NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
name cannot be blank (@namelessforhere) reported
@jc_cinedev @Starlink Residential means house not all houses have nbn connections that can run at that speed. Mine at best was running 20mb and this is why I opted for starlink. Never looked back.

I don't understand how @Telstra can so consistently screw up. FTTN to FTTP. New Telstra box randomly disconnects, and DHCP server doesn't allow IP address of local DNS server. Just got a new bill, separate from existing account, for new NBN service in addition to existing bill.

@SchadenfreudeA3 I had crap NBN & great download + data bank on my phone, so I dumped the NBN & now I tether my phone to my computer. I have over a terabyte in data bank if I want to binge on something & it all costs me $40pm inc. my phone. I can travel with my laptop & have internet at hand 👍

The rain seems to have caused a big NBN issue at home. The connection is very patchy. That’s a thing, right? Water hurts it?

Starlink is advancing rapidly with more satellites and tech like laser links, potentially reaching 300-500Mbps speeds and ~20ms latency by 2026-2027. It could compete in rural areas lacking NBN, but for urban fiber like your 1000/50 plan, it won't match gigabit speeds or sub-10ms latency due to satellite physics. Stick with Buddy unless coverage is an issue.

MATE internet + mobile (@beourmate) reported
@Matty82A Totally fair question. The recent outages have been caused by fibre breaks on the backhaul links we use into the nbn network. These are physical cuts to the fibre which take time for field crews to repair.

@wade396 @Telstra Hi Telstra are you aware of an outage inBondi ? No help from NBN been almost 8 hours now

GAZZA (@GAZZA56721349) reported
@Matt_Camenzuli Another Labor scheme poorly thought out & administered, like Pink Batts, young men died, NBN astronomical money wasted &. still not working well. NDIS, just being scammed, poorly defined & administered by hopeless Public Servants. The Public Servants were 40% of jobs last year

Cdbrown (@BrowntownBrew) reported
@Tank9999 @AustralianLabor The LNP party room hated the idea of the #NBN because it would hurt Telstra and show that selling it off as a single entity was stupid. And they had to try and protect foxtel from the streaming platforms. Turnbull invested his own money into fttp rollouts in Europe.

@JBC_kiwi The test should be: - Is this expenditure or service in competition with a private solution or potential private solution? If yes, afuera. NBN - afuera ABC - afuera So on and so forth.

@iiNet we have now experienced a full week of nbn outage and have been given a ring around between you and @NBN_Australia nbn tells me @iiNet reports the fault but you say you don't have details. Not good enough from both.
