ProudWhiteAustralian (@proudwhiteozzy) reportedAustralia is such a third world ********! Albanese has flooded this country with parasites, couple that with the fact that every nbn crew I see is full of browns and blacks, explains why I pay a **** ton of money for ******* dial-up speed Internet in 2026. JFC.
-
Umai NUTTERS (@Umai_NUTTERS) reportedWas going to shock those who wondered why ive been offline for a month after the last internet issue and go New Financial Year New Stream, but alas the weather decided it was going to flood where the NBN lines run. I can download... just, upload is dreadful so RIP
-
@JPVanga (@jpvenga20579) reported@jera_nichols @jackieaus @Starlink I'm Northern Beaches Sydney. The slightest change in the weather or HAARP signals - Chem Trails, all affect the signal which drops out as a result. It also drops out at 6.15pm EST most evenings. I run another NBN service in tandem as I run an internet based business from home.
-
rose saltman (@Napoleonspiano) reported@NBN_Australia @therealjme5h Yes, but how long will I be without service? 3 hours and counting.
-
Boxy (@BoxofPies80) reported@Telstra NBN down for second time in two weeks……
-
FarCue (@FarCueCunce) reportedJust had the Indian "tradie" experience. Our ISP offered free connection to the NBN fibre network so they sent out the installer. Long story short, I rejected his ludicrous proposal to destroy my concrete slab driveway so they could run the shortest cheapest route of cables.
-
Brat (@IyBrat) reported@Batman2242 Idiot without NBN you would not have internet during COVID to jack off
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reportedIt is grand final day for that very failed ex labor fool Pommie Stephen Conroy. At his presser he is lying his arse off. It is time @SkyNewsAust must dump this labor liar Conroy. Remember when he was the minister for the NBN his budget was $8.4 billion and a build time of 8 years Pommie Conroy is just another labor fail Enough @SkyNewsAust We do pay subscriptions to you Show us some respect!
-
Wobb & Ro-Ro 🔞 are currently Quack-tastic!! (@WobbandRoRo) reportedMAYBE WHEN WE WAKE UP, WHATEVER ******** IS WRONG WITH VODAFONE AUSTRALIA AND THE NBN WILL STOP SCREWING WITH OUR NET, BECAUSE I SURE AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS TO THE BILL PEOPLE AND DEMANDING A DISCOUNT BRO!!!!
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@UrbanHubbard @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 A fibre network was a sound investment. It's the part of the #nbn that's actually profitable. But the libs killed the economics when they tried to reuse the crippled copper. Meanwhile Turnbull was investing in fibre rollouts in Europe
-
Alastair Taylor (@tayser82) reported@OperationalInc1 Whenever the NBN low-earth orbit satelitte service kicks off (Amazon's burgeoning network), the backup should switch to that. Aside from some parts of inner Perth/Melb/Syd/Bris, all of the rail network is on the surface and will be able to uplink, I would have thought.
-
Matte Black (@MattSul96194350) reported@realRick_AUS I've just been fishing 50km down the vic river in the NT. Starlink had better uninterrupted reception than my NBN at home in the middle of Darwin. The NBN was yet another Labor scam on the taxpayer.
-
Nonny (@nonnygb) reported@Jenbox360 Nah that's not torture... I've finally convinced my ISP & NBN here there's an issue with my fibre connection with 40+ dropouts a day. It's taken them a month & 4 callouts to finally accept it's not my hardware or within my property. I was losing my mind.
-
Maddie Latham (@MadLatham) reportedMy phone reception has been having issues, yesterday the nbn carked it and I got spat on (my bag) by someone in Footscray. I’ve ordered $60 worth of coffee this morning, had 2 long blacks and I’m about to walk the dog in the rain and go to a bathhouse this arvo.
-
Michael🧙 (@mich___l) reported@VoteLewko @2GB873 Starlink is great if you're mobile, but you never want to use it to replace the nbn residential connections. The speeds and latency you get from a fttn/fttp connection are leagues better.
