    ive looked on this here map http://www.telstrawholesale.com.au/download/document/GRKN-CA77-Area-Layout.pdf
    Its shows three numbers in the yellow area....

    where the 95 and 77 are there are those bullet shaped telstra pillars and next to them are node cabinets
    im in the area serviced by 64 which has one of those rim cabinets. does this mean i wont get fttn after all? Im gonna be stuck using a wireless dongle for the rest of my bloomin life

  • NetskyAU

    No you will get FTTN. Your connection may go through the Nodes at sites 95 or 77.

    if you go to
    https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au/ and enter your address or one very close you will see a map and on the left will be some information showing the DA that you are in, the map will give you the DA boundaries. You can also then move the place pin around and get the shapes of other DAs.
    From there you can use eyes, feet and google map street view to try and locate your pillar and possible node site

    What does Bespoke Connection Required really mean?

    NBN has gone live in my area but the NBN website says "There may be an issue at your specific address."
    mynbn.info says "Bespoke Connection Required"

    There are 5 freestanding units on the block, but all had the outside boxes installed and cables run to the street 6 months to a year ago.

    I called a provider and asked a few months back, they said maybe they ran out of connections in the street due to the 5 units, but I think they were just guessing. Alternative theories seem to be a paperwork backlog for MDUs, or wrong information in the database.

    Can anyone shed any light? Is it anything that can be hastened by following up, or is it just a case of sit tight and wait?

    Thanks for any info,

    Andrew

    A "bespoke connection" is a specialised connection. Most houses in my street were relatively simple hook ups from the pole to the house eave. I started to worry when my house appeared to have been skipped, however in my case, "bespoke connection" required a separate team of contractors who specialised in units or other unique underground connections to complete the work.

    These guys turned up with ground penetrating radar to locate the route of the comms conduit beneath the driveway and marked out the route with some form of wash away paint. This allowed them to determine the length of the conduit for their draw cable etc.

    So, sit tight and wait. They haven't forgotten about your house.

    I called them a couple of months back but they couldn't really tell me anything � their best guess was they had run out of connections for the address in the street.

    All that stuff was done about a year ago... the fibre from the units to the street is there. I had a long chat to the guys that installed it while they waited for a plumber after nicking a water pipe. That was 6-9 months before the street itself became active.

    I have been waiting patiently. I just sometimes wonder whether somebody is waiting for a notification that will never come because there is nothing left to do...

    Just a question good people, if in the list of our Service region for 4GLS myNBN is showing combined percentages (Fixed Line) of Service Classes 1 + 3 (to 96% premises count), does this mean a wholly FTTp build ?

    The rollout hasn't started in your region yet. It will only update when your region is it build prep or build commenced.

    Have you recently checked the plan? Was updated 1st of July.

    Hi TheRealFace,

    Apologies for the confusion, the map is out of date.

    While your area was listed as being in the 18 month plan in April 2015, it has since been removed in the July revision of the plan. nbn� has not provided any reasoning for the removal, however, you may wish to contact them to see if they have anything useful to say about the removal.

    I will update the map as soon as possible.

    Hi ClaudeKrowe,

    Those percentage and figures are only applicable to rollouts currently in place (i.e. areas in build or build prep). It does not account for areas that are in the 18 month plan... because nbn� does not release technology mix information to the public.

    However, I am told that early modelling of the 4GLS area will have ~9% FTTP and the rest FTTN.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Daniel,

    being a huge ask to connect up enormous numbers of householders in the entire continent (Tasmania included) having customers contact nbn direct, I think they recognise that would swamp them. I understand the argument you are making though.

    The best thing is to wait for the householder communication from nbn (at Ready for Service) and then contact your preferred ISP direct for an nbn connection.

    ALSO

    Could I just make a community wide request to please just respect others when you post, not all members who read in here are versed with supreme levels of knowledge and if we lambast people it will make it less welcoming for newcomers to the forums

    I've just done another check, and I'm confident that the area is online.

    Could you help me confirm by going to http://www.devotednbn.com.au/sq and performing a service qualification of your address to see if you can get a service?

    Not possible.

    The boundary to our land lies 10 m outside the NBN mapped area currently served by 3LE0=51-09 (that zone is marked purple). Our house is 70 m outside the corresponding wireless coverage area. Because we have a clear line of sight to both of these wireless towers from our rooftop, I asked Aussie Broadband to try & get us onto the NBN coverage map (they seemed fairly positive about getting us onto the map - eventually).

    The Ruby tower is actually a bit closer to us (8.9 km) and I was wondering why the Ruby area isn't marked purple yet. Addresses in the orange area around Ruby simply show as build currently in progress - ie on NBNco map (eg. addresses on Ruby Arawata Rd, Ruby). However the Ruby tower was supposedly turned on on July 7. EDIT { Your link shows Ruby addresses as having service available. }

    I was simply checking to see if our land had been added to the fixed wireless active zone & I wondered why the map at Ruby hasn't turned purple yet.

    Ahh okay, yeah. Ruby is definately online, but nbn�'s maps still haven't been updated yet (not sure why though).

    If you're really keen to see the colour change, you can contact nbn� about it :) There's not a lot I can do to help the process.

    Should I read anything into the fact that the DeVoted SQ tool shows my property as "Service Class 0" i.e. set for FTTP, but myNBN does not..?

    The myNBN site shows that the general area I'm in will eventually be getting FTTN (part of the 18 month plan which keeps slipping further behind). Though there are several greenfields all around me already active with FTTP, and this whole area would have been one of the first ones in the country for going all FTTP (until the change of Govt' threw that out the window).

    I wonder if DeVoted are thus basing theirs on some out-dated info' in some locations.

    Anyway, thanks for providing such a great site and all the effort you put in. Much appreciated.

    In short, while DeVoteD NBN queries nbn's database directly � until your area enters build/build preparation, nbn's database doesn't necessarily reflect which technology you will end up getting.

    An ADA does not necessarily represent the area represented by a single node. In this case, there are multiple nodes in 2HAM-09-14.

    362 Glebe Road has 422 units, 364 Glebe Rd has another 516 units each which will likely be served by several FTTB "nodes" inside the premises.

    For all intents and purposes, they will be part of the 2HAM-09-14 ADA... but will eventually be forked off into a separate MPS (multi-premises site) ADA when the rollout is completed.

    e.g. the 2HAM-12-11 ADA has a 96-unit MDU in it which make up a part of the 318 premises total. The 2HAM-12-11-FNO-001 node has appeared up on the street a block or so away. The DA is currently fed by a RIM, HAMN:DA20 which seems to map to the same area.

    Will an extra node magically appear do you think? And when, considering all the other nodes around here seem to be pretty close to completion. Alternatively who can we ask about this?

    Ah yes, MDU/MPS makes sense now, thanks for that. So the current count of ADAs now is really the minimum number of "nodes" so far.

    It will be interesting to watch that information evolve as it will answer a few questions around:

    - when (what situation or premises count) they'd deploy in-building FTTB
    - when they'd stick an extra node nearby to perhaps share between several MDUs and
    - when the MDU just has to share the ordinary node connected to the local pillar.

