  1. Last Monday (22nd) I woke up to no internet. #NBNAus came out the next day and discovered the cable to my house had been eaten through by something (mice/rats most likely) and was buried deeply where it couldn't be accessed to fix.

    I heard a rumour they were supposed to come out and dig a hole yesterday but still no sign of them.

    Luckily we were away for a few days but the rest of the time I've been working via my phone hotspot - not ideal, so now I'm just waiting and hoping this won't last forever.

    I think I'll look into connection backup options once I get my access back.

  2. 14 hours without landline internet. This sucks for a person that normally does game streaming.

    The only internet that works is from my phone, but because I live in a small town in Australia, the mobile signal is terrible too.

    What's worse is, it seems the NBN outage is at least half of town. (Finley, NSW, Australia), as I've heard from multiple people today that also have no internet.

    This is the first outage I've had since getting the NBN years ago, so, so far it's better than the old ADSL system.

  3. Quality install, NBN. To fit new fibre Maddison box, unscrew old box from wall, expose the cavity to the wall, leave the old box unlocked, and the new one, and don’t even put the fibre guard in place *sigh*

    Hope it survives 3 weeks to internal Install works.
