NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Geoff Payne (@geoffrey_payne) reported😒 had FTTP NBN connected 2 weeks, incredibly slow speeds, pages don't load & sound intermittent, NBN website says, any/all issues regarding performance MUST go to ISP, they are charging me for 500 Mb/sec.....I'm receiving 80 Mb/sec download speed currently @NBN_Australia 😞
-
FML (@jshster) reported@PieNorthern I haven't had a problem in ages... since we upgraded to NBN high speed. Hate to say it but it might be a tech problem. Although I do get it!
-
Nonny (@nonnygb) reported@Jenbox360 Nah that's not torture... I've finally convinced my ISP & NBN here there's an issue with my fibre connection with 40+ dropouts a day. It's taken them a month & 4 callouts to finally accept it's not my hardware or within my property. I was losing my mind.

Orstraya (@orstraya) reported@FarCueCunce Contractor for NBN Co. My olds were hooked up 10yrs ago and while they used the existing Telstra conduit to the house, the inside install was terrible - left a big hole in the wall behind the NTU, which let spiders into the house until I found it years later and patched it up.

Mezmarr (@Mezmarr) reported@NBN_Australia @NBN_Australia still no internet. Guess I'll just tell my work that you guys will cover the losses incurred by being down.

jaded ( ジェイドフィッシュア ) (@jadedfissure) reported@realRick_AUS Out in rural NSW, the max I could get was 50Mbps. And it took 3 months and a really good tech - (who got silenced) to tell me that they had a broken cable on my run and they needed to rerun the cables for about 50 feet. 7 visits I think I have 3 months with nothing before that! And every time it rained, I lost connection for hours I was the middle of the work day. Aussie Broadband were the only ones who kept me sane - NBN itself was (and is) rubbish, but Aussie was amazing.

Con! (@c0n_AU) reported@BeauGiles Typically, no. For the cost of a backup device/SIM/NBN or even Starlink, it would pay for itself in an hour of an outage like this!
-
Kribby 🦊🔥 Soulfire Kitsune (@KribbyVT) reportedWhen my internet stops conking out I will be UNSTOPPABLE… but until then I sit in the corner and sob 🥺 nbn please fix it
-
Harrar Longberry (@HarrarLongberry) reported@BeauGiles You typically use the mobile network as the backup to a wired connection. E.g. at our business the NBN was so unreliable we installed a 4g failover modem, but you need to know they exist & how to configure them. Most people don't have that level of IT know-how.
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reportedSpeed 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.
-
Alastair Taylor (@tayser82) reported@OperationalInc1 Whenever the NBN low-earth orbit satelitte service kicks off (Amazon's burgeoning network), the backup should switch to that. Aside from some parts of inner Perth/Melb/Syd/Bris, all of the rail network is on the surface and will be able to uplink, I would have thought.
-
Tim (@ttmoari) reported@SydneyCityTV Those horrendous pins are still being worn. WIN News’ product is piss poor compared to NBN News. But the latter will probably become rubbish in time.

Madeleine Love (@MCLove2024) reportedWe're paying progressively more taxes, and our services are decreasing. We just got a generic letter telling us our landline phone will be disconnected in 7 months. We used to have copper line which provided a highly reliable service in emergencies, whether power and internet was on, or not. I recall ringing a (surviving) neighbour in the middle of the Marysville 2009 Black Saturday fires. We had a chat while his smoke alarm was going off and the fire was raging outside. Phone through broadband was hopeless whenever the power or internet went down, which happens frequently. Mobiles are useless whenever the internet goes down, and not long after the power goes off. But those copper wire phones were fantastic. You could actually ring the electricity company when the power was off, and tell them that the power was off and could they fix it. I'm not joining the nbn.

Shane (@bigRD73) reported@blowingtom2 @SenSHenderson It would be as bad as NBN co if they didn't.

Garfield C. Reynolds (@GarfieldR1966) reported@NBN_Australia Here I am almost 2 weeks later and still regular interruptions while NBN lists our address as subject to network degradation. I have contacted my provider and they then check with NBN and I am told work is ongoing. But nothing gets fixed!!!!
