    It is also blocked on my corporate network by the Clearswift Gateway due to 'malware'. We've got no stake in the project so this isn't a deliberately malicious block.

    Running the site through a couple of on-line scanners doesn't detect any problems so I think this is an overblock by the the blacklist in the gateway, unfortunately I can't find any contact details that allow you to seek removal from the blacklist.

    There arent going to be magic areas popping up out of nowhere.
    NBNco have 987k in the pipeline for 12/2014.

    Some of the areas that start between now and the end of the year should be completed by 12/2014 so it should increase as areas move out of the 1-year plan and into construction.

    When I am looking at the stats I consider that the forecasts up to 12 months in the future are unlikely to significantly increase due to new starts (there have been a couple of outliers with predicted construction durations as low as 9 months but they are in the minority) but predictions beyond 12 months can potentially increase significantly.

    As of the last 1-year plan NBN Co was expecting to start 332 FSAMs between now and the end of the year which would be ~700k additional premises that could be complete by 12/2014.

    I've been trying to get it unblocked on several services used by corporate bodies too. I'm not sure why it's being blocked � it could be the providers I'm using (CloudFlare and Heroku), but they are all used internationally by many well known companies too.

    As Tallweirdo explained, there will be more FSAMs being marked as "Work Commenced" in the coming year. In theory, only numbers up to May 2014 are "fixed" assuming 12 month construction timeframe (RFS data has not been released this month yet) . In fact, any FSAMs completed beyond the May 2014 currently are delayed rollouts.

    I will clarify the data with a more prominent note tonight.

    Just updated with new rollout data from the NBN Co website. See whrl.pl/RdCo8H to see what has been added/activated.

    Also, estimated stats have also been updated as a result.

    • Brownfields Passed: ~97,918 (with approx 19,418 early access)
    • Greenfields Passed: ~38,906

    A quick question:

    Your stats have a section for "service class zero". I presume this means premises not able to be serviced...but under what criteria determines this classification? vacant lots...perhaps?

    Service Class Zero does indicate undeliverable service. There are a number of reasons why service might not be deliverable such as (as you said) vacant lots. However, they may also include MDUs. They are simply extracted from a data file on NBN Co's website.

    Hi Richard, if you're talking about my site � myNBN, I encourage to discuss issues over here: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2104304&p=7

    Nonetheless, if you are discussing my website, the data appears fine. As you can see on your FSAM page (http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4TOB-03) an "early access" tag is visible next to the status cell. This indicates a partial activation at your FSAM.

    Sorry. Have had a bit much to drink and posted in the wrong thread....

    I had only looked on the main page where I had cached "My rollout region". Didn't realise I needed to go to the main page to see anything different. Thanks though :)

    Can I suggest it would be better if it said "Ready for service (Partial)" instead of simply "Ready for service"?

    Hmmm...would be interesting if NBNCo could be more specific.

    If, they do include MDUs, then once they start coming on stream there would potentially be a major boost in numbers RFS.

    One single Service Class Zero might turn into 50 RFS.

    In the file they are quite specific, they are tagged as SHOP, UNIT etc. Its not empty lots, empty greenfield lots are counted in the Service Class 1 category (when DevotedNBN used to have the rollout statistics up the number of greenfield premises passed in March was actually less than the December figures due to empty lots not being sent to RSP's).

    They count every unit in a MDU as a individual service class 0.

    Thanks for the clarification Michael :)

    Just made some changes to the site:

    • Improved Brownfields rollout graphs � open...
      • Now shows active premises as green, projected RFS in dark blue.
      • Inside each column, orange is active, blue is early access and purple is projected RFS
    • Early Access tag in My Region (thanks RichardM)

    Would it be possible to have the option to sort columns in the FSAM list � really what I'm interested in seeing it sorted by RFS date (so you can easily see all the FSAMs in 'Testing and Activation' etc.)

  • jxeeno
    O.P.

    Sorting is actually being developed right now. However, it requires a substantial coding change for parsing parameters.

    And for a more specific class zero breakdown, I'll take a look at how and if I can parse that data.