    14 Milford St has 101-subpremises � so that unit block will get its own FTTB DSLAM. At a later date, that may be forked off as a separate MPS ADA for reporting purposes... but is technically still part of the 2HAM-12-11 ADA.

    The remaining 217 premises will be connected using the 384 port node (2HAM-12-11-FNO-001) that you've found.

    You could infer that, I guess. An ADA almost always corresponds with the area serviced by a Telstra DA... within it, network designs allow for multiple DSLAMs (nodes) for different purposes like FTTB in MDUs.

    That answers my question :) - in this case a FTTB DSLAM appears and not a full on node.

    I suppose the nomination that the build is "FTTN" when it can include portions of FTTB is a bit confusing but it seems like there is no real easy way to find this out.

    Edit: Still more information than just "fixed line" though, which I'm thankful for :)

    Yeah, I think it really should be FTTx rather than FTTN � but NBN insists on using FTTN as the classification.

  • Diggy The Wombat

    Hmm, I've missed something. Some MPSes are listed as "High Value Build", what does this mean? I can see FTTB listed, but wondering about that description.

    I interpreted it as "NBN for people that live in very expensive (that's the "high value") apartments" :)

    It's the selected build of multi premises sites (or MDUs) that are considered competitive. It's in response to the likes of TPG who are building their own networks in the lucrative inner-city market.

    Hi All,

    I just have a general question as I'm currently in a brownfields estate where Telstra has commenced work on repairing pits etc. in order for us to get NBN (FTTN) now on the 18 month plan.

    Considering I'm on what is classed as a 'semi-rural' property how exactly can I locate where my nearest pillar and possible node site is?

    I do currently have ADSL2 which was recently 'upgraded' via a tophat (now I get 6mbps) so is that the location where my FTTN would then jump onto copper?

    As I need to increase my upload capacity I'm thinking about lodging a request with NBN for a FTTP estimate due to my speed issue relating to length and quality of copper now.

    I did read that this would be cheaper when logged during the planning phase but would like an idea of roughly how far away the node would be.

    Thanks in advance

    Ignore above, adsl2exchanges is useless for cabinets.

    Punch address into:

    That will narrow down your DA, which will be the location of your cabinet. It won't pinpoint it, but should narrow it down a lot for you to have a look next time you drive round the area. The tophat upgrades are glaringly obvious as it's usually a really old discoloured cabinet with a brand new cabinet 'hat' plonked on top. From there, measure along roads back to your place. At a guess about ~3.5km or so cable length based on your sync.

    Upload capacity will likely increase, however you aren't going to have a particularly great FTTN experience if they don't move or add in any new cabinets unfortunately.

    Many thanks for your help kind sir, You are almost spot on (my cabinet is approx 3.2km away.

    I'm guess due to the low density residential element literally on 'this side of the road' (the other is all full fibre Greenfields) that my only chance to improve this would be for NBN Fibre on demand.

    4km of fibre could cost a pretty penny � I'll see what they have to say.

    I haven't checked in a while, but I think the deal was if you were scheduled for FTTN you had to wait till that happened first. I could very much be wrong however.

    And no problemo, glad you found it :)

    This is a bit off track for this thread, but the other thing to consider in this situation is how far away all the other premises in your DA are from that cabinet? I've seen many cases where the existing cabinet is hundreds of metres, if not more, from the nearest premises in the DA. Often when served by a cabinet there is no corresponding pillar either, or the cabinet is shared by multiple DAs where one gets a pillar and the other doesn't.

    I'd suggest they would likely install the node and possibly a new pillar at a more central/closer aggregation point (as has happened elsewhere) if the distance is that great to most premises in the DA. 1km+ from the node is going to test the viability of VDSL, let alone 3km! I'd be waiting to see what happens first.

    Agreed an apologies to the op (mods feel free to move where applicable)

    In my area I'm probably in the same position as approximately 30% of users connected to that cabinet (some are further away)

    It will be interesting to see what they do as the average block width in my area is 60 � 70m wide so we are spread out considerably.

    I appreciate your detailed response and part of my thinking as it is in planning stage this is the apparently the cheapest time to apply, yet my application mat result in me wearing unnecessary cost (as they were going to install new hardware anyway, but now we have someone else to pay for it.

    Next time I see the technicians out I'll have a chat as they have all been incredibly helpful when I've asked them a question in the past about it.

  • Aus-Archer

    Could someone with a little more knowledge about the rollout, particularly wireless areas, explain what's happening with the rollout in some places?

    The example being Cohuna in Victoria (and some towns in the surrounding areas). There's a Wireless coverage area surrounding the town which is indicated by the maps as being "Build Commenced", but the actual township is displayed as if it's not covered and any address check reports the roll out not having started yet.

    Is this something to do with the planning process, a map or data glitch, or something else completely? What's really happening for these towns like this?

  • Roofwalker

    Aus-Archer writes...

    Is this something to do with the planning process

    I'd say so � Wikipedia gives town population of 2,313 . Almost certainly too dense for fixed wireless base station coverage.

    A FW base station can generally handle only a few hundred connections.

    Cohuna will probably have to wait along with many other small towns in regional areas. I guess FFTN (or some other technology) might appear in due course.

    I was looking at mynbn.info from an iphone where unlike the desktop version, there is no "tab" for the 3 year plan option. And what you get on the screen is the "Check where the NBN is coming to you".

    This mobile version only takes you to the 18 month plan and is missing the 3 year info that the desktop version has on the same equivalent map.

    On the mobile version the 3 year info is accessed from a menu represented by a 3 horizontal line icon and not obvious when you go to the entry page which tempts you to type in your address in the address checker.

    Also noting that whereas my suburb is only listed as HFC on the 3 year data Delimiter released, my street address on the mynbn.info results in both HFC and FTTN as possible. This is because the Service area for my suburb has one of the suburbs planned to get FTTX and the rest HFC, which for some reason the mynbn website has not split up into suburb specific even though I put my suburb name into the address checker.

    The map actually shows the 3 year construction plan � but is labeled incorrectly on the map legend. I'll get this fixed soon.

    which for some reason the mynbn website has not split up into suburb specific even though I put my suburb name into the address checker.

    There's a lot of redevelopment going on in the background so that the site can handle the two technologies in the 3 year plan. Currently, it's able to handle current rollout areas with different technologies � but not future areas with different technologies.

    It's not really possible to determine and spit out which access technology you'd be using simply by correlating suburb names alone. I'm working on a geospatial solution by estimating HFC boundaries, but it'll take some time to complete.

    Hope you can appreciate the mammoth task that awaits me :)

    In the NBNCo 3 year RFS and Construction Start Date data that Delimiter released last week, if a suburb is only every listed once under the 4 tabs with only one technology (i.e HFC), it is possible that another part of that suburb will get a different technology with build commencing/ending after 3 years.

    To map the data against suburb, you'd need to take the rows of data with more than one suburb and split them up into rows of data for each of the suburbs listed in the single field. (into a relational database format). Then you can easily correlate/map the planned indicative technology type(s) with the suburb name.

    The current algorithm is a bit more complicated than that, so it's not as easy to implement as one may think :) Be rest assured, I'm working on improving the map. In the meantime, the data is available on the detailed Service Area pages.

