NBN Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
LambDownUnder (@LambDownUnder) reported@TheLucidyn @Batman2242 Kind of proving the point. Gov can't perceive anything. Making large Capex decisions that are supposed to be generational. It was anti competitive from the outset. Private companies (TPG notable) were prohibited from building out their own network. Regardless, I can have starlink internet now for about the same monthly price as the NBN except i didn't have to front the Capex (and debt) for it. NBN very likely has a negative ROI. I wish we judged policies by outcomes not intentions.

purana (@purana) reportedThe latest in the NBN FTTN connection request for my mum is they are still valuating what changes they need to do on network to connect her. Basically NBN didn't project plan things correctly with the nearby street re-alignment.
-
💜𝕏 CharmsVic 𝕏 💜 (@CharmsYahoo) reported@JaneCaro @AlboMP We need some caution because satellite Starmind will solve the electricity and water problem just as Starlink has solved the NBN problem
-
Scarab (@ScarabOfficial) reportedI woke up to find my Internet is down. I'm typing this via an unusably slow emergency backup mobile access function. I hope my fibre connectivity comes back up soon. The problem is with either my ISP(RSP), or the #NBN, more likely the former.

Deevitha (@Deevitha_) reportedFinally bit the bullet and got Starlink installed. Highly impressed, the speed and stability runs everything beautifully. We haven’t had a single circle of death anywhere. No more dealing with the shortfalls of NBN lines, poor workmanship and dodgy patchwork repairs. In our exit survey from the old company I let them know the reason for leaving was the poor service the NBN infrastructure can provide, and now that customers have another choice we aren’t limited by the failing system. Highly recommend the switch if you have been considering it.

U5321977 (@U5321977) reported@grok @AFP @zerohedge We will see. They now have our government's pre-emptive regulations and one of the world's highest electricity and real estate/construction costs to contend with once we are past the VC craze stage. I am calling bullshit on this. Like car manufacturing, nuclear energy, making green energy products: making anything actually. Or will it just become another government funded boondoggle like NBN. Billions obsoleted by Starlink. Yes lets build massive government funded data centres. I am sure Elon has no counter to that. Nothing stupid like datacenters in orbit. Could data centers in orbit talk to Australia?
-
Rakeau (@rakeau) reported@alexjohnward @ianclarkeAU Separate discussion. The comment targeted NBN specifically. It’s wrong to say that NBN = Bad. It’s not that simple.
-
DissentingSkeptic (@DissentingS) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink Speed 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.
-
purana (@purana) reportedIt's bad enough that I assume NBN co called my mother to offer an FTTP upgrade, which is not even possible because the address has an MDU which is not FTTP ready. Like I said, I don't think the people doing the work have any idea what they are doing. Disappointing.
-
Spider Mother Gwen (@GwenMotherS) reported@ClioAite Could be a nbn formating issue call ur provider and check something hasnt gone sideways with ur modems formatting or connection to the wider nbn network
-
Dane Trethowan (@grtdane) reported@TimLooker @ABCaustralia I knew our communications system was down the tube with no stopping it when NBN bought the Copper Wire Network from Telstra and start decommissioning it, we should have had our Copper Network (which served us well) continue to do so along side Fibre etc.
-
Marty (@Martywa467) reported@VoteLewko @Starlink This is exactly why we need billionaires and trillionaires to do things that our governments always completely fails to do. So glad we wasted billions of our dollars on a rubbish NBN service huh
-
Raymond McKeown (@RaymondKeown3) reported@Rexdinasaur I worked with Conroy on the original NBN & built the first site in Kiama, it was a disaster, it cost Transgrid $10 million, not one of NBN management had ever built a network, they had no idea, never understood the unique properties of Fibre cable, Conroy would simply not listen, one deal he did cost $800 million as a stuff up, I walked away & said to my people, everyone of our competitors will chase this, lets chase the business they ignore.

Brat (@IyBrat) reported@Batman2242 Idiot without NBN you would not have internet during COVID to jack off

Lynx Raide ¤ レイデ•リンクス (@LynxRaide) reportedOkay plan from here is 4G dongle until my Starlink is delivered and installed. Didn't really want this option but kinda got no choice cause NBN is stupid how they run things.
