NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Nicholas Gilbert (@gilbongw) reported@AlboMP @narendramodi Operating 7/11 stores, NBN linesmen and service stations. Hey but what about your electrict vehicles as you put it? You buy everythink from China, that’s a bit unfair to Indja.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@pigways @Batman2242 What? Fttn was cheap to install but severely limits revenue and has a massive maintenance costs which means it can never make a return on the investment. It's why #nbn convinced LNP to provide additional funding and begin the free upgrade to fttp.
-
Werner Kasselman (@wernerk_au) reportedTo be fair. The LNP destroyed what we could have had with the NBN. And you’re comparing jellyfish with drongos. These are different solutions for different problems.

faithlessnomad (@Faithlessnomad3) reported@Ryandally08 @socratesccost Yesss … you get $5.00 a week back off what the government has already stolen off you. Billions in waste and fraud in the NetZero program. Billions frittered away at the NBN. Billions pissed up against the wall on Victoria’s ‘Big Build’. Billions lost in NDIS fraud. Billions wasted on the Inland Rail. Billions down the drain on Snowy 2.0. Billions siphoned off to unions on Sydney roads projects. But hey … five bucks a week. You gotta thank Albo for that. Vote Labor last … Australia 🇦🇺 first 🧡

brad 🇦🇺 (@Patriot__au) reported@leftright314 The nbn was dead before it even started. Putting a 1970's tech in the ground in the 2000's was retarded. But now we are going to waste more money trying for peak retard. Putting up a 3rd rate satellite network with a bloke who rockets blow up before launch. Typical labor.
-
ProudWhiteAustralian (@proudwhiteozzy) reportedAustralia is such a third world ********! Albanese has flooded this country with parasites, couple that with the fact that every nbn crew I see is full of browns and blacks, explains why I pay a **** ton of money for ******* dial-up speed Internet in 2026. JFC.