  • ozziemandias

    Excellent work on the site. Its a pity NBN Co dont display their information re work commenced, premises passed and active services in a similar way to your stats page. I suspect the reason for this is that because we are still in the early stages of the volume rollout that its not until now that significant numbers are hitting the 'passed' stage.

    A couple of things I noticed on the rollout stats page.

    There is a grammatical error in the brownfields note ".. construction has begin." should be begun.

    One minor issue however is that the rollout statistics page seems to use the word Active for premises "Passed". I would suggest that this will cause confusion given that NBN Co appear to use Active to indicated the number of premises where a service has been provisioned.

    I also notice that the projected "Active/Passed" figure seems to plateau in July. Is this because the data set you are importing (I assume this is the RFS file) is difficult to extract expected completion dates from, or that you have not got to this point yet?

    One suggestion I would make is to differentiate the colours for projected and historical premises passed data. This method could also be used to indicate falling short of or exceeding projected targets (currently the former but hopefully the later as the build progresses).

    Thanks ozziemandias.

    Ah, thanks :) It'll be pushed with the next update.

    One minor issue however is that the rollout statistics page seems to use the word Active for premises "Passed".

    For the hover-tips, I will now use:

    • # of # premises already passed
    • # of # premises expected this month

    and for the labels, I will use "Expected to pass" and "Already passed". These, again, will be pushed with the next update.

    I also notice that the projected "Active/Passed" figure seems to plateau in July. Is this because the data set you are importing (I assume this is the RFS file) is difficult to extract expected completion dates from, or that you have not got to this point yet?

    The active/passed (i.e. the green bottom section) is supposed to display the current premises passed figure so you can see how many more premises NBN Co expects to pass by any month (simply by hovering over the dark-blue portion on a particular month). The graph does not show any FSAMs where construction has not yet begun (i.e. not appeared in the RFS reports).

    One suggestion I would make is to differentiate the colours for projected and historical premises passed data.

    Sorry, I don't have that data available and it would be almost impossible to display. Most FSAMs RFS months changing between reports, so the dilemma becomes which date to compare with. This is just too hard to implement right now � however, I'm happy to revisit the idea when and if I have time.

    No need to apologise, just a suggestion � not a criticism. I would say that the dates to compare would be the first estimated completion (when an FSAM makes the RFS list) against the latest date as each RFS update.

    Once again � Congrats on your effort. Have you considered contacting the larger RSPs and offering them integration into your site? Where services are available they could be linked from a service provider list.

    From what I understand, the data that RSPs have access to (e.g. the historical footprint list) can not be released publicly. DevotedNBN released it before and was asked to remove it by NBN Co for some disclosure agreement they signed.

    I wasn't suggesting that you incorporate their data, rather that they pay you to advertise their presence in the relevant FSAMs as they become active, or even as they approach this stage.

    I think your site stands a good chance of getting very wide exposure, and due to the fact you are displaying progress information people will be following your site before they really start to consider who will be offering services as their area becomes active.

    Although I prefer to poke through RFS reports myself, the site is certainly rather handy as for those less inclined to do so it more or less fills the void left by NBN Co apparently having abandoned plans to offer something similar (I realise these things take time, but it's been more than a year and later questions regarding the project were ignored). Good work. :)

    Just pushed an update to the site.

    • A redesigned home page
    • Predictive search (thanks to Google)
    • Full address search returning (if any) the containing FSAM
      • This only works for fibre rollouts and not wireless.
      • Wireless maps are too complex and can not be calculated client-side using Javascript
      • All non-matching addresses go to old search

    This worked a treat!

    So did this. Spot on. Perhaps the address you parse to the NBNCo roll-out map checker that appears when you click on the "Interactive" (versus the default "Static" link, it could parse all the address data the user entered. When I clicked on it, it parsed the suburb & higher, as opposed to knowing my street name & number also (gathered from the prior Predictive search (thanks to Google).

    Something I'd been meaning to say, perhaps edit your original post in this thread with your new website address, rather than leaving the old one there & letting it redirect, etc. Just a thought, no biggie :) /forum-replies.cfm?t=2104304#r1

    Are you referring to the following senario?

    • Address is not matched with a fibre region

    If so, I did this because my database does not have any address searching capabilities. Having 12 Jafferays Road, Wallacedale, Victoria, Australia as the entire search term will add extra noise to the search (e.g. if a development is called "Jafferays", it would be displayed in the results.

