NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jim Stewart (@jimboot) reported@eevblog @Aussie_BB Been on on Starlink maybe 5 years. I can remember one outage because of a Solarflare. Wireless NBN was every other day. Good old Govt again
-
Nicolas (@nicomb88) reported@NBN_Australia internet outage since yesterday and still not resolved. Internet provider has no clue what the issue is nor when it will be fixed. Never received any notifications from nbn. You guys waited until Friday to ruined people's weekend? Good job guys.
-
Adam Turner (@adamjaytee) reported@NBN_Australia hey, so no update on an unplanned outage in 5 hours is actually insane, just in case you were wondering. Northcote area.
-
Tolly 🇦🇺 (@TolsonKiefer) reported@stevehearne7 @arbsmichael @Marilynrules1 A portion of Telstra was sold for $45b and the rest put into the future fund, totalling $54b+. Telstra is worth $62b right now. This was an excellent deal for Australia. Kevin Rudd introducing the NBN has nothing to do with Howard and Costello and it was also only $11b. Idiot
-
Craig Gardiner (@cwgardiner) reported@telstra reception in Vermont South (near Sewart close) is crap. I logged a call (INC 40508228) as a @Telstra Gold member 6 months ago, today they told me it was fixed. It ain’t fixed. Still no 4G/5G and I’m paying for 4G backup on my NBN modem. This is beyond a joke.
-
daniel (@daniel647543) reported@techAU @robb_j_m It didn't work for everyone. I'm 1.5km by road from my exchange and yet everyone here has ****** wireless NBN, which manages to be both more expensive and slower than Starlink, with somehow higher pings than sending a signal to space and back. Everyone has Starlink here now.
-
StanleyEB27103 (@StanleyEb27103) reported@JayJay1094727 @eevblog It's the other way around really, they would love to provide a service over their own infrastructure at higher margins than wholesaling nbn
-
Ralph (@RalphGarcia305) reported@Aquariuslonn @Cheamane That’s fair and understandable. I never cared for Eazy/NBN collabs - he doesn’t sound right on those beats and the way Treach had to dumb down the flow/cadbece so Eazy could rap them just didn’t sound good to me
-
Maximation Max (@maximationmax) reported@Ben_Davison1 Government provides education? Why then are kids paying $40k for an arts degree?. If NBN was a government service rather than a business its expense would be in the budget
-
Philip Wall (@BaronPhilbert) reportedRecommendations for new NBN service, please? After 25 years, @Optus feels it's more important to reward new customers than existing ones. Anyone had experience with @Aussie_BB or @Kogan ?
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@DWybar2 @robb_j_m @Optus Change providers. Aussie broadband were great in pin pointing the issue, providing all the info to nbn to prove there was an issue and getting it fixed.
-
💥Dr Robb 🎓Social conscience? Follow me. No MAGA (@robb_j_m) reportedTo my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had inexpensive access to the internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?
-
Natasha (@Natasha19317558) reported@AlanBixter I’m not a hater but I can’t decide if I hate Medibank Private or Telstra / NBN more? Telstra / NBN sent 15 techies to fix our Internet problem & many phone calls all while our kids doing Uni exams & 1 wtg for cardiac surgery. Stress ++ Good luck Alan coz you’ll need it 🙏
-
Mary Spy (@mez_spy) reported@AjaxXanthe See if you can get extra mobile data from your provider. We had an NBN issue a couple of years ago & not sorted for more than 2 weeks. We could get additional data on mobiles or a dongle for home
-
Stew Harris (@sjharris) reportedHey @Aussie_BB, why have you charged me today for a cancelled NBN service????
-
Doug Hendo (@DougHendo) reported@iluminatibot I worked on the NBN my team was wrecked by the magnetic radiation we all new you cant be near high levels for a hour even. They turned the towers off for my team or it was maximum 10 minutes on the site at a time. The feeling is very very bad. I feel sorry for anyone who lives near high electromagnetic radiation. Another form is a VR very dangerous to children under 12 I've seen the damage a VR can do also 10 min at a time.

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@un1v3rs3135 @robb_j_m i'm on slightly more expensive starlink plan, rural village, get 240 mbps down and much faster uploads than fixed wireless nbn for just $9 a month more than i paid for the unstable NBN. has dropped out once for 7 mins in very heavy rain over the last 5 months.

Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m But real world demand was lower as no zoom or Netflix. But anyway - it’s moot. The government could buy every Australian household a starlink dish (2.5x faster than NBN) for <$6B - and we’re still not finished, having spent 10x that. The doomed NBN had the absurdist aim of connecting every sleepy country town with top shelf fibre whilst legally enforcing slow internet in our metropolitan centres (the only places where fibre is even economically viable). This is exactly what the libs predicted at the time and were ridiculed for it. How about just connect the high population centres (you know, the ones who actually need the internet for their livelihoods) and let rural people move to the city if they want 1gbps, and then later spent a few billion buying the rest starlink if we really wanted to continue pissing money up the wall (or just letting them buy it themselves, with their own money, if they really wanted it). You aren’t angry enough.

xjet (@xjet) reported@eevblog @Hobbie4C Perhaps there's been a huge surge in demand for bandwidth from those cellsites since the NBN outage? Everyone has the same idea as you and bandwidth is finite. The more concurrent users, the lower the throughput.
-
MR Reilly (@mrr78504) reported@econoadabsurdam @LeeRespecter The NBN might plausibly have increased productivity if it had retained its original scope (A FTTN fibre backbone network independent of Telstra that would allow telecommunication companies to compete on an equal footing). Instead it got rolled out first in Tasmania.
-
Econo ad absurdam (@econoadabsurdam) reportedWhen the ALP talks up something like the NDIS or the NBN and says that it will help increase productivity, what do you think they mean
-
M (@imboudee) reported@Justme136160 @robb_j_m To be fair, David is not wrong. Telcos will use the NBN infrastructure as they see fit. It’s cheaper to pay to use the NBN infrastructure that is already there than to lay down their own fibre. In fact, telcos like Optus and Telstra are already NBN providers.
-
John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@Sauronlordking If there is one thing I didn't mind from the ALP that would be the NBN in its original form. Then this idiot came around and mutilated it into his own little mixed up mess. That now has to be unraveled at even more expense!!!
-
💥Dr Robb 🎓Social conscience? Follow me. No MAGA (@robb_j_m) reportedTo my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?
-
Bulldogs57 (@Bulldogs5711) reported@MarkoMatvikov There is no doubt Libs are to blame for our debt Federally Left Oz with a $1.2 T debt Blowout in NBN Blowout in inland rail Blowout in Snowy Blowout in robo debt AUSKUS Blowout in NDIS Closing of refineries & CPS. Clear evidence of what ALP has to do to fix the Lib mess
-
ComputerGoBrr (@ComputerGoBrr) reported@Teadaxs @robb_j_m The vast majority of third world internet infra is way better than nbn, perhaps a poor comparison
-
David Collins (@Errol5870) reported@australian People have already forgotten another of his past failures “The National Broadband Network”, NBN for short…
-
mastodon.au/@macropin (@macropin) reported@eevblog NBN don't have the equipment necessary to maintain their own network. More consultants will fix the problem.
-
nbn® Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported@Peter_Strachan During an unplanned outage on the nbn network we keep your service provider up to date on all available updates like estimated restoration times and details of what's being done to fix the outage itself. As soon as we have any updates, we'll let your service provider know. 1/2

David Lee (@Stoxxie) reported@Liberty_Itch @DavidLeyonhjelm This is an incredibly poor editorial on the NBN. A waste of my time in reading it