🇳🇬Inemesit Affia 07037900827................🇳🇬 (@inemesitaffia) reported@edcruzX @cb_doge @Starlink It's cheaper than the NBN solution
-
Mitchell Costin (@mitchell_costin) reported@RobERussell1 @FranMooMoo Yes it is. I did some checking&at the moment I'm better off staying with the NBN network. I have told this to Elon many times,but I never get an answer. Same goes for his paid premium subscription to X. It sounds reasonable in American dollars, but that explodes in our currency.
-
Marty (@Martywa467) reported@Prowerock1 @VoteLewko @Starlink I myself ended up with a Telstra 5G modem also. It just shows that NBN was not the way to go. Even back when they decided to go with NBN it was obvious it was dated technology and for Australia it has never delivered the service it needs.
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reportedAustralia has free fibre internet. Nobody needs high latency satellite garbage in fibre areas. Being inflicted with Kband wireless radiation that could well be CIA subliminal messaging mind control signals like mobile is. Overbuilding NBN fibre should be prevented and ridiculous.
-
Richard Neal (@Wombat_Ric) reported@r0ck3t23 It wont effect providers as much as you think. We have the NBN in Australia and all that happened is everyone became resellers or add on service providers. The telco's wont disappear, they just wont have to pay for infrastructure anymore and become SpaceX resellers.
-
Thomas (@RedoubtOfThomas) reported@lowlandsapien Never forget the NBN rollout either.
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reportedIt is grand final day for that very failed ex labor fool Pommie Stephen Conroy. At his presser he is lying his arse off. It is time @SkyNewsAust must dump this labor liar Conroy. Remember when he was the minister for the NBN his budget was $8.4 billion and a build time of 8 years Pommie Conroy is just another labor fail Enough @SkyNewsAust We do pay subscriptions to you Show us some respect!
-
Peter Dewar (@PeterD84508) reported@timritchie It was failed PM John Howard that sold off Telstra to the tax payers that already owned it. A disgraceful act when we also needed to upgrade to the optic fibre network at the same time. The LNP / Foxtel version of the NBN was another disgraceful failure ....
-
John Murdoch (@jscmurdo) reported@ausnuc_ian It was a Press release waiting for a business case that never eventuated. That's how the LNP operated. Don't get me started on the NBN catostrophe. Another example of the great economic managers.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@pigways @Batman2242 NBN satellites have been in service since 2013 that provided a significantly improved service for remote and regional areas. Starlink only arrived in the last few years. Perhaps Amazon was able to meet the design and contract requirements set by #nbn and starlink couldn't.
-
Hayley Katona (@HayleyKatona) reported@Fiances_ We’ve improved the state of every property we’ve rented (built gardens, mostly). But yet, rent goes up and up and up. Currently dealing with a $300 bill for installing an NBN fibre box inside which increases internet speed 10 fold, and the landlord is making us relocate it for the amazing low price of $770 (wants it moved 2 metres down the wall it’s on). Ugh
-
Harrar Longberry (@HarrarLongberry) reported@BeauGiles You typically use the mobile network as the backup to a wired connection. E.g. at our business the NBN was so unreliable we installed a 4g failover modem, but you need to know they exist & how to configure them. Most people don't have that level of IT know-how.
-
Kayeos (@Kayeos3) reported@Davemcl70700812 @lesstenny You didn't listen during her speach or read any policies. Clearly stated that the country wouldn't be affected. Other systems can easily be put in place. Besides, majority of farmers have satellite internet because they didn't receive broadband or the NBN. **** you lie a lot.
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@Batman2242 @JMarshall63666 That's just a stupid old lie. The concept was determined by an independent cost benefit analysis which determined upgrading to fibre provided the best benefit for the cost based on existing and concept tech. Libs destroyed the plan and the economics of the #nbn
-
Mezmarr (@Mezmarr) reported@NBN_Australia Working hard! More like hardly working! It's been nearly 24hrs since it went down with no updates, no notice of what's actually wrong. NBN being government funded as well, is so ****!
-
Richie_Night Owl (@richardmelb05) reported@Optus Hi Jay, I dont think you can assist me, one of your optus colleagues has told me by phone, nbn is having an unplanned outage, nbn isnt saying how long it will last
-
LambDownUnder (@LambDownUnder) reported@TheLucidyn @Batman2242 Kind of proving the point. Gov can't perceive anything. Making large Capex decisions that are supposed to be generational. It was anti competitive from the outset. Private companies (TPG notable) were prohibited from building out their own network. Regardless, I can have starlink internet now for about the same monthly price as the NBN except i didn't have to front the Capex (and debt) for it. NBN very likely has a negative ROI. I wish we judged policies by outcomes not intentions.
-
Wal (@wally_waldo83) reported@Batman2242 A big part of our productivity problem is that starting from the 2010's more of our spending now goes to megatech platforms that extract Australian revenue without the old local multiplier. When $100 went to Ford or Holden, a retailer or a local media company, a large portion recycled through local wages, suppliers, property, logistics and tax. Now when $100 goes to a global ad platform, streaming service or cloud provider much more can disappear offshore through IP, reseller fees and related party charges with far less local employment or supplier spend despite the use of infrastructure like NBN and roads. So government keeps importing demand and taxing workers harder to fund services while more private spending leaks offshore to low local footprint platforms. That extraction is not productive for our economy and is increasingly an issue, especially when profits are being offshored and Australian taxpayers are unfairly carrying the burden.

anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@twensor @FetchStep sadly its totally on form for telstra. remember when a small fire in their chatswood building took out the national SMS network. where i live telstra, nbn, optus and vodafone are all on a 4 hour battery backup, while essential energy schedules regular 8 hour outages.
-
Aussie Shazza (@shazzadut) reported@VoteLewko @2GB873 I have Boost on my phone. Goes thru the Telstra Network. It was out. My NBN however sailed through no problems with TPG.
-
Not for you (@bcg1976) reported@BilsonhBilson The public can buy it if they want. It's a public company. I wouldn't with starlink cellular about tk come online. Just like I wouldn't have bought it's copper network off it for the NBN. How has that public turkey worked out?
-
Jmaes (@therealjme5h) reported@NBN_Australia St Clair 2759, when is service due to be online??
-
Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported@UrbanHubbard @TheLucidyn @Batman2242 A fibre network was a sound investment. It's the part of the #nbn that's actually profitable. But the libs killed the economics when they tried to reuse the crippled copper. Meanwhile Turnbull was investing in fibre rollouts in Europe

Lamill (@LamillLoL) reportedConstant internet drop outs for weeks, network status always says no outage. Currently down and no end in sight. I need answers!! @NBN_Australia
