NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
River Ach (@ach_river84952) reported@Nirgal451 @cmkusher Let’s check the record: Labor's NBN was full-fiber before the LNP sabotaged it into slow, costly copper. Inland Rail was botched by LNP scope creep, & NDIS white-anted by poor oversight. For economic reform stock with Labor. Vision didn't fail; execution was gutted by the LNP.
-
Anthony (@AnthonyPHoran) reported@jarro56 @isaacfloyd13 There was bipartisan support for the NDIS & NBN because they were popular as their projected cost were fractions of what they actually became. The NBN could have been delivered by private sector for fraction of cost & is likely to be obsolete in future.
-
Cattom (@TCatley) reported@Adam_and_EVs I switched to starlink. NBN in australia was crap it kept disconnecting. Couldnt Game. Starlink ( mini dish even ) has been great cost the same, better service and that in a major city.
-
Dwayne (@CtrlAltDwayne) reported@loftwah They didn't even finish the NBN 1.0 so it makes sense. One of my mates had an NBN contract and he got paid stupid amounts of money and he said he'd finish by 2pm, took long lunches and could push appointments by saying he was too busy. Zero oversight. Huge rort.
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported@RyanJones6980 @Starlink @starlink is only AU$10/month more than NBN plan in my area (regional NSW). It cost me $300 up front to connect to the NBN, and it's been heartache since then. Those in my local area have not reported any issues since connecting several years ago.
-
LCHF Matt (@LCHF_Matt) reported@TTAlwaysWins I’m pretty sure our issue is water ingress in the pits. When it rains it stops working. The last time it stopped (3rd time in 6 weeks), by the time NBN came to fix it (4 days) it was working again, so they blamed us. But Dodo has line tests showing it wasn’t working and I have photos showing the DSL link not connecting. The NBN is a white elephant. The government needs to sell it now and get whatever it can and move on. I ordered the Starlink dish the same day I booked the NBN repair. The dish came the same day as the NBN tech.
-
Spiderbloke 🇦🇺🌸 (@bluebristolian) reportedI told people when the Krudd had his NBN brain fart that it would be a colossal waste of money and that the future was wireless, and people told me I was being stupid. I remember the French government and their massive white elephant the Minitel system. Same government stupidity, every single time.

♡🥀𝖈𝖔𝖗𝖗𝖚𝖕𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖑🪽♡ 🔆 🏳️⚧️ 🇵🇸 (@DezZdemonya) reportediiNet ur fkn supposed 2 tell me 30 days BEFORE you raise my NBN bill by 50% ya cockheads! im gonna damage ur infrastructure, eye for an eye
-
LCHF Matt (@LCHF_Matt) reported@TTAlwaysWins NBN came and told me that it was my network, not the NBN. This is utter BS as the blue DSL light flashing has nothing to do with my network.
-
Frostscythe 🇦🇺 (@Frostscytheplay) reported@DAKKADAKKA1 This is literally the reason why Huawei was banned from even bidding on doing the NBN and 5G network in Australia, because Chinese tech is spy tech.
-
Marquis d'Killara, Duc du Centre-Ouest (@pfbt) reported@NBN_Australia Sadly, thanks to Abbott & @TurnbullMalcolm the only NBN I can get is the APPALLING satellite ‘service’. At least once a day, but usually several times a day, the service drops out. Previously reported; NBN ‘tested’ & says it’s OK. IT IS NOT. … 1/2
-
24/7Chuks (@UnlimitedChuks) reported@ChisomAgbafor How the judiciary has fell off, You mean VDM will be speaking at NBN conference and the so-called "Learned Colleagues" will be listening attentively and taking notes down? God God 💔😭Why did you brought me to this country 😭
-
Amicus Curiae (@AmicusCuri99068) reportedOR they could say? Starlink is the same OR cheaper and gives better service! while our sat service costs a LOT for lousy speeds and is ****** if? it works at all Elon Musk cashes in on Australia’s NBN fail Bush families are being forced to pay the world’s richest man for basic phone coverage, as Australia’s bungled NBN rollout leaves dangerous black spots across the regions. Paywalled Tiset
-
Rabbi Dr. Aaron Ross (@RabbiRoss) reported@JakeTurx It sounds like you have the same issues to negotiate. American Yeshivish is not Israeli Charedi. Prices are high. And so on. Demanding that others change for you will go nowhere. If you're ready for the move, call NBN and get the ball rolling. 6/6
-
Jai Parker (@jaiparker79) reported@REbagholders @AvidCommentator Internet in Bangladesh is too fast. Need to come to Aus for the slow as NBN.