    However, it lists the number of premises as 43,600 which is VASTLY more premises than the entire population of Bundeena and Kurnell. The 3 year plan at nbnco.com.au says the number of premises in the Bundeena, Kurnell NBN plan is only 3,600.

    So it says I'll be getting HFC in my area (cable I'm guessing?). Some parts of our area have cable but in my part of the suburb there is no cable at all. I've tried getting cable in the past and was told I had to get it via satellite (no power poles, etc). Does this mean they will be rolling out cable in our streets as well or going with FTTN?

    myNBN had my place as active first before NBN and before most if not all ISPs

    Keep in mind that my experience is just one anecdote and many others will have a different experience � when an area goes RFS it just means a large percentage of properties are serviceable not all of them

    I've been keeping an eye on MyNBN for awhile now and in the last couple of months my address has gone from Ready For Serivce @ 01.03.2016 to RFS@ Q1 2016. Today the site says it was RFS as of 10.12.15. It is possible the date could jump forward so far?

    NBNCO.com.au just says build started Sept 15

    Called Telstra and the guy said he uses both sites but wasn't sure and that I should ring NBNco.

    Called NBNco and that guy said if the build only started in September 15 that it would probably be mid to late 2016 before it was RFS.

    Went for a drive and there is definitely a tower which wasn't there a month or two ago (painted with red and white stripes, I guess because there is an airport nearby).

    Should I be getting excited? (I'm on 3G 18gb p/month for $81 and I only get around 50% signal) Or do I possibly still have a lengthy wait on my hands?

    The issue was that one of the addresses originally assigned to this tower (along Laffing Waters Lane) was re-assigned to the 2BTH-51-02-BTEH rollout area. The automated checker than presumed that meant your tower went live, where as in fact, it hadn't. I hope this makes sense.

    far less info availablel than before, there is so little on the map now they would have been better to ditch it all together and just use the timeline that they have underneath it

    My are apparently goes RTS FEB 5 (according to Telstra Wholesale), less than 7 weeks, yet nbn� can't even put that on the timeline.
    Guess it makes it easy for nbn� to claim they are meeting their targets, especially as they only now seem to publish RFS dates after they actually make an area ready

    Any idea why 2COR-08 is listed as MTM even though it was FTTP yesterday? My address still shows as FTTP though :) :)

    My checks show that 2COR-08 has become "MTM" because ~100 premises in an MDU will be serviced by FTTB. The rest will remain FTTP.

    Hi guys,

    I noticed that my NBN fixed wireless tower at Numurkah has gone RFS as of 16th December.

    3NMK-51-04-NUMU � Numurkah

    I am within its region, however the NBN website hasn't updated as yet stating thats its RFS.

    What should I expect?, ie keep checking the nbnco website until it updates?, or does this not really mean i'll have NBN fixed wireless anytime soon?.

    Cheers

    mynbn.info says your tower is active now. This site is rarely wrong and usually ahead of the nbnco map. It might be worth ringing a few RSPs such as iinet and seeing whether you can place an order. Some but not all RSPs can access the internal NBN databases.

    I'll implement a more vigorous checking system for fixed wireless as it seems there's quite a bit of footprint fiddling before an area goes ready for service.

    Currently, the date provided by nbn is end of this month. I wouldn't expect it to go live till January (who works during the new year break?)

    Hey Jxeeno,

    Some Brownfields 3 Year rollout markers on myNBN map say just FTTN and others, like the one that covers me, says FTTN,FTTP. Does it just say both technologies because there are FTTP Greenfield estates surrounding me (I'm literally encircled in a less than 1 km radius by FTTP estates) ?

  • amigauser

    Good news, just checked and the tower has gone live and we can now in fact put an order in according to the official NBN website.

    Will put an order in and see what happens.

    Just wondering if there is an issue with 2HAM-08. it has been saying RFS on 8/12/15 however the NBNCO page (plus NBNCO customer service (via email), TPG and Exetel) and the Telstra spreadsheet are all saying not yet (or Jan 22). All the surrounding SAMs are also saying 22-jan on mynbn and elsewhere so i'm suspecting a localised issue??

    I've received hardcopy flyers that I can now order broadband over nbn.
    The nbnco website indicate we are connected and can switch to their infrastructure.

    Checking my address mynbn.info indicates no rollout schedule available, however the map has my building in purple, ie: Ready for Service.
    Only iiNet appears able to detect that I'm connected: Telstra, Optus, AusBBS, Belong all think we're not.

    Is there issues with apartment buildings and numbers?
    Or is there an issue with FTTB connections?

    Hey all,

    So I have a question. The MyNBN Info tells me that the tower I can see from my front door is active, but the map shows I can't get Fixed Wireless. My line of thought is that at the roadside � no, we can't see the tower, but up on the hill where my house sits, I can see it out my lounge room window!

    How can I find out what is going on? How can the tower be active, I can see it, but not get service?

    Any assistance would be great.

  • 2016-Jan-5, 8:04 pm

    Not sure whether its worth editing, but you show 8NLN-01 as ready for service on the 16th December. NBN Co made a mistake declaring it ready for service and the earliest date for connections to commence is now 11/01/16

    Caused a flow on effect of confusion as RSP's were relying on the info from NBN Co and booking activations � which couldnt actually happen and led to some pretty angry consumers!

    Awesome, I now have fixed wireless available........at my back fence! Fixed wireless tower for my town has just gone live but of course I can't get on it as I am in town and it is only servicing the surrounding region.

    I'm trying to get an answer from NBN as to why I can't access fixed wireless in the interim. Is there more to it than getting an antenna installed for a couple of years, and then removing it once FTTN is available??

    Zoom back out a few rolls of the mouse and look, South East of the Rockhampton CBD, there are five blocks of FW � over the Fitzroy River

    Hmm, possibly. It looks like even though I made changes to do additional checks, it wasn't sufficient to keep out this case because a large number of premises got reallocated to an adjacent tower.

    I'm going to wait for an official update on this. It may be the case that while they've declared the area ready for service, they simply don't have capacity to connect people yet.

    Since "ready for service" has many implications (e.g. it will determine when the copper disconnection date is), I'm keen to get the official word on what the status of 8NLN-01 :)

    I think you're referring to the orange colour? It's actually an artifact overlapping rasters of the 3 year shading... so denser areas appear darker. I've been planning to change the way the rasters are rendered for some time now... but never got around to it :(

    There are estimated build commence dates for areas that are currently in build preparation. As with the ready for service dates, these are estimates and are subject to change. You can expect the rollout map to reflect the "build commenced" status one month after an area is said to have commenced build.


    As a side note, I will be updating the map sharings on Monday to reflect the latest map update.

    This could probably go in the Rollout thread, but a lot of my assumptions are based on the great info you've been providing Jxeeno...

    It's been bugging me for a while now, where the "new" FTTN information is from NBN... Anything new seems to have been put on pause for about 6 months now.

    Up until August last year there was a steady stream of FTTN SAMs being announced as starting Build Prep, then Build Commenced and so on. Since then there has been no new areas reported as starting Build Prep. Even the Prep additions for August 2015 in your post here are not showing up on either MyNBN or the current communities document. So the last areas into Prep are really July 2015.

