@Telstra Will do, but it’s the NBN. The little green lights start flashing so I know the NBN is down. The smart modem is supposed to revert to sim back up. That isn’t happening every time. I will monitor and if it happens again during the day I’ll raise a faults investigation. Thanks.

@NBN_Australia @DonSibleyGames The original FTTP NBN was meant to bridge the technological divide between the city and rural and regional areas, it never happened. You now just going to open that divide right back up again leaving rural towns, out west, behind because they are an inconvenience to upgrade.

@BrittMezher My parents used to have a private number for years, so I never knew if it were them or not; that is until NBN came along, and suddenly their number became visible.

@Optus @NBN_Australia you have to be the worst two companies in history of this country. 2021, inner city Brisbane and your “fast internet” never works properly while charging a little fortune for no or fully interrupted service. You are rubbish!

@BenPugsley 2/2 it’s always interesting the partisan approach to gov expenditure, for example, the NBN was written “off balance sheet” $50bn of expenditure that never appeared in the gov’s finances as it was held as such. Both sides do it, it’s not a team sport. Wrong both ways.

@NBN_Australia Or to put it another way, when can I expect a 250mbps service? Or even 100mbps?

@chrisrauchle We had NBN satellite and it was awful, especially for Zoom calls etc due to long latency. Plus the download quota was absurdly low, and it was expensive. Absolutely hopeless for modern use.

We got a deal from our ISP for at least 200Mbps and I’m fairly sure my gamer kid will never emerge from his room again. Before we got NBN, we’d get at the most 5Mbps on broadband.

@dailytelegraph Why? Don’t we have like a few other things to fix closer to home first? Like the rubbish NBN, the insane national debt, or all the money the LNP want to give to themselves?

Soooo. When @Telstra misrepresent the speed of an @NBN_Australia plan, and drop your speed, you have to wait a while month for them to fix their cockup. Sounds reasonable. Doesn't it?

Well that's a rarity - had an #NBN #FTTH / #FTTP service dropout for almost 45 min. @Optus Chat Technical support confirmed the NBN backend dropped out at 7:28pm and ruled out anything at a user/home level root cause.