-
Lucidyn (@TheLucidyn) reported@UrbanHubbard @Batman2242 Turnbull botched it. The original fibre and fixed wireless sections of the NBN were worth doing. Switching to Fibre to the Curb was an expensive mistake that has already needed replacing in most areas. This isn’t a left/right issue, and that’s not my point anyway. You missed the core of my post. The NBN was and still is a good idea. It just needed far better design than the “back of a napkin” version under Rudd, and Turnbull shouldn’t have messed around with the plan the way he did. I worked with people who installed the cabnets during the transition and saw exactly what changed inside them. With over 20 years in the IT industry, I know what I’m looking at. My actual point is that comparing the NBN to Starlink is unfair. It’s like comparing the entire fixed telephone network to mobile phones in the 1990s. Mobiles were revolutionary, but they didn’t replace the fixed network they complemented it.
-
Kevin Metcalfe (@KevinMe49077436) reported@AlanBixter Why, we spent a fortune on the NBN, just go to the countries news service and watch it there.
-
Richie_Night Owl (@richardmelb05) reportedJust got a call from @Optus the bloke told me @NBN_Australia has suffered an outage. He couldnt say how long the outage will last
-
Richie_Night Owl (@richardmelb05) reportedOur @optus NBN internet/Phone service problem has been fixed. My mother can watch online movies and music videos on youtube. The internet is her only source of entertainment
-
FML (@jshster) reported@PieNorthern I haven't had a problem in ages... since we upgraded to NBN high speed. Hate to say it but it might be a tech problem. Although I do get it!
-
Jo Tan (@8jotan8) reported@iiNet internet has been down since Saturday… ref: 500039344 Love the no show today 1pm to 5pm! I had to call you to find out? When are you attending the basement for 308 Pitt st?? Line sync is still down! It’s 2026 #outage #internet #nbn
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@Batman2242 @JMarshall63666 That's just a stupid old lie. The concept was determined by an independent cost benefit analysis which determined upgrading to fibre provided the best benefit for the cost based on existing and concept tech. Libs destroyed the plan and the economics of the #nbn
-
Richard Neal (@Wombat_Ric) reported@r0ck3t23 It wont effect providers as much as you think. We have the NBN in Australia and all that happened is everyone became resellers or add on service providers. The telco's wont disappear, they just wont have to pay for infrastructure anymore and become SpaceX resellers.
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink Speed is latency. No satellite connection is "high speed" sick of the disinformation. Starlink is 20ms-40ms+ latency like mobile garbage is. NBN is a whopping 600ms latency. They need to keep this junk away from fibre areas where I get 2ms latency and have had since 2022.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@DoodyDarren @CovfefeDnUnder Can NBN do this? No, and it never will. Of course wired networks, such as aarpnet are way better for some applications. The fallacy is that NBN is about technology, when it’s about a cross subsidy.
-
Garfield C. Reynolds (@GarfieldR1966) reported@NBN_Australia sure enough this problem still isn’t resolved. Outage page has been showing us as facing network degradation all week. Regular dropouts and slow connectivity. Will you ever fix this???
-
Eduardo Gallarza (@tandjgallarza) reported@colonelhogans You Idiot!... barking in the wrong tree!... ask your Thief Pathological Liar Albo... he promised transferracy in his Thief government, he can't even tell to anyone how much they already spend taxpayers money building solar and wind turbine. Even the NBN Gillard thief created.
-
Andrea (@1963amh) reported@SharkaByrne @newscomauHQ I paid extra to keep it at the time, so it would be accessible when nbn goes down. Or so I thought. Not sure what I paid extra for ( possibly another outlet )but it didn’t work, totally useless when it’s down. So much for progress.
-
Peter Leversha (@PeterLeversha) reported@merchant_s35416 @Bender_Aus Privatising telecom was the right thing to do. And selling off Telstra was an even better idea. Both were drains in the economy. Trying to get telecom to fix anything used to be a pain in the butt. Look at NBN, over priced garbage. There's nothing wrong with a user pays system. Why should people in Horsham pay for a road they don't use in Melbourne?

Powell's Other Glasses (Ausnotes) 🌸 (@ausnotes) reported@88888sAccount Best to wait till Telstra or the NBN is down again and then really rub it in the face.
