NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@TheNoisyTrunk @Caitlen2310 @arbsmichael At a time when the network needed to be upgraded to optic fibre Howard sold off Telstra to the people that already owned it. The cost to build the NBN should also be included in Howard's debts .
-
Baiaphilia (@baiaphilia) reportedWhat happened was what always happens when it's a project run by the government. It failed miserably, and went way over budget. The NBN was so bad I begged my provider to give me back my previous internet connection. But they couldn't because they forced them to shut it down.
-
Leo Puglisi (@Leo_Puglisi6) reportedUnfortunately @6NewsAU won’t have live by-election coverage tonight (NBN issue) but this is a great thread for Farrer We will have reporting later in the night once results have been reported!
-
Mark's Daddy (@DeZuidermaan) reported@DrewPavlou Australia's internet is **** because Tony Abbott deliberately sabotaged the NBN by making it fibre to the node. Rupert Murdoch was worried that streaming services would eat into his pay TV profits, so he had all his news orgs back Abbott. They even announced it at Fox Studios.
-
Stuart the Catman (@CatManSturty) reported@algorithmsayshi Seems to be a common issue with the NBA league pass and NBN providers sadly.
-
Steve Woosnam (@SteveWoosnam) reported@ichimikichiki @Lisa9Sophia The NBN is still one of the biggest waste of money in Australia's history. The government never had any business sticking its nose in.

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@THATS_RIGHT_YA @robb_j_m nbn fixed wireless made me pay for 50mbps plan if i wanted to get 25mbps <two mbps faster than the adsl service it replaced> for 4 years, if i dropped to the 25mbps plan would deliver 12.5mbps. took them 6 years to deliver the 100Mbps plans they promised at launch.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@diss_presso @robb_j_m The nbn was only announced in 2011/12. So if it went to crap in 2000, that's the market that let it go to crap.
-
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.
-
Heilagt 🇦🇺 (@scrdeclxpse) reported@ruicharadrius Getting my NBN done and paying $99 a month for 62mb internet, just to have one of my overseas mates talk about his internet of 150mb being slow so he switched to gigabit. Absolute ****** travesty, shameful is what it is.
-
John the Baptist (@JohntheBapt1ser) reported@ruicharadrius This is the most retarded tweet I’ve ever seen. A) falsely thinks WiFi is “the internet” B) doesn’t realise Aussie mobile coverage is some of the best in the world C) NBN is good now. My guess is your WiFi router is crap or too small for your house

rompa82 (@rompastompa82) reported@colonelhogans Where were you when Murdoch donates to the major parties to buy things that help him.. look at the nbn fiasco ended up costing Australians billions but they did as he wished..
-
Michael Fowlie (@mwfowlie) reported@tomdoes_tech @DanielW_Kiwi I mean even if you love Australia, the NBN sucks
-
Mark Sareff (@MarkSareff) reported@Telstra 1 Calvert Avenue Killara. Shows nbn out. Trouble is I have low mobile data allowance and depend on wifi
-
Kathy Mewton (@tatduckum) reported@Cranky_Old_Guy @aaronsmith I guess the huge debt Libs left , this will help . Explain how would you pay off the $1.2 B debt Libs left On top of that your buddies left $350 B AUKUS NDIS out of control NBN blowout Robodebt debt Snowy blowout $31 B Inland rail blowout I will wait for your solution

ExoticSpice (@ExoticSpice101) reportedI’m thankful I have NBN Fibre but even with that I will never use cloud gaming. why would the local computing die anyway? This AI craze will die quicker than the computer. Phones and laptops still need to be need built. What’s going to stop is that PCs will no longer be cheap
-
J Pipsam (@markdavaus) reported@robb_j_m I'm paying $99 for Gigabit, with NBN just giving me a FTTP upgrade at no extra cost. My parents paid $120 for 7Mbs a decade ago until NBN finally gave them FTTN. Price per speed on the higher end has absolutely come down in price compared to the pre-NBN duopoly.
-
🌸Lynae 🟪⬜️🟩 (@lynaem88) reported@Telstra my nbn isn’t working the Telstra modem is working perfectly fine. is it a me issue or a nbn issue.
-
Terry Corby (@TerryCorby57986) reported@DaveMcG67 @Ausbobsmit @lauren_vasiliou Like Snowy 2 you mean started by LNP at a cost of $2B now estimated at $42B an LNP project or the NBN which cost us $110B more under Abbott& Turnbull for a far inferior service.Neither the right or left r great project managers.
-
Aussie Kaiser (@Ladwiththebrew) reported@Ben_Davison1 Education has gone to ****, roads no different, rail basically doesn't exist, NBN is a worthless attempt at 30 yr old tech, electricity and gas is expensive, refusal to build any water infirstructure. The law was subverted decades ago and civil society doesn't come from gov.
-
Heilagt 🇦🇺 (@scrdeclxpse) reported@xShephardx Being a nerd here in Aus is like top 10 most emotionally excruciating experiences since my internet used to be 3 mb/s, which is actually a lie since my ISP throttled it down to 950kb/s. Thank **** for NBN since it's now like 62mb/s but gigabit internet would have me heavenbound.
-
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.
-
Matt Henderson (@MattxH) reported@BanderaBeau @BikoKonstantin1 @AlboMP It doesn’t work because each government is interested in keeping power that the next government wouldn’t implement the next step. Massive changes like this can only get over the line if the solution is obvious & unanimous. Even then one single government can **** things up eg NBN
-
Glen (@Petty_Ruxspin) reported@TRILLBlackLos @Cheamane @elroy__preston Didn’t NBN run down on them on stage at some point. Like these happy rappers were still street nyggas at the end of the day.
-
Kurt (@KurtsViews) reportedMy home internet cut out. It must be raining somewhere in Sydney. This NBN Internet is a joke. Everytime it rains even slightly you lose connection.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@pointman69 @CefaiJason @robb_j_m 10 years and $30b wasted on LNPs stupid idea. All the whole Turnbull invested in fibre rollouts in Europe and the supplier of copper to the nbn
-
Bulldogs57 (@Bulldogs5711) reported@MarkoMatvikov How ? Debt is down They are fixing NDIS Inland rail NBN Robodebt Not sure what you want to do about Snowy & AUKUS. And $1.2 T debt won’t disappear. It’s inherited. LNP / ON are calling to increase defence.
-
Duchess of Exeter 🌏 (@WhosFibbing) reportedThe three telcos and government-owned NBN Co were left reeling when the regulator rang to notify them of its final pricing decision – a token $20m reduction to renew spectrum licences essential for carrying mobile signals. ACMA’s decision will result in the sector collectively paying peak market rates of $7.32bn to roll over their existing spectrum holdings as licences begin expiring from 2028. Much of that cost will find its way on to customer bills. More inflation incoming!

P J Bird 😷 Vaxed 🎶 🌈 🇺🇦 🇯🇴 🏴 (@PJbird_01) reported@suzanne2222 Another LNP disaster just like the NBN has cost Aussies billions to fix

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@LooksDodgy @robb_j_m was on nbn fixed wireless, got tired of the outages and billing issues with my ISP, shifted to starlink. faster, far less outages and almost identical price. as a bonus starlink bills once per month, former isp billed every 28 days. that's nearly $100 a year less.
