  🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reported 3 minutes ago

  Just spent 1.5hrs with my ISP figuring out why my NBN had died. He (from Indian, a nice chap) put me through hoops & then said that the NBN box is faulty but can't get a tech out till next Tue. Then a light bulb moment hit me & said, what if I look at the metre box - sure enough, something had tripped the circuit in the room the NBN is hooked up to. I just didn't need the added stress. Then he had the hide to ask me to 'rate his service'. Yeah - nah!

  JFC 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

  @NBN_Australia It always does this. I shouldn't have to use a different device. I work in IT and have tried it on 46 laptops and 23 phones. Literally went into the pit on the street and took out all the NBN cabling as the NBN never works so Im now im with another company and couldnt be happier

  @mrru5s3ll @LCHF_Matt @pikkkkaro this is the only decent explanation for what he said that could make sense. the only other way is if his NBN is unstable. because if you have a gigabit connection you need a router capable of it and they all have fine wifi by aus standards , which I would argue is **** but w/e

  @Someozbloke @deniseshrivell That's good in your circumstance. But it has been reported by others. I was more addressing why NBN is not a waste. The reason you still hear about it these days having issues is because of LNP screwing it up with a mixed technology approach. FTTP does not have these drawbacks.

  @Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?

  Now almost 5 hours into NBN being out for an unknown reason... Pretty pathetic tbh As such videos of Trade Targets and Team Reveals might be slow and late getting out

  I just found out RCS (rich communication services) isn't available in Australia thanks to @Optus @Telstra @NBN_Australia WTF seriously

  So the FTTN service that had been supposedly canceled is now working. @VodafoneAU claimed it was my modem. I'm using that same modem/router connected to the NBN fibre optic. Either it's a miracle or something broken got fixed.

  ACMA 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.