    If I'm missing the point completely, do you mind elaborating a bit more?

    Something I'd been meaning to say, perhaps edit your original post

    Hmm... I don't see an option to do this... :( do I have to talk to a mod? EDIT: nevermind, found it :)

    I manually calculate them. I basically take the latest RFS report with Early Access data and match it with the FSAMs that do have Early Access and add up the approx number of premises. There are (in cases) where I've included premises where early access has not been enabled. I have not taken them into account.

    It might an outlier but your RSP search seems to be broken in at least some areas

    http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4APL-03

    is returning a completely different list from the NBN website.

    One suggestion for the next step in your NBN data aggregation master plan would be RSP plans.

    This spreadsheet from lifehacker would probably be a good place to start, its a bit old (notably the exetel plans dont exist anymore). Alternatively there are probably Reps who would be happy to do the data entry for you. or you could just crawl the Broadband Choice page

    The "area active" notifications from RSP's seem to suck at the moment, for a simple example your website is more accurate than Internode and all the Nextgen re sellers service qualifications, so there are a few ways to leverage that (email notifications would be one way).

    Anyways new design looks good, although i prefer plain bootstrap myself :P

    You're right. Nightly integration is neglecting the CSA update which determines the RSP list. This has been updated now :)

    Haha, how did you guess? :P Personally, I love the idea � but I think this would be a tedious task and would be hard to automate (which is what I want). Unless I can get data collated that I simply upload onto the database � I think I might give this one a miss for now.

    email notifications would be one way

    These are planned � I'm currently weighing up the options for sending out the notifications. I'm considering using Google Apps Script (which is what I use for monitoring the CSV) to send out notifications � but they limit executions to 15 mins :/

    The June POI list shows 38 Active POIs, so there are 38 CSAs accessible to RSPs at the moment. I do not understand the meaning of e.g. the 114 Telstra CSAs. There may be something amiss in the number of CSAs associated with an RSP if indeed this number is meant to represent CSAs really accessible to an RSP at the moment.

    In terms of the Libs coming in, the contracts are signed � unless the libs want to simply destroy the NBN, they should honour the contracts.

    Good work, JXeeno. I don't know how you're finding the time and energy to keep the info at www.mynbn.info up to date.

    One minor thing I've noticed: the "Tower Details (RFNSA)" links need to be altered to remove "www.mynbn.info/".

    For example, at http://www.mynbn.info/wsam/2ARM-51-02-KLR, link goes to:

    http://www.mynbn.info/wsam/www.rfnsa.com.au/nsa/search.cgi?searchText2=2ARM-51-02-KLR&type=advanced&advancedSearch=1

    They can if it hasn't physically and actually started. I suspect there are many sites listed as "Remediation" with nothing happening on the ground. As such there is no reason why contracts for work which hasn't started can't be varied (from FTTH to FTTN say). Only in cases where there has been sufficient work (i.e. actual construction) carried out can we be sure it will be allowed to go all the way to FTTH.

    In essence anything due to be ready for service 12 months from now could be doomed. I live in area with an RFS for Apr 2014 but I haven't seen any work, and if it doesn't start in the next 3 months I don't think it will happen (especially since we have HFC and that means no FTTN either probably).

    The initial number of premises reported/predicted per-FSAM was inaccurate especially in some of the early rollout regions. After checking with some sources, I was able to determine a more accurate number for some of them. However, I'm still off my target by 13k... I'll look into why this is so later tonight.

    By register, do you mean to add as your region (as promoted on the front page)?

    If so, you can do so by clicking on the blue "Set My Region" button on the right hand side of the FSAM/Greenfields/WSAM page. e.g. http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4AAR-02

    • Where did you enter the address? In the home page?
    • Once you made the search, which of the following happened?
      • Did my website return a pop-up saying it could find the address like this
        • did you try clicking on "Set My Region" on the lower left corner of the popup?

    Yes, based on the mass RFS report release via FOI and confirmation via RSP.

    Also in regards to being unable to add your region to FSAM, Hillsman59 sent me a Whim. Just realised that one-year rollout plans can not be added to My Region. I hope to fix this soon.

