@LocalNews4051 @NBN_Australia Hi Dennis, All our NBN plans are wholesaled directly through NBN. If the provider listed changes it does indicate something odd happening, possibly a fail over service, crossed line, etc. I would recommend touching base with our customer service team if issues continue - Adam

You would not believe it, NBN have finally admitted in #estimates that fibre would have been better. ******* down with a feather. #auspol

@CoaltrainHunter @1Swinging_Voter The very first pilot site built was at Kiama South NSW Coast. One of the contractors Transfield Group, lost $10 million on that install, never touched NBN again.

People can complain a lot about the NBN, but I think it held up very well for the pandemic load of working/schooling from home. Most anecdotal complaints are due to the standard garbage wifi setup most people have in their homes.

@Telstra Hi Phil, I spoke to telsta and did the troubleshooting and they sent someone from NBN co to check out the issue today. Some corroded wiring following the storms in Sydney. All working again.

@michaelneale NBN should do it. Just part of the service. Free wifi assessment.

@sunnydarkgr33n @JrehnJ @NickFeik 1. "Science & Technology" always together For a party that rejects Science, utter hypocrisy to rely on "Technology" as "magic bullet" 2. Remember 2013 & Turnbull selling "New Tech will magically appear & cut NBN costs" Never happened, never going to happen #auspol

@manaz_d Ahhh this trick. There is anecdotal evidence to suggest this is standard NBN ops practice. In an area where service SLAs are soon to breach, declare an outage and avoid penalties.

My NBN phone landline out. Reported it and keep getting told they can't fix it. Terrible service. @Optus @networkoutage

@alastair_ak47 @SkyNewsAust The libs had adopted that position for many years. The nats still support conspiracy theories. So in Australia our governments have not listened to experts . The nbn was another good example.

@1Swinging_Voter That NBN cost from Conroy was $4.78 billion, I know first hand, it was only about $70 billion out, and NBN looks nothing whatsoever like what Conroy said it would. Not one of the NBN management team had ever built a fibre network. There were no fibre splicers available either.

@NBN_Australia why do you do all your network works during working hours when most of us are still working from home? Can’t you do this stuff during the night? Infuriating 🤬#NBNsucks #nbn