    Perhaps they'd greatly over committed the planned areas for the achievable rollout speed and had to reign in the horses. Maybe the impending HFC start up is/will be diverting resources this year. Maybe they're just not releasing the info anymore? The optimistic side of me is really hoping its because they've ditched FTTN and will shortly announce a move to FTTdp.

    There's been information about Design ready areas, but nothing going past that point. Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I would have thought a project of this size had to keep moving forward to achieve their self-proclaimed "heroic" targets...

    Welcome to the new "transparent" (quote: Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull) NBN.

    York WA has finished for fixed wireless howver im located in central york and wireless is denied to our address even though the transmitters at mt blackwell and balladong and the red line between them goes straight over our area. The entire are of York is covered except for the central area.Obviously the powers that be have decided that 20mbps adsl is good enough and we dont need the option .Even more annoying is nbn providers keep dropping off marketing in our mail box. I feel like ringing up southern phone and telling to check residential address before blanketing York with their mail drops.
    So much for nbn.

    Yes: http://www.mynbn.info/map?address=34%20Georgiana%20St,%20York%20WA%206302,%20Australia

    The reason why nbn doesn't allow premises in the centre of York (and most other suburbs around Australia) to access the Fixed Wireless technology is because it is normally only designated for the outskirts of towns and suburbs.

    The denser, central areas of suburbs will usually get a fixed-line technology like HFC � or in your case, either FTTP or FTTN.

    This keeps the fixed wireless towers less congested and means that premises in the denser parts of suburbs can generally get faster speeds.

    X = unknown. Generally meaning some form of Fibre to The X. This is now known as N which is FTTN.

  • jedinudist

    Ok thanks for the info. I was just a little frustrated as the check my address on nbn says nothing and I hadn't come across this other map.
    So been reading about FTTN and all the rantings how its old tech and still relying on copper to the premises. My opinion is if your still relying on copper to the premises then FTTN is a waste of time. Future proof is FTTP . But that's money.
    Will it seriously boost my current adsl 20mbps speed ?

    Can I get ssome clarification on this ?

    Taken from myNBNs data on York
    First RFS in next 3yrs*
    H2 2017

    This means the first area Ready For Service (RFS) will be in the second half of 2017. With York being small it only has 1 SAM. This would mean York will finish construction and be RFS by the second half of 2017 providing theres not many delays. Then you will be able to connect to the NBN.

    An announcement

    Today, I have some very exciting news to share. First, that myNBN.info is now part of the finder.com.au family. And with that, I also step into the role of Publisher for Broadband and Internet TV at finder.com.au.

    When I created myNBN almost three years ago now, my objective was to help Australians track the National Broadband Network rollout in their area by making a website that was accessible and easy to understand. Amazingly, over 800,000 Australians have done exactly that using the website.

    That's why I'm very excited about this next phase for myNBN. As many of you may know, last year was a very busy year for me. Not only did I have a full load at university, I also had various websites to manage, freelance jobs to complete, and a part-time job at finder.com.au. Oh, and I possibly also have a personal life :)

    By moving the site to finder.com.au, I hope to streamline my own workload, and also allow the site improve, expand and grow by leveraging the skills and expertise of the team at finder.com.au.

    I will still continue to be intimately involved with the site as the Publisher for Broadband and Internet TV at finder.com.au. We�ve already planned user experience improvements, while also maintaining the detailed information that myNBN is known for.

    There are also plenty more exciting projects ahead in the roadmap to look forward to!

    I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported me on this adventure thus far, especially those who have donated in the website's early days. It�s been a real pleasure working with everyone!

    Wow! Big news jxeeno!

    From a "consumer", as long as myNBN stays at least as awesome as it is now and you continue to make changes/improvements in the ever-changing world of "NBN", it will still remain the "go to site" for the NBN rollout � ahead of NBN's own website.

    You need to look after number 1 (i.e. you) and it sounds like this deal goes a long way towards doing that.

    Keep up the awesome work. :)

    Well done Kenneth! Your service to the community is incredible.

    Regarding the actual site, I note the move to Finder.com.au's UI has introduced some (perhaps intentional) usability issues?

    The old (well not old, but 2.0) version of myNBN had a really nice universal search in the top right hand corner which let you search through SAs, SAMs and all sorts � very useful because I frequently had to search for greenfields developments for which I'd forgotten the AYCA- number.

    It was also excellent to see the network hierarchy tab (very useful for nbn engineering works re greenfields) and the take-up rates � is there a chance these could be making a return? I understand that the general public probably isn't too interested in these...

    Yes, I'm not too sure where we are with that one. I got quite a bit of feedback about the hierarchy tab being fairly confusing... but let's see what we can do :)

    the take-up rates

    Take-up rate graphs haven't been updated since early 2014. They were a bit complex to maintain, and so, were phased out. You can still see current take-up using the ADA tab or the summary (by service class).

    New site works fine for me in Both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (Haven't tried firefox through)

    IE 8 has display issues but seeing as that's now discontinued, I don't know if it will be worth the fix or not and what are the chances that someone on IE8 will be on the site anyway?

    Anyway quick test

    I'm surprised about IE11 through but I guess sites aren't really designed for with Internet Explorer 11 in mind anymore. Edge is built differently to IE11 so that explains why it's working fine for me on Edge.

    Wonder how the site is on FF.

    Firefox works fine (I don't have a screenshot, but it looks the same/similar to Chrome/Edge). I have seen the disclaimer issue in IE 11. It seems to be a page rendering thing. Edge can "spoof" itself as either Chrome or Safari, so it will render pages like they will, whereas IE 11 won't.

    Nice site change too :) Looks a little cleaner.

    OK, so looks like myNBN is no longer providing info about which RSPs are offering services at each POI, but instead are only pushing the paid-for providers.

    You can say that again. The switch to showing MPSes as additional ADAs really screwed that up I guess.

    I really like the "Days In Build" display on the 'Recent Activations' page. Could be good to see on the overall list, although looking at the "Days In Build" stats for the FTTP regions would make anyone want to slit their wrists!

    Speaking of FTTP, I guess that depressing 'History' tab from myNBN 1.0 which showed, month-by-month, how delayed the sodding things were has gone the way of the dodo? I guess it's not so relevant any more seeing as FTTN builds "seem" to "make" their RFS "targets".

    Why the redirection ?

    Regarding the color coded 3 year roll out map, why is the MTM details/suburbs hee different from that from NBN's MTM PDF ?

    for example, NBN MTM pdf states for my area "Nollamara" among others, construction will start end of 2018, but of your website, its not even color coded., which indicates to me you do not have up to date details, regardless of if it may change or not.

    Is this still suppose to help users regardless? Although the MTM can change... and while your site, which would be be more accurate way than a small footnote that NBN says that u can't see without a magnifier glass, its still shows different areas for this.

    Of course if u read NBN's MTM u would know this already, looks like this site (your) site is more visual indication than any assuming it's always accurate even for MTM.

    Before, I got a very small list with only 4 providers, but I can't find this smaller list any more.

    The satellite information has actually been improved because NBN begun working out which addresses are getting satellite.