    I see what you mean. 1-year rollout FSAs that have not appeared on the monthly RFS plan can not be added onto the My Region Tracker.

    For now, you can only track FSAMs, WSAMs and Greenfields. I'll look into adding FSA/WSA tracking next version.

      • Brownfields under EA: ~35,800
      • Brownfields Class Zero (counted towards premises passed): ~33,370

    When you say that service class zero are 'counted towards premises passed', do you mean that they are included in the 116,600, or they can be counted as passed in addition to that figure?

    In the works at the moment is a Facebook notification system to allow tracking of regions and addresses. Facebook is currently the cheapest and most viable way to send notifications.

Since this feature relies heavily on the proposed footprint list (which is about 400MB in total to upload to my database) � a lot more background work needs to be done to get this feature going.

    The problem with Twitter is there is no notification API (except the DM system which is quite limiting). Facebook allows me to send notifications directly to the user � bypassing all messaging avenues.

    Is there any way of leveraging off posting on one media to post on both? I know a lot of twitter clients will let you simultaneously post on Facebook...is this possible via the API for either?

    Alternatively, maybe have twitter for generic rather than region specific posts only.

    Hi JXeeno,

    Just have a request for an update/modification to the status line on specific FSAM pages.

    I am in 3KEY-03 FSAM which is shown as Design Acceptance (about 20% give or take).However without going to the FAQ page, it's not clear what the progression of stages is at a glance.

    Is it possible to get something on the FSAM page to show remaining steps (ie a list of remaining statuses to come) or even a link to that part of the FAQ?

    It just wasn't intuitive to me (likely less so to most of my family who wouldn't necessarily twig to where the progress stages might be shown).

    I also think this might help people to get a feel for what's required in the rollout, rather than just thinking that they should be able to connect as soon as they've seen the fibre rolled out.

    Other than that, nice work! :-)

    Sorry, one more query.

    I noticed when I search my address that you have a popup saying that construction has started.

    When I search for my work address though, it comes back with the FSA, which is due to start this year, but it's not clear unless you click on the link that it is due to start soon.

    Basically, is there specific address info for construction commenced sites that isn't available for those sites in the 1 year rollout?

    Just that if the site/area is due to start soon, might be good to make that a bit more obvious than it currently is. Might help to get those who are in the 1 or 3 year rollouts something to start getting excited about :-)

    Unfortunately, there isn't hard data available. The search mechanism I've implemented on the front page uses mapping data given my NBN Co's interactive map (so it's not entirely accurate anyway). However, the more regions I give the browser to search through � the more likely it's going to crash. That's why Wireless is not supported in the search, as my browser just ran out of memory after every search. Same goes with one and three year plans.

    Just that if the site/area is due to start soon, might be good to make that a bit more obvious than it currently is.

    Once I have time, I'm going to re-write the NBN Co interactive map so it loads quicker, has less clutter and loads and links directly to within the website. This should give 1 and 3y rollout people a better idea of things.

    Our area still doesn't show up (Mt Gravatt, which I think is 1MGAT or something?), but someone I know who works for NBN Co showed me their figures which show the construction start date being in 2017... so I'm guessing their publicly released information is significantly more sparse than their own data, or less likely (but more optimistically) it's because start dates might get shuffled forwards... it could happen, right you guys?

    Hi, just wanting to know if someone could shed some light?

    on the myNBN tracker FSM 6BNB-09 The Tuarts (Stage Crystal) which is where i am about to build, its a small stage or 13 blocks of land which matches the # of premises.

    I have been following for awhile now and they hadn't been much updates until today when i looked and it had expected completion Nov 2013.

    What does this mean and is this information correct?

    Does it mean that in roughly November i will be able to connect to the NBN, every other house in the Tuarts Development are already on Telstra Velocity, though they didnt include it in Stage Crystal because the NBN was being rolled out.

    Some further information would be great.

    Just makes it impossible for anyone to see how many properties fall into the SC0 category. Maybe it because that it reveals that some of the 'premises passed' folk won't in fact be able to connect for months or years to come, and fits in with the rumours re a downgrade in the roll out numbers as reported in the Murdoch media.

