optus customers... when do we get our login info??
Ive got the modem, the tech is booked for tomorrow..but ive got no login info
surely i just dont plug in the modem and it just goes?
surely i just dont plug in the modem and it just goes?
this is how the Telstra supplied modem works. no logon info required
The amount of misinformation going around and the lack of organisation is still mind boggling, methinks. I've had the trench done and now the box is on the side of the house; had they done the neighbour and maybe the next one again, it'd have been an hour or two extra work on the same day...organisation, organisation!
Agreed, it wouldn't take much extra work to connect them. I wonder why they've been told aerial when it is quite clear that a trench can be used.... right next door!
So frustrating! I'm bringing a glass half empty expectation into tomorrow's installation to avoid disappointment :)
Awright, I'm connected!
getting really spikey/varied speed results, but it's still fast after my ~5mbps ADSL, hehe.
85/37 with 5ms latency.
The whole experience for me was a real breeze, except it's lucky I was here � nobody told me the NBN trench digger team will turn up a day early, and the cabler got here early, too. (he was booked 1-5pm, got here around 11am)
Still, all in all it was very quick, and after the fiber connection was done, I am up and live a mere few hours later � it's as good as it gets in my books :)
What's really interesting is that the d/l speed is always near-100 early on, then it sort of slowly goes down a bit. The upload is much more consistent.
last result 87/37/4ms

Hmmm, based on those stats I'd be interested to know what you'd get if you took a 100/40 instead of 50/20 plan.
myNBN puts my cable distance at about 430metres from the pillar. That's about my guestimate too.
You should be getting far better speeds than you are now. If you are indeed on the 50/20 plan, almost looks like they have you on the 25/5 plan.
Well according to the wife the NBN have been across the road from our house building "something". Last report was a bunch of cables sticking out of the ground so maybe thats where the node is being place. Pretty close to my house if it is.
Mardi/Tuggerah area.

those cabinets dont take long to put in...like a week or less. but then be prepared to stare at that thing for the next year or so knowing its sitting there being all boring and doing nothing

Yeah we not due to go live until May next year :(
hey guys just some feedback on my connection fttn
was getting like 89/34 sync and download rate on my 100/40 connection
but started to get 20 disconnects a day when i looked into modem i saw that noise margin down was 7.2 but under load it would go down to 3.9 so the line was struggling trying to keep the fast connection
i have gone down to 50/20 and now i get no dropouts my noise margin down is 16.9 and doesn't change under load
so anyone considering higher connections if you getting low signal ratio downstream and is around 7 or 6db if you start getting drops consider dropping down a speed tier
I am on 100/40 plan and was getting around 37Mbps down and 12.8Mbpas up but was dropping out every few minutes but after complaining about it they "fixed it" by throttling me back to 20/7 wtf.
The amount of misinformation going around and the lack of organisation is still mind boggling, methinks. I've had the trench done and now the box is on the side of the house; had they done the neighbour and maybe the next one again, it'd have been an hour or two extra work on the same day...organisation, organisation!
Just a quick update on my Chittaway Bay aerial install. My appointment was today, the guy turned up on hour early so I wasn't home but my wife spoke to him. The short story is, he was expecting the box to be on the outside of the house, and it isn't.... so now I need to wait "a few weeks" for the other team to come out and install that, then they'll contact him and he'll come back
Glad I didn't have my hopes up!
Bummer, Dan!
It's the step 1, the outside hardware install from the pit to the house that would have to be organised first. Sounds like a cockup from the organisers TBH.
eg if the cable guy (this is the step 2) would have come to me without the trench & the outside box in place, I'd be in a similar predicament, I guess.
NBN appointment came... so basically wiring is screwed, sharing line with neighbors so they couldn't do it.
Attempted to run a new cable ( might explain the buy up of copper? ), and well, couldn't run it, looks like damage maybe from a tree root, so now need to get the lawn dug up to run new cable.
Needless to say but it won't be connected today. Disappointment.
ok mine came..the old guy did the thing that they do with the little machine thing.
said i was connected
go on the laptop and the modem page said connected and gave me line up and down speed.
try a webpage and it stops try to go to a webpage and the browser goes grey and displays a ip address in the url bar.
this was 90 mins ago..maybe it takes optus some time to press the button to make it go
I'd call optus. I notice on my activation thingy it's not even started. Think they don't do it until after its connected.
yeah i on the live chat now
the man whose name is " Ron" says it should be active by 6pm
he thinks i am my wife and he is talking all sweet to me. lololol
near on 6.30pm and still not activated
live chat just said wait one more hour
sigh
At least it's connected. I'm now in limbo as to when I can finally get connected.
Basically it could be tomorrow, it could be over a month before they come, fix the damage stopping new wiring to run through, then new copper being put in to finally connect me.
Quite frustrating.
near on 6.30pm and still not activated
live chat just said wait one more hour
sigh
so, I take it that live chat logs off in 30 minutes
these people are surely messing with me now.
One hour later still not activated
yes it will be connected tonight.
buuuulllllllll
anyways...the man who cam says im 620 metres from the pillar. my modem is give me the following stats
http://i68.tinypic.com/16bwkfd.jpg
so yeah...
anyway you guys wait right here..im going back to that live chat again for the 5th time today
so yeah...
anyway you guys wait right here..im going back to that live chat again for the 5th time today
good luck
lol...2 mire times and two more people.
first one transferred me to nowhere and it disconnected.
then this one here is saying can i wait one more hour please.
thats the third person to say one more hour
they assure me i will be connected today
its after 8pm!!
Sometimes it is better to just ring them, or complain on twitter/facebook. I find livechat with any business to be hit and miss, though Telstra's livechat seems better than a lot of the others I have used.
ok, back on the chat for the 8th time now. ill go to these ...people.... every hour until i get an answer
oh ffs..ive found a bright spark now
Nancy
Is this a new order?
when did you place the order?
yeah so now 5.45 am and still not active. perhaps they are training their overseas call centre to press the " go" button
Just got a letter in the mail advising me I can connect to the NBN network.
Yet when I rang NBNCO they have no forecast on when it will be available at my address.
Great.
I'm on 2GRK-03-08
why ting them?
just ring an rsp.
RSP's have no idea either and refer me back to NbnCo

I have exactly the same issue on 2GRK-03-08. My address showed serviceable for a few hours on 6th Nov, when it was due to go live.
Placed an order, had install date booked for 1st Dec. Got told yesterday my address is no longer serviceable, and order has been cancelled, with no ETA on when I can connect.
Not Happy.

can those that have had "orders cancelled" give us any idea on line lengths either accurate ones or best guess estimates
wonder if distances from pillar or node are coming into play

New NBN appointment now put in for January effing 28th....... sigh
Also my lawn needs to be dug up for it... So much for that benefit huh Bill Morrow... Not that I really care about that. Will need to be done for quite a few properties on my street as well. $2680 per node estimation is laughable. Can easily see the blowout occuring for a lot of areas. The copper network wasn't built with any type of broadband in mind after all.
so 4.15pm still no active connection. So here we go again back to the live chat people.
Also my lawn needs to be dug up for it...
at a friends place they used a small horizontal boring machine to do the "trenching" so they only had a small hole in the lawn at a direction change, rather than a full on trench

then when its done it will be january 2017 before the press the button that says go
so 4.15pm still no active connection. So here we go again back to the live chat people.
you know the MAC address of your modem, the support staff should be able to see that, or at least the network people, so if they are not seeing a matching MAC address on the line then it is pointing to the fact that the your connection has been activated on the wrong line.
Might be worth a shot asking them this, if you can get past the 1st tier that is. I would also be demanding to be able to speak to a supervisor after this length of time

