NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
peter rowe (@Prowerock1) reported@Martywa467 @VoteLewko @Starlink NBN faults are dealt with via the telcos. After four cancelled appointments by NBN after Telstra said it was an NBN issue ( it was), I bought a Telstra 5G router and threw out the NBN box. I would prefer Starlink but it has a congestion charge in our area of $700.
-
purana (@purana) reportedAll I want from an RSP is suitable communication on why the service cannot be connected, and the timeframe in which the condition stopping it from being connected resolved. How hard is it to get decent feedback from the NBN co processes.

Robert Wilson (@RobertW51136192) reported@Slav636 @ianclarkeAU True, but I lived in outer Melbourne all my adult life and we always had awful and expensive internet. I’ve moved even further out now, trying to escape people, and the NBN is life changing. Whether city people should be subsidizing us is a fair debate though

Spider Mother Gwen (@GwenMotherS) reportedlines we are tunning in the nbn these days AUSTRALIA SUCKS FOR INTERNET this has taken a big toll on my mental as i am now stressed out about debut having issues and ruining my hard work that i am trying to put into it sorry late message

Somebody SAVE pop music please (@jaykay287) reportedMy parents love NBN News, my sister and I love the rewind segment at the end of the Sunday bulletin. Moving NBN news to a half hour before the Sydney bulletin is a god damn joke.
-
paullyj57 FMD **** AUST (@paullyj57) reported@MrKRudd @AsiaSociety @AsiaSocietyJP 200 billion for nbn that is useless and no one uses. Iv been using mobile network for 15 years for data. Faster and cheaper than nbn. And now starlink which is even faster and unlimited fast data for $69 pm. Labor have mortgaged your kids future for votes. Frauds and corrupted
-
The Immaculate Deception (@DeceptionImmac) reported@QuentinDempster Good to see you're finally admitting that the NBN was a badly thought out brain fart from day one. And the Gumbyment needed someone like Elon to demonstrate to them the proper way to provide such a service over vast distqances. Good to know.
-
Nicole Lazarou🇦🇺🇮🇱✡️ (@nicole_lazarou) reported@QuentinDempster NBN sucks. Australia has third world internet. Starlink rocks. Loser.
-
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.
-
James Boman ⩟ (@JBoman32768) reported@techAU @BassonBrain @Starlink Its a real testament to how slow and overpriced limited in availability the NBN is.
-
Grant Mackenzie (@GrantMa24544383) reported@1Alboforpm Considering Labor designed the NDIS, Libs and Labs together gave us the NBN, Libs and Labs the submarine fiasco? How's the tax on tobacco going in stopping smoking as opposed to feeding organised crime? Pot / kettle Their sudden growth will result in messes, poor communication and confusion between newly formed members but their sudden growth is do to the F up by these 2 major parties. Oh... and ... Fire the Liar
-
Felipe Restrepo (@FelipeRestrepoE) reported@NBN_Australia Nobody seems able to answer a simple question. 80 Fig St, Pyrmont NSW 2009 has a network fault. I've tried 3 ISPs and keep getting passed around. Is NBN aware of the issue, and when will it be fixed? Three weeks without an internet connection...
-
Darren (@DoodyDarren) reported@the_vocal_one @ianclarkeAU @CovfefeDnUnder Of course it applies. I never said it didn't. How much detail would you like in a single X post? The OP is claiming the NBN is obsolete. It is nothing of the sort, and the bandwidth disparity is the entire reason why, and that isn't changing anytime soon, as you say.
-
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.
-
Ash Rodrigues 🐯🏆 🏆 🏆 (@a_rodrodrigues) reportedHi, when is the service going to be restored in Seven Hills, QLD. It's been more than 24 hours and we havent heard what the issue is. @NBN_Australia
-
Flick XX (@FlickFlaneuse) reported@Pine_Ghosts @GreensAU2 "with no mains electricity, gas, water, sewage, NBN, garbage, or medical facilities". You're talking rubbish. No one in need of alleged NDIS anything is living under those conditions. No one.
-
purana (@purana) reported@AussieWirraway Lucky you, can't even get my mum onto FTTN because of terrible network management by NBN co. They transitioned the street, but didn't think to keep capacity on FTTN for residents in units who cant get anything else..
-
Nano is green money🥦 (@alexjohnward) reported@rakeau @ianclarkeAU I have wireless nbn, it's pretty bad but much better than nothing. Starlink would maybe be cheaper and better but I think the price will go up so not switching just yet.
-
dexq (@qexdval) reportedTech illiterate idiots in this comment section is insane, if ur still getting low internet speeds with nbn installed ur likely not asking for the fttp upgrade which is free and ur paying the same per month sometimes even cheaper then ur avg fttn ect with deals, yes sometimes u cant get fttp installed but cases are slim and u only ever have to pay if ur 1. Getting business grade lines (which u wont need for the avg household) 2. If they have to actually install the lines which if u have pre existing lines then ur fine and wont need to pay which is the case for most, As for wifi its only really a user issue so many things can can contribute to a bad wifi connection Like Bad routers Damaged lines Interference (usually if u have ur router lined with a stud in the wall can contribute to this) but microwaves and emf interference can cause a bad wifi connection Some routers just need a simple setup properly rather then it being just default IF you’re internet provider says anything like ur ineligible immediately ask for a technician to come out and look as the internet provider company’s themselves don’t have the technology to see if you’re ineligible or not they might say they do but at best they only have surface level ****, my first 2/3 calls to the internet company’s themselves were “you’re ineligible” the 4th I asked for a technician to atleast have a look and he said and in quotes “this is piss easy to install what where they even telling you” they then relayed that to them and got this (photo attached) within the next couple of days with the fibre installed And I’ll add my circumstances which is why I think most will not have any issues • I live in ******** nowhere with a avg of 2/5k people with a outdated tower for the town • the house I’m currently in is roughly 80+ years old as far as I know it got built in 1945 (yes it did get re modernised but like surface level **** like up to date stove and redone walls and paint obviously) no rewiring Yes we got ****** by abbot so we had to deal with **** company’s like Telstra Optus selling a fttn scam for probably more than enough time but we have had fibre implementations for a while now so the wifi/internet connection excuse just isn’t there anymore maybe at the start but we are pretty close to having most of Australia on fttp or atleast attempting We are in no way as good as NZs and USAs fibre implementations but you should be getting perfectly fine wifi and speeds for the avg homes use no matter what you do and if u work from home and do any data transfer work.

