Is There an Outage with
Belong
 Right Now?

How to check
Belong
 outage status

  1. Belong Network Outages page – See confirmed issues or planned maintenance for mobile & broadband. Use mobile data if home internet is down.

  2. NBN Network Status (for Belong nbn™) – Enter your address on NBN Co’s checker to confirm area-wide outages or maintenance.

  3. Telstra Outages (for Belong Mobile) – Belong runs on Telstra’s network. Check Telstra’s outage map for local mobile tower disruptions.

  4. Third-party tracker (e.g., DownDetector) – View spikes in user reports and heatmaps to gauge broader problems (unofficial but fast signal).

  5. Belong social channels (X/Twitter, Facebook) – Look for real-time acknowledgements and restoration ETAs.

How to report a
Belong
outage

  1. Contact Belong Support
    • Live Chat via the Belong website (8am–8pm AEST, 7 days).

    • Call 1300 235 664 (8am–8pm AEST) if chat is busy.

    • Explain the issue (e.g., “No internet since 3pm in [suburb]”) and request an outage check.

  2. Have details ready – Account number/mobile, service address, when it started, what you’ve tried (reboot modem/phone). Mention if neighbours are also affected.

  3. Get a ticket number – Ask for a reference so you can track updates. Belong may SMS/email you when the outage is confirmed/resolved.

  4. Use in-app troubleshooting – In your Belong account/app, run Troubleshoot My Service for automatic outage detection or to log a fault.

  5. Expect queues during big outages – If phones are busy, try chat (and vice versa). Persistence helps during peak incidents.

Outages & Causes

  • Mar 2024 – National mobile calling issue: A Telstra software update glitch disrupted calls for multiple brands (including Belong). Rolled back within hours.

  • Oct 2024 – WA regional blackout (~8 days): Critical transmission cable damage isolated several towns, impacting mobile & internet until extensive field repairs were completed.

  • Early 2025 – Storm-related faults (QLD): Severe weather caused power/network damage; services restored as power companies completed repairs.

  • Other incidents: Brief NBN maintenance overruns and occasional DNS/routing hiccups led to short, localised outages. Resolved same-day.

Common causes: upstream network faults (Telstra/NBN), fibre cuts, power failures, severe weather, and rare software/config errors.

How long does it take for
Belong
 to fix an outage?

  • Minor (street/suburb level): Often 2–4 hours once identified (reroute/reset or simple hardware swap).

  • Moderate (metro node/tower): Several hours up to a day, depending on parts and field access.

  • Major (regional infrastructure damage): Multi-day in rare cases (e.g., remote fibre rebuilds, disaster zones).

  • Typical expectation: Many outages resolve within 24 hours. ETAs are posted on status pages and updated if conditions change.

Our Belong internet has dropped out so many times I’ve lost count. Every time support says it’s the NBN, but months later it’s still unreliable. It’s exhausting not knowing when it’ll cut out again, especially when we work from home. I just want steady service and fair compensation for the downtime. - Anna

I run my business and help my kids with schoolwork from home, so when the internet went down for days it really hit us. Support couldn’t fix it quickly, and being told it would take even longer was beyond frustrating. It shouldn’t be this hard to stay connected. - Shoji

A technician in the street disconnected my internet while upgrading the area, and I was left offline for days. I rely on that connection for work and had to chase both Belong and NBN for answers. Outages like that shouldn’t leave customers stranded. - Rachael

My Belong modem suddenly started flashing red and clicking. No connection, no explanation, but the bills keep coming. It’s confusing and stressful not knowing if it’s Belong or NBN’s fault when all I want is a working service I’m paying for. - Jack

Outage FAQs

How can I quickly check if Belong is having an outage?

You can check Belong outage status instantly on the Belong Network Outages page for confirmed mobile or broadband issues. If it’s NBN-related, use the NBN Network Status checker with your address. For Belong Mobile, visit Telstra’s Outage Map since Belong uses Telstra’s network. Third-party sites like DownDetector and Belong’s social pages on X or Facebook offer fast, real-time updates before official posts appear.

What’s the fastest way to report a Belong outage and get a response?

The quickest way is via Belong Live Chat on their website (8am–8pm AEST, daily). If it’s busy, call 1300 235 664. Clearly describe the problem, share when it started, what troubleshooting you’ve tried, and whether others nearby are affected. Always ask for a ticket number so you can track updates. For faster results, run Troubleshoot My Service in the Belong app to log a fault automatically.

How long does it usually take for Belong to fix an internet or mobile outage?

Most Belong outages resolve within 2–24 hours, depending on severity. Small, local issues are often fixed within a few hours, while broader metro or regional faults may take up to a day. Major infrastructure damage, like storm or fibre faults, can take multiple days. Always check Belong’s outage status page for ETA updates, as restoration times can change with field conditions.

What should I do if Belong services stay down after the outage is resolved?

If your Belong service remains down after the outage is marked “resolved,” restart your modem or phone first. If that fails, contact Belong Support via chat or phone and request a case check. Mention that the outage is listed as resolved but your service isn’t restored. You can also report through Ajust, which helps you file a formal outage complaint to ensure your issue gets properly reviewed and not ignored.