Welcome to the world of copper, you may not necessarily be closer, the copper could do all sorts of weird and wonderful things, or, you might have a line issue somewhere.
It really is a, hope you don't get the short end of the stick.
I need part of my copper relayed as it is, as it was so shoddy that I couldn't get connected at all, so yeah. Hopefully in the long run that will be a good thing.

yup seems so

I think that VDSL behave like ADSL in that there are various channels on the line.
On negotiating a connection the node electronics and the modem electronics negotiate what they can do and sometimes the uplard gets a few more slots and other times the download gets a few more.
You may find if you turn of the modem for a while then restart it that the up and down will shift and favour one direction over the other

Had NBN FTTN connected on Friday 4/12. Went with Optus. I do not want to use the Optus supplied modem due to it being very basic and not being able to get into it's settings to change anything.
Have been searching to find a modem/router that I can use that is VDSL capable and that has a phone port at the rear of it so I can connect our phone line to it as Optus uses VOIP for our phone service.
Can anyone assist in recommending a modem/router that will be suitable for my situation. We need something that has wireless that will cope with a large two-storey home and numerous devices plus I work from home so need reliability. Thanks in advance.

the problem is if you are using a modem not on the nbn� approved list and you have connection problems you may not get them looked at or you may be charged a fee to investigate the problems
have a read of this document section 7 http://www.nbnco.com.au/conte
but remember that in nbn� terms "customer" is the RSP not you
and good luck finding the list of approved models and firmware there is a FOI request in for the list, but nbn� claim it is not in the public interest so have refused to waive fees on the request
Excellent Speed You sure your @ approx 320 Mt.
It would have to be pretty close to that, when you include lead in.
Jman78 your a Skite :-) I'm at Gorokan on 2GRK03-1 and getting 20Mbps down and 7Mbps up on a 100/40 plan my ADSL2 was 12Mbps down and 0.8Mp\bps up. Suppose to have NBn out on Friday to check my line.
Has anyone been offered the Backup batteries in the case of blackouts? They were suppose to be supplied free.

if you are on FTTN, then no backup battery was ever offered, they were only available on FTTP connections
Back up batteries for what ?!
if you are on FTTN, then no backup battery was ever offered,
I have purchased a UPS, to keep my modem and cordless phone alive, when we have blackouts. Well �. until the batteries in the node go flat. It is a shame that we do not have a telephone system that has a big bank of batteries, say in a central location with a big backup generator, that will keep the telephones going in the event of a blackout.
Incase the power goes out.
well i get that part. but what are the batteries for? the fridge?
just an update.
4 days in and connection has been good.
ive only seen one drop out for a few mins whilst i was doing something.
in that time ive done 700 gig down and its all been good.
I also do an internet radio comedy show and the broadcast was awesome.
meh, only getting 50Mbps hasnt fazed me.
though my son...
Dad..i thought it would be quicker!
wtf?
no internet for 6 months and you complain about 50 Mbps?
damn kids

I have noticed there is no "feels quicker than before" like you do when you get a new computer.
When going from Dialup to Adsl to Adsl2 etc you could feel the change. Going from Adsl2 to FTTN is a bit meh, yeah you can download quicker and have more going but it doesn't feel snappier.
Thanks CW, but how can Telstra and Optus etc get away with advertising 100/40 available? A bit misleading don't you think?
I have taken it to a higher level and awaiting further testing.
Keep complaining and get out of your contract and try another ISP I would. At least that way you can see if its the ISP or if its the NBN side. And just to confirm this is FTTN yes?
Yes it it FTTN.

No NBN rep came to house, Optus just sent out modem after NBN said I was connected.
I don't have an alarm or filter installed.
The house wiring is good as house only 10 years old. Modem is in spare bedroom used as office, and maybe 5m in extra length than other telephone point in kitchen.
A rare sighting of work being conducted in 2GOS-07 � contractors looked to be doing aerial work on Glenrock Parade at the bottom of Sublime Point Avenue

A rare sighting of work being conducted in 2GOS-07 � contractors looked to be doing aerial work on Glenrock Parade at the bottom of Sublime Point Avenue
there has been a lot of NBN aerial fibre run in the southern end of Glenrock Parade, including on poles in front of some of the houses listed as getting FTTN and up into Nimbin Rd and Nimala Ave
Lots of Aerial fibre on Woy Woy Road run from around Horsefield Bay Road to Wattle Crec and into Woy Woy Bay Road also with a detour into Banyo Close
What I have noticed is that a lot of this fibre has been run at a clearance to the electrical mains so that only electrical lines people could legally work on it, in the FTTP areas they have mounted the pole mount multiports at a height and clearance that comms techs can work on them, in fact it is on occassions even on the 240V cross arms and no I am not talking about AUSGRID's own fibre runs, these are definitely nbn� fibre.
What I'm wondering with these aerial deploys, what is the current Telstra deployment mode ? Is this currently aerial ? If so why are they bothering with Ausgrid, why not use the Telstra poles ?

in most urban areas Telstra has no poles, they use the power companies poles

You could be right... I was thinking it was maybe like Bayline Drive (Point Clare) where Telstra have their own poles and aerial deploy in star like fashion � one pole services 5-7 houses.. What you say makes sense if Telstra have used Ausgrid poles in the past..
Telstra have their own poles and aerial deploy in star like fashion � one pole services 5-7 houses..
in the past, these have even been power company poles as they used to use them to run 1 cable across the road, for height clearance, and then split it to do 2 or 3 houses on the same side of the road as the pole
Do you know where the first point in the house is.. Be worth testing there.
Assume all your phones are disconnected?
The best place to test is the last socket in the run. If you put the modem at the first socket your creating an internal bridge tap which may reduce the sync speed.