    You can see, for example 164 Tidbinbilla Rd, Paddys River ACT 2620, Australia will state that it's in the satellite footprint. About half of the 400k premises can currently be searched, with more to come before the expected commercial launch of Sky Muster in April.

    Hey MATT,

    Do you live in Biloela or on a property outside of town? I'm also in Biloela, and have been watching it like a hawk to see when fixed wireless goes live. I live on the outskirts of town, but NBN maps class my address as "in town" and part of the 3 year fibre rollout, hence making me not eligible for fixed wireless.

    On the myNBN rollout map I'm inside the town boundaries, not in the fixed wireless coverage zone. Skymesh told me today they can't do anything for me :(

    Jxeeno there seems to be a "bug" on the map pages

    When you have the pop-up box for an address and close it via clicking on the "x" in the top right corner of the box, the underlying browser window treat that as a new location to drop a pin and show data

    this would be generating more querries through the database than other wise would be needed, even for those of us curious about a region

    also why in the 2WOY FTTN area every premises I select is still showing as
    Not (yet) serviceable
    "Service Class 10" location is planned to be serviceable by copper

    yet the area is all now RFS

    shouldn't they be showing
    "service class 12" the location is serviceable by copper, jumpering is required

    I'm just on the outskirts, so fall in the Wifi Zone. But i can see I will have great trouble as on NBNCo Website doesnt allow a look up of my address. Nor does Mynbn but following the map I get an address. Registered with Mynbn and got an update.

    But any of the do you qualify websites , show me still as ADSL only.... Will make some calls next week.

    Hi MATT,

    If you can clearly see the tower and you are not marked out for some other means of NBN service delivery then you should have a good chance of getting onto fixed wireless.

    For Biloela, the relevant Retail Service Providers (RSPs) are listed in the right hand scoll box at http://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/rollout/4BIL-51-03-BILO

    The broad experience of those posting to {edit this the fixed wireless} thread clearly indicates that the best way to get action is to initially select a fixed wireless plan from your chosen RSP. A good RSP will be able to tell you if you are on the fixed wireless zone map. Even if not on the map but they think you have a good chance of being connected then they should be able to get you assigned with a property allocation no. from NBN to get you connected.

    I suggest you contact your chosen RSP and explain your situation clearly and indicate to them that you want to connect to NBN on a particular plan that they offer.

    Possibly someone can recommend a particular RSP for your area?
    ....................................

    Note: Very large companies like Telstra, Optus & Vodafone tend to be monolithic and can be somewhat inflexible in their approach to customers. Smaller companies like Aussie Broadband or Skymesh highly recomended on this thread, are very customer friendly, and can help you get onto the map & connected. Unfortunately neither of those companies is on your available RSP list.

    EDIT: The tower seems not to be live yet & you may be jumping the gun a bit early because RSPs won't necessarily have all the relevant information � it might be better to wait till the tower is officially live. Presumably (if all goes to the NBN schedule � it may not) then that will be later this month.

    I had to contact Telstra cause my home phone is a crackling mess. After I lodged a repair request, I asked to be put through to a NBN person at Telstra. Explained to the guy all the info about only just going live ect. He said he would look into it. He got back to me 5 minutes later with "is available has just gone live". Then the Drama started about the address. This is all expected, as the council changed lot numbers to street address and that has cocked everything... Short version, they submitted an application to whomever (NBNco) and they will be in contact sometime in the next week.. Fingers crossed.

    Hi Dunn, this is a product of the way NBN provides updates to the public. At the middle of each month (around the 10th working day), NBN will publicly announce a new batch of areas they commenced work in the previous month.

    The upcoming area announcement, expected some time next week, will add areas where build or build preparation had commenced in the month of February.

    Because of this, it's possible that the 5GPC area will not be publicly announced by NBN until mid-April.

    I hope that makes sense!

    The Available Plans tab on the Rollout ID page http://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/rollout/2BTH-51-06-GLAM is so misleading. It doesn't list all of the RSP's that are found on the Details tab, only 42 plans from from a total of 77 Providers

    Hey TheGruff,

    Thanks for the feedback. It's always been our intention to get all provider plans onto the plan tables and I'm working hard to get plans from all 200 or so providers listed as soon as possible (it takes a long time, unfortunately).

    Even now, we list a fair few providers we don't deal with directly... but those who deal with us will likely get listed first as most are happy to provide us accessible pricing and details of their plans.

    However, do I see where you're coming from and I'll also see what we can do to address this in the interim.

    And my posts in reponse in that thread and also:

    I notice the 5 areas 6APP-60 to 6APP-64 correspond to the 5 6APP-XX you have in mynbn for the HFC builds, and the others listed there (at least for WA) also seem to match.

    For a bit of background, the site has never relied on the Telstra Wholesale document for dates as I've found them to be inaccurate on occasions.

    Inaccurate but more timely since the above was all sourced from:

    Don't forget that Telstra are pretty much calling the shots now for the NBN MTM (esp HFC and most of FTTN) so their information is probably what NBN themselves use when they update their maps!

    I have a question regarding my address not showing up on either the mynbn map or NBNco map. I am scheduled to get the NBN in the coming months with construction meant to start from now and August of this year. Despite this my address still won't show up with any info about the rollout process. I am slated to get HFC and not FTTN or FTTP so I don't know if that is a factor or not.

    Both are now finally in build prep which started last month ago :)

    Be interesting to see how many nodes will be deployed around the town

    Typed in my street name and now get that message below, didn't last week ?

    "No rollout plan yet The NBN will be coming to this location. However, the rollout schedule for this area has not (yet) been announced"

    Rollout type
    Unknown

    Tried all other streets within that town i live in and all came up with the same message.

    Augusta,Cowaramup,Gracetown all do the same as well ?

    Those 3 towns are also in build prep as well.

    However when i checked out Busselton which is now build mode it comes up with the details on SAM, SA and Premises when you enter a random address in the brown colured area

    It seems when a town in the 3 year plan finally has the build prep started then all of sudden you get that no rollout plan yet message ?

    Some FTTN areas of Central Coast that are RFS (e.g. 2WOY SAMs, 2TGL-02) under Fixed Line Rollouts>Current Brownfields tab are now described as "Brownfields FTTP" and also have the little fibre logo. Why is this?

    jxeeno � I know that you don't have the time, but it would be great if you could give the Department of Communications some pointers on how to present in map and statistical form the Mass Service Disruption (MSD) declarations issued by Telstra and other carriers.

    The Deparment claims that they "monitor" them but would I'd like to see is analysis of what percentages of customers are affected by MSD's and for how long, and start to get an idea if the extent of the declarations have been unfair, which the TIO claims to be incapable of investigating.

  • 2016-Apr-21, 10:50 pm

    Wondering if someone is able to explain something to me.

    I live in an apartment building in Zetland. When I search for my address it comes up with a little pop up advising "We found a few close matches...Did you mean?" and it lists the apartments on the ground and first floor but none of the rest of the other 10 floors in the building.

    I was thinking that the database just hasn't been updated because our building was newish and as there is a lot of construction going on around us it would get updated later. But 3 other buildings beside us have since gone up and have now gone active in Feb but we still have nothing and still can't find my address correctly. Our building was completed in Aug 2014 which is when we moved in.

