You will get the NBN. It will happen. Short term pain for long term gain. We poor suckers in 4NDG-02 still have to wait months! (Better than the alternative of not getting the NBN of course)
dillweed, at least you'll only need to wait months for real broadband internet. Folks in 4NDG-04, 05, and 06 will likely have years to wait to merely get fraudband.
Jenifur Charne
Always nice when its put into perspective.
Folks in 4NDG-04, 05, and 06 will likely have years to wait to merely get fraudband.
I may have to move from 06 to 03 in the next year...
If you want FTTP, probably a smart move.
people in 03 tell me that it's RFS, the map on the NBN Co website tells a different story. Why is it not updated?
Has anyone in 4NDG-03 actually got a connection date yet?
I have an order in with Aus BBS ATM, but no install date, even tho I was advised that one was usually provided within 2 days (order in last Thurs).
Here is what the ISP told me today:
"Your connection should be up and running by 4-Dec but the date is dependant on when the NBN can test/install equipment to your place. We are still waiting to hear back from them with regards to that date."
Encouraging, or not so much?
Dan � so they've obviously been out and "tested" the box at your joint already?
Dan � so they've obviously been out and "tested" the box at your joint already?
No. There's nothing installed at my place at all. I'm in an SDU, so no cabling or any work carried out ahead of RFS.
Wow. That's an interesting response from AusBBS then. We do have boxes here and I never got a date put on an installation or anything. We're still waiting for our boxes to be "tested".
Wow. That's an interesting response from AusBBS then.
Yes. I've heard good things about them, but I've never had a change of ISP without some pain involved � and I'm anticipating more pain on this one given the change to a completely new network.
The question in my mind with this response is, there's definitely an issue in there somewhere � but is it with Aus BBS or NBNCo?
I chatted with a neighbor on the train last week who told me they had a connection date booked with another provider, but now I wonder?
Does anyone have a connection date, is the ISP raising expectations here?
Surely more ppl would have posted here from 4NDG-03 if they had techs booked in to come out and do the install?

Guys, this is my current speed. What can I expect if I go to Fibre?
thanks
AusBBS was just going to let me sign up but iiNet isnt still.
Ok. Well I just recieved an email from iiNet inviting me to sign up... so a little later than AusBBS last Thursday, but perhaps a sign of progress?
I signed up with AusBBS 3 weeks ago. Tried their website one day and it worked, previous to that it never worked.
I signed up with AusBBS 3 weeks ago. Tried their website one day and it worked, previous to that it never worked.
Your address is planned for release by the NBN and will be available for service soon. AusBBS can take your order now and will process it with NBNCo as soon as your address is activated.
No luck for me...
That's the same as what I got. It let me go through the order process and create an account, select a plan and pay for it.
Might be hope for us yet

Mr Switkowski added that changes to NBN Co's construction maps since the change of government did not mean households previously slated for a fibre to the home connection would no longer receive one.

about 18x faster download and 54x faster upload! :) That's a 100/40 NBN connection with SkyMesh, using the speedtest hosted on actual SkyMesh servers. Once you start going off peering links or international etc, you wont keep those speeds on a single task typicaly.
That said, if you have multiple threads running, such as several torrents in parallel you can indeed max the connection (uTorrent reported 13 MB/s yes megabytes)

Hi scarecrow420,
We've found that customers can squeeze a little bit more speed from www.speedtest.net if they choose a server that's hosted by Telstra or Optus. They seem to have a bit more bandwidth available, or the servers they use have a bit more processing power. Worth a try.
Thanks, Paul
Thanks Paul.
A few Mbps doesn't really matter too much, considering I used to only get 900kB/s on ADSL2 (old house, bad line to the excahnge!). Phenomenal any way you look at it!
Here are a few quick results this morning, indeed Internode does seem to be slower than others
Internode server 88.85Mbps/31.16Mbps 3ms
Telstra server 92.75Mbps/36.95Mbps 17ms
Auto selected server (GCOMM) 94.70Mbps/29.56Mbps 2ms
Im about to move to NDG-01 so definitely lucky in that respect to be able to be on FTTP now in APL-03 and also have it at our new place... Good luck to those in areas that will hopefully still get FTTP throughout 2014, given the recent anouncement from NBNCo!
JX � what do you reckon mate? Even money bet 4NDG-03 goes live this week on the RFS reports?

