NBN Issues Reports Near Canberra, ACT
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Canberra and nearby locations:
-
Allan Behm (@Mirandaprorsus) reported from Canberra, ACT@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.
-
💧 Elias Hallaj (@Elias_Hallaj) reported from Canberra, ACTAustralia 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
-
Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, ACT@theoztrucker The subs don't make a lot of sense and the NBN was always a disaster, a Rolls Royce limo instead of a bus service. The Snowy I don't know, seems to make sense. The fighter aircraft are necessary but not themselves. They are for reasons no one wants to voice.
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@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
-
Verner Verass (@VernVerass) reported from Canberra, ACT@mephistojones Mephisto ~ the NBN is intentionally sub-standard: The original model of fibre to the premises will need to be retro-fitted ~ the NBN requires a rebuild to meet world standard service delivery.

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
-
Trivalve (@TVofCarringbush) reported from Canberra, ACT@CharlieKeegan1 @masonsixtencox Maybe they should get a few kegs and fix the NBN while they're at it!
-
Adam (@sargentsarto) reported from Queanbeyan, New South Wales@mrbargearse @PuntHubAus The issue is the poor level that the NBN brings in country areas.. it is simply ordinary. Pay for 100% get less than 1% in peak periods. This is the issue for the streaming argument. The infrastructure is woeful.

Gaz 🖖 (@garydlum) reported from Canberra, ACT@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) reported from Canberra, ACTHey @Kynes3 - your notification announcement time and customer service is better than @NBN_Australia - posted 48 mins ago
-
Cherelle Murphy (@cherellemurpfry) reported from Canberra, ACTNBN capacity lifted to help those who can work from home to do so.
-
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.
-
The Grumpy Gamer (@TheGrumpyGamer1) reported from Canberra, ACTI 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!
-
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.
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@czuio @NBN_Australia @Deborah_ONeill I could see no reason why it couldn't for exactly the point you make. You could also simplify it and include a UNI-V like port for a voice service (VoDSL) and a simple diagnostic page to indicate line sync etc. @NBN_Australia need to consolidate the end point to simplify it
-
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...
-
Bernadette Carbin (@BeCarbin) reported from Canberra, ACT@AusIndiMedia Your NBN couldn’t be that slow could it??
-
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
-
Stephen Collins (@trib) reported from Canberra, ACT@paulestorey @NBN_Australia I'll be on FTTC, so I'm hopeful. Congestion shouldn't be an issue.
-
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.

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.

𝚁 𝚊 𝚐 𝚒 𝚗 𝚐 (@lRagingI1) reported@MalFPS_ Australian internet isn’t bad anymore. Your probs still on fibre to the node. Gotta search your address on the nbn site and get that free fttp update
-
Ezzeddine | عزالدين (@ezzh_) reported@m1nhaxo That’s nbn for you it’s garbage
-
RoverDownUnder (@AJG71) reported@Adam_Creighton @DrCameronMurray This is what happens when you outsource what should be a government service to the private sector. Profit motive kicks in as do rorts & fraud. Also see the Unemployment Services, Housing, NBN etc. It isn't the scheme itself, it's the people who run it.
-
/. Gwynne (@gwynne007) reported@analyticflying Meh, this time next year! I had a **** fight with them 6 months ago taking 2 months to upgrade the NBN from 50 to 500 (change of billing systems)
-
WALLY BENCIC (@wpbencic) reported@Neety55 @45FirstLady Yes she did!and wasn’t it a joy to watch! That Conroy is such a smart arse arrogant prick! Made a disaster of the NBN rollout! These fools are never held accountable for disastrous blowouts in costs! Turnbull’s snowy 2 another great example!
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedFormer Prime Minister Tony Abbott should go over and support the US and Israel himself. We won't forget the NBN.
-
The Lord (@lord_tizza) reportedAnd Telstra support said it was a fault, after a hour and a half of trouble shooting. I checked NBN and looks like a service outage in our area - checked a couple of addresses in our road. How long do these usually take to resolve? I was looking forward to a good long weekend :(
-
Ryan Emery (@ryanremery) reportedSigned up with @VodafoneAU 2 weeks ago for FTTP. My internet then stopped working. @VodafoneAU customer service claimed existing FTTN had been canceled. @NBN_Australia says no. Got FTTP today. Now receiving my "cancelled" FTTN and not FTTP 500MBS I requested 2 weeks ago.

Whimsical🇦🇺 (@whimsical523456) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@JEChalmers You aren't creating any new private sector jobs. You aren't even investing in the private sector with public companies anymore. The last one was the ****** NBN a full generation ago now. ***** sake! Found some ******* publically owned companies and show you actually ******* support growing the economy. AND GET RID OF CGT AND INCOME TAX! Hike the GST if you need to keep the revenue the same.
