Dipen Patel (@Dipenspeaks) reported@Zacknarltree Worst ping ever to be seen .. only on tangerine NBN
-
John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@eevblog I had a client - I/net not working. Discovered it was the whole building. 2 NBN tech, different calls: we can't fix it. I got the building mgt to show me the "gear" in the basement room. The power supply was cold. Checked power board. We flicked a breaker on that was off. Win!

Lucas | 🇦🇺 (@TheBlackWallaby) reported@australian Even Tesla is made in China, so what is the actual issue here? This was sent from my Mac Mini, made in China, sitting on a desk made in China, connected to the NBN through a Wi-Fi gateway made in China, typed from my Logitech keyboard, made in China, while I sit in an office chair made in China, looking at a Samsung monitor made in, checks notes, Vietnam. At some point the argument has to get more precise than “China bad.” If the concern is connected vehicles, telemetry, firmware access, data storage, or fleet security for MPs, then make that argument properly and apply it consistently across all networked devices. But pretending Chinese EVs are uniquely suspicious while half the modern office supply chain is already Chinese-made is not analysis. My iPhone (made in China) is connected to my Apple Auto - driving me around tracking me on a GPS map, with a microphone that works, and the Head Unit (made in China) Where does it end?

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedI found out what the problem was, the entire building is down. NBN backbone issue, so it's not the ISP. Found a guy in the building that runs a mobile repeater business for buildings like this and he has official contacts with Telstra who say it's going to be down for the whole long weekend. Everyone in the building is struggling with phone access. He's going to put a proposal into strata (handily, that's me!) to install mobile repeaters in the building and also the basement carpark. I said I'll approve it.

Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Kate3015 @Mark_Butler_MP My thinking is different, I built many $100 mill ++ projects from a concept, there is a simple process that begins from the design, then the costing, then the services, then the providers, then the contact. In some cases, for Govt. I built the first NBN Site at Kiama, Conroy would not listen, Transfield lost $10 million, Conroy would not listen about a Satellite transmission for Central Aust. Fibre cannot travel long distances, Conroy blew $800 million on that alone, his original budget for NBN was $4.78 billion, a joke, & not one of the NBN management had never built a big network, I walked away, and waited, then moved back in.

Charlie ****** (@charlie_mi53959) reported@TheKouk Including child care, the ABC etc. is only the first bit of where you’re wrong. Even if you include them in your list, they don’t put a dent on white elephants like the NDIS, NBN, and not to mention all the lost tobacco reve— oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you were a retard. Carry on.

loksta!🗣 ❤️. . (@locky82903378) reported@ScreamyB0I @TheIshikawaRin Totally ridiculous to think they all be taking phones that don’t work no signal cell towers in space , no nbn internet cable for a router to plug into , no wi fi on board , the weight of the phones chargers cables etc x 4 is stoopid when every gram counts . Total sci fi nonsense
-
Weird Uncle Bob (@julerin8) reported@DavePhippen After 8 calls totalling 12 hours to NBN co and Telstra I found the magic key: Just say "Ombudsman" Service person arrived the next day and a new modem the same week.
-
OptoIsolated IO (@optoio) reported@eevblog Yeh its almost never the ISP. it's almost always the NBN. No opportunity for whipping up a Starlink on the roof? :P
-
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,
-
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.
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me
-
Andrew Mcnaught (@AndrewMcna12272) reported@KatyKray73 1/2 Now, Katy, you have to remember that Labor across the country is good at announcements. That they never carry them out is beside the point. In Qld Miles had a 'Labor back of coaster' (remember Rudd and NBN) idea that Labor would have state owned/run petrol stations.
-
ESG Sucks Capital (@rollingputcap) reported@thatboyyknows @AntipodeEmpire Why ******** would we want the ***** who can't even manage Snowy Hydro 2.0, the NBN or the NDIS to have more of a say in the mining industry?
-
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.
-
Carmel Fay (@CarmelFay) reported@robb_j_m Starlink. A satellite connection through the NBN in our rural area was a bit of a nightmare. Starlink is reliable, no limits on usage, and we never get throttled. I'll never go back.
-
kane (@kanethesaint) reported@eevblog Where is the NBN outage?
-
The Jawnz 🇦🇺 🇺🇸 ✝️ (@TheJawnzz) reported@aussi3dutchman @robb_j_m I did. It was in my pocket all along. For an extra $100 per year. I can have 120mb/s anywhere I go. Cancel your NbN. It’s a scam. 👍
-
Joey (@joeyonmac) reported@Krow23_ @NBN_Australia why the code is not working
-
paullyj57 FMD **** AUST (@paullyj57) reported@JH_Otway_Ranges @craigkellyAFEE we never needed an nbn . mobile phone for data was faster and cheaper. Now starlink is faster and cheaper again NBN is a 200 billion dollar disaster
-
Salvator Mundi (@thelostleonardo) reported@EnergyWrapAU NBN generates revenue and pays down its costs over time. How can you compare that to NDIS which is a huge ongoing cesspool of fraud and waste.
-
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.
-
My handle was funnier when it was less believable. (@AIproject6) reported@wilburston @robb_j_m I highly doubt any satellite service is better than NBN unless you're literally not in the coverage area.
-
Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported@comical_engr @EnergyWrapAU And the NDIS was created only a couple of months before the Abbott government was elected. The NBN had actually reached target per premises cost just as Abbott/Turnbull “paused” it. Their MTM system was ******** up.
-
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
-
LC ✝️ (@leeves_chou) reportedProof of occupancy – this document request is another interesting thing. To ensure the application is from a real resident at the property, NBN sometimes needs proof, like a lease contract or water bills that match the applicant's name and address. However, this process can really delay provisioning. ISPs can check if the LOC ID is empty and see that no service is connected; they could just sign the customer up. If there is an existing service and the name on file doesn’t match, send a message to the new customer that provisioning is stuck for xxx reason. If the name on file matches, they can just hook them up. The process could be so much easier!

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.

bek_lenin (@bek_lenin) reported@robb_j_m NBN is free, however the providers are the ones who charge. But the infrastructure itself has always been free. They upgraded our home for free, changed over faulty equipment, for free. As for price get about 300mbps DL for $80 a month. Not bad. Super reliable. Happy.
-
James Ladd (@jamesladd) reported@iinet is there an internet outage in Victoria (nbn)?
-
GR (@larrikinstreak) reported@robb_j_m NBN is free, the ISP is where the charges are and believe it or not it's customer support is why it costs much. The infrastructure costs are not the big cost.