Well I must be on the last socket then in the run. However, it wouldn't hurt to check the first socket.
Thanks
Well my house is within 100 steps of two FTTN boxes. Now just have to wait till May :(
And now magically 2GRK-03-08 is serviceable again.
Placing another order to see what happens this time....
What's happening with that area?
My mother recently moved into a house in Gorokan last week and to our surprise the day we moved her in was the day a letter arrived advising us that the address is now NBN ready.
Signed up to Belong and everything seemed to be going smooth until we received a call about an hour ago that a tech won't be able to visit for another three months? No further information was provided.
Sent an email to NBN Co but would it be best to sign up to ADSL2 at this point?
Cheers
Sent an email to NBN Co but would it be best to sign up to ADSL2 at this point?
Don't hold your breath waiting to get any sense out of NBN Co or anything at all really.
Haha yeah that was my feeling. Reading through previous posts I have found my answer anyway.
Might sign her up to a month by month adsl2 plan until they figure it out
Do you know where the first point in the house is.. Be worth testing there.
Assume all your phones are disconnected?
I connected up to the first point in the house which is the kitchen and with no phones connected and got these figures using Optus speed test. down 27.94Mbps up 9.33Mbps 9ms latency jitter is 1ms.
I tried again a few minutes later as the modem had shutdown and restarted. I got down 23.95Mbps up 2.87Mbps 10ms latency and jitter 928ms. The modem kept rebooting every minute or two and the reboot takes ages.
Optus has set my down speed to 20Mbps yet when i first connect up to Optus I was getting 37.41Mbps down and 12.37 up 8 ms latency. I was complaining to them that my speed was hopeless and I think what has happened is that my line is bad was dropping out so much they throttled me back and said that's as good as it gets. I'm 450m from the green cabinet and all along the street that crosses mine up the road at every intersection is a torpedo dome.
Sent an email to NBN Co but would it be best to sign up to ADSL2 at this point?
You can't from my understanding. Once an area is RFS on NBN, providers are no longer allowed to offer adsl. That's my understanding
I am in 2GRK-03-08 and last week I made several phone calls to both NBN and Telstra (current ADSL provider).
After being transferred around through several sales reps and NBN techs at Telstra, I finally talked to someone who simply said "NbnCo shows your area available but they haven't updated their address database". So the technician put though a "Go Order" or something similarly named through to NbnCo. This was on Wednesday from memory.
On Friday morning I received an email from a technician at NbnCo who I had previously spoken to saying my address was available for service. I rang Telstra a couple hours later and their records matched NbnCo and they could process the order.
Still waiting for further information, but if all goes well then I'm hoping for NBN by Christmas!
They'll have to do something as three month is a long time without the internet.
I'll call Belong tomorrow and see what they have to say.
My connection would fall under 2GRK-04-07
They'll have to do something as three month is a long time without the internet.
Ask for self install, seems to be possible if you already have a phone line
Ask for self install, seems to be possible if you already have a phone line
there is no instal.
you just plug in the modem and it goes.
they do need to send the telstra tech out to the cabinet though
See what happens. I contacted the NBN yesterday and they advised the house is serviceable & to contact the ISP again. So see what happens when I get around to contacting Belong again.
So see what happens when I get around to contacting Belong again.
Took about 24 hours after I got hooked up before my Belong modem kicked in. Belong are extremely helpful and fairly fast if you message them via Facebook.
Email I received back from Belong
"At the end of sign up, there is a calendar function that allows you to check NBN Co availability in your area and request a date for installation. We then try to accommodate your request when we place the order. According to notes on the account, the next available appointment given at that point in time was August 2016 and was escalated.
Two days later an attempt to reserve an appointment was made, with NBN Co's system not providing us with any available dates. We have been trying every few days to make an appointment since.
I do not know when the next available appointment is until NBN Co's system is back up and running again. Appointment availability is out of all service providers' control as NBN Co supply the appropriately skilled technicians to complete their work."
So not sure what to do from here just have to wait I suppose...
August 2016
wtf?
are nbn� deliberately trying not to connect some people in FTTN areas?
I wonder if that delay means they have to perform some sort of remediation on the lines in your particular area
Yeah just going around in circles with both NBN Co & Belong,
NBN Co just advised "As your enquiry is related to appointments issues please contact your Retail Service Provider (RSP) who will be able to assist you. If your RSP is encountering problems with the nbn booking system they will need to contact our back of house team called NOC. NOC can all be reach by the RSP not the customer."
and belong just sent me an email 30 second ago saying we will get a text once they have a date however the NBN Co system is down.
I feel like a project manager, I should just get a teleconference going put them both on the phone and tell them to figure it out. I don't particularly care as it's not my house however I do not want my mother to move into her new place with no internet what so ever as she will be at my place every second day using my net! Nooooooooooooooooooo!
As I said previous put us on ADSL2 and you'll never hear from us again!
Anybody have any in-depth knowledge of how Killcare Heights is coming along, other than whats on the website of approx. Feb 2016?
sorry, double post
The dates on the following page are they accurate?
www.telstrawholesale.com.au/
That has my date set for August 2016 where as the mynbn website recently changed it to 1st April from May.
So what is with the TPG pit lid that has appeared with all the new work along Ocean Beach Rd in Woy Woy? Is TPG going to go head to head with NBN?
So what is with the TPG pit lid that has appeared with all the new work along Ocean Beach Rd in Woy Woy? Is TPG going to go head to head with NBN?
which side of OB Road?
On the council yard side there were people pulling in poly comms conduit through the existing ducts, some companies that use Telstras ducts use their own conduit inside to keep their cables seperate.
TPG may be running fibre for Vodafone's mobile phone network I believe they have an agreement for that
It is on the other side (western side) near dunalban. It looks to be related to the massive rolls of white conduit they have been running to the exchange.
It is on the other side (western side) near dunalban
yeah, saw horizontal drilling happening down that side, but some of the trucks had NBN labelling on them.
Curious and curiouser

Lots of pits being opened up and cables going everywhere this morning around Mardi. Boxes being worked on as well.
I've been wondering myself what kind of speeds I will be getting in Woy Woy on NBN when it finally goes live in February. Does anyone here know what kind of speeds will be available to those living on Miami Ave?
Does anyone here know what kind of speeds will be available to those living on Miami Ave?
It all depends on how far away from the Node you are. Try and find which one you are connecting to and measure the distance and that will give you a rough idea.
Thanks Rendrag for all the information on my distance from the node.

you are around 800 metres from the node so somewhere about 50/10 Mbps I would guess, but yes, it does depend on the condition of the copper in your path
50 down 10 up would be a nice upgrade over what I am currently using, a smartphone with 4G/H+ and a measly 13gb which seems to get used up most of the time. I don't like having to watch my data usage like a hawk so a plan that gives me say 200gb of data would be most welcome.
Connected Draytek 130 with attainable at 71 Down 26 up @ 350m off Rudd Road Node in Hamlyn Terrace.
Will be trying a Netcomm NF4V soon.

can you please post all the settings that you have enabled on this modem and the firmware version over in this thread
whrl.pl/Rew2f9 to help others get one working if they have it
thanks

would be great to grab your settings � im planning on using this one in bridged mode with fttn
Looks like they came and dug up my lawn yesterday for the cable, just a small patch it seems. Hopefully everything went well, and by next Thursday I will be connected finally. Not holding my breath though.
Has anyone else had issues with their copper and needed new copper to be laid?
Anyone know why http://fttn.mynbn.info/ doesnt work anymore? Was trying to find some node locations but that page hasnt work for a while now.
hi razalom,
Maybe you should try = www.mynbn.info/map
This is the one I have permanently book marked.
cheers
This is the one I have permanently book marked.
Its not updated enough and shows no info for my address yet another page shows that contruction started in my area almost 2 months ago
This whole NBN with the FTTP/FTTN and the lack of roll out information is so half baked
Anyone know why http://fttn.mynbn.info/ doesnt work anymore? Was trying to find some node locations but that page hasnt work for a while now.
I believe it is because the speed estimates were not matching what is happening in the real world.
The estimates were calculated with what was known at the time and with how nbn� have set up their VDSL speeds seem to be higher than the estimates
I think they were going to try and come up with a new and more accurate way of doing it, but no idea how that is going
Says a lot for the rollout
If they have messed up this bit then the speed people will end up getting for FTTN will most likely be much worse then expected
Mynbn is a third party site.
Real world results have come in better than its estimates
Ok thanks for the info. I was just trying to find node locations more than the speed estimate.

