NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
ESG Sucks Capital (@rollingputcap) reported@thatboyyknows @AntipodeEmpire Why ******** would we want the ***** who can't even manage Snowy Hydro 2.0, the NBN or the NDIS to have more of a say in the mining industry?
-
Mike Ellsmore (@MGAroadster) reported@NBN_Australia my nbn is not working.
-
Michelle Burrows (@ChelleAB) reportedI’ll second this. I note Albanese has no issue shackling the ALP’s NBN around our necks despite Telstra either.
-
Tony D (@tonydpoison) reported@Slackonbothsydz NBN. Treach was a problem.
-
Kang Li (@aphacia) reported@NBN_Australia no NBN service in Cherrybrook 2126 from this morning there has been HFC replacement recently nearby was it because the project missed cutting the HFC cable for internet then caused the unplanned outage and when it is back?

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.

The Sentient Eye Brows of John Winston Howard (@DimTimWilsonMP) reported@macsween_prue @AlboMP @AustralianLabor To be fair Prune McBiasedBitch, the nbn AND NDIS were legislated under the dying days of an ALP government, but initial implementation were left to an incompetent *********** of successive coalition fuckups masquerading as government, which then left the damage for ALP to fix
-
Scarab (@ScarabOfficial) reportedWow... #Starlink have dropped their price to around 1/10th of what it was, to try to attract customers in Australia, who are mainly, of course, on the #NBN. And for the first four months it's even cheaper than that, during their current promotion. Just a shame it's so slow.

SamZawsum (@SamZawsum) reported@SchadenfreudeA3 When the nbn trench crew were here, I offered them cuppas and took down a big jug of iced water and cups
-
StainlessSteelMan (@Rowen72600346) reported@mark16pg It was supposed to be a cheaper alternative to batteries, turns out batteries came down in price, nbn was supposed to do the same with internet and starlink rendered it useless as well.
-
yeah, naa (@yeah_naa_maybe) reported@NBN_Australia internet down for 20 hours in east subs of sydney. WTF no updates, silence. what the hell is going on. @Optus @optus_help
-
Bodgie Steve (@BodgieSteve) reported@Riogallica Didn't know you could contact NBNco. I've had 3 NBN boxes **** up (nearby lightning 🌩 strike) Contact provider. Ausie BB, 1-3 days. Next door has Optus, 1-2 weeks.
-
xjet (@xjet) reported@eevblog @Hobbie4C Perhaps there's been a huge surge in demand for bandwidth from those cellsites since the NBN outage? Everyone has the same idea as you and bandwidth is finite. The more concurrent users, the lower the throughput.
-
Russell Drysdale :#IStandWithAlbo (@Russputin2) reported@Qldaah If only Media Militia had gone Full Fibre to the cesspit, instead of opting for snail paced Copper NBN, they'd know that "discovery" was only a new find, mid last century & rejected as unviable, of poor quality & limited in supply.