    Would this be to do with the Body Corp not approving for the NBN to be installed in our building or would it be something else? The other 3 buildings that are newer plus ours where all built by Meriton, but I believe that only our building is managed solely by Meriton where as the other buildings aren't.

    Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I think it is just a coding/display issue.
    The "pop up" box would be limited in size to say 10 actual answers, all the rest would not show, even though they are there.

    no scroll bar so you can scroll down a list in the "pop up"
    only option might to be to see if you can order a servcie if the building is listed as active, which some are.

  • 2016-Apr-22, 3:43 am

    No there is no scroll bar :(

    I suspect our building is not currently active or even to be done soon. Our entrance is on a different street to one of the other buildings that is active and is attached to us (we both enter the carpark through the same entrance) but that doesn't necessarily mean anything I guess.

    It's not that I have horrible internet access as I do have VDSL/FTTB on a 50/20 plan but am only able to get it through 1 RSP, but their plans aren't the best and customer service is absolute crap.

    I'll just have to wait and see what happens I guess.

    Hey all,

    Regarding the three year plan issue � I'm working on it. For those interested in the more technical detail:

    The key problem is that nbn is no displaying new areas going into Build Preparation on its rollout map. So, the 3 year plan message is no longer showing up for areas that have gone into "build preparation" but not into "build commenced" stage.

    As to why I don't simply show the Build Preparation message: we can't be sure which rollout region (or SAM) a particular address is part of until nbn adds the area to the map. Even though your suburb is listed in a particular build prep SAM's footprint, it doesn't mean that the entire suburb is covered.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Cheers,

    You should not rely on any ISP website to be "up to the minute" with NBNco due to a number of factors.

    ISPs should be willing to take your address and identifier, even if their own systems say its not yet RFS, because the only thing preventing them proceeding is if the NBN portal/B2B allows ordering on your "location id". RFS means it is ready in the NBN Systems � and providers should take into account information asymmetry in their sales processes.

    It is certainly the way we approach it � call us and if your area is not in our systems and you have info to suggest it should be active, we add it and let you proceed.

    Unfortunately, we don't get a say! When NBN switches on an area and declares it ready for service, that's the official word.

    Even after an area goes "Ready for Service", works may continue to happen. There are set thresholds that NBN meets in terms of % of premises connected with a PCD (box at the side of the house)... once they've met it � they will declare RFS.

    Having said that, service class 1 simply means a there's a multiport in the pit near your house. From what you're saying, I that that accurately reflects the status of your address :)

    As others have said, NBN is updated on a weekly basis. We're updated on a 3-hourly basis. RSP websites vary depending on what technology they use (sometimes they plug straight into NBN, other times they are delayed by a few weeks).

    I'm noticing a few issues with areas now being displayed as being "live" instantly even if I flag it on the site. I believe it's to do with the caching � I'm investigating this and will get back to you on it.

Going by MyNBN again the HFC rollout has been slated for Construction in H1 2016 and then RFS in H2 2016. The FTTN rollout isn't meant to begin until 2017 and last until 2018 in some cases.

    Can I assume you did not previously have Telstra/Foxtel cable? I ask since those of us with cable service may not see any installation during this stage. And I am in 6APP-6X SAM also slated for HFC RFS by 01-Mar-2017 and supposedly first Build commencing in H1 2016. The only activity I have seen / heard about in Winthrop are Telstra contractors inspecting the pits and ducts (for the third time in as many years!).

    They will be in for a real treat since I am of the view very few houses along my HFC loop have cable lead-ins (my house didn't when I moved in 2009, and I see houses with Foxtel dishes rather than cable around my area).

    I have a Telstra pit right at the front of my house and not once have I seen anyone come and inspect it. I have seen other Telstra pits inspected in the area of the last 2 weeks though. But never the one at the front of my house.

    I did get the letter from NBN like 6-7 weeks back informing that the build would be coming between April-August. NBNCo has never provided information on this area at all and I have been checking both NBNCo and MyNBN since the start of 2013. It wasn't until recently that I delved deeper into MyNBN and found more detailed information regarding the rollout for 6JTS and that I would be getting HFC sometime this year.

    Hi jxeeno

    Yes that's what I get after I have put in my full address. I've also noticed that the building it thinks we are in, according to the map, doesn't actually exist ... there is no building there it's actually a little park in between all the buildings and our building is not numbered, but I think that's got something to do with the map itself.

    As I mentioned I guess I'll just have to wait until something happens, just thought it was strange that every other building around us (front, back and sides and also buildings that are connected to us as part of the same construction) have all gone active but we haven't even gone into build prep according to the maps.

    Yes that's what I get after I have put in my full address. I've also noticed that the building it thinks we are in, according to the map, doesn't actually exist ... there is no building there it's actually a little park in between all the buildings and our building is not numbered, but I think that's got something to do with the map itself.

    Ah yes, we're using Google Maps to help geocode and standardise the address. Assuming this is a new-ish building, their maps and addresses may take a short while to update.

    While it does mean that there is more than one technology in this ADA, in this case, it's because a new development in the ADA got an FTTP connection :)

    Yeah it is a newish building ... about 2 years old. The other buildings are even newer next to us that have gone active though so I think it comes down to the body corporate holding off as long as possible.

    We do have VDSL so it's not as if we don't have good internet, it's just we can only get it through one provider and they are more expensive than a lot of the others.

    Anyway the wait continues.

    Looking at MyNBN for Dalwood NSW 2335 it shows rollout areas for Fixed Wireless and the location of the towers.

    When you check OzTowers for the tower details they don't have NBN listed there.

    ACMA has the following:
    NBN Co Site 363 Elderslie Road BRANXTON
    This NBN Fixed Wireless tower is located on ACMA Site 9023315
    Name NBN Co Site 363 Elderslie Road
    Location BRANXTON NSW 2335
    Precision Within 10 meters
    Latitude (GDA94) -32.620862
    Longitude (GDA94) 151.358397
    -32.620862, 151.358397
    Emission Center Frequency 13.059 GHz Bandwidth 28 MHz
    Emission Designator 28M0D7W
    Antenna Parabolic-P, UKY 220 27/DC15, ERICSSON
    Antenna Height (AGL) 37 m

    There is no 2300 frequency range listed

    This is what MyNBN says about that tower:
    Primary Rollout Status (2SIN-51-03-ELDE)
    Status Build Commenced
    Expected Ready For Service 01 Dec 2016 (accurate as at 31 Mar 2016)
    Build Commenced Mar 2016

    So, MyNBN seems to have more up to date information. Where are you getting it from?

    ACMA tower information is available here:
    http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/register_search.main_page

    Here is the specific tower:
    http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/site_search.site_lookup?pSITE_ID=9023315

    Cross-reference that to the NBNco coverage information and you can see, without any assignments, that it is the only tower possible to use based on the overlay of the Wireless bounds for 2SIN-51-03-ELDE

    This tower is already used by NBN for backhaul to other towers, so it would make sense to enable it for local reach too.

    I assume jxeeno has run some queries with assumptions to determine this result for the website.