EDIT: TPG street checker WORKS for 2WOY-06!!
Same here on 2WOY-04 :D
I will place an order when I can tonight.
EDIT: TPG street checker WORKS for 2WOY-06!!
some show 2WOY-06 active and some still don't.
Have fun folks
So I rang TPG, they said the only speed they would offer me is 12mbps lol
Tried iinet, it shows the address as ready, but wont let me add the product. It only lets me add adsl plans. On hold for 45mins-1hr
I'm in 2WOY-04. St Hubert's Island. NBN installation date next Thursday 8-2. Turned down Wednesday, but it's certainly live.

Thursday is the date it gets cutover, or does a tech actually have to lock in a site visit time for some reason?
I just checked a mate's address in Iluka Road Umina and it is serviceable � lucky bugger
No luck for me in Point Clare
Assuming just a cutover date and confirmation that I should plug the new modem in, sometime when advised by whoever plugs me into the node on Thursday.
Wednesday was available but didn't work for me.
for some reason TPG is only offering 12mbps plans to two addresses I have tried in 2woy06 (my place and a mates). When I spoke to them on the phone they said the NBN database shows the service max speed. I am only 400m from the node (measured by the last Telstra tech who came on site). He knew where the cable ran.
Is this over the phone, or when you try online it only lets you choose the 12mbps plans? If it's the latter, try an address that you know is right next to a node/pillar, just to see what happens.

I tried the address with the node in their driveway and it still says 12mb on TPG website.

wonder if TPG have stuff all capacity left out of Gosford CSA
or if their or nbn� tools are stuffed up
or if their or nbn� tools are stuffed up
Guess we'd need to wait until another ISP shows the same areas as available, then see if you can get more than 12mbps using their ordering system.
I am on hold with iiNet at present while they are checking the speed.. stay tuned. If they also say 12mb I think I will just book it with TPG (my preferred) and let it get sorted out later
Edit: IiNet said that their database doesn't show a maximum which is unusual, it just shows 12 up to 100. I just booked it at 25 with no contract. He said I can go up to 100 for free if I wanted to try at some point
Well I just put it through Telstra and TPG. It seems like it will let me order the full 100/40 Mb/s service but I'm not sure if it's actually qualifying the service.
I'm on hold with TPG at the moment. The sales guy earlier today said I could get on 100/40, but I just got an email stating 12/1 only. Hoping to get a clearer response from them. Does anyone know where we can find the locations of the nodes around our area? #2WOY-04
Edit: 25 download in the confirmed maximum for me.
my location in umina beach woy-06 giving success on address check TPG:
"Congratulations! You can sign up for TPG NBN Fibre to the Node (FTTN) Bundle.
We're happy to give you a call to assist you in signing up. Click here to leave your details with us"
Does anyone know where we can find the locations of the nodes around our area? #2WOY-04
Kudos to Dazed & Confused
Tall Aussie, read back a few posts.. It looks like NBN hasn't put anything in the database for estimated max speed so it could be that TPG just defaults to the lowest. I would just book it in if TPG allow speed changes
NVM, see the link above.
I would just book it in if TPG allow speed changes
It says on their site that there is no charge to change plans/speeds, but naturally it'd be best if you could order above 12/1 from the start... I don't know if speed changes would have to wait until the next billing month or not.
Someone that is trying this � PM a TPG rep / make a post in the TPG forum. They can hopefully get the issue on their system fixed or at least give some clarification.
It works ok. I will be interested to see if the iiNet modem does any better. Anyway, I am in 2WOY-06, 400m from the node and I am syncing at about 28mb down and 6.4mb up\
Well I guess that's a bit of an improvement on those using ADSL2+ @20 Mbps who live within 1Km of an exchange!
Still you have to wonder if the extra couple of Mbps is worth the $56 billion they are spending on MTM.
I am in 2WOY-06, 400m from the node
What does your node look like? There's a new green box with vents secured by a shiny new padlock about 300m from our place. Is that the node?

look closer around that green box "Pillar" and you will see the Node looks like a small topedo with handles on the side.
EDIT: out of curiosity, I am on the 25mb plan, is the sync speed related to this? Or could I potentially sync higher if I paid for the higher plan? I wouldnt have a clue
Yeah I'm pretty sure your only syncing at that rate because your on that plan. What i can't figure out is why i'm only syncing at 30mbps on the TPG supplied Huawei and a dismal 20mbps on a Dlink dsl-2877AL :( and im on a 100/40 plan. i have a tpg engineer calling tomorrow.
Btw, kowcop, out of interest what is your Line attenuation?
mine is ~ Downstream line attenuation (dB) 18.6
Upstream line attenuation (dB) 7.7
I think it might be playing a part in my rubbish speeds
Also, how do i figure out the exact distance from the node? I'm sure there was a website to tell exactly i used once. (Outside of actually walking with a distance measure app or something).
Actually by using directions and google maps, i can see i'm exactly 500m by road to the node.
Yeah I'm pretty sure your only syncing at that rate because your on that plan.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you will actually always sync at whatever general max your line can get, regardless of the plan you are on. The shaping takes place further along.