    One does wonder why the NBNCo who are supposedly transparent, want to remove this info from the public arena as there is no real reason for doing so, apart from suppressing information and the real facts.

    I think the issue is they have seen that we see their 350 SC0's disappear and 1500 are added. It points to a lack of bodies on the ground, and also a generally slow work process. Only have to look at the Gungahlin threads to see people being given 'civil works required' and put at the back of the line.

    eg: Civil works required: Blocked Telstra lead in Conduit
    Civil works required: Telstra pit remediation

    It's something NBN Co is working on for their B2B protocol for communicating with Access Seekers. When the end user orders a service and if they're unable to get service due to issues such as civil works, starting 4Q-2013, they will be able to get additional information:

    CE014: Additional information may be provided for unserviceable
    Premises (Service Class 0 or 4). Additional information may
    relate to: frustrated Premises (i.e. where consent was not
    given to install necessary Premises infrastructure), Premises

    The "Testing and Activation" status is simply a projection of the ready for service date provided by NBN Co on a monthly basis. When there is less than one month until the ready for service date, myNBN will display a "Testing and Activation" status as outlined in the FAQ on the site.

    @JXeeno � as you don't have a stats section for the Wireless progress, is there any chance of just putting a record counter at the bottom of the List of WSAMs page.

    I am in a potential future NBN Wireless area, and having a record counter so I can see that there is 56 records when I filter by NSW, or 6 records when I filter by WA etc would be helpful for us 4% to track progress of the wireless rollout.

    Cheers.

    G'day Muz...

    The reason behind not giving stats for fixed wireless was due to the reliability of the data. There are certain fixed wireless areas that were marked as "Work Commenced" and have since been removed from the plans all together.

    From what I understand, as of last week, there were ~40,200 premises covered by Fixed Wireless.

    However, I will look to build an overview (perhaps number of WSAMs) active.

    JXeeno writes...

    The reason behind not giving stats for fixed wireless

    Thats fine, I am not asking for a stats page for the wireless.
    I am less interested in premises covered by wireless, and more interested in the number of towers active or under construction per state, so I can compare that to the number of towers expected to be required/licensed on ACMA etc and see the progress (or not) being made on the wireless rollout on a national and state basis. So a simple record counter on the List of WSAMs page would suffice for my needs.

    Cheers :-)

    I beg to differ. I believe there is nothing purely "anti-Coalition" on the website. I'm presenting a message of my support for a policy reconsideration and have outlined the reasons behind it on the front page. I have the right to lobby for what I think is a better option for the entire country.

    The Coalition are already in power, so there is no point in being (as you say) anti-Coalition. However, I am against the Coalition's plans for the NBN. And since my website presents information regarding these plans, I feel that there is nothing wrong with informing my visitors.

    e.g. under their new proposed policy, the Government has drastically changed the validity of the information on the website and as a result � I believe I need to inform my visitors that the information presented may no longer be valid, rather than mislead them.

    Fair enough, but you could been apolitical about it but instead you choose to go the childish and political way.

    EG: The roll out map is now smothered in bizarre pictures of Tony Abbots and Malcom Turnballs heads pulling weird faces where YOU "think" their fibre to the node is going to be rolled out. You obviously chose these specific pictures because they are pulling weird faces and you are trying to make them out to look like idiots/morons/retards.

    People come to your website to use it as a tool, why would i or anyone else want to use a roll out map that's covered in this nonsense which makes it harder for us to see where the rollout is actually happening etc?

    EG: Your use of a Labor Party political jibe of "Fruadband" and "National Fruadband Network" again, completely unnecessary and again completely smothered across the rollout map.

    It's just disappointing...........

    Feature-wise, many small changes have been pushed overnight which were queued for deployment:

    • FSAMs where "premises are in the process of being passed" and where early access has not been approved by the ACCC, these areas are now marked as "early access" with a new exception clause:
      NBN Co appears to be nearing completion of this FSAM (or part of this FSAM). Parts of this FSAM are expected to be switched on in the course of the coming weeks.
      e.g. http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/8CSU-02
    • the exact premises passed is now also displayed next to the approximate premises count
    • Build Commenced dates have been added to the FSAM history
    • WSAM link to RFNSA has been removed (no longer worked) and replaced with a short paragraph on how to perform a search.

