Ema The Rats Were Right🐀 (@25MMCC) reported@deniseshrivell They have no concept of futurising our country. This one is particularly ignorant! Turnbull’s copper NBN is now being ripped up by copper thieves. So we pay twice for slow rubbish NBN and then have to pay for it to be replaced again now. Being a Murdoch stooge always costs us
-
Bill (@BillySisu) reported@TheNoisyTrunk @Caitlen2310 @adrian_couper When LNP min. Richard Alston was asked which parts of Telstra he had sold, Was it Yellow Pages or the GSM network, etc, his eyes glazed over and he confessed he sold a 30% tranche of THE ******* LOT. Which is why NBN needed to build a new fixed network at huge public cost.

BigBoatBruce (@bigboatbruce) reported@LambDownUnder @james00000001 If you trust private business in a non competitive situation you are essential stupid. If there’s a monopoly service it’s a ripoff in the hands of private business. You must know that. NBN is a national infrastructure requirement for a civil and successful nation.
-
Candace Tomlinson (@aukuschampion) reported@EnergyWrapAU That’s okay, the NBN is the most expensive internet on the planet. The NDIS is the most expensive support scheme for disabled people on the planet. But Australians can afford it! Can’t you? Journalists surely can, why else wouldn’t they complain?
-
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.

harleyw (@harleywattsconn) reported@NBN_Australia It always does this. I shouldn't have to use a different device. I work in IT and have tried it on 46 laptops and 23 phones. Literally went into the pit on the street and took out all the NBN cabling as the NBN never works so Im now im with another company and couldnt be happier
-
Wyatt O'Shea (@Wyatt1I7) reported@villaminium @JordanRey98 @whooithVT I've already got multiple good routers so I don't need the eero but it's cool that it's a free addon. Idk about peak speed being any different as I've never not gotten max speed out of my fiber nbn connections (minus overheads) so about 950mbps+ at all hours of the day or night.
-
The Raven (@The_R_a_v_e_n_) reportedJFC NBN is absolutely dog ****. The 3rd world has better internet than this amateur backwater **** show. A monopolised racket propped up by taxpayers just like the ABC @NBN_Australia
-
Jeremy Kouloubis (@jkdraught) reported@NBN_Australia outage in Picton 2571 NSW since 520am this morning, it’s now 320pm @TPG_Telecom tells me they have no further information from you guys. Not what the problem is or restoration time. What’s the story?
-
/. Gwynne (@gwynne007) reported@analyticflying Meh, this time next year! I had a **** fight with them 6 months ago taking 2 months to upgrade the NBN from 50 to 500 (change of billing systems)
-
BluntHonesty 🇦🇺🤝🇮🇱 (@BluntHonesty4) reported@trsrpc For context. Australia's NBN is still be rolled out years after it was sold as the best thing ever... Yet many have incredibly unstable internet or none at all.
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported@Freddy717263 Of course I knew the power was dead - but only for the NBN. Everything else in the house was working - hence my call. PS - I'm not an electrician, but at least I solved my own problem in the end but wasted 1 hour on the phone to 'tech support'.
-
Jobson Growthe (@ShowerCapAM) reported@ASX1500 how **** was your nbn connection and why?
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reported@QdenisT @AshPolitik Or the fact that what Abbott and Turnbull did with the NBN crippled the future of our entire generation at the most critical time to the point they should be thrown behind bars. That will and should never ever be forgotten or forgiven ever.
-
Paolo M (@PaoloMalicse) reported@Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?
-
Max Rockatansky (@MaxRock222) reported@AvidCommentator Just like the nbn It never made sense But for their other reasons they went ahead with the rort
-
Some Bloke in Oz (@Someozbloke) reported@alreadyfurious @deniseshrivell Ive never had an issue with Starlink and weather...yes latency slowness...i also have had more outages with NBN than starlink.
-
Peter Strachan (@Peter_Strachan) reported@NBN_Australia, I have had no NBN service since the 11th of April in Cottesloe, WA. The date for reconnection keeps moving out. Do you have any serious information on when it will return and what is the problem?
-
Communal Noodle (@Communal_Noodle) reported@eevblog NBN stands for "No Bloody Network" sometimes.
-
SamZawsum (@SamZawsum) reported@SchadenfreudeA3 When the nbn trench crew were here, I offered them cuppas and took down a big jug of iced water and cups
-
Sharon Dresser (@DresserC33944) reported@dpoddolphinpro @Amazonleo @Starlink but ryan starlink is actually useable across most of the globe, leo isnt...and its latency is so slow is only good for wathcing the NSF streams , yeah its still faster than the NBN here in Australia with our crappy fibre to the node than four core coppeer to the home,
-
Ezzeddine | عزالدين (@ezzh_) reported@m1nhaxo Paying $120 a month for 750 mbps but we’ve been only getting 150-300 on a good day because of this garbage nbn And they won’t send us a new modem we’ve had this one for 10 years now through 5 different houses
-
Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedNow tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
-
Berry Straw 🍓 (@ddnnddc) reportedACMA is NOT currently running a spectrum auction for LEO satellite broadband. In December 2025, ACMA decided against auctioning a large amount of expiring spectrum. Instead, they chose to renew the licenses held by mobile operators and NBN. Their reasoning was that auctions could disrupt existing services and slow down new technologies like low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Amazon's Project Kuiper is coming to Australia in mid-2026 through a major partnership with NBN Co. This will give Starlink its first real competition in the country, especially in regional and remote areas. This is generally good news for consumers because more competition usually means better prices and redundancy.
-
Spicy Ice (@SpicyIce7) reported@SolarisFR @The_Bloooop I appreciate the offer but unfortunately I live in Australia who has this magical thing called nbn that controls the internet. Unfortunately nbn r about as useful as dog **** amd i have had no internet for 5 months and likely womt have internet for another 2 at minimum
-
nbn® Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported@use_insert Hi there, 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 RSP know. 1/2
-
Grinds My Gears (@alreadyfurious) reported@Someozbloke @deniseshrivell That's good in your circumstance. But it has been reported by others. I was more addressing why NBN is not a waste. The reason you still hear about it these days having issues is because of LNP screwing it up with a mixed technology approach. FTTP does not have these drawbacks.
-
Kang Li (@aphacia) reported@NBN_Australia no NBN service in Cherrybrook 2126 from this morning there has been HFC replacement recently nearby was it because the project missed cutting the HFC cable for internet then caused the unplanned outage and when it is back?
-
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.

Fix the planet: be progressive - 🇵🇸 (@Boom_ThatHurt) reported@boganintel @AlboMP It's infuriating the situation this govt has got us into by not having any backbone WSE There has been no nation building since the NBN and Abbott wrecked that So many plans that could be implemented but nothing except a moronic sub deal that sucks $B out of the economy for what?
