NBN Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • shinegfriend hayley 💫 (@shinegfriend) reported

    @NBN_Australia network has been down in Brighton for almost 48 hours, any estimation of when it will be fixed?

  • Ria_Hopkins Ria Hopkins (@Ria_Hopkins) reported

    @NBN_Australia Well, what a saga. Just had my fifth tech visit. They've now done civic works to lay cable 60m from my house to the tap. Today the tech who came to connect me says there are no free ports at the tap. So now I'm waiting to be contacted (in 2021 I suspect) with a solution.

  • MattMorrisMedia Matt Morris (@MattMorrisMedia) reported

    @Aussie_BB Huge shout out to Brodie from the technical department tonight. Helped resuce an NBN service taken by another provider, entertained and completly changed my mood. Cherish her, I didn't know such great customer support existed.

  • AlanBaxter Alan Baxter (@AlanBaxter) reported

    The ADSL has dropped out across our whole village. Everyone not on the NBN has no internet. @Telstra have confirmed the outage and say it will be fixed by 7pm on December 29th. 11 days! What the hell!? How the hell is that any kind of acceptable response!?

  • Qldaah David Marler (@Qldaah) reported

    @lisaharveysmith Please let there be aliens. Hopefully they can solve all our NBN problems. 🙏

  • sortius sortius (@sortius) reported

    @MagzGTV @NBN_Australia Sorry dude, but the Libs ****** fixed wireless. They removed the upgrade paths for the bearer network, so each tower is running off 100Mbps microwave links, possibly sharing it with a number of towers, each with 64 services

  • jemumma Jem (@jemumma) reported

    @FScottNorman @PRGuy17 @TimSmithMP Or at least somewhere with regional-grade NBN and mobile service.

  • Ria_Hopkins Ria Hopkins (@Ria_Hopkins) reported

    Just had my FIFTH @NBN_Australia tech visit since August. Despite two days of civic works last week, he's now identified a NEW hardware problem. He has no solution, and I now need to wait to be contacted, again, to arrange a time for someone to come sort this out. Ridiculous.

  • the_outraged Beowulf (@the_outraged) reported

    Is this just me? NBN sign up... @tpg sent the modem to the wrong address & then tried to activate the account 2 weeks before agreed - so cancelled @Optus assured us the modem would arrive Tuesday (as we're moving) - looks like 23rd now. So will cancel this too. @Telstra next??

  • bec2612 Rebecca Ferguson (@bec2612) reported

    @Optus we're having problems with nbn internet in Oyster Bay. Is there an issue in the area?

  • shinegfriend hayley 💫 (@shinegfriend) reported

    I hate the goddamned nbn... wifi has been **** for like 2/3 days... makes me appreciate decent wifi a lot more now

  • OperationalInc1 Operational Incident (@OperationalInc1) reported

    @thecattery @aussiewongm @baltoria NBN being the perfect example where taxpayers are tens of billions in the hole, corporates are walking off with the assets and massive profits, and everyone's stuck with a shitheap network from the 90s

  • CannedFan CannedHamFan (@CannedFan) reported

    @NBN_Australia @sydney_festival That’s great and all but your services are awful

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @Rorymacabc Hi Rory, I have looked into the network in your area and it appears there is an unplanned outage affecting the NBN service in your area. The fault is currently under investigation and we are working to resolve the issues ASAP. Please DM for further assistance - Vin

  • PRETTYPISTOL_ President Elect Q Soldier 🐸⚡ (@PRETTYPISTOL_) reported

    I have just been told by my ISP that I will have no internet connection due to NBN issues until they can come & inspect equipment earliest appointment available 30th December. So I have no wifi internet for next 12 days over the Christmas period... Brisbane Australia WTF!!? #NBN

  • oliverzip Oliver Townshend (@oliverzip) reported

    @Telstra NBN down 5 times in the last hour. Anyone else in Balmain are affected? Why is it that I can only complain on my app?

  • mickdundee48 💦Laird Mick W Beattie (@mickdundee48) reported

    @Optus (2) I still have NBN FTP with you and 2 mobile phone packages. I used to get a new phone every 2 years, no longer available. Am still paying same amount but without a new phone. Optus shop staff are rude at my local shop. Customer Service puts you on hold for at least an hour.

  • kev_metcalfe Kev Metcalfe (@kev_metcalfe) reported

    @catedempsey Stop burning Labs, take an interest in their childs education - poor doesn't have to mean useless, plenty of poor people have educated children. As an aside, literally none of Australia is outside internet coverage, even Macquarie Island has a dedicated NBN Sat beam.

  • YvonneGunn Yvonne Gunn (@YvonneGunn) reported

    We are with Telstra for our phones and internet...we have no choice in the matter. We have had no internet for 3 days now. The call centre in India is not helpful. It is an NBN issue. This is fkd.

  • RustyCid RustyCid (@RustyCid) reported

    @Cayinator @NBN_Australia Hopeless...maybe i should just fix someone's car then tell them, here you go, you can do the rest when it's all in pieces. Looks like the new norm now...

  • egirrrlie 𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖗𝖗𝖗𝖑𝖎𝖊💧 (@egirrrlie) reported

    Some have suggested it is related to the change from FTTP to FTTC at rollout... Which raises an interesting question: is it possible the design & configuration of @NBN_Australia boxes was based on full fttp rollout and DIDN'T CHANGE when the Libs cheaped it down? #auspol

  • iambren10 Brenton Harris (@iambren10) reported

    Anyone else on @TPG_Telecom having issues RN. My internet keeps dropping out every few mins. Have checked NBN status and they're reporting no issue. Is there maintenance happening in St Kilda?

  • NBN_Australia nbn™ Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported

    @p_t_parcel Hi P.T.Parcel, we are sorry to hear this. This is not the experience we want for you. You'll need to raise this with your provider, as they manage your services. They have an internal nbn support team they can request assistance from on your behalf, if required. 1/2

  • ShezBisShezB SB (@ShezBisShezB) reported

    @Telstra NBN is down in 3802. Any ETA for a fix?

  • grumpyeconomist David Briggs (@grumpyeconomist) reported

    @iiNet there is no NBN outage detected in our area but we do not have internet in Brighton Vic. This is becoming too regular and we feel it’s time to change provider on the basis we are not receiving a reliable service

  • DavidWhittingha David Whittingham (@DavidWhittingha) reported

    Hello Telstra, any chance of keeping my internet going for more than a couple of hours at a time? Since the NBN arrived it’s been a heap of ****, unlike before, when it worked great.

  • AdamMRockett Adam Rockett (@AdamMRockett) reported

    @NBN_Australia Hi @NBN_Australia - I’ve received the email to contact my provider but my provider cannot see the service?

  • HyenaRuby Ruby The Hyena (@HyenaRuby) reported

    Bruh my whole as NBN is down and my mum is blaming it on the great reset

  • CGrandma55 CrankyGrandma55 (@CGrandma55) reported