Cheers, thx.
That's very attractive, and a handy buffer stop for a runaway vehicle.
Back on topic: Haven't seen one of these in our street, so I need to go hunting, because apparently we are "live", but still unable to connect.
stupid thought.
i have two sockets in my house. one syncs with my dlink dsl-2877AL at 20mbps, the other in bedroom syncs at 31mbps (im on 100/40 plan). Both sync rates are obviously disappointing slow. The bedroom phone socket is technically closer to the entry point of the copper into my house. this indicates that either my lines are pretty rat sh1t and i should get recabled, or actually moving closer to the front of my house is in turn litterally moving my modem closer to my node. I am right at ~ 500-510 meters so at the cliff drop of point in vdsl2 speeds.
So my crazed thought, is if i had a technician put a new socket with new wire as close as possible to the entry point from the street this would reduce my modem distance to the node by probably 25m and presumably improve my sync rate right? Is there any method to that madness?
Also, how do i figure out the exact distance from the node? I'm sure there was a website to tell exactly i used once.
You want the line distance, which could vary from the road distance. I'm sure in the Modems / Routers threads there are experts who can tell the distance by looking at your SNR, POQ and STP (or whatever) numbers.
i have two sockets in my house. one syncs with my dlink dsl-2877AL at 20mbps, the other in bedroom syncs at 31mbps (im on 100/40 plan).
This may not answer your question at all, sorry if it doesn't, but modems come with different chipsets. Some chipsets are best for short distances and others perform better over long distances. It's probably worth getting some advice for your particular line length if you want to eke out the most performance.
ut modems come with different chipsets. Some chipsets are best for short distances and others perform better over long distances.
Sorry i think my post was misleading, i meant, with the *same* dlink modem, it syncs consistantly at 20mbps in one socket, then at 30mbps on the other socket (which is closer to front of house).
But yeah thanks for your advice, I really need to figure out the correct line distance.
But yeah thanks for your advice, I really need to figure out the correct line distance.
YVW. Pretty sure the SNR-type numbers will tell u that. Go look at the Modems threads. Pete Y Testing over there knows his stuff: /user/4641
Spotted a tradie ute tailing a truck with the NBN logo plastered on the back of it on the corner of Bayline Drive/Jirrah Ave this morning in Point Clare.
Didn't stop to see what they were up to but there's that for what it's worth lol.
Still not seeing this new 2GOS-07 RFS for the 19th that a few others have, but nevertheless i'm getting excited for the 100th time pre-delay.
I saw maybe 4 cherry picker trucks outside the shops at Tascott early this morning, likely working on aerial installs for 2GOS07
I am in 2WOY-06, 400m from the node and I am syncing at about 28mb down and 6.4mb up
check if your modem indicates something like max synch rate or max attainable line rate.
quite often if on a low plan you may synch at a level sufficient for the plan
I saw maybe 4 cherry picker trucks outside the shops at Tascott early this morning, likely working on aerial installs for 2GOS07
they are having Glenrock Parade closed over the last and maybe the next few days during "work hours"
not sure if it was for road, AUSGRID or nbn� work
....Still not seeing this new 2GOS-07 RFS for the 19th that a few others have, but nevertheless i'm getting excited for the 100th time pre-delay.
Yes if you're looking on the Telstra rollout list .pdf file they've left off the future expected RFS section again and only included areas already RFS section. This happens sometimes, perhaps when list has to be updated more often than usual when nbn again fails to meet expected RFS dates for some areas.
Also mynbn.info hasn't updated from Feb 5th yet, maybe 2GOS-07 has failed to meet expected RFS date so many times now that jxeeno has given up on us or perhaps he's busy at University or elsewhere.
http://telstrawholesale.com.
The full list can be found on the Telstra rollout list Excel file with future expected RFS dates including 2GOS-07 on the 2nd tab "Expected RFS-DCD".
http://telstrawholesale.com.
If you haven't got it already or something else suitable, you'll need to download and install Microsoft Office Excel Viewer to read the Excel file.
Good to hear of work continuing in various different parts of 2GOS-07.
To be honest, perhaps just a little excited, bought a new RT-AC87U router with eBay 10% discount just in case. May not help in peak time if recent Woy Woy FTTN connections overwhelm Gosford CSA CVC capacity of most RSPs but at least it should go well in off peak times.
Main thing will be finally an end to the inconvenience, frustration and annoyance caused by frequent internet dropouts and disconnections after it rains.
Btw, kowcop, out of interest what is your Line attenuation?
Downstream Upstream
SNR Margin 29.3 dB 18.0 dB
Line Attenuation 11.7 dB 2.4 dB
Data Rate 28012 kbps 6399 kbps
I don't know how to read this.. is it good or bad?
That's pretty decent if you enter your line attenuation in here it says (as a rough guide), that you could achieve 45mbps Max give or take at least 10%
http://www.speedguide.net/dsl_speed_calc.php
Higher the SNR the better, I believe it should be over 6DB and lower the attenuation the better. Attenuation is background noise interference. It will grow higher the longer your cable and if the cable is of worse quality. For example your attenuation is ~11 dB while mine is ~18 dB. SNR signal to noise ratio or margin is the volume of signal your modem sends vs the background noise, it must be higher than the noise for the receiving equipment to hear. So yours is 29 db mine is only 6! So i think that's good too. That's my very rough understanding of it anyway. But imo of you wanted more speed your line quality and distance should support it.
Well I guess that's a bit of an improvement on those using ADSL2+ @20 Mbps who live within 1Km of an exchange!
Still you have to wonder if the extra couple of Mbps is worth the $56 billion they are spending on MTM.
Coming from someone who is nearly 6kms from an exchange, I am glad they spent the money.
Suffering ADSL sync speeds of less than 3mbps for 10 years, I would be happy with 20mbps.
ADSL line limit is supposed to be 3.5km from an exchange, many ISP's would not offer me a service at all.
2GOS-07 Saw a contractor doing connections in an NBN cabinate
Also on the corner of Talinga and Brisbane Water DR opposite Aldi about an hour ago! Hoping they are very closing to finishing up.
have you tried address checkers at Internode or devoted?
https://secure2.internode.o
also enter your address into http://www.nbnco.com.au it will usually tell you correctly if it is available at your premises
or into
https://mynbn.info and it should list your service status
Internode � listed adress as Woy Woy � No service
Devoted � "Oh no! We were unable to find an address which matches your query on our database :(" but listed in database.
Also some interesting observation for some houses at Shoalhaven. For instance 39
Telstra indicates it as either Woy Woy and Umina Beach but allow to choose only Woy Woy and service available.
nbnco list same house as Umina Beach only with no service.

ah, the old address database mismatch
here is the official boundary
but in the past some people have used either Woy Woy or Umina or Umina Beach when hear the borders and the post office used to deliver properly, even if the suburbs were slightly wrong.
It is also complicated by the fact that all numbers come from the Woy Woy exchange so an address mismatch may be less likely to cause a problem with Telstra than other providers.
It is also complicated by the fact that the copper DA straddles 2 suburb areas :(
It looks like you will need your address corrected in the databases, but that request I believe has to be done by an ISP/RSP
also nbn� maps have not yet updated on the area that went RFS on Friday, which 37 Shoalhaven Drive falls into 2WOY-07
it also seems that quite a few places in Shoalhaven Drive and all of Warramunga Place are not in nbn�'s database (shakes head)
ah, the old address database mismatch
Ha,
Google report is as Umina but Gosford council still have it as Woy Woy on all rate notices. So who is right ?

the fact that nbn� seem to have no data on Warramunga Place is amazing as the houses there have all existed from before 2007
I am guessing that nbn� call it Umina Beach as that is the postal Boundary, Gosford calls it Woy Woy so it doesn't show up
maybe try and ring the nbn� "help" line and ask how to get your location rectified

Thanks. I already send questions to nbnco as webpage does not have phone numbers listed
I'm on Warramunga and both Telstra and TPG said it was available on Saturday the 13th. The border from council is our back fence (south side). Both of above service providers list as Woy Woy, NBN as Umina. Signed up on Sunday, modem on its way but concerned can't find any of the nodes near by, there is one in Hillview near train line but that's a long way away!
I'll let you know how it goes.
Over the weekend on Saturday 2GOS-07 Tascott Bluewaters, techs in the pit down from the Fibre cabinet with cables, and also at the Cabinet 2GOS-07-05. On Sunday in 2GOS-07, wife spoke to nice man in the Van (won't mention the company but it was the ones originally working on the fibre trunk through here) who was working on the fibre connections down the pit at Murrumbooee and Bluefish. Says that missing 2 fibre cables that connect Tascott back to Gosford, hence the activity here to sort that out and stopping us and probably other parts going live. Apparently they were working here last year and then were pulled out by ? (NBN or the Liberals, what, no political interference?) to do work at The Entrance on FTTN, with Tascott **being left incomplete**, so I guess he's not a fan of either party. So, I guess the jury is out as to whether NBN were pushed, or they jumped, into doing that, and leaving the current mess, and also mis-informing the local member(s) as to the correct status of 2GOS-07 Point Clare/Tascott/Koolewong and part of West Gosford. Seemingly though, complaints to both the Senate committee members and the local members/opposition folk are having some effect to clear the smoke, so keep them coming. So in Tascott we have had Visionstream, CCTS, The Turks from Sydney doing the street to house connections and now one of them back again. So much for consistency. Labor has it from the NBN that is was water in the infrastructure between Dec and Feb that caused the miss. So clearly not just the outstanding aerial connections as per NBN back end last year. NBN blowing smoke up everyone's a** including the sitting member and the Senate. So at this rate, being the 15th, the 19th is looking like a major push if these are not the only outstanding items. Crystal ball on folks, more like end Feb say another 2 weeks, depending on what's found and any long runs to fix. Keep on watching.

