    @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.

    @TroyBramston @LalitaMathias Conroy who was so desperate to get NBN numbers up he did a deal with Telstra so they’d drop their PSTN phones and force all their customers over to NBN phones. He got his numbers up, for phones not internet, and old people ended up with a phone that didn’t work in a blackout.

    wish i had the money for starlink right now, i can’t bother with the incompetence of the NBN, 0.97mbps upload and random disconnects is not acceptable, the technicians for the NBN are completely unaware of the problems of the copper wire network.

    "An unplanned power outage is affecting the network" since 8am. @NBN_Australia any updates or ETA on resolution?

  • richardbaha98 Richard Baha (@richardbaha98) reported

    @Optus some terrible service via the live chat. assured the nbn technician would arrive and install between 1pm and 5pm today (as scheduled), they never arrive (no one calls us either). my partner and I cannot be home tomorrow due to work. terrible service.

    Damn shame that Newcastle NBN Newcastle News is now channel 9 News.

  • Gordicans Ian Gordicans (@Gordicans) reported

    I live less than 5km's from the Sydney CBD and my internet drops out for minutes at a time multiple times every single day and night. The NBN service I receive is total crap. It is seriously ruining my War Thunder experience. Thanks a bunch Tony Abbott and Malcolm #qanda #auspol

  • Nikkis0414 Nikki S (@Nikkis0414) reported

    Are we living in a third world country? I live in Balmain and my Internet is out along with a number of other people in my street. My service provider has said NBN can’t guarantee that they’re going to even look at the fault for 30 days. Are you kidding me? What a joke! #NBN

    @missrobinson It depends what “things” they have in mind. Some might be confused as to what level of government does what. Some might want a juicy spot of barrelled pork. Others have some genuine federal level issue that particularly presses hard there locally (e.g. bad NBN, etc)

    @Camelli79450301 Sorry I should add I have never voted for LNP! I remember NBN jogged memory-when worked @ Telstra research labs yrs ago b4 they were destroyed boss was telling me about upcoming fiber & video phones!! I was admin & friends w his secretary so just chatting.

  • Dingleberry888 Dingleberry69 (@Dingleberry888) reported

    @DavidBe53174057 Nah, just had ADSL2+ disconnected as it was ****. Original NBN would have seen fibre to my front gate. Only option now for me is satellite FFS, I'm only 45k out of town and the school next door has FTTP.?