Crispy81, I've just heard 4NDG-03 has officially been cancelled and has been marked for copper 2016. 4NDG-01 and 4NDG-02 are still going ahead with fibre. Not sure why 01/02 survived, a bit odd. Sorry man :(

Well worth it then, how much is this new speed costing you? I'd like to not pay more than $50/month.
Thanks
Well worth it then, how much is this new speed costing you? I'd like to not pay more than $50/month.
You may have to spend a bit more than $50 to get 100/40... maybe $70 or so? Otherwise speed will go drastically down. *Not a plan specialist*

Really, so is it a tiered approach? Approximately what would it drop down to?
Yeah good. nice try man.
He he he
Well worth it then, how much is this new speed costing you? I'd like to not pay more than $50/month.
you will be looking more at $100 to $120 depending on speed and bandwidth.
im looking at 120/m for 100/40 speed ph bundle with 200Gb from telstra. looking into others as well but all seem around $100
Im at North Lakes on a new estate and have no choice but fibre. NBNco have benn stuffing up for 4 months now due to a blockage in their pipes that was tried to be blamed on my builder. finally got a new trench in and all hooked up and now telstra have cancelled 2 appointments to hook me up because the backend software still hasnt released my job!!! not happy jan.... so who else has a good plan other than telstra? looking for at least 200Gb and 100/40 with ph.....
Just got off the phone with NBN. Dude tells me the only area to go live is Aspley and there is no estimated time of RFS for 4NDG-03. Standard response really.
Really, so is it a tiered approach?
Yes. Looking at iinet, a 12/1 MB connection with 20/20GB downloads is $49.95. Others may be a bit cheaper... but i wouldnt think by too much.
Wait a sec, just looked at skymesh, they have a 100/40MB plan with 20GB data for $50.
Maybe you just need to do some research? Do you know how much data you use/need?
so who else has a good plan other than telstra?
What makes you think Telstra have good plans?
eed...
What makes you think Telstra have good plans?
sorry.. you are right... what was i thinking....
so any hints? iinet have similar but its 100/100 peak/off peak , of peak being 2am to 8 am.
isn't the cheapest 100/40 plan around by nbnsp.com.au ?
unlimited that is
I used to pay 79.95 a month for cable. Three teenage girls, all of whom demand amazing amounts requiring net usage for school.
The lifesaver has been NBN � 100/40 for the same cost. I know we have won the postcode lotto � sorry everyone � but if you do not believe this is the future then more fool you.
NBN is good value. Purely considering the top speed tier at 100Mbps/40Mbps it's pretty much similar cost for around similar quota options as ADSL2 I had previously, but of course that fantastic 100Mbps speed! NBN is even cheaper (and still faster) than ADSL if you go for lower speed tiers speed tiers but like alot of people on here, I was only interested in the top speed.
On iiNet ADSL2+ I used to pay $60 for 60GB+60GB (uploads not counted), plus $30 line rental. I later moved to naked DSL which was $70 with 250GB anytime quota but uploads were now counted. Im still with iiNet but now on NBN on the top speed 100/40 plan I'm paying $80 for 100GB+100GB and uploads counted of course.
So my $80 100Mbps NBN is $10 cheaper than my old ADSL2+line rental, and $10 dearer than the naked DSL, with all around the same quota give or take.
I've also recently been trialling the skymesh NBN 100/40 plan (yes I have 2 NBN connections dont hate me) which is their 200GB+200GB quota and also includes a voip phone plan (which I havent even hooked up lol). I believe the cost for this setup is $100 for the internet and $10 for the phone plan. More expensive than the iiNet offering ($100 gets you 500GB+500GB with iiNet), but I do hear that Skymesh can custom tailor a plan to your needs (at a negotiated price), eg if you dont want uploads counted, or want more/less peak or bonus data etc.
iiNet has been good but their plan quota/pricing (not offering a $90 option with somewhere between 100GB and 500GB quota) is annoying. When I move to my new house at Nudgee (and then wait for 4NDG-01 to actually be RFS!) I will definitely see what $$ Skymesh want for a custom plan to suit my needs (something like 100GB-200GB quota with no uploads counted).
At this stage my advice would be to go with an RSP that has no lock in contract if you can... that way as more people get on NBN and the RSP's start innovating with their plan structures etc, you are free to try a different RSP. iiNet is good value but I believe you do get locked in if you sign up now (luckily for me, when I signed up there was no lockin). I believe SkyMesh has no contract
Hope this info/experience helps some of my fellow APLxx and NDGxx neighbours :)