I'm in 2WOY-07-07 which went RFS last Friday. Called Internode (existing customer) this morning and asked to switch to an NBN plan. They are going to confirm they can deliver the service and will then send me a "modem".
I'm about one kilometre from the node so I'm not expecting stellar sync rates or speed but I'll post here when it gets connected.
A few months back I signed up on the NBN website to be notified when service is available at my address. It will be interesting to see when that arrives (if ever).
A few months back I signed up on the NBN website to be notified when service is available at my address. It will be interesting to see when that arrives (if ever).
Me to, and getting hooked 16/2 2woy-05-04 (well thats the current plan).
On the way out took a drive up the top "loop" of Wendy Dr this afternoon. Poles now have multiports on them with coiled loops of black fibre. Aerial work was proceeding at around Nos. 91-97.
Don't think there were any coils of fibre on the poles when I last drove up there probably within the last 2-3 weeks. So I'd say it's likely some or a lot of this aerial work there has happened after the last missed 2GOS-07 expected RFS date.
There's quite a few other steep and not so steep streets with aerial lines at this end of 2GOS-07, when you combine it with all those in Koolewong makes me curious about just how many total aerial installations. Wouldn't surprise me if it is higher than 10% of the 2,673 total. No wonder we keep getting put in the too hard basket here.
Don't know if coils of fibre waiting ready on the poles is as far as they go before RFS and those aerial installations will be demand drop. If those of us with PCDs already installed since early last year have to wait until all the aerial premises have PCDs installed then expected RFS of 19th is unfortunately another misleading fiction from nbn and we'll all be rooned said Hanrahan if these ere delays don't cease. We'll find out soon.
Possibly jumping the gun a bit but I'm ready anyhow, my new RT-AC87U router arrived today. Big bugger it is, less expensive RT-AC68U would have worked fine but the upright style was unsuited to where it would have likely been placed.
Here's hoping Bluey3G is close with the RFS date. At the back corner of Tascott no ADSL as too far from exchange at least that's what every ISP told me even after 2 or 3 goes over 18 months. In Clipper Crescent and had PCD installed a couple of weeks ago.
In October 2015 I must have exceeded my 15GB allotment of mobile broadband ($54.95 per month for the honour ha ha) yet again and become cranky enough to send a message to the Minister for Communications. I was pleasantly surprised with the speedy of reply the very next morning (cc Lucy Wicks), copied here below but deleting the name of the Ministerial staffer or public service departmental liaison officer. I have been biding my time to see if the prophecy came to pass. Given the passage of time most of the elements seem reasonably accurate. I hope end Feb is on the money it will be like being able to breath after strangulation from small data allowance!
'Thank you for contacting the Minister for Communications.
I have received advice from nbn that your area is to commence nbn connections in February. The key reason for the delay is the requirement for all aerial cabling designs to be certified by the local electricity authority, which allows nbn to string cabling along the company�s power poles at various locations within the construction area. Unfortunately Tascott has a high proportion of fibre cabling being deployed overhead and nbn is somewhat at the mercy of the electricity authority to certify each submitted design which then authorises the construction.
I trust this information will assist but if you require any further assistance please feel free to contact your local MP, Lucy Wicks (cc�d). Lucy is in regular contact with nbn staff and can update you on any further developments in your area.'
Speaking as a Tascott aerial install job with no PCD, no cabling and serious doubts it will happen in my lifetime I hope they get a move on.
I'm planning on ceremonially burning my Vodafone, Telstra and Optus mobile broadband USB adapters in my wife's fire pit the moment I can get real Internet access. There will be incense, chanting and a blessing of the fibre for good luck and high pings.
I trust this information will assist but if you require any further assistance please feel free to contact your local MP, Lucy Wicks (cc�d). Lucy is in regular contact with nbn staff and can update you on any further developments in your area.'
I am somewhat dubious that Lucy Wicks could find beer in a brewery.
As to knowing what's happening in her area regarding one of the largest public sector projects ever cocked up in this country .... I leave that to your fertile imagination.
FWIW dunno if anyone else has said this but NBN might as well stand for No Bloody Network.
I'm about one kilometre from the node
I am really interested in seeing your sync speeds from this, I had my line run by rendrag and the nearest pillar is 900 meters away, to see what you get will either give me hopes or make me cry
FWIW dunno if anyone else has said this but NBN might as well stand for No Bloody Network.
and the new improved MTM part of it stands for Make Telstra Money
I am over 1000 meters from my pillar, with another 60ish to the node.
Still trying to organise a switch over which will permit me to keep my phone number, but ported to a RSP VOIP service, not so simple
im out at bensville . rollout map said 12/2/16 for my area to go live but map hadnt been updated . talked to optus last night and they said it is liveand there in the process of upgrading me now (sending new modem ,call from connection guys in a few days)
There will be incense, chanting and a blessing of the fibre for good luck and high pings.
A great idea and should be fun, however the main blessing should be for the copper from the pillar to you. Good luck.

In Miami Ave Woy Woy...Tried Belong and tried NBNCo websites this morning. Still...still nothing. Belong directs me to their ADSL offers and NBNCo says that building has commenced.
What???
I would guess as most FTTN (as designed) does not require a site visit as it SHOULD be able to be done remotely.
but, your existing physical connection to the netowrks is disconnected
a new connection, using the copper from the pillar is made to an entirely different network
under FTTP you could keep FTTP and copper based services active
under FTTN you cannot keep existing services active, and you may lose your phone number and if on the Coast be given a Sydney based number.
Try ringing the cabs on the 131008, in that scenario, and see how you go talking to Taxis Combined rather than Central Coast Taxis
certain things needed to be mandated under FTTN but were not
Tried Belong and tried NBNCo websites this morning
Telstra Wholesale list 2WOY-07 as RFS
NBNCo maps are very slow to update
Belong are well....
Internode says you can get it
Telstra says the street can get it, but your block may not (guess they are still thinking that small MDUs will need a bespoke fibre connection)
edit:-some typos
Hearing rumours through the NBN chain that 2GOS-07 will be delayed again until the 23rd.....Here we go!
looks like no real congestion with Telstra.
what are your sync rates?
If I knew where/how to get would happily advise ! (bit out of my knowledge band)
18/2 @ 1000 23.70/4.59 L= 1 J= 3
you may lose your phone number and if on the Coast be given a Sydney based number.
I ordered my number to be ported to TPG VoIP. Its a great number, and we have had it for 15+ years..
Getting a Sydney number just does not make sense in this and age of smart routing of phone calls.
How would emergency services go with it, Pizza delivery, omg, the list goes on... :)
In which month of which year *shaking head mournfully*
I ordered my number to be ported to TPG VoIP

