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

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.

💧Dave Lazzari (@fenham) reported from Queanbeyan, New South Wales@SwannyQLD @colleenhm They will never admit to making a real *****-up of the #NBN and that they spitefully screwed it because it's never been a #LibNat strength to improve things like national infrastructure. All they see is money being spent with no obvious benefits. They suffer from extreme myopia
-
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.
-
Ian (@Ian__P) reported from Canberra, ACT@ajamesbragg @AlboMP I'd raise the issue of #NBN advertising which seems wasteful and pointless given they aren't retailing to consumers directly.
-
David Bond (@drdavebond) reported from Canberra, ACT@RodericChambers I think they must have the #NBN here, the network is somewhat slow
-
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.
-
Cherelle Murphy (@cherellemurpfry) reported from Canberra, ACTNBN capacity lifted to help those who can work from home to do so.
-
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.

Clark Greenaway🇦🇺 (@ClarkGreenaway) reported from Canberra, ACT@toadmeister @guardian Sorry Toby, you are being mislead by the Guardian as usual. Netflix states you need 5Mbs for HD quality viewing. Every Australian on the NBN has at least 10Mbs connection. The ALP stated the NBN would cost $40 billion dollars not $15 and it was never going to happen for that.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Garth Morrison (@garth_morrison) reported from Queanbeyan, New South Wales@NBN_Australia Response from NBN - ‘Go to your service provider’ 🙄 They’ve been on it for months guys. You’re the hold up.
-
💧 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

Travis (@TravGee1980) reported from Canberra, ACT.@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

Dave Hall aka Not Funny (@skwashd) reported from Canberra, ACT@gusworldau @NBN_Australia It’s frustrating when you know more about the problem than the person copying and pasting boilerplate yet you’re powerless to fix it.
-
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
-
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.

Fix the planet: be progressive - 🇵🇸 (@Boom_ThatHurt) reported@boganintel @AlboMP It's infuriating the situation this govt has got us into by not having any backbone WSE There has been no nation building since the NBN and Abbott wrecked that So many plans that could be implemented but nothing except a moronic sub deal that sucks $B out of the economy for what?
-
💧☘️Rhona - Bluesky: rhonae (@bensab3) reported@james00000001 Yes, and another good reference would be the NBN! Oh, Gonski,NDIS 1 Labor introduces excellent policies to assist, costed7designed - lies&falseScareCampaigns getCoalition elected&immediately they tear down/interfere &alter, to point the policy fails and they happily blame Labor

Alexandra Online 💅 (@AlexandraOn1ine) reportedSTILL NO WIFI T-T I called my provider and their solution was.... wait for the nbn to do their thing 🥹
-
Scarab (@ScarabOfficial) reportedWow... #Starlink have dropped their price to around 1/10th of what it was, to try to attract customers in Australia, who are mainly, of course, on the #NBN. And for the first four months it's even cheaper than that, during their current promotion. Just a shame it's so slow.
-
✨ Immo ✨ 🫧🌠 (@Immo____) reported@Zadow_ @YaseiDoubutsu I could never handle wireless that stuff drives me crazy but YES this is exactly it haha I just got it from JB while on an Ethernet cable run to hopefully solve an NBN dropping out issue
-
OptoIsolated IO (@optoio) reported@eevblog Yeh its almost never the ISP. it's almost always the NBN. No opportunity for whipping up a Starlink on the roof? :P
-
Tony D (@tonydpoison) reported@Slackonbothsydz NBN. Treach was a problem.
-
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.
-
Jay Jay (@JayJay1094727) reported@eevblog Seems like NBN is pushing down stream providers to jump off 5G to NBN. Which sucks because it’s stifling competition and providing a worse service at a more expensive price
-
John Cas (@moresunshine_1) reported@eevblog I had a client - I/net not working. Discovered it was the whole building. 2 NBN tech, different calls: we can't fix it. I got the building mgt to show me the "gear" in the basement room. The power supply was cold. Checked power board. We flicked a breaker on that was off. Win!