Dude tells me the only area to go live is Aspley
Did the Dude say which part of Aspley will go live? STILL waiting on 4APL-05 to happen after the first 4 Aspley sub-regions went live at least six months ago! Can I possibly dream and hope for NBN before Xmas?
nah. He pointed out that the areas in purple on the map are the only areas live to date. Not helpful at all.
Did the Dude say which part of Aspley will go live? STILL waiting on 4APL-05 to happen after the first 4 Aspley sub-regions went live at least six months ago! Can I possibly dream and hope for NBN before Xmas?
Fingers crossed 4APL-05 gets re-added to the rollout. Annoying because it's RFS was supposed to be December.
Did the Dude say which part of Aspley will go live? STILL waiting on 4APL-05 to happen after the first 4 Aspley sub-regions went live at least six months ago! Can I possibly dream and hope for NBN before Xmas?
The short answer is no. You won't get it before christmas and it's likely you will never get it at all. You can start _praying_ that it get's re-added to the rollout and maybe you'll get fiber in time for Christmas 2014. If you are lucky. Otherwise you will have to wait for FTTN in 2017 or so (if the current plan/farce isn't stopped). Assuming you even want FTTN that is, otherwise you will probably have to wait for an additional 10 years after current rollout is finished for real fibre.
I'm with you though, I'm in 4APL-06 :( Wired up the new house in anticipation and everything.
EDIT: forgot about the pay-to-upgrade-to-fibre possibility, so you might get it sooner (ie when FTTN comes to your area, maybe in 2017) if you are willing to pay for it. And if such an alternative becomes feasible.
No comment...
4NDG-03 is now officially RFS.
However not my MDU.
"Franklin Street, Nundah QLD 4012
Fixed line | The NBN is available in your area.
Your property will be permanently switching to the NBN on 13/05/2015". I hope that last part just means the copper gets switched off in 2015.
NBNco rollout map had this to say:
"Walkers Way,
Nundah QLD 4012
Service unavailable, Build commenced | Fixed line
There are NBN services available in your area. However, work is still in progress at your address"
I just gave them a call and they said that I should wait to get the mail drop saying it is ready to order a service, but if I don't receive anything by the end of next week, i should call back and they'll log a case.
I sooo wish they would start the 4ACO region like they were supposed to. I cant believe stupid NBNco skipped my region.
The news just gets worse and worse.
NBNco have ceased showing FSAM boundaries for any area not already under constructon.
This means that on the NBNco site, and any other site accessing that data, unless the FSAM handling the area covering your address has either an A or B marker on the NBNco map, you will no longer be able to find out which FSAM area you are in.

I got the missus on NBN alert. Just received this email from her.
This is in 4NDG-01 area...
"NBN co van and green cable (thick green cable) was outside the Telstra exchange on St Vincents Rd this afternoon. I forgot to take my phone otherwise I would've stopped to take a photo. They were working in the pit outside the exchange. 2 guys. In the back of the van."
I just gave them a call and they said that I should wait to get the mail drop saying it is ready to order a service, but if I don't receive anything by the end of next week, i should call back and they'll log a case.
I hope this applies to us as well in 03 that aren't able to order a service yet as well.
Yeah, I'm also NDG-03 so I can only assume we're in the same boat
There was some fibre work on Kedron Park Rd at Wooloowin this morning, just past the emergency services complex and the Park Rd intersection. A roll of fibre on a truck as well as the big thick fibre cables pulled up into the back of the van (splicing etc maybe?). Of course the NBN map now doesnt show anything here so I dont even know what region it is meant to be, or whether its green fields or just back haul. I didnt think any work was really occuring in this sort of area at this point but I have been focused on APL and NDG really since thats where I live and am building :)
"Walkers Way,
Nundah QLD 4012
Service unavailable, Build commenced | Fixed line

At about 2.00pm this afternoon a NBN worker was working on a pit in Walkers Way.
Re: 4NDG-03
Although the NBN map shows my address in Hows Road as being shaded purple the following words appeared below the map:
"Service Unavailable.
There are NBN services available in your area. However, work is still in progress at your address. For more information, please call the NBN Co Contact Centre on 1800 OUR NBN"
I called the NBN � a very helpful lady checked and told me that the service was in fact available for my address. I rang Optus and arranged a date for installation.
More Re: 4NDG-03
I'm the Nudgee Rd end of York St..... the NBN map has been saying "service not available" but I just realised this is because my street number is not the same number registered on the telco database (I have previously had the same problem with Telstra's copper pair database).... I think this is due to a lot amalgamation in the past.
Anyway � I put in the street number that is 2 numbers different from my postal address (the lot that was amalgamated) and it all came up as connected / available etc.
Worth a try if you getting similarly confusing info from the NBN map.
Cheers
Wazza
I'm the Nudgee Rd end of York St
I'm at the Nudgee road end of Franklin St, one block behind you. I get the same message as you. I wonder of the Telco database uses lot numbers?
Called internode to arrange an install .... got 90% of the way through the process and was then told my place was showing as "service class 0" even though the area was active.... and they could not proceed with the order.
Not sure why they didn't check that at the start of the 10+ min phone call.
Anyway called NBNCo to get the low down
The online maps are a general indication only of an individual block being active
They guy I spoke to referred to some "mysterious final connection back to the block that takes an unspecified period of time to complete"
It was suggested this would likely happen very shortly (days / few weeks)
Whatever the mysterious final process is, I have a letter saying all work onsite has been completed... so it's some offsite thing.
I'm in a townhouse
Wonder if Santa or NBN will be here first?

