NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Ian Richards (@IanRichards8) reported@robb_j_m Terrible internet access, NBN stands for NO BLOODY NETWORK
-
Tze-wei Chong 🇦🇺🧢 (@Tze_C) reported@GeoffWilsonWAM @theAZtrader @ausgov Fully agree. Other than new property development which should still be benefit for housing supply. Poor structural reform that will impact future generations and brain drain Australia. Funding via NDIS / NBN restructure would have been far easier and more beneficial
-
Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@ItsMissShorty @robb_j_m When people refer to NBN/Internet as “WiFi” they’re absolutely Luddites or just too lazy to know what they have/need and don’t deserve any help from those who might.
-
Aus throttle (@austhrottle) reportedI usually hate most government spending, but sometimes they get things right. The inland rail was a good project. Cancelling the inland rail is a terrible decision. It is just as important as the NBN, and in this case there isn’t a foreseeable technology that will replace it in 10 years time. Rail is insanely energy and labor efficient compared to trucks. Trucks should only be used for end of journey in a well optimised system.

International League of Nations (@ILONations) reportedRemember: • The NBN cost blowouts • Murray-Darling billions • Bushfire reform promises • Previous “fuel security” fixes Big headlines don’t always mean structural problems get solved. #AusPol #Infrastructure #EnergySecurity
-
Chris Young (@Chyoung1) reported@SandyXiaotong Don't ever forget the NBN.....this fool decided that fibre to the house was stupid and uses old phone lines.....some people experienced dial up speeds! It's still be worked and now over $50 billion!
-
alex (@alexB00683977) reported@ShackelWill @JoSmith05406728 It’s Labor’s miserable ghost Turnbull who was in charge, same blowout happened with his other failure the NBN. If K Packer hadn’t provided his financial support which later he regretted Turnbull would be just another punter. Kerry had nothing good to say about him.

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.
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@AvidCommentator I have abandoned NBN. Service is atrocious as it is mediated through the Telcos. You can’t get to an NBN tech directly. They cancelled five appointments made for me via Telstra saying not an NBN problem. But it was just like the other three times. Now have Telstra 5 G. So simple
-
Kathy Mewton (@tatduckum) reported@Cranky_Old_Guy @aaronsmith I guess the huge debt Libs left , this will help . Explain how would you pay off the $1.2 B debt Libs left On top of that your buddies left $350 B AUKUS NDIS out of control NBN blowout Robodebt debt Snowy blowout $31 B Inland rail blowout I will wait for your solution
-
Stuart the Catman (@CatManSturty) reported@algorithmsayshi Seems to be a common issue with the NBA league pass and NBN providers sadly.
-
Ferrousoxide (@Ferrousoxi29174) reported@highbrow_nobrow @Acyn Can we put this charlatan on mute. His NBN fix was a disaster. His hydro scheme also a disaster. Shut up Malcom. You are clearly an imbecile.
-
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.
-
Jim Stewart (@jimboot) reported@eevblog @Aussie_BB Been on on Starlink maybe 5 years. I can remember one outage because of a Solarflare. Wireless NBN was every other day. Good old Govt again
-
💥Dr Robb 🎓Social conscience? Follow me. No MAGA (@robb_j_m) reportedTo my Aussie friends: Wasn't the idea behind the NBN (National Broadband Network) to ensure that everyone had access to free (or at the very least inexpensive) internet? What happened? How much are you paying for internet access?
-
RocK_M (@RocKM16827690) reported@fuIIcreamy @robb_j_m Nah sounds more like "Libs screwed me over but I'll blame NBN coz thats what Libs told me" issue since the poster is likely on the overpriced Wireless NBN which was half arsed on roll out That or just someone spouting **** to keep the whole NBN was a waste of money crap going
-
ComputerGoBrr (@ComputerGoBrr) reported@Teadaxs @robb_j_m The vast majority of third world internet infra is way better than nbn, perhaps a poor comparison
-
Tony Meman (@TonyMemandqvy) reported@cjoye Sell the NBN? Yeah because when we sold the electricity network, that worked out well for prices. Bringing CGT in line with tax on wages is going to be one of the fairest tax decisions made. Nothing will change otherwise businesses would have left for a tax haven already.
-
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
-
Mickamious (@MickamiousG) reportedWas there an issue with the 4G/5G network in Melbourne, Victoria today?? It seems as I got out of the CBD the network improved but within the metropolitan areas there was issues?? @Starlink at home seems to be operating fine - anyone have NBN issues?
-
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.
-
Gregory Briscoe-Hough (@GBH0100) reported@news_australian Snowy 22b.0 man has as much credibility as his NBN (no bloody network) rollout achievement… worst Monister ever!!

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 (@imdavo17) reported@TFyrd49376 @TobiSkovron Labor introduced the NDIS, LNP messed with it. Like a long list of things introduced by Labor, the LNP screws with it and we are forced to endure the **** show that follows. NBN? LNP screwed it so hard it cost 3x as much for inferior infrastructure.
-
blank (@olwidula) reported@robb_j_m Outside the urban centres, $139 a month for Starlink. NBN for me was a slow and expensive skymuster satellite. Thanks Elon.
-
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.
-
Baiaphilia (@baiaphilia) reportedWhat happened was what always happens when it's a project run by the government. It failed miserably, and went way over budget. The NBN was so bad I begged my provider to give me back my previous internet connection. But they couldn't because they forced them to shut it down.
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@M_McCormackMP @SkyNewsAust No Michael, that would be another stuff up by your deposed Crime Org catastrophe. The Deposed LNP Crime Org, have never been good at creating or building things: their only good at assett stripping & rorting things created by Labor Govts. Think Snowy Hydro 2 & Libs nobbling NBN
-
daniel (@daniel647543) reported@techAU @robb_j_m It didn't work for everyone. I'm 1.5km by road from my exchange and yet everyone here has ****** wireless NBN, which manages to be both more expensive and slower than Starlink, with somehow higher pings than sending a signal to space and back. Everyone has Starlink here now.

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.