-
Desmondbratcat (@desmondbratcat) reported@Riogallica @nbn @Starlink The only problem with starlink is they can put the price up any time they feel, I was with them 2 months and they upped the price. If you want to go elsewhere in under 12 months you have to pay for the hardware, around $500 I think. Having said that, the service is ok.
-
SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reportedHere in Sydney, we're still waiting for the Nine Network's switch to a mostly MPEG4 multiplex which among other things, will bring with it 9LifeHD. No idea if they're waiting for NBN to move out before making that change or what, but I guess patience is a virtue in any case!
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reportedMy @NBN has been down since 9am & they won't come to fix issue till Monday - 4 days (2nd time in 2 wks)! My Telstra hotspotting is weak. Time to hook up with @starlink Issue here is local installer charges an arm/leg etc to install sys on roof etc. I may have to suck it up.
-
Pete Rule (@PeterRule841618) reported@TopherField Having previously worked for both Telstra and NBN, I can say NBN satellite and wireless are complete garbage, Starlink smashes it. NBN fibre is excellent though and speeds are world comparable. Still, many Aussies pick the cheapest slow plans which reduces our world rankings
-
Nirgal451 🇦🇺🇺🇦 (@Nirgal451) reported@cmkusher We’ve had terrible governments for 25 years. No real economic reforms and throwing tens of billions at poorly thought out thought bubbles like NBN, Inland Rail, Snowy Hydro 2.0, NDIS etc etc
-
Leftofcentre (@oldmate9999) reported@TopherField I didn't say I was against Starlink, what I'm saying is people can wax lyrical about this being disruptive 15 years after the NBN was started to sound prophetic when it was not a viable solution 15 years ago
-
Brent Hodgson (@BrentHodgson) reported@geofiasco @DHughesy @aaronsmith Aside: Whether the Telstra sale was ultimately a windfall is contested. It raised $60bn to sell the assets, then we spent $60bn on NBN Co just to regain access to the assets sold and duplicate/upgrade the network we sold - and Telstra has paid something like $80-85bn in shareholder dividends along the way. In many respects, NBN shouldn't exist. It should have been the $80-85bn in "shareholder dividends" to the Public Owner that paid for the fibres to be laid - not a $60bn investment after a $60bn sale. But NBN was forced to be created after a now-shareholder-owned Telstra responded to how it might build a national broadband network with a non-compliant 12 page letter effectively saying "we won't - the copper wires are our privately-owned monopoly and we want to protect our market monopoly".
-
Cameron (@Cameronmac67) reported@TopherField Kevin07 rammed an uncosted NBN idea through with ~$10b funding. Next gov continued despite true costs far higher & timelines half of actual. Downgraded to cut costs so never as promised. Both major parties keep pouring money into bad ideas like this. did someone say NDIS?
-
Bill O’Slarty-Bartfast (@Klaartu) reported@isaacfloyd13 @johngar45721 And the NBN ****-up was the LNP trying to protect Murdoch.
-
Jean-Michel Djaït 🇨🇵🇪🇺🇺🇳 (@jmdjait) reported@zammit_marc NBN. Never be nice.
-
10forTBguy 🇦🇺 (@powderkeg2024) reported@theheraldsun Musk saved rural Australia from such a slow and unreliable service! NBN fails all Australians. We should thank the uniparty for a company that will never deliver any financial return to taxpayers and has left us paying for very expensive internet by other OECD standards.
-
Energy of Oz (@EnergyOfOz) reported@Temjinck @TopherField There was hardly any logic demonstrated by the pro-NBN side of the debate back then, just emotion. And the worst was the ABC’s Nick Ross

GoodFellaBoi ➕ (Майк) 🏴☠️ 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 ( 🇳🇱 🇵🇱) (@GoodFellaBoiBoi) reported@showcallcrewing @NBN_Australia The wireless modem is worth the extra $10/month. I can work, kids are happy, wife can do her work, but says it is slow, but okay.
-
M 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 (@ThatAussieMel) reportedSo much for being notified of when the team were coming @NBN_Australia now I don’t know what’s happening with my connection as I’m interstate and my mum couldn’t hang around to see out what they were doing.
-
Johnnymoo1969 (@johnnymoo1969) reported@NBN_Australia @ausgov If I ran my business like you I’d be bankrupt - you get away with it - too bad I’m going to Starlink - hope Starlink puts you out of business - how about paying me for my leave day!!!