    Information-wise:

    • Rollout statistics page is still being worked on and is expected to feature the new information released weekly by NBN Co
    • Weekly analysis of these statistics (as well as graphs) will be posted on the main rollout thread: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2175967&p=29#r569
    • Pin generation code has now been optimised, now able to complete processing in less than 20 minutes.

    Hi, just wondering what's going on with this region: 5SFD-04-p233

    It's appeared on the map 'ready for service' as a subset of 5SFD-04. Yet it didn't exist on any previous maps (NBNCo or myNBN). Is this an 'early access' region? It's also not listed in the 'FSLAM Early Access' list:

    The early access data is updated separately from the main integration information. That should be updated later today. In terms of the actual listed status, I'm in the process of rewriting the code for that � NBN Co made some changes last week.

      • Search old Construction Commenced areas using address search functionality

    • Design
      • New styling for page titles
    • New Features
      • Lists latest activations in homepage and dedicated activations page
      • Updated statistics based on Weekly Rollout Statistics, graphed
      • Early Access Eligibility (as approved by ACCC)
      • FDA Information � activated, number of premises, % serviceable and connected
    • Corrections
      • Minor FAQ corrections

    A technical question open for comment

    I recall someone commenting on the Victoria Park (WA) thread that 6VIC08 appears to have priority and the inference that western side of the railway might be the only 6VIC to get fibre in the new time frame.

    Is it possible that because 6VIC 04 has a lot of new high rise apartment developments (WA govt driven redevelopment) that won't be completed for a couple of years may be the reason for that? My understanding is that the fibre loop physically went through 6VIC 04, 06, then 05 (subject close to my hopes) and that was the order the planned completions were to take place. Is there a technical reason which would not allow 04 to be 'skipped' in part at least? I believe 6VIC 05 (and 04) has been rodded and roped and pits and pipe cleaned out so basically ready to go except for some pit replacements I suspect.

    If 6VIC 08 has priority there is the suspicion that with quite a bit of work sighted in Cannington near Cannington Exchange/Carousel Shopping Centre and the highway back towards Vic Park, 6VIC 04, 05, 06 will miss out all together. It would seem stupid to haul new copper � a must in 05 as it disintegrates when techs are on site � where areas are ready to haul fibre.

    squinly,

    The "ready date" is NBN Co's "Expected Ready for Service" date for that Fibre Serving Area Module (3BRU-08). This is a best estimate by NBN Co accurate at the end of January as to when they expect to complete the rollout in your area.

    At present, this date is Jan 2015.

    NBN Co notes that greater than 3 months from present have greater uncertainty and may be drastically revised later or earlier. Check back around mid-month every month for an updated expected rollout date.

    Does anyone know if NBNCo will be showing ETA on build commencing in areas any time soon?

    NBN Co does not currently provide ETAs for build commencement publicly, but has internal records of such targets. Even if such information was made available, based on current practises, it would be limited to retail service providers only who have signed confidentiality agreements.

    Great effort, and just for WA it's surprising just how many of even the original 1 year areas have been quietly removed.

    Just keep that in mind when you re-vote for the senate soon.

    FSAMs that had Build Instructions issued in Feb won't necessarily be 'announced' by NBNCo until the mid-March update (still a few days away at least). They usually run about a month in arrears in that reporting.

    any bets on a "big number" announcement, on the Wednesday before the Tassie elections, and again on the Wednesday before the new WA Senate elections.

    Last updated July 2013 but work done over the last 4 weeks. Data still not entered after such a period of time is very bad.

    Please check to see if this last updated string has been changed now...

    Just as a note, no status or data would have been changed irrespective of the last updated date because NBN Co does not change the Service Class until at least 90% of the premises are passed with fibre and the FSAM is declared Ready for Service. Until such time, everyone is on Service Class 0.

    The last updated date refers to the last time the data was loaded on the database... not the date when the data was changed. Another phrase that can be used is "accurate as at" rather than "last updated".

    I understand (to a degree lol) what people were saying its just the way my brain works. I consider all new works should be "updated" and cant see any reason why the latest data wouldn't be available.
    But then I realise this is a government release and its wishful thinking to expect that from ANY govt (lets not start that again).

