NBN Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  The Opinionated Veteran (@the_vocal_one) reported 7 minutes ago

  @ianclarkeAU With today's technology, the NBN simply cannot compete with a wireless network like @Starlink, and that is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future... #Starlink has a LOT of advantages; completely replacing fixed networks is not one of them and won't be anytime soon.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink Govt/Telcos/NBN spent billuons of taxpayer dollars to build a rubbish service. Starlink does way better at zero taxpayer expense. So government response to this is to spend more dollars on their unworkable rubbish. I can't think of a better argument why big government needs to go

  @88888sAccount Best to wait till Telstra or the NBN is down again and then really rub it in the face.

  @taipan168 Many corporatised, but publicly owned, entities provide great service. NBN is pretty good for example. Even Australia Post isn’t bad. Govt doesn’t have to equal bad and is much more preferable in monopoly and quasi-monopoly environments.

  No idea exactly who's staying and who's going (we'll likely find out soon enough), but one hopes Nine proper or 2HD/the Super Radio Network* may pick up some displaced NBN staff. *Come on, ex-NBN News talent can't be any worse than some of the presenters they've got right now!

  @GusLefty @AJG71 @karlstefanovic QED. This ALP fool doesn’t know Foxtel rolled out and paid for a cable network for far less $/ customer than the NBN. Foxtel: ~$800–$1,100 per premise. NBN: $2,000–$2,750+ per premise.

  Superloop is the 3rd RSP. Let's see if I can get more details out of them tomorrow on what path/route of the FTTN is a problem. NBN co seriously can't manage a raffle in a pub.

  @QuentinDempster NBN sucks. Australia has third world internet. Starlink rocks. Loser.

  @VoteLewko @Starlink Speed is latency. No satellite connection is "high speed" sick of the disinformation. Starlink is 20ms-40ms+ latency like mobile garbage is. NBN is a whopping 600ms latency. They need to keep this junk away from fibre areas where I get 2ms latency and have had since 2022.

  Im also not claiming it 100% never happened. Or that I was 100% wrong. As I’ve seen no real evidence to disprove this is false either. But if it wasn’t said directly in the BBN server I don’t wanna act like it is. Even if YouTubers and NBN devs supported it to be unintentionally.

  @optus_help hi. I have had an issue with your sales chat team putting me on the wrong NBN plan

  @strangerous10 @AlanJMitchell_ Yep. And Canberra complaining about the privatised Telstra is like me selling someone a second-hand car and hitching about what the new owners did with it. I’m serious. And we should surely have enough computing power to know now how the sharemarket dabbling went for those “battlers” who bought Telstra shares as encouraged by the privatising PM John Howard. After taxes, accountants, inflation, fees & Telstra’s bad (or deliberate?) policy choices around the National Broadband Network, my guess would be: not that well. And speaking of the NBN, remember the smart nodding and talking heads saying we wouldn’t need this much capacity etc. Be a few archived interviews from that era that will not have aged well. The same equation repeats throughout history. 1. “This is ridiculous” 2. “It has some uses” 3. “We’ve always supported this! What are you talking about.” Progress moves by the death of generations, as much as by technology. My parents hated ATMs. Didn’t trust them. I don’t trust the thing I’m writing this on. Children now will one day look back on such antiquated things as hand-held devices and “wonder how people used something so clumsy”. Etc

  @TopherField I've been a happy Starlink customer for years, because the NBN was unable to get reliable internet to my house. Each month Elon gets my money, and I get reliable high speed internet. Each month, we are both better off.

  @newcastleherald As an Ex-NBNer having spent many years of my working life in various capacities with NBN, it's terrible to now hear about all these losses.
