    @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,

    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.

  • 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

    @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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • BigBadDenis 💉💉 Denis - The COVID info guy - (@BigBadDenis) reported

    I have an NBN scheduled outage in my area between 8:30am to 12:30pm.

  • ABillionSuns Rocketpilot (@ABillionSuns) reported

    @johnb78 I'll speculate it's because, like IT nerds and the NBN, it's the first time the hard realities of public service provision have impinged on the consciousness of white middle class professionals

  • gints49469347 gints (@gints49469347) reported

    @geforcenow_pgg your service is excellent. Can't believe it. Any ETA on 3080 tier? Thanks again, it's so good (via 100/20 Telstra NBN HFC Melbourne).

  • agitated Chris Agi (@agitated) reported

    @NBN_Australia Of course there is an outage on my address though it says it was supposed to be fixed by “Fri 26 Nov 4:30pm”. WTF am I supposed to do with that info? Can I get an update for a future time rather than in the past?

  • WhyTheFaceDude WhyTheFaceDude (@WhyTheFaceDude) reported

    @ShiannonC Of course that’s how they would do electronic surveillance.. not by hacking into military and government networks.. oh wait maybe the NBN was rolled out as slow as an old chook on purpose..it is a security measure!!

  • MrSteveWhitt Steve Whittington (@MrSteveWhitt) reported

    Within 5 days of changing to #nbn streaming issues I haven’t had on cable in 10 years. Grrrr… @Telstra

  • pumbaalicious1 Pumbaalicious1 👑 (@pumbaalicious1) reported

    @NBN_Australia We have contacted them everytime this happens (it's happened A LOT!!!) but it's not on their end, because we have friends with different providers with the same problem... So it is the NBN line in this town which is actual terrible from wherever we get our net!!!

  • shelsta78 Shelsta78 (@shelsta78) reported