Bundle. Actually about the same price as ADSL plus Telstra phone line rental.
Includes caller ID, which is extra cost @ Telstra...
if anyone interested. I had 3 phone sockets was getting ~30mbps, after TPG guy came, without full overhaul of my wiring which required access to roof cavity he simply removed some of the old piggy backing wiring behind my sockets, and disconnected 1 so I know how just 2 sockets active. I went from 30mbps to 42mbps. He said because I'm at ~700mts from node/pillar that every socket removed has a large increase in speed. The further from an exchange the more it matters. From his experience, if ~ 200-500mtrs from exchange you should expect at least 5mbps speed increase at removal of each socket. (if below maximum connection speed).
He also commented, that generally the vendor supplied modems (at least for now) will be the best connection speed, especially with TPG, who use the huawei modem. This is because they will constantly be in communication with the modem supplier to optimise equipment and firmware. (I had a Dlink modem and was getting -5mbps connection compared to the huawei).
So yeah, if your getting lower than expected connection speed, its best to bypass any extra phone points, they introduce noise and reduce sync speed substantially, also make sure to use the vendor modem bridged until the 3rd party modems mature.
Thanks for the update Rob.
Interesting, as I have three phone sockets, two with black cable (leadin) the third is an addition.
Not long after we moved in 13 or so years ago, we found the previous people had two separate phones, so we had them linked, so all sockets worked with the one line in...
I might have to revisit this..
As for modem, you have the new Hauwei? You mentioned bridging?? Do you have VoIP as well?
Does it all work, can you screen shot me your modem settings? I get errors on mine.. PM will be good..
:)
any idea of your node or your current copper DA/pillar/Rim?
I'm on adsl with Internode currently however no idea about your question, sorry, but if you tell me how I could figure it out � I would.
NBN node would most likely be Node WOYY:44 or Node WOYY:118, need to figure it out as well as our place is equally distanced from both.
I could figure it out � I would.
I had a guy on here run a full SQ test on my line, while it was still active, told me exactly how many joins in the cable, the full distances and the node/pillar I was running from.
You are down my way. Old section or the swamp? :)
I would guess that the newer section would be serviced from 118, Neera Rd and surrounds would be from 44.
I'm 90% sure a node has been put in out front of where I live (this is in 2ERN-03). It's a green cabinet, I haven't gotten close enough to confirm.
If so I will be approx. 144m from the node.
tapestry way, mate, we moved there recently so I've no idea about local namings yet :)
tapestry way,
That would be consider the new section. It used to be a swamp... I am just around the corner.
You would be on WOYY:118 too.
Edit, just checked the map and you could be WOYY:116 too. Its on the corner of Taperstry and Cowper.
As for modem, you have the new Hauwei? You mentioned bridging?? Do you have VoIP as well?
Does it all work, can you screen shot me your modem settings? I get errors on mine.. PM will be good..
I'd be very interested in this as well... The Huawei is pretty crap re connecting to my NAS and would like to use my Asus wireless router instead.
Tapestry Way is fed from the node near the Park in Cowper Road
so you will be 2Woy-02-06
listed in my maps as WOYY:118
on a side note, found the node for Horsfield Bay it is located on the grass here
just down the street from the pillar https://www.google.com.au/map
Hearing rumours through the NBN chain that 2GOS-07 will be delayed again until the 23rd.....Here we go!
Where did you hear that?
I've started building a map of the NBN nodes in Tascott which you can see here. Only two points at the moment. Will add more as I find them.
Daaaamn, that's not bad at all!!!! :)
I fear the cliff aka the knee of the curve is at about 500 metres
if my current RSP would accept my landline number on a port I would be online now.
My over 1000 metres node to premises will prove interesting
Yes, very happy.
from my ADSL of 1.0/0.09 average, it is a slight improvement..
Dazed, 1000m? Really? I thought the max VDSL was 800.
I guess the max ADSL was 5000, I was over that too...
Have been advised by Telstra that 2WOY (North Burge Road) shoud be ready for service today.Any other customers or providers confirm that ?
Whats the latest with 2GOS-07? Anyone called an ISP today :)
Have been advised by Telstra that 2WOY (North Burge Road) shoud be ready for service today
Is this the type of question that a Telstra Level 1 Support / Live Chat can answer? Or do you need to ask to speak to someone else?
Trying to get an update on 2LJT-05 but people I speak to at Telstra have no idea ...
2WOY-07-17 was RFS on 15 February 2015 and I lodged my application with iiNet. iiNet phoned me today to tell me that NBNCo has moved 2WOY-07-17 (Woy Woy Bay) back to service class 10 (not serviceable) this week.
All the SQ websites still show it as serviceable. Anyone in the ADA have a similar (or different!) experience, or is it just iiNet stuffing around?
......and yes its been connected today.
Ordered cutover with Telstra on the 25/02/16 , modem and Telstra TV being sent out.
Got NBN L with 1tb data on Tier 2 for $99. Will update with speeds then.
Hi All,
Been lurking on this thread for some time now as I've been awaiting service ready for my area � Kincumber (2WOY-08-05)
Which went ready on Friday last week. My order was placed shortly after, with Dodo.
My question here is how long is the wait for a technician to come at attend premise?
Dodo say its dependent on the provider.
Also � what do they actually need to do onsite?
And has anyone else got connected in Kincumber yet?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

interesting Jxeeno has that area listed as RFS but premises as not yet serviceable
They have a little note on them which says
Note! This area went live in the past few days. This service qualification information may not be up-to-date.
The entire 2WOY-07 area is showing as not yet serviceable.
That is a new one, declare an area ready but no premises are actually serviceable
The entire 2WOY-07 area is showing as not yet serviceable.
I know someone in this area. Had the appointment this week, and then on the day was told it had been delayed until 7th March due to a "technical issue".
I am in 2WOY-12 (Davistown) and have the same issue, area is showing as not yet serviceable yet went RFS 15th Feb. My request for FTTN connection through Internode is being rejected with an error 'unable to transition service'. No word yet as to what is causing this.
Note! This area went live in the past few days. This service qualification information may not be up-to-date.
I'm in Green Point and checked address on NBN Co.
Result was " available now ... our address will be connected to the nbn� network via fixed line technology."
Hey Waterview,
We connected last week (signed up on Friday before and they came the next Tuesday). Basically the ISP asked someone to be home in case the technician needed to go onto the premise. They didn't.
From what I know, the action occurred at the node (?) where the technician disconnect my phone line from the exchange and connected it to the NBN fiber cable. Went off without a hitch.
Only issue is the reliability of speeds. I'm paying for 25/5 and have seen it drop down to 0.5-1 MB/sec download a couple of night during peak times. During the day average is 15/4, rarely getting over 20 MB/sec download (as I'm typing it is currently 8/3). From what I know this is happening all over the coast and not just with my supplier (Harbour ISP). It's actually pretty comparable to Club Telco ADSL 2+ speeds and price. Hopefully it becomes more reliable over time.
TA
I've been looking at the map on MyNBN.info to survey the areas that have been made active ahead of 2GOS-07 and feeling a little frustrated because we have been left waiting again and again, watching another RFS date go by. However, it is obvious who has been absolutely shafted in all this. Kariong was on the rollout plan for FTTP, yet Today they are still not even on the 3 year plan.
According to this 2GOS-07's FTTP has been delayed to 25th February (next Thursday). This is reminiscent of what we in 2GOS-06 experienced over the last 2 years.
Funnily enough, it mentions a '2GOS-20' due for RFS next year... fed from the Wollongong 2 CSA. WTF is this? Might it be the brown patch in 2GOS-06? Or perhaps Kariong or Somersby?
Or perhaps Kariong or Somersby?
according to mynbn.info 2GOS-20 is Kariong Somersby
http://www.mynbn.info/sa/2GOS click on the Fixed Line Roll Out tab
now who feels like graphing line rates vs distance?
I've got a scatterplot with what I've found on here of speeds, at 38 points and could do with more. I might start up a thread and get more FTTN speeds.