@Zardos2: Did you have an external PCD already hanging off the side of your place before you called the ISP? Can't say my experience with Internode was as productive. Back to placing an ADSL order today :(
We've got the NBN boxes on the side of the townhouses in the complex.
This is complete rubbish, the area is RFS but we still cannot order a service. I want someone's head on a platter. Is it Daly International that are "servicing" 4NDG-03?? FFS.
This is me keeping calm.
You go Glen Coco!

That's absolutely nowhere near an "in construction" area on the NBNCo map. Wonder what they're doing there?
It's also about 3 blocks from my place. So close, yet so far :(.
Yeah as I posted on Friday, I wasnt aware of what construction was meant to be around this area, even under the old plans before the election etc. Is this one of the ACO regions or not even on that old plans/map? Possibly backhaul related, or a greenfields development nearby. Or perhaps the emergency services headquarters are getting NBN!?? Or maybe they just like eating fish and chips? :D Hopefully not, since they had witches hats up and pits open.
Last week they were working on the big fat fibre runs as opposed to the smaller strands and had cable rolls on truck too. This time there didnt appear to be any fibre up out of the pit in the vans etc
Three NBN vans and crew were set up outside the Nudgee telephone exchange this morning.
@Zardos2: Did you have an external PCD already hanging off the side of your place before you called the ISP? Can't say my experience with Internode was as productive. Back to placing an ADSL order today :(
No Optus arranged an appointment for NBN to connect the PCD on a Monday next month. The second appointment is for Optus will to set up their connection the next day.

GO GO 4NDG-01
I have an order in with Aus BBS ATM, but no install date, even tho I was advised that one was usually provided within 2 days (order in last Thurs).
Ok. It's over 1 week on I decided to cancelled my AusBBS order today... unfortunately this company is unable to provide a firm appointment date (at least in 4NDG-03 as at earlier today).
After cancelling with AusBBS I called SkyMesh. In contrast I recieved an immediate connection appt on 9 Dec and, after speaking with the consultant, decided to take up the 60 day free trial incl 100/40 connection with 200/200 gb data limit, voip w $100 worth of calls.
Experience signing up with SkyMesh was great.
FYI Other ISPs called after deciding to cancel included Exetel (20-25 day timeframe for connection) and Activ8me (4NDG-03 is available, but not yet on our scheduling system for me to make an install appointment).
Edit: Should say that all staff at AusBBS were very pleasant to deal with, just unable to provide a connection appointment.
D
Dan � you're in a SDU yeah?
Dan � you're in a SDU yeah?
Yes. That's right.
Funnily enough, had the SkyMesh letter drop offering free trial in my letterbox when I got home.
I've been lurking in these threads for awhile, and the info has been very helpful. I'm posting now because we've just moved into a new build MDU (4 townhouses, built Aug 2013) near Hedley Av / Buckland Rd in Nundah. This puts us in 4NDG-03.
Apparently there is asbestos in the pit on the footpath, NBNCo have referred us to the subcontrator (Daly International) for an installation date, but they're telling us that Telstra have still not had the asbestos removed so they can't haul the fibre into the premises.
Does this make sense? I would have thought that in order for the fibre to have been run through the pit on the footpath they'd have already had to had the asbestos removed?
I'm not sure who to contact about it, everyone seems to be blaming Telstra but getting accountability out of them is not easy. Also, because it's a new build, they (Telstra) refuse to even connect a fixed line into the premises so we can't get ADSL as a temporary solution.
Any ideas?
Welcome to wacky world of 4NDG-03 MDU's. We've got all the fun and games here. No one knows what's happening, when they're being able to order a service. Nothing, nada, zip.
roll the 20 sided dice and see what happens whether you can get connected before Christmas or the end of the year for that matter.
Haha yeah as I've been reading these threads I've really been empathising with you Crispy! Fun times.
Fun times.
That's a relative term. It's anything but fun I'll give you the tip. But at least we will get it, let's keep that in perspective. Spare a thought for our brothers and sisters in neighbouring areas who missed out altogether. Think we need a national "We almost had FTTP but it was taken away" remembrance day, once a year, every year.
see what happens whether you can get connected before Christmas or the end of the year for that matter.
Just be thankful that you're going to get it, there are a lot of us on the northside reading this thread who will be lucky to ever see it in their neighbourhood.
Just back from my mate's place on corner of Amelia and Little Jenner and they are almost finished installation, he's hoping to get activated today, will advise
so there's contractors in the area testing boxes?