    Edit: That said this site is also close by and has different CPE frequency sets.

    they were taken down as the results were not matching what was being seen in the wild.
    Also from memory they did not have vectoring included in the calcs

    I am looking for some clarification on a local tower � the NBN dude that was here seems to think progress will occur in the next couple of months, but I am thinking not.

    The tower is 4NGO-51-07-GING, according to http://www.rfnsa2.com.au/CCPage/ViewPage/3609?sid=S28Up5Go0u8dLc54AaCl47946FdQu8H87CgdYj4GAApUCS5S6U&siteID=4671004&mode=view, but the name for that tower, Gin Gin Central, comes up under 4BBE. Or rather it doesn't. Gin Gin is listed as an indicative coverage area but it appears to not be in the current three year plan as a *site*. As a coverage area, but not a site. NBNco's website just says they're coming to the area but doesn't say when.

    So, when will we know when it will be started on?

    Also, the above link has documents relating to Aurecon's consultative process and the construction plan for the tower as consulted with the community. This plan show a parabolic dish pointing at 227 degrees, but ACMA shows no dish registered on that azimuth. See http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/site_search.site_lookup?pSITE_ID=16851&pSORT_BY=&pOFFSET=50. Rather, there is a parabolic dish pointing 71 degrees.

    The dish ACMA knows about points "the wrong way" for the site name to be in 4NGO, and places it in 4BBE (as per finder). The dish ACMA doesn't know about points to "Horsecamp" (which interests me greatly as I live near there). The Aurecon plans don't show a dish pointing where ACMA thinks it is.

    So, who wins? ACMA, Aurecon, both, neither (Gin Gin gets nothing as NBN runs out of money before anything actually gets built)?

    TBH not looking into detail on dBm. It's estimates only with speed formula based on public info on expected speeds and I'll likely only publish a range eg. 60-80 for example. May actually ping Denmark555 as he has collated all the data reports on WP.

    Thank you Mr Mac. a very good chart and it puts me at about 65down 25Up however I'm with Optus on 100/40 plan and this is todays 6am speed test http://netgauge.ookla.com/share/460743619.png . I am 527m from node in Gorokan same area as Wahroonga Farm :-)

    I rang optus once more and I am now told that, that is all I can get on my line??? I told him I have had speeds of 37Mbps and recorded and should be more but can't get anymore. I have already spoken to NBN and they told me they had advised them see this part of their letter.
    "Our records for your address do indicate that your preferred RSP has followed their correct process and lodged an incident for investigation. When checking the incident, we have responded to your RSP with what is causing your speed to be reduced and we have advised them on what they need to do to resolve the issue. You will need to contact your preferred RSP, they will need to check the notes on the incident they lodged through to us and they need to arrange to resolve your issues by following the instructions provided to them."

    As a first point of differentiation, they are no longer announcing any new areas in the Build Preparation phase. This means that even areas usually have at least 3-4 months worth of work done on the ground before it appears on the rollout map.

    It's just a political tool.

    This is exactly what happened for Alice Springs. We had guys doing inspections and delivering letters to people who were to have an FTTN node outside their house, yet no build prep on the map.

    Amazingly the Territory Chief Minister announce the next step of the 'Developing the North' plan for the NT, by the end of the day Alice Springs was suddenly in build preparation......

    Thanks for all the hard work with the updates Jxeeno. Seems really weird though that all these areas are going into build yet theres no actual work being done on the ground. My area 3WBO has been in build for nearly 4 months now and I haven't seen any work or any nbn labeled vehicles anywhere, and I've driven around the Brownfields SAM locations. With some sites RFS in Oct and Nov....I can't see them being done anywhere near on time.

    There's been no media on it, no work...aside from the occasional vaccum truck, 1 of which I saw 6months ago and another I saw 2 weeks ago...nothing else in between. Really odd. Is this a phenomenon you're seeing in your data analysis of the nbn progress?

  • weetbix4011

    I cant believe it. "Build Commenced" has finally happened!!.

    I'm in Yass and build commenced only shows for the southern part of the town. I assume it will be done in two stages and they wont just do the southern part and leave the northern? I of course live in the Northen side.

  • jmanwf

    Question guys is this site pretty accurate for rollout information etc because it has Flagstaff Hill 5CMD has just gone into build preparation mode also the number of sams is now 6. The Build preparation isnt show in green on the nbn map yet for my area

  • 2016-Jun-17, 1:53 pm
    Deadly Chicken

    this site is inaccurate and has false information on it .

    Before the government changed, my area was listed on the map as build commenced.

    In come the new government and within a month the entire town was switched to no build commenced, it stayed like that for years.

    However I recently had fibre pulled to my house, yup FTTP, its not finished yet, but its not FTTN the map now says that my area is build commenced again, but it also says that everyone is getting FTTN including me, so unless they are going to also run copper from a node I don't see how any of this info on this site can be considered relevant.

    The fact that I am getting FTTP means that this build WAS in fact commenced before the change of government as why would they put in FTTP when they are avoiding that at all costs everywhere else ? because it was already in build from labours plan v1. so they lied when they took the build commenced away, and they are lying now when they say this is one of their successes in getting people connected, because labour is getting me connected from plan v1. They also are lying about the tech that is going in on their rollout map.

    so first off. Don't believe anything you see on that site, its probably wrong.
    secondly yeah I have had this coil of fibre hanging from the wall of my house for over a month now and nothing else has happened the cable is pulled from the FDH to my house .... the map states I am to be ready for service in November this year ?? I don't trust that because everything else about my location is wrong on their site. But having said that I don't doubt it could/will take many more months before I can apply for a service.

    Hi Deadly Chicken,

    Firstly, thanks for your feedback. But unfortunately, the information on our site can only be as accurate as what NBN Co provides. The fickle nature of the Multi-Technology Mix rollout means that the final technology you will end up receiving may change even as the build happens.

    As I have said on the rollout progress page, the area you're in (which appears to be 4FRV-01, correct me if I'm wrong) has a few "New Development" (Greenfields) rollouts within in. It's possible calculated it would be cheaper to roll out a new fibre cable to your place rather than connect you to a node if you close to a new development.

    However, as I have said, even the most recent information from NBN Co indicates that your entire Service Area Module will get FTTN (with the exception of the New Development, obviously).

    Don't believe anything you see on that site, its probably wrong.
    secondly yeah I have had this coil of fibre hanging from the wall of my house for over a month now and nothing else has happened the cable is pulled from the FDH to my house .... the map states I am to be ready for service in November this year ?? I don't trust that because everything else about my location is wrong on their site. But having said that I don't doubt it could/will take many more months before I can apply for a service

    As this thread would show, the site has proved to be quite accurate for the majority of people. There are obviously exceptions to the case and as I've said � we can only be as accurate as the NBN's own information.

    In your case, your best method to verify that status of your address is probably to call up or contact NBN Co directly. They have internal systems which can likely tell you which technology your premises is currently designed to use.

    Hope that helps,

    NBN Co is phasing out the "build preparation" status on its rollout map, meaning it's no longer shaded until your area reaches the "build commenced" stage. From memory, the last batch of "build preparation" which were added to the map were from March 2016 (or thereabouts).