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
-
SnowmanNFT (@NftSnowman) reported@NicFromOz They use Telstra wholesale network, coverage shouldn’t change from what you have now, 4G, no 5G, I have used them, changed to Superloop though, tied in with NBN plan for bundle discount.
-
Charlie (@charlietech) reported@gav_mck I ran into that with my uncle in Maleny. The crowding for Starlink meant no space. He has it now (waited in que like every1) but its why NBN are pushing their service to market asap with Amazon leo. At least you have options!!
-
malcolm angus (@malcolmangus1) reported@greghammo69 @DarcyAmaroo he is also imitating Abbott .No cuts to Pensions, educ or health NBN 25 megabytes per second by 2016? Linked pensions to wages growth not indexation !Did you scorn him too for his multiple broken promises ? they all do it
-
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.
-
Byron Spurling (@SpurlingByron) reported@NBN_Australia any update on service outage in Seven Hills/Norman Park in Brisbane, QLD? Your website is lagging and blaming a power outage for the issue. @Energex did their job, we had power back on within 4.5-5 hours, that was yesterday 16/06/26 Still waiting 27+ hours later…
-
JFK Whitlam (@JfkWhitlam) reportedThats ok Country Australia doesn't move so fast Nor seem to be in a rush to adopt NBN, Or Starlink... Oh Hang on Smart farming seems to be quite the, In thing Out in the bush Question is Which robotic company will be filling Labor shortages first
-
Ian Clarke (@ianclarkeAU) reported@GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic Not really sure what your point is. Mine is that the NBN is worthless. Flawed from the start. 5G / Starlink better for consumers. You now seem to agree. Glad to help.
-
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
-
Upside (@Antiwoke7777) reported@MrsS2023 We got sick of nbn and starlink has not let us down
-
birdof paradox (@birdof_paradox) reported@Olfella @FetchStep @Vikkik88 Australia's National Carrier should never have been privatised. Nor any of our other services infrastructure. Telstra was sold by, and the NBN ******-up by the Howard/Abbott/Turnbull govts (and Murdoch) so we could be ripped off and suffer the inferior services by private telcos.
