NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rain (@AussieBromo) reported$58.10 is Aussie Broadband's "special 6 months price". For 25mbps down, 10mbps up... Meanwhile Amaysim's offer is $30 a month for 6 months. It's so retarded. The NBN/gov should be ashamed of themselves. Cost of access is way too high and it's causing ridiculous market behaviour.
-
Nikki Austin's Aussiegirl 💖 Love Hank & Elvis (@AbAussieGirl) reported@optus_help why does the Internet NBN keep dropping out in Baulkham Hills it's been doing it since last night around 7 pm non-stop every five minutes now it won't reconnect is there an outage please tell me ?

robert sherwood (@Cranky_ole_man) reportedWIN NEWS WHICH REPLACED NBN NEWCASTLE IS A **** SHOW,NO LOCAL SPORT NO LOCAL NEWS ,WILL WATCH CH 7

Matthew L (@FunBrainFarts) reported@ALeighMP ALP never grows anything they just blow bubbles and then it pops then people left to pick up the pieces. Always only a matter of time. I don’t know how it is possible but every time. From recession we had to have. NBN fiscal bomb to NDIS.
-
Daniel (@VoteLewko) reported@mich___l @2GB873 That doesn't help the thousands of homes who are still without NBN many years and many billions of dollars later.

Spicy Ice (@SpicyIce7) reported@itsShyver I have infact joined and on Saturday the 13th i will finally have internet again only taken 7 months for the nbn here to fix my internet

IAN KIRKWOOD (@ianattheherald) reported@strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc

Michael Ryan (@mickr62) reported@optus_help hi. I have had an issue with your sales chat team putting me on the wrong NBN plan
-
Alastair Taylor (@tayser82) reported@OperationalInc1 Whenever the NBN low-earth orbit satelitte service kicks off (Amazon's burgeoning network), the backup should switch to that. Aside from some parts of inner Perth/Melb/Syd/Bris, all of the rail network is on the surface and will be able to uplink, I would have thought.
-
Titch Ashen (@titchashen) reported@deniseshrivell fair point. In the rush for shiny new com tech the way we did it not always the best. NBN now means those of us with land lines cannot call 000 in a power blackout, or net outage. Before NBN we could. that dont make news much either,

Sista Cate Ruth ♿ (@SistaRuthDOPD) reportedOur NBN is on the fritz so our ISP has thrown us back to 4G. My med prescriptions have somehow been ballsed up. The $160 monitor we had to get for our cat isn't working. It never ends. Why is it so hard? And I wonder, why can't anyone just do their jobs competently any more?
-
Michael🧙 (@mich___l) reported@sofewcharacters @VoteLewko @2GB873 Yes it is, but Starlink is terrible in cities, built up areas, and areas with lots of tree cover. It degrades pretty significantly in bad weather. It would also be terrible with a cities worth of people connected..... network congestion is a problem for satelite solutions (similar to the mobile network). Getting rid of the nbn network would be a monumentally bad idea.
-
Bruno (@brusamiok) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink If Australia’s state-owned NBN Sky Muster satellite network becomes completely obsolete compared to Starlink, the entire country becomes dependent on the decisions of a private, foreign corporation.
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@RobertW51136192 @Slav636 The cross subsidy is exactly the point. NBN was never the right solution for outer suburbs.
-
rose saltman (@Napoleonspiano) reported@NBN_Australia @therealjme5h Yes, but how long will I be without service? 3 hours and counting.
-
Wal (@wally_waldo83) reported@colonelhogans By that logic, if you’re anti Coalition hand back your tax cuts, roads, defence, the NBN and every service they funded. Governments administer public services they don’t own them.
-
Andrew (@asphotos) reportedYou’re not trying to do remote IT support to the mother in law on their stupidly slow 12/1mbps NBN FTTC plan 4hrs drive away and it keeps dropping you out? Sad! **ARGHHH
-
Nicole Lazarou🇦🇺🇮🇱✡️ (@nicole_lazarou) reported@QuentinDempster NBN sucks. Australia has third world internet. Starlink rocks. Loser.
-
Brian Smith (@sm59589971) reported@BiteSizedMediaX The Howard Costello government also left a future fund which is something like $240 billion now. Labour are eyeing that off, I wonder if they’ve already broken into it. Rather than just paying into it, they bought out NDIS, Nbn, all these other green BS things.
-
rob2511 (@KymRob25112) reported@anthony45052793 No NBN...never will be...
-
Rayyan Ahmed (@ruhejanaa) reported@Teh_Jkr @Optus @Optus I have 5 services with Optus and have been a customer for 12 years. My NBN internet has been really poor, yet I’m charged full price with no real offer. As soon as I get time from my busy life, I’ll be switching all my services.
-
Jen Dudley-Nicholson (@jendudley) reportedFour days with no NBN. We were promised a fix today but the 4G network fell over from overuse instead. Thinking about investing in puppets and more paper books.
-
WhatYouThinkIThink 🇦🇺♥️🇺🇦 🔴🟡⚫️ 🇮🇱🇵🇸 (@WhatYouThinkIT1) reported@ianclarkeAU Now explain how Starlink is going to remove the latency of the speed of light to/from LEO and then transmission from ground stations compared to fibre? Max bandwidth Starlink: 310/44mbps (down/up). NBN FTTP: 2Gbps/500Mbps. Wireless/Wifi/Satellite will always be slower.
-
Paul Barby (@PaulJBarby) reported@AGLEnergy internet has been down for 14+ hours. HFC NBN, hard-wired setup, two known-working routers tested, cables changed, NBN box reset. Router sends PPPoE PADI but gets no PADO, so this is failing before login/auth. Please stop looping basic Wi-Fi scripts and escalate to NBN
-
Lyndsey Jackson (@ok_lyndsey) reported@NationalFarmers @NBN_Australia @AlboMP Guess how much we spent on the ten base stations on the ground? An eye watering amount that is symptomatic of the grift that went into the building of the network. We *should* have an inquiry. We probably won't bother though.
-
Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported@ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder The NBN cannot do it now, but the optic fibres it uses can. Only the gear at either end changes. There is not a wireless system in existence that could carry the existing load of the NBN, let alone future needs. Talk to a network engineer, please.
-
Jmaes (@therealjme5h) reported@NBN_Australia St Clair 2759, when is service due to be online??
-
Max Revelation (@MaximilPlan3t) reported@GregNordo @AllBiteNoBark88 I just had another go with Optus. Literally no internet during peak hrs. Their NBN is unbelievably bad, even my business plan was dropping out 20 times a day. Aldi it is.....
-
Rob White (@RobWhiteEsp) reported@RennickGBR @RobbieBarwick How much Starlink get because the NBN sucks *****?
-
purana (@purana) reportedSuperloop is the 3rd RSP. Let's see if I can get more details out of them tomorrow on what path/route of the FTTN is a problem. NBN co seriously can't manage a raffle in a pub.
