NBN Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Gergyl Gerg (@Gergyl) reported

    @BarryLi51767296 @innocent_abroad Yep, there was slowish ADSL2+ here too, on an old Telecom landline that had been in use for 50 years. NBN at first saw fit to replace that with slow, limited, expensive geosynchronous satellite. Not remote, just 16 km straight line from a major international airport!

  • place_of_jess Jessica (@place_of_jess) reported

    @Optus I am on hour four trying to get my new NBN service set up and working. The systems your cust reps are struggling with are obvs terrible. How are you going to retain customers like this after the big data breach? Why would we stay?

  • NordBlodBear NordBlodBear (@NordBlodBear) reported

    @Optus got to love for paying unlimited internet, got new NbN cables outside but can't use the ******* internet because drop outs. ******* pathetic also you're home page sucks arse because when you go to report an outage the URL to that part of the website doesn't work

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @dannywaterson Hi Danny - Sorry about this. We have just checked and can see an NBN outage in 2146 Toongabbie. At this stage we have no ETR, however our technicians are working hard to get this fixed as soon as possible and get the services back up and online - Aman

  • emboy4real Emboy (@emboy4real) reported

    @iiNet need help with Toolbox access. Can get in with NBN account but not my previous ADSL account which have my email accounts linked.

  • Vladesch Vladesch (@Vladesch) reported

    @GreenJ @Telstra A few people here suggesting a switch of ISP. That is unlikely to help. The problem is almost certain to be with the underlying NBN. You may be better opting out of the NBN entirely. I have fixed wireless (non NBN) and it's reliable and cheap.

  • protopartners Proto Partners (@protopartners) reported

    @Optus, your Messaging and Chat function is one of the worst customer experiences I have had in a long time. 60 minutes to cancel our NBN service. The idea of "leave your customers loving you" when they leave has been forgotten. This is not in the spirit or delivery of "Yes".

  • phazzles OnlyPhazz (@phazzles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Nbn is down again

  • Darviticus Dae Knight ✨🏳️‍⚧️ (@Darviticus) reported

    Okay, so. Made mistakes Mistake one, summer heat exists and is bad. Overwhelmed self with 2 work days in heat. 1 very busy Mum's B-Day+Art Exhibition Organisation Day 1 Friend over + NBN (kinda eh install job) + SUPRISE OTHER THING

  • sofa_stream Sofa Stream (@sofa_stream) reported

    @GreenJ @Telstra I switched from NBN to mobile 5G a while ago. It's cheaper and much much faster too. Never had an outage yet.

  • LisaLemon09 Lisa L 🍋💛 (@LisaLemon09) reported from Adelaide, State of South Australia

    Urghh woke up early with bubs & stupid me decided to message about my wifi going off with my fetch box. Next minute 2.5 hours gone & nbn guy coming out next week + transferring my mobile + new nbn plan to save money. Last hurdle & fell over now waiting on a call at 11 to fix 😖

  • writerbyter Now, bring on that FEDERAL ICAC with 🦷🦷🦷🦷 (@writerbyter) reported

    @RuncibleH Friends/ colleagues I know, including ourselves, have lost internet connection because of failing parts in the NBN nodes. Whilst they have been swift to respond, one can’t help but think how much better a @AustralianLabor roll-out would have been. #LNPfail #LNPNeverAgain

  • the_fanta_sea Fanta (@the_fanta_sea) reported

    @phazzles You're NBN does down more than you do

  • BaldingPhillip Phill Balding (@BaldingPhillip) reported

    @samstrades Author appears to be claiming Singapore is not west of the NT project.. but Sydney is? A lot seems wrong here Simply would have been like the NBN - gone over budget, get bad yield, eventually write down assets. Plus too many extra risks like cable down-time

  • ErikaSupreme Erika, the Indomitable (@ErikaSupreme) reported

    NBN FTTP upgrade tomorrow, having dealt with FTTN for the last year, it's utter crap. The amount of router/VDSL modem options out there is dire and I'll be glad to move away from bridged mode off whatever pile of junk modem I found that we could use.

  • __rymac Ryan (@__rymac) reported

    @iB3nji @Telstra with the use the data you pay for how you want then pay for a full speed plan? It’s no different to having various speed levels on the NBN network. With lower speeds being more affordable.

  • phazzles OnlyPhazz (@phazzles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Why is there always daily emergency maintenance on my NBN? @NBN_Australia @Aussie_BB

  • phazzles OnlyPhazz (@phazzles) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Everyday I get an email about an emergency nbn outage

  • JedimasterIG88 Car (@JedimasterIG88) reported

    @NBN_Australia, as someone who works on fixed wireless and satellite services, why do you allow RSP's so much power to decline faults? And why are there so many "routine maintenance" jobs booked for the eastern suburbs of sydney without an improvement in service?

  • Jharris1986 Judder (@Jharris1986) reported

    @NBN_Australia Any chance you can fix the recently installed FTTP equipment in our street in Barwon Heads? we were told in December we can upgrade but our now being told its broken?

  • BLShiv 💧Shiv 😷 (@BLShiv) reported

    @MarioNawfal It didn't solve the Royal feud, didn't fix the NBN or energy prices.

  • dannywaterson Danny Waterson (@dannywaterson) reported

    @Optus nbn outage in 2146 nsw? Your website has nothing. But lord of people reporting outages. Thanks

  • sharongrierson3 Sharon (@sharongrierson3) reported

    @archcontext @newscorpaus Problem is in many regional, rural and remote areas satellite dishes are relied upon for telecommunications when NBN, free to air channels and even radio reception drop out & are unreliable. So Murdoch rules.

  • vkrishnav vinay krishna (@vkrishnav) reported

    @TPG_Telecom Internet is unstable since 3rd Nov and it keep dropping every 5-10 minutes. I received at over 10 messages on NBN investigating issues and even confirmation that issue was fixed but no luck so far. It has impacted my work and overall daily schedule.

  • DisasterRobyn Robyn, Not a mad scientist, just disappointed (@DisasterRobyn) reported

    I'm at a place with fixed wireless NBN. I can see the dish on the roof. Pointed at the NBN tower that is 20 meters away and I can't help but feel there's a better way of doing this

  • armadilloLAG Jaiden Cairns (@armadilloLAG) reported

    @NBN_Australia do I have to pay for you put out nbn cables where I live I live sorta remotely if u can help me out I’d appreciate it

  • o_Matto Matto (not parody just sarcastic) (@o_Matto) reported

    @Your_Avg_Punter Worse than that if he wasn’t involved in breaking the original vision for NBN it would have been easy to set up micro or community providers to so small population centres could service themselves.

  • LifesGood0067 Laura G (@LifesGood0067) reported

    @callingoutfake5 @Telstra Our entire family has cancelled telstra. We moved all moved to Amaysim for mobiles and HarbourISP for nbn services. Both much better with service AND afterservice.

  • vkrishnav vinay krishna (@vkrishnav) reported

    @sapphirereport @TPG_Telecom It has been happening in my area too but there is no firm action by @TPG_Telecom other than false confirmation that issue was fixed by NBN.

  • DobrinAnthony Anthony Dobrin (@DobrinAnthony) reported

    @NBN_Australia As someone who works on resolving fixed wireless and satellite services and knows the ins and outs of NBN, I am annoyed that my HCF service still has the occasional disconnect and speed issues. The reported fix in the pit and constant maintenance every week annoys me.
