Before you spend an hour on hold with your provider, run through these three quick checks. Most NBN outages get diagnosed in under five minutes if you know where to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quick check: are you on an NBN outage right now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Check the NBN Co outage map<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbnco.com.au\/support\/network-issues\">nbnco.com.au\/support\/network-issues<\/a>. Enter your address \u2014 it tells you within seconds if there&#8217;s a known fault or planned maintenance in your area.<\/li><li><strong>Check your provider&#8217;s status page<\/strong> (table below). Some outages are provider-side (a problem with the retailer&#8217;s network) rather than NBN Co&#8217;s. The provider page often has more detail and an ETA.<\/li><li><strong>Check Twitter\/X.<\/strong> Search for &#8220;[your provider] outage&#8221; \u2014 if a major outage is hitting, hundreds of people are tweeting about it. Often faster than the provider&#8217;s own page.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If all three say &#8220;no outage&#8221; but your internet is dead, the problem is at your house. See our <a href=\"\/blog\/what-to-do-if-my-nbn-stops-working\/\">NBN troubleshooting guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NBN provider status pages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Direct links to every major Australian NBN provider&#8217;s outage\/status page.

Just creates more work for the modem once the line comes back.<\/li><li><strong>Use your phone&#8217;s 4G\/5G hotspot as backup.<\/strong> Tether your laptop temporarily if you need to work.<\/li><li><strong>Check the ETA on NBN Co&#8217;s status page.<\/strong> Most local outages are resolved within 1-4 hours. Major ones (cable cuts, tower issues) can take a day or two.<\/li><li><strong>If the outage is longer than 24 hours, you may be eligible for a credit<\/strong> on your next bill \u2014 ring your provider once service is back to ask. They often won&#8217;t volunteer it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When the outage is on your provider, not NBN Co<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A surprising number of &#8220;NBN outages&#8221; are actually provider side problems. DNS failures, authentication server crashes, billing system glitches that flag your account incorrectly. These are exclusive to one provider&#8217;s customers and don&#8217;t show on the NBN Co map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symptoms: every other house in your street is fine, but yours is down. Or: your phone&#8217;s 4G data through your provider is also down. If multiple of your provider&#8217;s services are affected and the NBN Co map says no issues, it&#8217;s on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your provider has frequent or long outages, the obvious move is to switch. The ACCC&#8217;s quarterly Measuring Broadband Australia report tracks evening speed reliability. Aussie Broadband, Superloop and Swoop consistently top the rankings. See <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-compare-nbn-plans\/\">how to compare NBN plans<\/a> and <a href=\"\/blog\/step-by-step-guide-how-to-switch-nbn-providers-without-disruption\/\">how to switch providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to report an NBN outage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t report NBN outages directly to NBN Co. They only deal with retail providers. To report an outage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbnco.com.au\/support\/network-issues\">NBN Co status page<\/a> first. If your fault is already known, no need to report it.<\/li><li>If it&#8217;s NOT already known, contact your retail provider. Have your account number and address ready.<\/li><li>Your provider runs a line test. If it confirms a fault on NBN Co&#8217;s side, they lodge a ticket on your behalf and NBN Co dispatches a technician at no cost to you.<\/li><li>Get a reference number for the fault \u2014 you&#8217;ll need it if you have to follow up.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For provider contact numbers see our <a href=\"\/blog\/nbn-contact-number\/\">NBN contact directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I know if my NBN is down?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three quick checks: (1) Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbnco.com.au\/support\/network issues\">nbnco.com.au\/support\/network issues<\/a> and enter your address. (2) Check your provider&#8217;s status page (see table above). (3) Search Twitter\/X for &#8220;[your provider] outage&#8221;. If a major outage is hitting, hundreds of people are tweeting about it within minutes. If all three say &#8220;no outage&#8221; but your internet is dead, the problem is at your house, not the NBN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I check current NBN outages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to nbnco.com.au\/support\/network issues and enter your address. You&#8217;ll see a real-time list of any known faults, planned maintenance, or congestion alerts affecting your area. The map updates within minutes of NBN Co identifying a fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where do I report an NBN outage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t report NBN outages directly to NBN Co. Only your retail provider can. Ring your provider, give them your account details, and they&#8217;ll run a line test. If the fault is on NBN Co&#8217;s infrastructure, they lodge the ticket and NBN Co dispatches a technician at no cost. See provider phone numbers in our <a href=\"\/blog\/nbn-contact-number\/\">NBN contact directory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is my NBN out when the outage map says no issues?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually one of: (1) the outage is provider side rather than NBN Co. Check your retailer&#8217;s status page; (2) your modem\/router needs a restart (30-second power-off, plug back in); (3) there&#8217;s a fault on your specific line that hasn&#8217;t been reported yet; (4) your account has a billing issue temporarily blocking service. If a modem restart doesn&#8217;t fix it, ring your provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long do NBN outages usually last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most local outages resolve in 1-4 hours. Major outages (cable cuts, regional infrastructure failures) can take a day or two. Planned maintenance windows are usually 1-6 hours, scheduled in the early morning. Severe weather events like floods or fires can take days to repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get compensation for NBN outages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes. There&#8217;s no automatic right to compensation for short outages, but providers will often credit your next bill if you ask politely after an outage longer than 24 hours. For repeated or long-running outages, you can complain to the TIO (Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman, tio.com.au). They can order refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I check NBN status without internet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use your phone&#8217;s 4G\/5G mobile data (turn Wi-Fi off temporarily). Visit nbnco.com.au or your provider&#8217;s status page through mobile data. Most modern phones also let you tether. Turn your phone into a hotspot to get a laptop online quickly while NBN is down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should I restart my modem during an NBN outage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only if you&#8217;re not sure it&#8217;s an actual NBN outage. If NBN Co has confirmed an outage in your area, restarting the modem won&#8217;t help. Wait for the line to come back. If you haven&#8217;t confirmed an outage yet, a 30-second modem power-cycle is a worthwhile first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Related guides<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"\/blog\/what-to-do-if-my-nbn-stops-working\/\">What to do if my NBN stops working<\/a> \u2014 full troubleshooting guide<\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/nbn-contact-number\/\">NBN provider contact numbers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/test-your-internet-speed\/\">Test your internet speed<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-compare-nbn-plans\/\">How to compare NBN plans<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/step-by-step-guide-how-to-switch-nbn-providers-without-disruption\/\">How to switch NBN providers without disruption<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/blog\/nbn-faq\/\">NBN FAQ<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How do I know if my NBN is down?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Three quick checks: (1) Visit nbnco.com.au\/support\/network issues and enter your address.
