Daniel Rose (@dgr_dgr) reported from Cairns, Queensland@HansOrph @deccles26 @NBN_Australia @Foxtel NBN outages is one of the reasons I selected @VodafoneAU for my NBN provider. 4G backup kicks in automatically if the network falls over. Worth considering changing to them if you need/want seamless internet

SLAV (@therealslav84) reported from Cairns, Queensland@Halit95429397 @Foxtel I was a customer for over 15 years. After 15 years due to my travel forgot to pay my account I was 1 day late. No empathy no care and would not drop the late fee. So I cancelled. That was full Platinum IQ4, with 4 boxes and nbn. Their reply.... we dont care,

Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, Queensland@roastthekipfler @AusIndiMedia My NBN service over the last 3 or 4 days has been very poor. I did try G4 a while back but that wasn't very consistent either. I am waiting for the arrival of G5 in my area in the hope that may actually work as advertised.

Kate Cunningham (@KateHamilton88) reported from Cairns, QueenslandLet me guess @Telstra you want me to call your incompetent staff again... HOW ABOUT FIX THE PROBLEM NOW!!!! 2000236045330 otherwise I'm taking my 2 mobiles (BYO), NBN and foxtel to another provider..
-
Granville#AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, Queensland@jonesy2794 @TwitterSupport I feel lucky as a restart of the phone seems to have fixed it for now. Or I could just blame NBN as I have also gone to the mobile network.

Granville #AussieResister (@Granville4879) reported from Cairns, Queensland@TurnbullMalcolm @rhysam I have to assume you are speaking out of ignorance of technology. PSTN is cat 3 copper with a theoretical maximum of 10 Mbps. And voice calls over my NBN connection are such poor quality we mostly cannot understand the majority.

Jake Reid (@jakemreid) reported from Cairns, Queensland@LalitaMathias @JoshFrydenberg @SkyNewsAust Airwaves cause NBN doesn't work 🤡 Gee wizz - we could even stream it live but for copper. How good would fibre be 🤦🏽😡
NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reported@QdenisT @AshPolitik Or the fact that what Abbott and Turnbull did with the NBN crippled the future of our entire generation at the most critical time to the point they should be thrown behind bars. That will and should never ever be forgotten or forgiven ever.
-
Krenlight (@Krenlight) reported**** useless NBN installer couldn't even keep a 4 hour appointment window and then cancelled the install, making us wait another 9 days before they get their **** together and just ******* connect the service I've paid for. #NBN
-
Phi AU (@Phi_AU1) reportedA Direct result of the ALP gutting of the NBN. And they wonder why I'd never vote for them. Still on the same HFC I was on 10 years BEFORE the NBN. Now I get multiple dropouts a month due entirely to infrastructure that should have been fibre for YEARS.
-
Julian (@captainjujubean) reported@Borindas_Lament @pikey14 Like the NDIS or the NBN or Snowy were "costed"? They seem to be the only party talking about actually reducing spending, fraud and waste. Like all parties they will over promise and under deliver but at least they are raising these things as actual issues
-
Loftwah (@loftwah) reportedFormer Prime Minister Tony Abbott should go over and support the US and Israel himself. We won't forget the NBN.
-
Billyy (@Billyy39678102) reported@CatherineD42535 @VDejan0000 ******* stupid question. Of course we should. Nbn, snowy hydro and reduction in hecs debts. All wasted money. Let’s have a government oil and gas company and refineries. Owned for the people. Economic ideology has failed the Australian people. Time to be pragmatic.

miss_84 (@Miss__84) reportedAgaiinnnnnnn @Telstra again. A war widow with a serious heart condition without the use of her phone because of an nbn outage. But how does that affect the mobile phone useage Youre the absolute worst company. She feels cut off from the world. But hey she has the internet
-
Grinds My Gears (@alreadyfurious) reported@Someozbloke @deniseshrivell That's good in your circumstance. But it has been reported by others. I was more addressing why NBN is not a waste. The reason you still hear about it these days having issues is because of LNP screwing it up with a mixed technology approach. FTTP does not have these drawbacks.

Sherwin Pinto (@sherwinpinto) reportedIs anyone else having an outage on their NBN in Rockdale @AGLEnergy
