  • The severe weather impacting New South Wales has eased. We are aware of approximately 180 nbn™ services impacted, mainly due to mains power outages, and have been advised these will soon be restored.
  • In the event resulting network damage or service faults are identified, nbn will have crews working to restore any services safely and as quickly as possible.
  • As we expect services to be reconnected soon, this will be the final update. We encourage you to check the status of your service on our Network Status page. If there is no outage displayed and you are still without service, please contact your phone and internet service provider. The provider will raise a case allowing us to identify the cause and work to restore the service safely and as quickly as possible.
