NBN Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • freshtonic James Sadler (@freshtonic) reported

    Confirmed that at least my part of Mount Colah west of the Pacific Highway is suffering an outage. NBN yet to acknowledge. It’s been 4 hours.

  • davispg Paul (@davispg) reported

    @Telstra Business. I have had no end of trouble with my business mobile. I have never been able to successfully link it to my business Telstra ID. I also have business NBN. That one has been fine.

  • craigparsons777 CP (@craigparsons777) reported

    @freshtonic @NBNCoLimited I just had my tech visit for Tomorrow cancelled by NBN due to known fault in Mt Colah, also there is a "planned" outage from midnight to 6am tomorrow that arrived after the NBN went down, did someone break something?

  • Rascal19566427 Rascal (@Rascal19566427) reported

    @TheAliceGrey E-Print was designed as a solution for a different circumstance (ie. to print something from a device not on the same network as the printer). I find reboot of nbn, wifi modem and printer whilst swearing profusely at said hardware sometimes works

  • illyhami llhamburger (@illyhami) reported

    @Optus NBN is down, website shows my address shows no outages but still haven’t been able to connect, can you help?

  • Aitch_El Overlizard (@Aitch_El) reported

    so now my NBN has failed. Seems to be the (fixed wireless) receiver/antenna. A fix next week. Oh well. 😒

  • Sylvia_Else Sylvia Else (@Sylvia_Else) reported

    @NBN_Australia Apparently, the NBN does not do repairs over the weekend. What kind of essential service does the NBN think it is?

  • glassdarkly6 glassdarkly (@glassdarkly6) reported

    @RickWatt9 @FernandoLongoOZ Switkowski deserves a little head in there too. Produced the business/tech report lie that they relied on to commit the treasonous vandalism on an essential service. ex Telstra ceo, was gifted Chairmanship of NBN in return for his lies.

  • The_Phill_Up Phillip Parsonson (@The_Phill_Up) reported

    @roweafr @FinancialReview The LNP really are oblivious to the terrible situation they find themselves but worse still is the dreadful power generation denial that is leaving Australia so far behind , coupled with a massive debt a substandard NBN and health in dire trouble SHAME ON THE LNP and Morrison

  • craigparsons777 CP (@craigparsons777) reported

    @freshtonic I just had NBN cancel my tech for tomorrow due to known network fault also Mt Colah. Also got a planned outage notification from Telstra from midnight tonight shortly after NBN went offline

  • ohyeahhii B (@ohyeahhii) reported

    @DodoAustralia I got a message saying my nbn would be setup in 2-3 days. anyway to speed this up? my modem is arriving today and my service with Belong runs out tomorrow. I need internet on the weekenddddd

  • burningmbition Pro-choice Craig 💉💉💉 (@burningmbition) reported

    @FernandoLongoOZ Another project that forms part of their social engineering project. When Labor inevitably try to fix it, the LNP will cry foul about it being so expensive to fix, when it was their deliberate strategy to ruin the NBN project in the first place.

  • burgotastic Tim (spooky Halloween version) (@burgotastic) reported

    @ABillionSuns @joelpmichael It’s FTTC so the copper component is limited. I think the more likely problem is physical damage to the network, given that seems to have been the problem with the power, and the nbn network seems to also be overhead

  • freshtonic James Sadler (@freshtonic) reported

    @NBNCoLimited’s ability to detect and report faults is abysmal. I’ve had an outage since 2:20pm and so have at least five neighbours so far. But NBN’s status page is still in denial. Cool, cool.

  • wendyrvm wendyrm🐾 (@wendyrvm) reported

    @Optus NBN is down, website shows suburb has some problems, but my address shows no outages, can you help?

  • TheSymbolistFGC Sym (@TheSymbolistFGC) reported

    @PINK666_ Nah this is where I start feeling like nago players just don't use their health advantage appropriately. They'll batter themselves into axl and get hit over and over again without being precise and then say the mu sucks when I've seen nbn Crush every top axl in the game.

