NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Econo ad absurdam (@econoadabsurdam) reportedWhen the ALP talks up something like the NDIS or the NBN and says that it will help increase productivity, what do you think they mean
-
BluntHonesty 🇦🇺🤝🇮🇱 (@BluntHonesty4) reported@trsrpc For context. Australia's NBN is still be rolled out years after it was sold as the best thing ever... Yet many have incredibly unstable internet or none at all.
-
JoeKing (@JoeF_ingKing) reported@ruicharadrius The government did the same thing that Biden / Harris did in USA... They promised "fast NBN" but didn't do ****. They could have just provided us all with Starlink set ups for a LOT cheaper... They could have paid for our monthly connection fees and STILL saved money.
-
My Brother in Antichrist (@0delay1) reported@CazAusie @TimjboAU Medicare. Superannuation. HECS. NBN. Gun reform. Fair Work. Disability support. Paid parental leave. Minimum wage increases. Universal healthcare & education funding. ‘I can’t recall’ just means you didn’t look.

✨ 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
-
Wyatt O'Shea (@Wyatt1I7) reported@villaminium @JordanRey98 @whooithVT I've already got multiple good routers so I don't need the eero but it's cool that it's a free addon. Idk about peak speed being any different as I've never not gotten max speed out of my fiber nbn connections (minus overheads) so about 950mbps+ at all hours of the day or night.

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.

Paolo M (@PaoloMalicse) reported@Optus @optus_help 3rd day no NBN internet, so why do I pay $100 a month for no service? Superloop and Starlink looking very appealing right now. Maybe time for me to switch?
-
There’s Only One Jezza (@StandMeOver) reported@herecomessuper And don’t forget the useless **** is the one who gave us NBN. That basically created another government run Telstra. For a technology that was never required.
-
ronnymouse (@ronnymouse7) reported@eevblog this is why we have a fixed wireless connection as a backup, the NBN backbones they're connected to rarely go down
-
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!
-
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???!!???!
-
🇦🇺 Steve Penman 🇦🇺 (@Jade_Tiger62) reportedHow ******** is the $90,000,000,000 NBN fibre to the house internet, promised 500mbs in Australia run @ 30mbs at 9.30pm on a Wednesday night??????????? Another Australian government FAILURE 😡😡😡 Starlink tomorrow! **** you @NBN_Australia
