NBN Outage in Lennox Head, Ballina, State of New South Wales

@JezNews NBN was never going to work properly

@stuartrobertmp FIX THE NBN!!!

“The staggering sum was highlighted by the nation’s peak body for phone and internet users on Wednesday, in a response to the consumer watchdog’s NBN Wholesale Service Standards Inquiry draft decision.”

@StuartEdser A litany of poor decisions relating to the environment, treatment of asylum seekers, welfare recipients and the NBN

“By next year, the NBN Co has promised to have 8.1 million homes and businesses using the service, with a further 11.7 million ready to connect. However, experts have warned the NBN’s speed and reliability issues will only worsen as more households and businesses connect.”

“However, Internet Australia chair Paul Brooks slammed the report as “self-serving” & “disingenuous”. “Clearly [the NBN Co] have an image problem they’re trying to repair, and that image problem is justified,” Dr Brooks said. Speedtest ranks Australia 61st for broadband speed”

“Mr Mullen claimed that the NBN’s high wholesale pricing would force resellers to “withdraw or go broke”, with consumers ultimately losing out. “The downside of this in turn will be fewer service providers and ultimately higher broadband prices to the consumer,” Mr Mullen said.”

“Labor had spent around $6.5 billion on the NBN when the Coalition took power in 2013, with the government since splashing more than $44 billion of taxpayer funds to create what experts have described as an “obsolete” and “third-world” broadband network.” Arrogant f**king lnp.

@platykitten We're already paying for a substandard service. Let NBN pay the fkn tax

@telstra any problems with the NBN around Simpson Close, Narrabeen ?

@SBSNews Thank god we got out of the silly outdated security breeched diesel Submarine Labor government deal. Too bad we couldn't get out of the NBN deal as well! LOL

@dwjperry Will try. there are so many elements that could go wrong - my software, hardware, wifi signal, router NBN box, and all of the stuff going out from there. It gives me a headache!

@TheDSingularity Telstra's shocking customer service is renowned. For info only: my voice calls to Optus get answered immediately by friendly competent staff, and my Optus wireless broadband internet service provides unlimited data at speeds ~100Mbps or faster (and is way cheaper than the NBN).

@NBN_Australia Yes I have and I left a complaint with them, however the fault is not theirs it's yours. There's "Scheduled Maintenance" for us that's spanning over 8 days and my ISP has told me you've flagged them as "Infrastructure upgrades". Why is this happening now when everyone is 1/2.

In Australia, more players seek to operate in the #NBN backhaul space. This sounds great for customers, but it can lead to problems with the quality of the commercials, service level agreements & services. Wholesale differentiation therefore has to be grounded in service quality.

@Optus Any idea when the NBN line issues will be fixed in Essendon?

Exetel NBN went down again in Caboolture, internet light flashing on router, no access to my site via http or ssh, restart router, wait 10 mins, internet ok again

@OncerebornLOL Hi there, we hope you've reached out to your nbn Service Provider about this? Our team will try and minimise any disruptions to your services as much as possible. However, sometimes a fault may occur. Please reach out to your provider to conduct a line test with you. ½

@QuackDetector I wanted to become a 5G hotspot so i could quit my job and retire. I new i could get rich with minimal effort selling my signal to disgruntaled NBN customers at a reduced rate.
