Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@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

Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, ACT@Telstra This is not much help as this has been going on for weeks so I suggest you contact the nbn and get this sorted thank you. Such failures around communication when dealing with the elderly some like my parents have no idea about this.

steve_outandabout (@Steve_Pesic) reported from Canberra, ACTEveryone giving scomo grief for leadership but the bosses from Telstra and NBN should be high on the list for poor leadership, thousands of people with no phones or internet, hours, days, weeks and months spent by people just trying to use a service in Australia in 2020...

Bridget Tilley (@bridgettilley) reported from Canberra, ACTHi @Telstra I just received a robo call telling me my internet will be disconnected today to fix a problem ( I don’t have a problem). I’m an @iiNet customer with @NBN_Australia in Belconnen area Canberra. Could you pls advise ?

Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, ACT@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.

Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@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

Lindsay (@Lindday8) reported from Canberra, ACT@Telstra NBN speed slow and dropping out in Flynn act is there issue
-
BlackStar (@ThylacinusC) reported from Canberra, ACTSo the technician temporarily fixed our NBN today. He said it was the modem (it wasn't as I used my other modem and it was the same issue). Now the internet is down again. Why are we paying so much for faulty, unreliable internet? #Telstra #nbn

Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTHFC 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.
-
Dave Hall aka Not Funny (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, ACTHey @andy_penn why won’t you fix phone lines in fire effected areas that will only get satellite NBN? These areas used to have decent ADSL. People can’t sign up for satellite because it’s over subscribed. Looking forward to your field team fixing this.

Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, ACT@Angela60650391 @juliemonry @ABCaustralia With NBN there isn't even that need anymore. I have been receiving gov updates via my mobile phone provider not the ABC at all. All commercial broadcasters ate required to provide community service announcements. Their is no longer a need for the ABC.
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTGuarantee #NBN have the latency and packet loss data on its microwave links. They have it @AUSenator . It's basic Network management

Steve Smith (@Tikkaspecial) reported from Canberra, ACT@Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.

Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTHow can #NBN claim its own last mile design doco for Fttx is CiC (CommercialInConfidence).Half of it has been leaked already & who else is going to build out a national network in Australia 🤔 Playing hard ball with FOI constantly, need a big stick. @NBN_Australia @OAICgov
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTPoor capacity management at the #nbn drop in tent at #CanberraShow by @NBN_Australia - already out of #StressBalls Totally devo 🤣😂😂😂 Not surprised that NBN keeps on disappointing
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@NBN_Australia @UncleAl60932514 Tweak plans = poor Project management = ad-hoc mess. #nbn
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@DonWestley1 @TheCalebBond @theMickMorris @SkyNewsAust @Foxtel Yep, you will probably find I have tweeted that video a few times already ;) It must be tricky to do a story for SkyNews on the #NBN without loosing you job by blaming the Libs - words were carefully chosen to make the entire NBN concept look bad...it's not, obviously.
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTIf I was NZ I would do the same thing! Rub our lazy Au Netflix binging faces in the fact we settled for a third rate access network #nbn @MRowlandMP @SenatorFifield @AUSenator
-
HG (@hgo7627) reported from Canberra, ACT@JmarrMarr Apparently we now can — by engaging @NBN_Australia to provide fibre to the home. Because of my crap service I got a quote. Sadly, I won’t get my crap service improved — quote was more than $5k.

Bernadette Carbin (@BeCarbin) reported from Canberra, ACT@AusIndiMedia Your NBN couldn’t be that slow could it??

David Collins (@Errol5870) reported@australian People have already forgotten another of his past failures “The National Broadband Network”, NBN for short…
-
nbn® Australia (@NBN_Australia) reported@Peter_Strachan During an unplanned outage on the nbn network we keep your service provider up to date on all available updates like estimated restoration times and details of what's being done to fix the outage itself. As soon as we have any updates, we'll let your service provider know. 1/2

Berry Straw 🍓 (@ddnnddc) reportedACMA 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.

WTF-UCantBSerious (@Whoyacallin) reported@SkyNewsAust Can someone in your office ask Bolt to stop being soooooooooooo GLIB when he has a guest or is questioning and if he could piss that imbecile Steven Conroy He's a failed Minister with the NBN if I remember and is still an idiot!
-
Kang Li (@aphacia) reported@NBN_Australia no NBN service in Cherrybrook 2126 from this morning there has been HFC replacement recently nearby was it because the project missed cutting the HFC cable for internet then caused the unplanned outage and when it is back?
-
SydneyCityTV (@SydneyCityTV) reportedPersonally, I still reckon Jane Goldsmith should be included in the mix as Nine have continued to give her network fill-in roles even after the announcement that NBN is going to WIN. Jayne Azzopardi you'd think, is more likely to fill-in for Sarah Abo as co-presenter of Today.
-
Andrew Mcnaught (@AndrewMcna12272) reported@KatyKray73 1/2 Now, Katy, you have to remember that Labor across the country is good at announcements. That they never carry them out is beside the point. In Qld Miles had a 'Labor back of coaster' (remember Rudd and NBN) idea that Labor would have state owned/run petrol stations.
-
𝒮𝒽❀𝓇𝓉𝓎 (@ItsMissShorty) reported@osborne_sam @robb_j_m Not your reply. Weirdos be replying to me, then blocking me before I can even reply. What in the actual ****? Semantics. I don’t need NBN. Or any kind of home wifi service. My mobile data suffices.
-
Lilen (@Lilens) reported@chopwisegamji @BobBurn97207272 No infrastructure build is complete lie though, what about West Connex and Bruce highway. Upgrade on Adelaide Hospital, Footscray hospitals and NBN ( never liked it) all done during last 29 years. And don’t forget labour sold of remaining Telstra ownership on 2011!! Come at me

Max Rockatansky (@MaxRock222) reported@AvidCommentator Just like the nbn It never made sense But for their other reasons they went ahead with the rort
