Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedWe pay like a $150 a month for the premium of Telstra mobile and it doesn’t even work immediately when out NBN drops. What are we even paying extra for? Fix your trash Telstra 😡😡 @Telstra

Ruchir Patel (@Iruchirpatel) reportedCan’t wait to get my @Starlink finally time to **** off my NBN.

MrRuSs3LL (@mrru5s3ll) reported@ImVicLoLagain @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro He is saying that wifi is not internet, that's it. I have many services at home on my local network that I use my wifi to connect to that don't use the internet (NBN) at all. Fwiw I also have 2000/500 NBN with a capable router, 10gig switch and cat6a runs that support it. My internet is great by any standards, the only thing Australia does ****** (now - it wasn't this good a couple of years ago) is that we don't have symmetrical links for consumers. The whole point though is that the idiot OP thinks that "wifi" means internet, and it doesn't.

David FarleyBrain 🍄🔭Keep Alaska Canadian!! (@Coffeedaveoz) reported@SocialPiranha3 Yeah I do the Aldi $23 a month on mobile and now have almost 247.6 gb rollover data ... handy when the local NBN goes down.

CryptoVegeta 🟠 NFTARMY (@opieaccount4) reported@TMFScottP I was a gamer and hated ADSL living outside of a state capital it was ****. NBN to me personally would have been great, but blowing that money that money on shortsighted populism didnt sit well with me. Seemed shortsighted.

Ryan Emery (@ryanremery) reportedSigned up with @VodafoneAU 2 weeks ago for FTTP. My internet then stopped working. @VodafoneAU customer service claimed existing FTTN had been canceled. @NBN_Australia says no. Got FTTP today. Now receiving my "cancelled" FTTN and not FTTP 500MBS I requested 2 weeks ago.

Hobbie (@Hobbie4C) reported@Riogallica NBN is always a cluster. The whole NBN-ISP-customer chain is absolute *****. A virtual guarantee all problems will take longer to resolve.
-
Miles (@Michael1953_202) reported@Telstra New NBN, wanted Foxtel, bought Fetch. But Fetch can’t get Foxtel, can’t cancel, no refund no return, throw the Fetch box in the bin, or they said “they would recycle it responsibly”. Now I want some real science, an energy balance not virtue signalling .

Grant (@grantbuttenshaw) reported@disco___cat The NBN is the fastest network in the world

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.
-
Books (@Books4566) reportedAs usual @iinet and @nbn having their monthly ‘no Internet for a day’ period. No reason provided. As a customer you pay daily for service and they never credit your daily loss. Big companies can do what they want with impunity.

The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(

Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@deniseshrivell All the telcos are pushing nbn. I’ve been on 5g for 4 yrs after issues with NBN. Last week my power adapter died on the router & they tried to convince me I needed a new NBN plan because 5g doesn’t work at our address. I gave up and bought a power adapter for $12 … 1/2

IdnoSports.com (@IdnoSports) reported@Ryandally08 It’s not the only thing ONE NATION will shut down. The 1 billion dollar Great Barrier Reef scam will be on the agenda as well. And I would be taking action against the nbn roll out that has blown out to billions more than ever explained take them to court

Munted (@use_insert) reported@NBN_Australia Can you pull your finger out and at the BARE MINIMUM, updated your website with outages. Yorke Peninsula SA Over an hour offline and your 💩 website says “No Outages” ISP confirms that you are the problem 🙄
-
Marko Matvikov (@MarkoMatvikov) reported@Sarah59321051 I've just got my home internet with them and dealing with them has always been great in terms of tech support, new setups, liaising with NBN, network outages, price rise communication, etc.

Billyy (@Billyy39678102) reported@CatherineD42535 @VDejan0000 ******* stupid question. Of course we should. Nbn, snowy hydro and reduction in hecs debts. All wasted money. Let’s have a government oil and gas company and refineries. Owned for the people. Economic ideology has failed the Australian people. Time to be pragmatic.

Psimocybin (@Psimocybin7) reported@C10885107738417 @QBCCIntegrity I didn't vote for ASX listed because I wouldn't want it to be like the NBN. Publicly funded private companies are the worst. If it was publicly owned and then sold in an IPO so the taxpayer gets their investment back then good.
-
BXP (@bxporter) reported@shaneciurleo all we need now is an NBN outage or someone being told to get off the phone because dinner is getting cold

Jobson Growthe (@ShowerCapAM) reported@ASX1500 how **** was your nbn connection and why?
-
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
-
🌸 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'.
-
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?
-
Optus Help (@optus_help) reported@kni36182404 Hi Mike, can you please send us a direct message to confirm if it is the service address or billing address? Also confirm which service is the contract for, I mean mobile or NBN home internet? Kartik

RealityPartyAustralia (@PartyReality) reported@JEChalmers What a goose you are @JEChalmers . Just like old @SwannyQLD who sent a broke in the GFC. We live the nightmare now of the NDIS, NBN, net zero and a parasite public service of red tape. We are broke & going off a cliff under this incompetent, corrupt treacherous Labor government.
-
twoshedslegit (@twoshedslegit) reported@xeveriano1 @4mambo My speed went from 40 under the LNP to over 500 under Labor after FREE NBN upgrades. We got free fibre to the premises after the LNP’s ridiculous and stupidly slow fibre to the node
-
💧☘️Rhona - Bluesky: rhonae (@bensab3) reported@james00000001 Yes, and another good reference would be the NBN! Oh, Gonski,NDIS 1 Labor introduces excellent policies to assist, costed7designed - lies&falseScareCampaigns getCoalition elected&immediately they tear down/interfere &alter, to point the policy fails and they happily blame Labor
-
Scarab (@ScarabOfficial) reportedWow... #Starlink have dropped their price to around 1/10th of what it was, to try to attract customers in Australia, who are mainly, of course, on the #NBN. And for the first four months it's even cheaper than that, during their current promotion. Just a shame it's so slow.

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.
