NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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

Yvonne (@YBartolovic) reportedLots and sometimes can’t even get 1mpbs Not joking Not nbn though but still **** house
-
Bill (Blagoyce - Pronounced "Blagoyche") Anakiev (@BILLTHEDJ) reportedThank you to the NBN/Optus for restoring my internet connection at full speed. For the past 2 months it was working at woeful speeds. I was initially told it was a problem at my end 3 times but it seems the complaining from my end caused action for them to investigate and fix.

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.

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.

Libertarian Party NSW (Liberal Democrats) (@LibertariansNSW) reportedThe Libertarian Party believes in reducing government involvement in the economy. We would Reduce ATO staff by at least half over 5 years because flat tax rates will require less compliance staff, and it is essential to reduce the possibility of the tax system regrowing; similarly, scale back agencies such as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and Australian Competition and Consumer Commissioner and the laws they administer; and sell government business enterprises, including the NBN, ABC, SBS, and the Future Fund, and use the proceeds to pay down debt. By removing bureaucrats and simplifying tax, we will have a more prosperous country. #smallgovernment #libertarian

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.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@robb_j_m What type of connection do you have? Anything with the copper in it such as fttn, fttc and HFC are allowed to drop out about 5 times per day and nbn don't consider it a fault. Fttp is much more reliable and only drops if there's network maintenance
-
Max (@diss_presso) reported@BrowntownBrew @robb_j_m Most of our national capital Canberra is on <100mbps whilst literal 3rd world **** hole islands, without NBN or paved roads, get triple that. Anyone who actually believes in the NBN is as brainwashed as a Putin supporter. Starlink has made the NBN largely redundant for non gaming purposes, and the 5G network is already 3 times faster and both cost taxpayers exactly $0.00. Rudd should go down in history as the king of morons.

The Policy Guy (@negativevortex_) reported@PaulineHansonOz Morning Pauline. The 'du jour' attack on One Nation presently focusses on whether your policies are costed. As you know, this will become a regular feature of all uniparty (LNP will offer this sledge too) media / comms over the next 24 months. It shows the panic levels have escalated. I believe this is your best tactical response (below). 1. Be prepared to openly sully the reputation of the PBO The fact is that this department has costed the NBN, the NDIS and (to a lesser extent) Snowy Hydro. They are continuously wrong, because they are not highly skilled operators in private industry, they're public servants running to Standard Operating Procedure. Let Australians know the PBO is wildly off the mark with most of their projections. So why should One Nation seek this amateur level of analysis? 2. Move the financial analysis and broader discourse to the public forum. Be open, be transparent. Everything that Albanese is not. Aussies will see this and appreciate sincerity of effort and process. Invite critique from high calibre experts like @Adam_Creighton and @DrCameronMurray. Have the project estimations team at Hancock Energy run a ruler over it - they eat Class 2 estimates in their sleep and they'd crunch this work. 3. Empowering Aussies to think through the conundrum. If One Nation aspires to leaning out the public service, to increase quality and production whilst decreasing cost and regulation - most people realise that the public service are not and will never be 'independent' The PBO likes to remind us they are Parliamentary public servants, as distinct from APS. This is a meaningless distinction - they are inept and part of the loathesome Machinery of Government (MOG) that always seems to place Aussies last.

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.
-
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
-
Aussie Christian🇦🇺🕎✝️ (@MAustraliaGA06) reported@RennickGBR My issue with point 3 is that for the last 2 decades, there hasn’t been one federal project that was delivered on time and on budget, every single infrastructure built blew the budget completely. So it’s just more spending. Snowy hydro, NBN, inland rail, hunter frigate etc
-
Funkdoctor (@Docsthename) reportedI think Telstra is having relationship issues with NBN which is delaying my divorce with Telstra 😤
-
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.
-
The InfraDev (@theinfradev) reported@malimber01 @robb_j_m What are you talking about. The NBN was created from nothing and only cost so much in the end because it was saddled with Telstra's **** copper infra by the libs and had to essentially build it twice.
-
Retro MoJo 🇦🇺 🧡 (@Mac80277103) reported@GreenTyler27 Yep, our respective Government's have stunning track records of gross incompetence in the planning and rollout of large infrastructure projects, resulting massive costs overruns paid for by the tax payer. Remember Labor's start the original NBN "fibre to the premises" rollout and its massive unplanned cost overruns? Then along comes the LNP's moronic attempt to cut costs by a change over to a crap "fibre to the node" hook-up and other "hybrid" connection types. We still deal with this high cost to maintain mish-mash today this very day. End result, we've been quietly paying for the dismantling and replacement of the LNP's substandard "FTTN" with "FTTP" as originally planed, and thus, billion's $$$ wasted.
-
Alan@7th両日 (@BasakaAU) reportedSeems like NBN is back up after it went down yesterday morning, phew
-
Andrew Godman (@Andrew_Godman) reported@onurcam @tzk1810 Kinda slow compared to fibre. Misses the point that Tony screwed the nbn and ended up spending just as much as a fibre network was going to end up being

dexq (@qexdval) reportedTech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘𝒔 🇦🇺 (@DanielSMatthews) reported@eevblog I have both, NBN service stability is far less than Starlink's, so it is my backup. I could probably push traffic through both, did that with Telstra and Optus cable modems back in the day, but Starlink is so fast I haven't needed to bother.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@Marilynrules1 @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael The competition is basically at retail level and thanks to the nbn there's actually been an upgrade to the fixed line network so there's better service. Significant speed improvement and slight price increase.
-
Pelli69 (@pelli_69) reportedanyone else with @Optus ? Have spent almost 6 hours with them online today trying to arrange an NBN service for when I move, transferred to numerous different agents only to have them tell me thay cant help me as originally promised. @Telstra here I come

Jonathan Wilson (@jfwfreo) reported@KurtsViews I have NBN FTTC here in QLD and even a tropical cyclone didn't cause my internet to go down.

ADAMan 🧫🧠 (@hoskyidiots) reported@craigkellyAFEE @Sauronlordking Free internet would be cheaper than FTA TV FTA TV (FY2025-26) Total estimated annual government expenditure/support on all FTA TV A$1.64 billion NBN Financial year 2025, ended 30 June 2025), NBN Co’s total operating expenses were approximately A$1.6 billion.

Taya Nielsen: StuffTrump! ICE OUT! (@TayaNielsen2) reportedChifley established the PBS. Whitlam built Medibank. Keating started national superannuation. Hawke dumped tariffs to help Aussie farmers & their exports. Rudd built the NBN. Gillard built the NDIS. So, what exactly DID the LNP do in all those years??
-
💧Marilyn (@Marilynrules1) reported@TolsonKiefer @stevehearne7 @arbsmichael According to AI: The Australian Government has poured a total of approximately $35 billion into the National Broadband Network (NBN) through equity investments and capital injections.
-
Saxon Nicholls (@saxonnicholls73) reported@TheKouk You retards are joking surely ? Government is an impediment not a support …. Seriously - Government has nothing to contribute - the world has changed for talented people - no need for University, no need for handouts, forget NBN - Starlink … list goes on

Erick (@Erick0341) reported@KathleenWinche3 NBN, **** happens when you’re stupid.