there is already a thread in existence though not CC specific /forum-replies.cfm?r=49180354#r49180354
you may be able to milk some results from there, but having a graph CC specific might be nice
According to this 2GOS-07's FTTP has been delayed to 25th February (next Thursday)....
Yes that list also shows 2LJT-05 delayed from 17th February to 25th February.
2LJT-05 was "Construction Commenced" in December 2012 and "Build Commenced" in June 2014 so they too have been repeatedly delayed for many years almost as long as 2GOS-07.
FTTN 2GOS-20 shows as 3,200 premises, whereas FTTP 2GOS-08 it replaces was 2,600 premises. Wonder where the extra 600 premises are located? Just curious because parts of Somersby have very long distances between properties so FTTN wouldn't work well there.
there is already a thread in existence though not CC specific /forum-replies.cfm?r=49180354#r49180354
Already milked that thread. I'll try to put a CC only one up soon. Just checking with mods if I can start up a thread dedicated to getting speed tests from FTTN as current ones seem to be mainly discussion.
I got told that I was the ONLY house on the block showing as being able to get a service when I spoke to Optus yesterday.
are you near a "suburb" boundary?
It seems that a lot of premises showing as not connectable may be listed under the adjacent suburb in the database and when it is input into the mapping program the address can thus not be found.
There is a whole string of premises on one side of the road on Woy Woy Bay Road that show as unconnectable as Google maps says they are on Woy Woy Bay, but their address is in Pheagans Bay according to the council and Australia Post
Similar things are seen in areas around the Woy Woy/Umina boundary

I'm in Glenn St, so part of the aerial rollout.
I'm thinking the only reason I was showing up was because I complained to Optus just the week before (after their tech never showed up) and they may have tried to confirm with NBN Co. so it's possible the entire area is already good to go, it's just that I'm the only one they've actually confirmed.
The whole area is purple on the NBN Co rollout map though.
And whatever is going on at the exchange is causing DNS dropouts and disconnects during prime time ADSL2 usage -_-

+1 to that � it's killing me atm. Since about 11:30am yesterday, my ADSL2 connnection has gone to shite!
And whatever is going on at the exchange is causing DNS dropouts and disconnects during prime time ADSL2 usage -_-
that could also I am afraid be Optus issues, maybe their DSLAMs don't play nice with nbn� VDSL services being injected into the copper bundles.
The node you will be connected to would appear to be the node near the park in Veron Rd and your pillar seems to be on the corner of Glenn and Veron
I applied for NBN FTTN on 7 February when the Woy Woy area went RFS.
I was given a 22 Feb conversion date. I'm still currently on my old naked DSL service and NBN Co has provided no details of what went wrong or when it will be done to my ISP. Full radio silence :)
I would suggest the FTTN trial is not going too well.
2LJT-05 just went RFS this afternoon. Order placed with TPG for 100/40 Unlimited. Praise Jebus, the rapture is here.
According to myNBN, 2GOS-07 did too.
Congratulations guys. It's been such a long wait, I can't believe how painful it must have been to watch the dates just slip away into the abyss. Enjoy your FTTP, you're about to join the club of fastest home internet users in Australia.
According to myNBN, 2GOS-07 did too
Yep. I got the alert too.
Big teasers.... (aerial connection waiting).....
Try the Devoted SQ checker. I tried the address of a neighbour I know that's had PCDs for a while and it's certainly up to date, it is showing as Service Class 2.
Fingers crossed that you're not one of those "special" bespoke connection fellows!
What on earth, it can't be...2GOS-07 and...
Congratulations! Your premises is eligible for NBN Fibre! Click on the Sign Up button below to get started!
Let's see what happens when an application goes through, then. History has told me not to get too hopeful.
Wait... 2GOS-07?
Am I dreaming?
Optus NBN sq states my address in Tascott is serviceable too. Going to give them a call tomorrow and hopefully I can organise an installation soon!
Optus NBN
going by a lot of other peoples comments about Optus, why are you going with them?
Struth!!.. Getting varied results on different sq checkers. Iinet looks like it thinks we might have fttn in 2gos-07 based on it offering 25mbps plan.. Internode seems to be more up to date.. Telstra nfi.. Optus says yes..but we say no.. Keep checking folks on every sq checker you can..post results here till late because if it's true i'd like to get the word out too early tomorrow..
Struth!!.. Getting varied results on different sq checkers
same problem in 2WOY-07, declared RFS yet is seem almost no-one can connect
Ok 2GOS-07 folks.. Tascott Bluefish address off 07-05 says Yes on the following rsp's pages as at 10:30pm : dodo, internode, iprimus, optus, Telstra, westnet, iinet. More later.
Hi Dazed. Yes will be interesting in the morning when the first rsp's get calls and check with nbnco.. Here's hoping the 4year wait is over.. And yes I feel sorry for every poor sod in 2WOY on the FTTN which is seemingly more like Fibre to the Nowhere...The exchange at 2WOY must be melting under the added heat..
And yes I feel sorry for every poor sod in 2WOY on the FTTN which is seemingly more like Fibre to the Nowhere
and not to forget you collegues in the Southern end of Koolewong, on the same copper DA, but 44 have been consigned to a FTTN connection whilst the rest of the DA is FTTP. next door neighbours in fact in 2 locations, they could have used a road as a break between technologies, but they pushed FTTP past the intersection down at Mowarra Cres, so that side fences became the separation between the techs
I have no idea why they did that with any reasonable idea of sense on that boundary line.. Since a lot of those places are not aerial but pits.. And even if ALL were aerial so what .. Service them with some multiports. Every premises as far as I am concerned from Koolewong station Up thru Glenrock Mowarra John's Rd should have been on FTTP delivery as should all premises on the water side of the railway line at Koolewong thru to the last one on the right before Woy Woy bridge... With the Bridge as the demarcation line. FFS if the 2WOY interconnect to the nearest nbnco POI is Gosford then the fibre goes right past.. So what do you reckon.. An engineering cockup or a cost saving political exercise? 44 households penalised does not make any sense out of 2700..
Can it be .... our fibre is live?
My brain she be error 404'ing.
Logged an application with our good friends at Skymesh (as a start).
I just couldn't bring myself to swallow the TPG Koolaid .... yet.
That one'll be for the kids to (ab)use when I hook it up later � I'm assuming as a FTTP rather than FTTN I can still run multiple services on the one NTD (if that's what they are called � it's literally been YEARS since I read up on this stuff)
The shock of no longer having to use mobile "broadband" is going to require calming medication. Something alcoholic I think.
Probably shouldn't get too excited. I've still got an aerial install to look forward to.