    We're looking at a number of options on how best to deal with this situation because as is evident, it causes a bit of confusion when an area does reach the "build preparation" page but an end user can't see themselves on the map.

    The truth is, even though we know an area has gone into preparation stage � we don't know the boundaries of that rollout area until it's published by NBN on their rollout map.

    I have a question that nobody has been able to answer, maybe someone here can answer it.
    On the 16th of May my area in Maryland NSW as well as Fletcher was shown on the rollout map as build has started, then 2 weeks later it only shows Fletcher. Now this week the rollout map shows the other part Maryland has gone into build but not mine. I spoke to construction crew in my street yesterday and they told me that area is 2NTL-01. Which includes the area that shows Fletcher as build. Also Mynbn is now only showing fletcher as of yesterday instead saying parts of Fletcher and Maryland like it said earlier in the week? I am just very confused. Any light on this would be great. Thanks

    Hi natlee,

    I've just checked and can confirm that 2NLT-01 has shrunk westwards between May and June. It's likely that they've split the rollout region into two parts (basically west Fletcher and east Fletcher). However, I'm not privy as to why that's happened... you will have to contact NBN Co (nbn) directly about it.

    Sorry I can't help any further.

    Hi jxeeno � hope the exams went well.

    NBN has been contacted regarding technology type used in the Tuxedo Junction estate in the Maudsland exchange (4MLS) area but have not responded.

    Residents in Maudsland are very interested to find out more about how the fully developed 10+ yr old Tuxedo Junction estate managed to get FTTP while surrounding areas have the second rate FTTN, for some this will be a factor in how they vote.

    Although this exchange was RFS on 20-May-2016 your info still shows that FTTN has been installed in that location.

    outback writes...

    Also one area (Tuxedo Junction Estate) has been installed with FTTP but your finder tool is still reporting FTTN � http://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/map?address=27%20Fred%20Astaire%20Ave,%20Maudsland,%20QLD,%204210,%20Australia

    I cant see here anything is written about the FTTN boxes in Maryland so thought id add this

    There are 3 FTTN boxes now installed in Boundary Road, Maryland
    1 near a big telstra pit near the shopping center (opp number 18) and has had techs working on it this week.
    the next one is outside 44 Boundary rd, Maryland and the next 72 Boundry Road Maryland

    i have seen a digger/driller on the corner of Prospero and Boundry last week and Ill continue to keep watch on the locations as im sure ill be fed from one of the boxes (44 is approx 200mts from box to my house based on past issue, running house to pit, pit to pit across the road, and tech said i was fed from the boundry road direction even though i have a telstra pillar on my opposite corner to my house) .

    Based on the feedback we've received from users about the confusing dual display (rollout region on the left, address info as infobox), we've rolled out an updated map interface to consolidate this data in a single infobox to make it clearer for everyone. The new UI should also be more mobile friendly.

    Additional rollout region information such as POI, CSA, SA and SAM continues to be available by clicking the "More info" link.

    Also, with the box at the bottom popping up, it makes it feel very cramped. Would be better to have it as a vertical panel like previously IMO, even if it was the same info, just arranged vertically. Or expanding the map vertically another 50% would make it much more usable

    Understood, although the reason behind the move to the bottom pop-up is the make sure it worked with mobile. Having the panel on the LHS made the map fairly unusable on mobile without a slideout panel

    I tried other brown areas and they seemed to work.

    Also you have our rfs date as December this year but we only just appeared on the Telstra documents about a month ago and our rfs date is listed at 09 may 17.

    Thirdly my house is new as of 2014 and is one of three houses that replaced a single dwelling at the same address. Google maps etc only shows the one residence and our 3 addresses have the same location ID. Is this a concern or simply a limitation of the mapping tool until updated by google/nbn

    NBN have not updated whatever jxeeno is using as a data source since that time, I'm suggesting that is/was politically motivated and updates are pending political events. jxeeno has no control of the source of information, but does a fine job of displaying it � better than NBN.

    Hi Jxeeno, just wondering with 3CRB-07 there is no ADA info available, and its due to go RFS on Friday. I have no idea which Node I am connected to, though I am in a small block of units, is it possible I would get FTTB?

    Thanks

    https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/map?address=27%20Fred%20Astaire%20Avenue,%20Maudsland,%20Queensland,%20Australia still says ""Accurate as at: 2016-02-20" even though "Ready for Service 22 May 2016" and "This area recently went active so we can't guarantee that a provider could connect you immediately." Also still incorrectly states "Rollout Type Fibre to the Node", whereas it's FTTP (/forum-replies.cfm?t=2526821&r=50811307#r50811307}. Still waiting for NBN to explain why this brownfield qualified for FTTP, while surrounding areas have FTTN.

    Yeah, but sourced from NBN. If you look at that link (today � 4 Jul-2016) it displays "Accurate as at: 2016-02-20".

    NBN (and jxeeno) still list the upmarket Gold Coast Hinterland estate Tuxedo Junction technology as FTTN, whereas it somehow managed to get a tax payer funded FTTP rollout, while surrounding areas have second rate FTTN.

    Not sure if I am blind or things have moved around, but I used to be able to see the number of premises to be connected to each node by clicking on the map (before the update). Is this information still available somewhere?

    I'm a bit lost/confused regarding inclusion on or exclusion from the infamous 3-year plan.

    6KAL (https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/sa/6KAL) shows 8000 @ FFTN for construction H1/2018 and RFS H2/2018, consistent with http://www.nbnco.com.au/learn-about-the-nbn/three-year-construction-plan.html. My suburb is included in the "indicative localities" but entering anywhere in our street gives the dreaded "No service info" and "nbn will be coming to your area, however construction is not expected to commence for at least another three years."

    Does this indicate that only PART of 6KAL/my_suburb is in the 3-year plan? How can I burrow down to get a better idea of planned build/RFS times?

    Hi everyone,

    For FSAM 4FRV-03 � Frenchville Service Area (Central Qld � POI 4ROT)

    The map is brown and indicates In Build with RFS November 16

    So my question is, does the 18 month swap over countdown start from 1-11-2016

    nbn� have service classes for copper, so fibre classes shouldn't be used in reporting, not sure where the error is generated

    Service Class 10 location is planned to be serviceable by copper
    Service Class 11 the location is serviceable by copper, copper lead-in required
    Service Class 12 the location is serviceable by copper, jumpering is required
    Service Class 13 location is serviceable by copper, infrastructure in place

    It's possible that you will be getting Fixed Wireless / FTTN within 3 years.

    Dam, was waiting to see when the SC3 (Service Class 3) stats would appear for my area to see how many approx people have taken up NBN services in my area.

    at least I can still tell if they have an NTD by the conduit running up into the roof on the side of peoples houses where the PCD is. (Most installs in my rollout zone have comms conduits running up into the roof ducts on the side of houses)

    It's deliberate. Amongst other things, giving detailed information on the build stops people ignorantly renewing on 24 month plans on their existing provider and gives nbn competitors better ideas where they should concentrate their efforts.

    Jxeeno has said in the past that he would never use Telstra wholesale despite what information they have but now that NBN has tightened things up he may have too use TW anyway even tho he doesn't want to as that's probably the only option left without having to dig deep for information.
