National telco NBN says it has ‘escalated’ issues raised by Byron Shire customers who spoke to The Echo last week.

Richmond MP Justine Elliot yesterday announced that households and businesses across the North Coast are benefiting from faster internet and increased data with the completion of the Albanese government’s upgrades to NBN Co’s Fixed Wireless and Satellite services.

Two Byron Shire residents have spoken out publicly about what they say is rotten service from national telco Telstra.

Around 5,800 homes and businesses were still impacted by outages on the nbn™ network in Northern NSW Tuesday morning.

Police issued an alert earlier this week saying people have been getting phone calls from scammers impersonating NBN Australia.

There are now approximately 9,500 homes and businesses impacted by outages on the nbn network, decreased from 79,500 yesterday.

For many people, if you're reading this, then you'll know that the NBN network is up and running.

The NBN outage across the Northern Rivers is down from 81,000 yesterday to 79,500 today as they continue to work on returning access to the region due to the outage at the Woodburn Fibre Access Node.

Around 81,000 homes and businesses are experiencing outages on the nbn™ network across Northern NSW say NBN. 

Though most of the community are extending their hand in help for people who have been affected by the recent floods on the Far North Coast and Sout East Queensland, scammers are already finding ways to make life even more difficult for residents
