G crashed yesterday. Nothing a reboot couldn't fix. if you turned it off last night it should be fine today. If your stuck with NBN that's not a given.

  • aussieboroboy mark oconnor (@aussieboroboy) reported

    @SatPaper @LJPatton We've recently ditched our FTTN @NBN_Australia because the speed was ridiculously bad and variable. Spoke to NBN and the provider. No help. Now trying mobile broadband but I don't think that is a great alternative. We should have FTTP as per original design. #BungledNBNrollout

  • grandy80836271 @grandy (@grandy80836271) reported

    @SarkiAdan @AlboMP Election campaigns need money and media. He won’t get media coverage until the thing is declared. Until then he’d be silly to gift the opposition with something to target. But his recent NBN announcement went down well.

  • kels_316 Adam (@kels_316) reported

    @Yo_Ross @_BertHandsome the NBN isn’t wifi. If wifi is his problem there are multiple ways to fix it. Taxpayers subsidising his business decisions isn’t one of them.