Yeah but how are you going to power the NTD if you refuse the PSU ? For the record I don't want it either
Going to have it mounted on the garage wall and there's a power point right there. Or am I doing it wrong and the PSU plugs into the wall and the other end into the NTD?
Going to have it mounted on the garage wall and there's a power point right there. Or am I doing it wrong and the PSU plugs into the wall and the other end into the NTD?
The NTD feeds into the PSU via a white lead which plugs into wall socket. I didn't see a black power brick lead anywhere to plug the NTD straight into the wall socket. Maybe you can go out and buy that separately but I doubt the installer is going to allow that.
Oh right, well there you go.

That's a disgrace really. Got more blokes onto it. Actually, if he's still there, ask him who he works for? Bet it's Daly International and if so, I'll be lodging a complaint to the TIO or someone.

He finished at 11 so around 3 hours all up, probably takes a nice long lunch before the afternoon job. Mate is anxiously waiting on activation SMS, he went with iPrimus.

After 5 months of crappy 3G internet I've finally bit the bullet and signed up for adsl... Knowing my luck tomorrow they'll announce 4NDG-01 is being moved up, but that wouldn't be such a bad thing now would it?
Saw a Telstra dude chilling out in and around a pit corner of St Vincent and Meredith yesterday. Also spotted the NBNco van parked outside Beehive (just parked, not working) and later drove off uphill St Vincent today around 1pm.

So it was all too good to be true. NBN tech came out to my place in 4NDG-01 this morning and confirmed it was as I originally thought, address is not serviceable.
Got a date of 22nd January for it to be serviceable, possible new date for all of 4NDG-01 to be active? Thoughts?

According to this http://www.telstrawholesale.c

I really really hope that after they finish 4NDG-01 and 02, they can start on 4NDG-04.

I am in 05 and haven't seen a thing since the election.
I got all excited when I read this post by jxeeno a couple of days ago. I know it was only speculation on his part regarding 4APL-05, but we need something to happen in our area for FTTP to become a reality. Alas, false hope and dashed dreams again!
I'm expecting a couple of 4ACO FSAMs to be added for Queensland. 4APL-05 is also likely to make the cut, if we're basing on when NBN Co expected Gate 2 to be passed.
The timeframes listed on my website were purely estimated. So, I have no idea if 4APL-05 did indeed enter remediation stage.
Where about in 4NDG-02 was this happening?
Sorry been a little busy last few days, its on Alverstone St, off Tufnell Rd.
Also another in Hazlitt or Barrington St. not sure which one.
Hopefully not far off now! :D
Asbestos revivalists working on pits along Nudgee road Friday. They were in multiple locations all along Nidgee rd. I tired to take a pic but only managed to get a pic of a car driving past.
I am really starting to think the new year is going to bring good things for the 4AC0-02 FSA :-)
Some more changes in RFS dates...
Haha they changed it again!!
4NDG-02 is back to May.
Dudes pulling green cable around midday today corner of Tufnell and Kelyndar (or Byth)
Good to see them back at it. I just want them to finish Nudgee / Nundah then hopefully NBNco will release 4aco build instructions. There was heaps of pit works occurring in the lead up and over the Christmas break in 4aco-02 area which is pleasing.

Some positive news to the above. Driving to work this morning i spotted this at the Hamilton (4ACO) exchange on Lancaser road
Its only a matter of time now that we turn to brown "Under construction" on the NBNco rollout map in the 4ACO region me thinks.

Ah, good old splicing! Looks promising indeed :)

Tho according to Turnbulls stance on clear and transparent NBNco activities / communications there is no work occurring here and this area is NOT "under construction"
LOL

