Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@delpjm @sando88 @Snow_Crash @WirelessDuck @NickRossTech @NickITGuy @Kynes3 @boyter @playswithf1re @BrowntownBrew And the lower density and further reach requirements for Australia is the REASON to use last mile deep fibre networks. If I had a dollar everytime I had to defend that stupid excuse ...#nbn

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
-
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

Cherelle Murphy (@cherellemurpfry) reported from Canberra, ACTNBN capacity lifted to help those who can work from home to do so.
-
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
-
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!
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACTQuote 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
-
Steve Smith (@Tikkaspecial) reported from Canberra, ACT@Optus NBN down this morning. Website reports no issues at 2911.
-
Josh Withers (@JoshuaWithers) reported from Canberra, ACT@jendudley @eliotharper In the months before we were allowed to switch, NBN staff told me that we were already on the NBN network, they would change everyone slowly, then once all were converted, you could switch.
-
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 ?
-
alex dunnin (@AlexDunnin) reported from Canberra, ACT@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.
-
Lindsay (@Lindday8) reported from Canberra, ACT@Telstra NBN speed slow and dropping out in Flynn act is there issue
-
Trivalve (@TVofCarringbush) reported from Canberra, ACT@CharlieKeegan1 @masonsixtencox Maybe they should get a few kegs and fix the NBN while they're at it!
-
Technorants (@Technorants) reported from Canberra, ACT@jakegriffiths @NBN_Australia @SenatorFifield @MRowlandMP @AUSenator Only three weeks ago you say - consistency is pretty bad from @NBN_Australia #NotSurprised #ausvotes
-
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...
-
Ian McLeod (@ianpmcleod) reported from Canberra, ACT@Deligracy No, this is closely guarded but what is wisely known is classifying the NBN as a commercially entity, to keep it off the national books (making them look better) means nodes are up to 500m distant. Upgrading to fibre won't fix NBN pricing (congestion) as a result either.
-
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

Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, ACT@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.
-
Annie Martin AM (@MartinAnne139) reported from Canberra, ACTDear @Telstra I would like to say a big thank you to the staff member who rang my 91 yr old Dad and 89 yr old Mum and informed them they would be turning off their service Re them not understanding the NBN. This is unacceptable contact me thanks

-
Toe-knee (@yourmama717) reported@NBN_Australia That’s understandable however there were basically no updates from nbn over long periods (12+ hours) throughout the outage. What the hell are nbn doing? How is the network so poorly designed that an outage for an entire suburb lasts 26 hours???!!???!
-
Therealstevethebeast150 (@Therealsteveth1) reported@7NewsSydney Well, it would help if builders didn’t put the NBN box in the ******* cupboard,
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@Qldaah If only Media Militia had gone Full Fibre to the cesspit, instead of opting for snail paced Copper NBN, they'd know that "discovery" was only a new find, mid last century & rejected as unviable, of poor quality & limited in supply.
-
RealityPartyAustralia (@PartyReality) reported@JEChalmers What a goose you are @JEChalmers . Just like old @SwannyQLD who sent a broke in the GFC. We live the nightmare now of the NDIS, NBN, net zero and a parasite public service of red tape. We are broke & going off a cliff under this incompetent, corrupt treacherous Labor government.
-
Ezzeddine | عزالدين (@ezzh_) reported@m1nhaxo Paying $120 a month for 750 mbps but we’ve been only getting 150-300 on a good day because of this garbage nbn And they won’t send us a new modem we’ve had this one for 10 years now through 5 different houses
-
bob (@BrettS69) reported@EnergyWrapAU @BhagsNStonks The NBN lacked a clear business case, and tried to deliver a Singapore solution to a geographically different Australia. The future was wireless.
-
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.

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.
-
James the 2nd (@JamesII4824) reported@disco___cat @jason_king72 GST is fine ( Keating wanted it at first ). I didn't even mention the damage he did to the housing market with his CGT discount. No government sold out future generations to the Boomers like Howard's. And Abbott sucked - NBN vandal and climate vandal.

Dave Jones (@eevblog) reportedNow tweeting from my lab machine again with very basic Optus 5G internet. Will have to upload video and stuff from home, but otherwise I'm kinda functional again. No idea when NBN/Telstra will restore the connection, it's been 3 days already so I assume it's very bad. Today is Sunday and tomorrow is another public holiday.