    Cheers to everyone for their feedback and of course jx for the time/effort he/she puts into the website and keeping us informed.

    Under standard reporting, that granularity of status is not available for areas that have not been switched on yet. Once an area is switched on, however, service classes can be used to determine if a PCD is installed, or if an NTD is installed.

    .... Do you mean a progressive tracking on how connection takeup?

    Perhaps a form where users submit the following data:

    Install Request date.
    NBN scheduled install date.
    Address (Street and suburb only).
    NBN Actual connection date (when known).

    Then that data can be plotted on a google map. Or generate a "approximate wait time" for a connection.

    Along the same lines as user sourced data: for the expanded HFC NBn. As Telstra, Transact etc don't publish maps � why don't we crowd source our own.

    Users answer question;

    Do you have Telstra / Optus / Transact � HFC at your address? Yes/No ?

    Your Street/Suburb?

    If you do have HFC, what's your speed.?

    - This can again be plotted and overlayed with NBN Fibre maps.

    Cheers guys :) do let me know if anything can think of improvements to displaying tower data and also user-contributed data.

    User-contributed pins and activity notes are in the works. Been doing some small data trials in Wulagi, NT with data from jarryd's map. Feel free to check that out if you wish, and leave some suggestions: http://www.mynbn.info/map#show:8CSU-03

    The idea is to have pre-determined types e.g. FDH locations, fibre hauling, FTTN node installation... which can be verified by photographs if available.

    H jxeeno,

    A small but annoying thing.

    Is it possible to add the google map scale reference ie 1km = 1cm sort of thing.

    http://s4.postimg.org/fkfapezf1/screenshot_288.png

    Is this simply a missing map layer or is it a lot more complicated, since it does not exist on the NBN roll-out maps?

    I can now announce that the ACCC in a priority judgement have announced that the takeover of MyNBN by NBNco would 'substantially lessen competition in the NBN Rollout information environment' and therefore will be blocking the sale.

    StraitVodka, I actually share the view that Quentin has put forward here � that is, a petition would be ineffective. We know from past experiences that petitions, regardless of signature volume, are ineffective in lobbying the Government. I actually started a petition a while back... but I never promoted it because I knew it was an impossible task that would achieve very little.

    Directly contacting the Minister and NBN Co also doesn't seem to work at all... however, I am awaiting a reply from my local member. data.gov.au is an "official" channel which is supposed to promote an "open government". But I know the speed at which things are done, especially by the Communications department.

    But I welcome any suggestions as to how I should proceed from here (if at all). I should also add that in-constructive personal criticisms are not welcome.

    I expect not, the usual response is now well known...."there is no point publishing inaccurate data which misleads people"... this is the idea that the data relates only to plans and predictions, and that so far, the plans and predictions have all been entirely wrong.....closely followed by some kind of political comment

    There is of course a natural problem in saying all plans are inaccurate in that NBNco actually need to have some plans to work from, and that there should be some level of confidence in the short term plans and predictions, even if the longer term ones are largely useless.

    Of course that should not prevent publication of detailed factual information as it is known.

    Hi all,

    Just a quick update on how things are going with myNBN.

    As some people would know, this issue of transparency was raised several times at Senate Estimates and Select Senate Committees on the NBN. I've also put, on the record, my concern about the lack of transparency in my testimony to the Senate committee.

    After emailing CEO Bill Morrow, explaining my situation, I received an email late last week from NBN Co. I won't disclose the full contents of the email but it basically explains the removal of datasets as being an issue of accuracy, citing "overly optimistic" and "misleading impressions" of the rollout.

    The email did go on to say that "there will be more information coming soon". With that last sentence in mind, I will consider this as potentially "light at the end of the tunnel".


    Moving forward, I have a new and redesigned version of myNBN in the works. It's going to be rebuilt from the ground up with the MTM rollout in mind. I posted an early preview screenshot of the site on Twitter.

    There is no ETA for this new version launches though, given my current time constraints. Real development work won't start for another 2-3 months once school concludes for me.


    Again � thanks for everyone's ongoing support, and keep the data flowing in :)

    Cheers,
    jxeeno