Surely you are not suggesting that government policy and actual work in the pits are somehow mismatched!!!:-S
Hmm � more blue cable..
Going in here...
strange...
Spotted two blokes rodding pits on Chalk St. Lutwyche � wasn't even on the 3yr plan IIRC. Wonder if they're lost?
Chalk Street, Lutwyche is outside the NBN area. It's closest areas are 4NDG-04, 4NDG-05, 4ACO-01 and 4ACO-02, but even then, it's still far enough away that it couldn't be for the NBN. It doesn't even look like it's between Exchanges or POIs.
Buggered if I know what they are doing there, unless they are doing work for Telstra itself...
Buggered if I know what they are doing there, unless they are doing work for Telstra itself...
At the same time there was a road crew about 20m ahead of the guys rodding, cutting a trench across the road right in front of the local kids day care centre and next door to Lutwyche Shopping Centre. Didn't see if they dropped a conduit in or anything � may need to go for a walk later to see if they were linking pits.
There were also no Telstra personnel or vans in sight. The guys rodding looked very mum and dad spec � no hi-vis clothes or branded workwear etc.
I've also seen quite a few Telstra baracades around pits in the Lutwyche area lately. But then again they may have always just been there and I'm only now noticing them.
About 6 months ago I also saw an NBNCo crew in a pit on Kent road. Bizare stuff.
NBN Co Info Team at Toombul Shopping Centre this morning, asked them about 4NDG-02 and expected date of "May".
They said this has now been delayed till "Sep" due to some "damaged conduits", website still says May, and not sure I 100% trust the Info team, but she did seem pretty confident with the delay, said they have told the news to a lot of people this week ...
Sad if true :(
NBN Co Info Team at Toombul Shopping Centre this morning, asked them about 4NDG-02 and expected date of "May".
When I asked those droids working the NBNco roadshow at Toombul about 4NDG-04, they couldn't even call up any info about that FSAM or area.
Jenifur Charne
I feel sorry for the NBNco roadshow team at Toombul. They are getting a lot of people from the Ascot/Hendra/Hamilton area (including me) asking about NBN rollout and they have no information that they are allowed to share. Despite letterbox drops in the last few week, NBNco denies that anything is happening. I've had the same response in emails as well.
I asked them last year when they were at toombul, all they could do was bring up the nbnco website.
Really helpful guys :p
I asked them last year when they were at toombul, all they could do was bring up the nbnco website.
Welcome to the more open and transparent government.
That NBNco roadshow bunch of droids are merely programmed to dispense the info from the NBNco website, that joe.sixpack.luser does not have the intelligence or motivation to look up himself.
The roadshow setup can't even pull up NBNco maps for FSAMs that aren't active in use, or current in progress, builds.

So for anyone interested in the new stages of the Circa development in 4NDG-01 I was able to check inside our new house as well as outside over the weekend and it looks like the PCD (external box) is installed on the exterior wall, the battery backup and NTD (NBN modem) are installed inside in the cabinet in the garage. Connection between PCD and NTD is in place, however it looks like the actual fibre from the street does not connect up to the PCD at this point. At least it should be pretty straight forward when the time comes, looks like there is a condiut in place and a pull string perhaps as well. Don't know if O'Doherty circuit itself actually has the fibre in the ground yet, and whether they would do the premise connections "on build" or "on demand". Hopefully it's the former, otherwise 70 houses are all going to be lining up for appointments to get fibre pulled from the pit to their PCD (along with the rest of NDG-01)!
here are a couple of photos
They said this has now been delayed till "Sep"
So 02 will be nearly a year overdue in the end, ridiculous !
So 02 will be nearly a year overdue in the end, ridiculous !
At least it will merely be a year overdue for you to get Real Broadband.
If you have the misfortune, like myself who is in 4NDG-04, to live in one of the formerly FSAM mapped areas wiped from the NBN map, then you're looking at Real Broadband some time in the distant future but most likely never, fraudband maybe sometime in the next decade or so, and steadily degrading ADSL2 till the fraudband is installed.
Jenifur Charne
If you have the misfortune, like myself who is in 4NDG-04,
AFAIK 4NDG-04 and 4NDG-06 may still be coming. People have reported seeing activity. Sure, they removed us from the map but there is still hope they had some obligation to complete the contract.
Don't rely on the map. Ever since coalition came in, the whole NBN process has become top-secret.
Telstra workers digging up/working on pits in Roghan Rd � the western most end, near Travorten Estate. 4APL-05.
No idea if NBN related or not. :(
More work in 4ACO-02:
135 Oriel Rd, Ascot
Note � The NBN Co worker is holding black cable.
The lead in cable is black, could be for the MDUs
Okay. That makes sense, cause they were leaning over the fence of the units. I just assumed they dropped something and were trying to find it.
Drove through wineries estate in 4APL-05 (Sherry and Champagne St) and saw about 5 pits with pink spray paint on them, looks like pit remediation underway the same as 4APL-06.
About three or four separate teams splicing and burying green cable into pits this morning in 4NDG-01, along various streets feeding off St Vincents Road north of the phone exchange. Yay!