  • Matt_Tulk Matt_Tulk (@Matt_Tulk) reported

    @manaz_d @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia That sounds like the same Rubbish Abb used to tell me while blaming my gear the funny thing is I have not had a single problem on both future broadband and now Super loop

  • Sylvia_Else Sylvia Else (@Sylvia_Else) reported

    @NBN_Australia Does the ISP pay a fee to NBN for a call out? If so, does the NBN charge more at weekends? Is the NBN liable to compensate ISPs for payments the latter make under the Telecommunications (Customer Service Guarantee) Standard 2011 ?

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    Right. Called back - it's apparently an @Aussie_BB problem, not an @NBN_Australia problem. Explains the result on the NBN outage tracker. :)

  • michaelduraj Michael Duraj (@michaelduraj) reported

    @NBN_Australia @Internode @Internode still patiently waiting any ETA yet on Internode customer fttc -> fttp upgrade availability ?

  • Steph_Simmons89 Steph the sarcastic sequin (@Steph_Simmons89) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    My mum broke her femur on Wed, and my brother is a non board member of the NBN. These 2 pieces of info are important because today dad -annoyed the NBN is down at home- said to my brother, “it’s a good thing our healthcare system works better than our internet” and wow savage 💀

  • andpill Andrew Pillekers (@andpill) reported

    @NBN_Australia We have been promised improvements for years now, nothing ever happens, it just gets worse. How about you just get us on FTTP, like it should have been from the start. If you want to look at a stupid NBN rollout decision DM me for my address.

  • kel_radford Kel Radford♿🇦🇺💉💉💉💉 (@kel_radford) reported

    @MrKRudd @TdeMontbrial @IFRI_ I wish you luck with your book Kevin. I was always hopeful when you were PM. After the libs got in, everything turned down. Now we are still trying to fix the nbn. Good Luck mate.

  • manaz_d Robert Hudson (@manaz_d) reported

    Oh, and @Aussie_BB, I am not sure that "well, it's an NBN problem, you're just going to have to wait until it comes back up" is an appropriate response to someone with an NBN Business SLA (the lovely person on the phone hadn't even heard of NBN customers with SLAs...

  • sammton Sammy Norton (@sammton) reported

    @NBN_Australia I haven't had internet for 5 days. I've raised it with my service provider and it's been an ongoing issue. I've had two technicians come out already and the end result so far is another technician must come out. This isn't acceptable.

  • M_Killer M_Killer (@M_Killer) reported

    @HarbourISP the worst customer service,I rang at 8pm for technical support & waited over 25mins, 5th in the line & got cut off! no customer service agent available??wtf? Make yr customers waited over 25mins to be cut off due closing hour? #worstcustomerserive #harbourisp #NBN

  • Sylvia_Else Sylvia Else (@Sylvia_Else) reported

    @NBN_Australia Yes, my service is completely down. On the NBN modem (FTTC), the power lights and link lights are solid on. The DSL light is completely off. My provider, Aussie Broadband, says that there are no appointments until Monday.

  • Optus Optus (@Optus) reported

    @jenpryor1 Hi JP, sorry to hear about your internet connection issue. Can you please direct message us to confirm which internet service is this in regards to, I mean 4G home internet, 5G home internet or NBN home internet? Kartik

  • burgotastic Tim (spooky Halloween version) (@burgotastic) reported

    I have power finally, but no internet. Is that a thing - do power outages cause problems with the nbn network?

  • parkerfiftyone Tom Plevey (@parkerfiftyone) reported

    @NBN_Australia @TurnbullMalcolm No, because I know it's not their fault. It's because it's still on copper that was installed in the 1940s that @Telstra let rot when they got privatised and that Australians paid for twice. Unless you're installing fibre, nothing's gonna fix it.
