Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Canberra and nearby locations:

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @NBN_Australia @naomi_t_81 Honestly after you add up all the work required to retrofit the last 1000m of old Telstra phone cabling and fixing issues with customer cabling it becomes much more expensive than the original project scope of fibre to 93% without the constant maintenance bill #nbn

  • Elias_Hallaj 💧 Elias Hallaj (@Elias_Hallaj) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Australia is drowning, rather than surfing, thanks to ScoMo’s LNP. “... after spending $51 billion on a second-rate obsolete network the Coalition government’s plan for the NBN has been a total failure”. #AusPol

  • AlexDunnin alex dunnin (@AlexDunnin) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @DendyCanberra big problems with the movie system tonite. It’s like they’re streaming it thru a dodgy NBN connection and the buffering is on dial-up. So bad they’ve just rebooted the system. Extraordinary.

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @NBN_Australia @UncleAl60932514 Tweak plans = poor Project management = ad-hoc mess. #nbn

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Guarantee #NBN have the latency and packet loss data on its microwave links. They have it @AUSenator . It's basic Network management

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @StevensAsh @DavidSo24895212 Yes Labor did say $41b to build their gold plated NBN. Of course they never built it so we don't know how much it really would have cost. The LNP version was cheaper yet has cost a lot more. I'm certain if Labor had built their version it would have been over $100B.

  • DesignLindsay Christian Lindsay (@DesignLindsay) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @NBN_Australia I rely on the internet for my design business The lack of reliable service puts my income and ability to service customers at risk I'd appreciate a plan to fix the issue. One obvious step is to relocate to a closer pit

  • drdavebond David Bond (@drdavebond) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @RodericChambers I think they must have the #NBN here, the network is somewhat slow

  • ClarkGreenaway Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @BawdenSnoek I don't mind, sometimes I hang on until I get a real person after such calls about Telstra or NBN. Then I call them thieves and liars until they hang up.

  • TheGrumpyGamer1 The Grumpy Gamer (@TheGrumpyGamer1) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    I cannot wait till our NBN connection goes live!!! Hopefully only a few more weeks of this crap. And if anyone wants to share this with The Signal Co, go nuts, cause apparently I’m a rude and difficult to deal with, so they’ve blocked me on Twitter!

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @peter_c_william @RichardTuffin @NBN_Australia Project Management failure at all levels. Including piss poor contractor management. You could have the best tools available (aka Engineers) and still use them incorrectly...#nbn

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @jakegriffiths @NBN_Australia @SenatorFifield @MRowlandMP @AUSenator Only three weeks ago you say - consistency is pretty bad from @NBN_Australia #NotSurprised #ausvotes

  • TravGee1980 Travis (@TravGee1980) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    .@HankJongen @Telstra uses this technology. I have made 19 calls to them since August 2018 about reconnecting our work landline and cancelling #NBN They have a record of 3. This is not about improving customer service. It's about compliance & surveillance. #Auspol #Satanlink

  • garydlum Gaz 🖖 (@garydlum) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @benny_132 @horrorfan4129 @Telstra Thanks. I've been waiting on hold. I will hang up and get on with my day. I feel sorry for people relying on #nbn for their livelihood when these things happen.

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Quote from @NBN_Australia" One of the challenges nbn has identified are premises that are located too far away from existing nbn™ network assets- Fibre to the Node Cabinet (typically where copper lines exceed 1.3km)" Talk about a no #nbn shit statement

  • Ctl_Alt_Del CtlAltDel (@Ctl_Alt_Del) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    Crap NBN #PromiseOfAustralia

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    HFC is a black hole - you can't model a national communications network off what a commerical entity has done overseas #nbn There objective is to keep it above water.

  • Technorants Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @peter_c_william @NickRossTech Wonder if he actually engages with the key stakeholders - ie The Australian Public! #nbn So over @NBN_Australia pathetic excuses and covering for the poor decisions of the last 7 years. No wonder many jumped ship when the cards were on the table

  • trib Stephen Collins (@trib) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @paulestorey @NBN_Australia I'll be on FTTC, so I'm hopeful. Congestion shouldn't be an issue.

  • Mirandaprorsus Allan Behm (@Mirandaprorsus) reported from Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

    @mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews Have endured weeks of very slow NBN speed, < 6 Mbps. The techo came, opened the Telstra pit to find 60 yr old copper encased in lead, and broken wires. So much for Tinkering Turnbull’s fibre to the node.

NBN Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 80sbabeeAngel ✝ Megan 🎄 (@80sbabeeAngel) reported

    Someone said their house burnt down & they needed new nbn equipment and they told him to turn it on and off to see if that works. His house burnt down lol now my mum phone is down again wish she would change to Telstra already

  • EthicalAdviser Steve Putt (@EthicalAdviser) reported from Brisbane, State of Queensland

    After telling the optus chat line that my house had burned down and that I had tried repeatedly to get the nbn cancelled (which I am still paying for), she asked me, and I kid you not, if I had tried turning it off and turning it back on again. I…I don’t know how to answer.

  • j8n77 nb88 (@j8n77) reported

    @beourmate is there a NBN outage in carlton NSW today? My connection seems to dropping every few minutes

  • hairypoofta barefoot poofta ☣️ (@hairypoofta) reported

    @DodoAustralia Your sales staff are underhanded. I rang yesterday and signed up for NBN. I explicitly said I wanted it to start on 21 December. He confirmed this. Within minutes I get email saying service up and running and my card charged. Not happy at all. Very deceitful

  • Benny_Mitch Benny Mitchell (@Benny_Mitch) reported

    @iiNet @NBN_Australia FTTP upgrades have been available for over a year, I’ve been eligible for 8+ months and my FTTN is so degraded I don’t even know what im paying for! You have offically lost a 15+ year customer today! Thanks for leaving your existing customers with crap!

  • CatgirlFingies Catgirl With a Camera 📷🐱 (@CatgirlFingies) reported

    Great. My neighbours gonna start problems with the nbn people installing fibre. She said "what if my child falls into the hole" it's like a small line to install cable lmao.

  • yiota29 Patty 🪐 (@yiota29) reported

    Re installing the witcher 3 on my ps5 has been an absolute palaver. Forgot how much content there was. ****** nbn doesn't help. Ah well it'll be worth it in the end #TheWitcher3NextGen #TheWitcher3

  • joannamuses Joanna Holman (@joannamuses) reported

    @RowanJQuigley @Internode Thank you. Did eventually reach someone tonight. They were lovely but couldn’t solve the problem. Hopefully the NBN tech they’ve booked will have more luck

  • moylecroft Matthew Moyle-Croft (@moylecroft) reported

    @manaz_d @Aussie_BB @NBN_Australia It’s a rhetorical question from me really. NBN don’t care about the end residential user / we’re a massive inconvenience to them. You can see it with the SAU stuff. They want our money and a monopoly but don’t want to bother with service quality or anything like that.