Saw quite a few pits like this yesterday at 4APL-06 that didn't have fences around them last week, just the pink paint:
4aco-02
My 4 dwelling MDU has been wired with the grey box on the outside wall yesterday. Maybe 4aco will still get fibre...
Pic's or it didn't happen :-). Unless you are in a new development or another provider is installing services to you MDU it won't be NBN.
There has not been a rollout to my knowledge of NBN services to the 4ACO-02 area. This is of course you may now fall under a 4NDG foot print which might explain why you are getting something but i would be VERY surpised if it were NBNco in 4ACO-02
I was quite surprised to... The mdu is brownfield 1970's I am in 4aco-02 when I check the map on
http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4ACO-02
From what I have read on whirlpool small mdu's are being done by a smaller team somewhat unrelated to the rest of the roll out.
Can you only link to pics? Sorry for not reading the rules.
Activity on the St Vincent's Road end of Bungunya Street this morning.
Half a dozen Theiss and NBNco contractors working on what looked like an FDH two or houses in from the corner.
Edit: might have been Paradise St � wasn't really paying attention.
Activity on the St Vincent's Road end of Bungunya Street this morning.
Saw them ;) Got excited lol.
4APL-06 � more pit work today on Nilkerie St, Binara Ct and Kalara Ct
Guys are still going at it, 7.30 at night and pulling cable through corner St Vincent and Tufnell near shops.
4NDG-02
In Ellamark street we had the men in suits pulling asbestos out of the pits on Tuesday.
I also saw this in Patrea st today:
http://tinypic.com/r/2i4vt1/8
18:30 NBN Co rolling out green cable on Nudgee rd (near Tufnell rd intersection). Very dark at that time. Trying to meet deadline?
I'm sure you guys will be happy to know that FSAMs 1-7 are 4ACO are back on the map:
- 4ACO-02 � (Hendra, Ascot)
- 4ACO-07 � (Eagle Farm)
- 4ACO-04 � (Hamilton)
- 4ACO-05 � (Eagle Farm)
- 4ACO-06 � (Eagle Farm)
- 4ACO-01 � (Hamilton, Ascot)
- 4ACO-03 � (Eagle Farm, Hamilton, Pinkenba, Ascot)
RFS dates are not currently available yet. Will post an updated when I know :)
Great news for those in 4ACO, was hoping we would see 4APL be added as well, oh well.

I am happy they are back on �but looking at the history they can as easily be removed.
Great news that most of 4ACO is back thanks jxeeno.
Hrm nbnco.com says build commenced Feb 2014... What about Sep 2012 � Jan 2014??
What about Sep 2012 � Jan 2014??
Nothing was happening. It was a figment of your imagination!
Nah seriously, "build commenced" is when contract instructions are issued to do the actual build. Until that date, it's preparation and remediation.... so we're meant to believe. :)
Jxeeno will have a more technical explanation. :)
Jxeeno will have a more technical explanation. :)
In short, the period between September 2012 and January 2014 was their design and planning, design acceptance and Telstra remediation stages. Since the new management came in to NBN Co, they've changed their map reporting mechanism to only include areas where the actual build instruction were issued.
NBN Co now agrees that this created confusion and is looking to add areas to the map before the actual build commencement in the future � e.g. at the design acceptance or the Telstra remediation milestones.

In other words, they realised the error of their ways! :P
Hope this happens. The current "nothing until they start laying fibre" is atrocious!
Thanks for the explanations.

If they can manage to do this it will make the process more transparent... Even if only to give the necessary planning and remediation acknowledgement.
4NDG-02
Lots of activity happening on Tuffnell Rd. today including green fibre being laid up the Nudgee Rd. end of Tuffnell Rd.
I've noticed two new FDH cabinets while out walking this week � 4NDG-01-01 on Redhill Rd near the St Vincent's Rd intersection and 4NDG-01-02 in Bungunya St.

Almost makes it worth going for a walk ;)
finally man! Welcome to a whole new world.
I can't wait! I'll post some speeds so we can compare. Got my NBN modem here collecting dust.
I've been reading this forum with interest over the past couple of months as I have purchased a house in Circa Stage 5 � we finally have a settlement date of Friday 11th April.
Has anyone living in Circa been successful in booking an appointment for connection? I have just phoned iinet and Internode and both are saying that it is not available.

We are in the same boat, settling on Monday the 7th. We bought in stage 5. As you would know stage 5 and 7 are finished and starting to settle, while stage 6 i believe is still under construction. In terms of NBN, since a few weeks ago, the new circa estate stages 5 6 and 7 are showing up on mynbn.info as greenfields builds (Stage5 AYCA-F34TA, Stage7 AYCA-F356L, Stage6 AYCA-F354D) rather than as part of the 04NDG-01 brownfields area as they had been for so long. Concerningly, the live date on the greenfields ones is showing July 2014 but Im hoping that now NDG-01 is live, ours might magically come online soon as well? Also strangely, the stage6 and stage7 greenfields on mynbn.info give a 404 error when you click on them on the interactive map, so only stage5 actually has any information (not that the information is very good news!)
No idea what we are meant to do between now and july, use wireless I guess?! What if you need a home phone (not that I have one these days but still!).
@jxeeno, can you shed any more light on these greenfields zones listed? How long have they existed? Also how come 2 of the 3 give 404 errors? Do you think from other things you've seen that we really could be waiting another 3 or 4 months after 4NDG-01 goes live? Our houses have PCD and NTD already installed but no fibre from street to house. Not sure if there is fibre in the street or not (I hope so!)
My street in 4NDG-01 was showing up on Telstra as being active as of this morning, NBN / Internode / iinet still showed up as building
Rang Internode, turns out Railway Street is live and i've been booked in for FTTP installation on 16/4/14
15 more sleeps!
ours might magically come online soon as well?
There wouldn't be much work involved I imagine � I wonder if there is fibre run down the streets yet... No crushed/old/asbestos pits to remove at any rate...
No idea what we are meant to do between now and july..... What if you need a home phone
Unless I'm mistaken, isn't there legislation that Villaworld have to abide by that prevents settlement of a new house occurring until it is connected (physically) to utilities such as water, power, sewerage and comms?

