NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Frostscythe 🇦🇺 (@Frostscytheplay) reported@DAKKADAKKA1 This is literally the reason why Huawei was banned from even bidding on doing the NBN and 5G network in Australia, because Chinese tech is spy tech.
-
Chris (@christ0pherjs) reported@bftd2025 @respeculator Nbn co needs to hang a for sale sign out the front immediately, is eventually redundant with 100% to be written off
-
Sam Guest (@SamGues97214452) reported@ellymelly Never, as a former employee of NBN, I had proposed a non terrestrial backup service but they flatly refused to consider updating their satellite communications, and now we are digitally vulnerable.
-
The Steps (@mcnamara_team) reported@TopherField Satellite has been about forever, the government never got in its way, I had it and it was ****. I used NBN relatively successfully over inferior satellite technologies until Starlink came along. Your opinions don’t appear to align with my experiences accurately.
-
Eddie Redcliffe (@fictillius) reportedPublicly owned generators in the NEM today are some of the worst players in the market withholding supply to force peak prices up. NBN is a financial/business disaster. (Though the network is actually good)
-
panopticon (@harrypanopticon) reported@OMGTheMess Exactly. Not investing in Australia for 11 years now, since the NBN policy disaster basically, has never been so beneficial for my overseas company. The company made profit the moment I gave NBN Co and TPG/AAPT the flick. Never have seen consumers been ripped off collectively with the silent approval of a regulator.
-
Peter Harvey (@eklektos) reported@NBN_Australia You had techs working near my address and I now have no NBN connection. Call has been logged with my ISP but to disconnect a connection like this shows poor workmanship in your technicians. This is unacceptable.
-
Cattom (@TCatley) reported@Adam_and_EVs My friend just followed me to do the same. NBN is terrible. If we had proper fibre probably a different situation but
-
🇦🇺Glenn McDonald (@Glenn_SoilAgro) reportedIf our @NBN_Australia is like this for the Australian census night, our family won’t exist as won’t be able to fill in the online forms… will have to drive down the road for mobile coverage. Can we have our old copper to node connection back?
-
anthony, underclass prole cat, edwards (@anthony45052793) reported@MichaelRuyg apology would be nice, no chance of a refund. despite larger ISP's being forced to refund people on fixed wireless who paid for service speed nbn could not deliver, my small one was not included in that settlement.
-
The Truth Always Wins (@TTAlwaysWins) reported@LCHF_Matt I had this same NBN box when I was with Optus internet. I got rid of it when I changed to full fibre with Aussie BB. I hated Optus, but I have to say, the NBN box itself never failed in all the years I had it. Will be interested to hear how you go with Starlink
-
Johnnymoo1969 (@johnnymoo1969) reported@NBN_Australia how bad is the NBN !!! - took annual leave today and no bastard turned up - FU NBN - you’re another govt disgrace - they couldn’t give a **** about the customer or their time - another @ausgov disaster - we are a third world country
-
Mike Dupont (@introsp3ctor) reported@JDRedding new books network, they discuss a book about those topics. the nbn is an academic podcast sponsored by gambling and pharma industry that snickers and laughs at plebs and avocates for the violent overthrow of the government. its a great listen if you want to know how people think.
-
🌸 Rita Gee ♥ 🇦🇺 (@Riogallica) reportedMy @NBN has been down since 9am & they won't come to fix issue till Monday - 4 days (2nd time in 2 wks)! My Telstra hotspotting is weak. Time to hook up with @starlink Issue here is local installer charges an arm/leg etc to install sys on roof etc. I may have to suck it up.
-
Ray malicai (@RMalicai) reported@TheKouk Absolute bullshit, we were 0 under Howard, then 747 went big, Gillard and Rudd again, nbn commitments etc. Abbott slowed it down then Morrison due mostly to covid made it jump and now albo and jimflation have rocked it past 1t. You clowns can’t count