I phoned Telstra last week and they said there is a line in the street but that the connection from street to house would be my responsibilty. And I get to pay $299 for the privilege! Obviously my preference would be to have NBN available when we move so I don't have to pay the $299 line connection fee for what could be only a few months of ADSL.

Im pretty sure you cant get ADSL/copper when you ar ein an NBN area. Also im pretty sure they wouldnt have laid copper in the new streets of o'doherty circuit and they are probably going off info regarding the existing houses on O'Doherty Circuit who DO have copper and ADSL currently...
Just for giggles I phoned up an ISP and got them to try my new address on the NBN portal and it said it wasnt available. Meanwhile a friend's address on Conlan Street just around the corner (in 4NDG-01), came up as available.
can you shed any more light on these greenfields zones listed? How long have they existed? Also how come 2 of the 3 give 404 errors?
Hey scarecrow420,
Those two greenfield developments would have only appeared in the last 30 days. Unfortunately, I've been unable to get hold of any updated information in regards to Greenfields areas added in February.
Until additional data is provided, those pages will (unfortunately) remain 404. Sorry :(
Rang Internode, turns out Railway Street is live and i've been booked in for FTTP installation on 16/4/14
15 more sleeps!
Lucky you!!!!!
I am not that far away from you, hope my street is made live soon!
... they said there is a line in the street ...
Did they specify whether it was copper or fibre? I'm just wondering whether Telstra's response that you got will be the standard response for all Greenfields areas. Won't be good if it is...
Bugger the Inner North, give the Outer North some lovin'

Boy don't you know how to make friends. As an inner north person and a attitude such as yours i say sucked in.
I was on my way to The Brickhouse Cafe when I saw NBN Co, still doing their thing around Hendra (4ACO-02). This time, they've moved onto Manson Rd and Mein St.
See album.
Nice, i figure we should start to see cable being rolled out sometime in the course of April. This is a baseless guess but if it take 3months to do a suburb it seems logical.
Did they specify whether it was copper or fibre?
No, they didn't specify but I didn't think to ask either.
Anyone know of any recent remediation/preliminary work happening around Groves Crescent, Boondall in 4APL-08? I've seen some of the pit work happening further down within the triangle formed between North Boondall Station, Boondall Station and Sandgate Rd, but haven't seen anything happening in College Green Estate, and we really need NBN as we are in RIM port h3ll.

Only thing I've seen is from my post in September 2013 here: /forum-replies.cfm?t=1483735&p=82#r1624
Dam84 saw something more recently: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2177803&r=41645755#r41645755
Being a newer estate, there hopefully won't be any issues with asbestos like the "older" area: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2177803&r=42187947#r42187947
Few new pits in the area, on the corner of Frawley St / College Way, College Way in front of the dog park, Annesley Cres / College Way two pits and few pits along Northumbria Rd. This is what I can recall :)
I think my head is about to explode!
I jumped onto the NBNCo website this afternoon and it shows that Stage 5 of Circa is active and Stage 6 & 7 is still under construction � I am in Stage 5. Great news, I thought. Before phoning my ISP I would phone NBN to double check because I have been told numerous things over the last 4 weeks. The guy on the phone wasn't particularly helpful. Firstly he told me that nothing in that area was showing as activeI asked if he would like a screenshot of his website that I was looking at. He then told me that the developers got it wrong and my house didn't exist in Stage 5 and my Lot number was wrong. I asked if he would like a copy of my purchase contract with Lot number on it. He then told me that it wasn't their issue and that I needed to sort out with the developer. I asked to speak with a manager.
Outcome of conversation; Stage 5 looks to be active and bookings can be made. There has been a "problem" with my actual property though and they need to investigate. When I asked what the "problem" was, I was told most likely administrative on their end and I "should get a phone call early next week".
Fingers crossed. I won't be holding my breath.
Yay, received notification that I can connect to the NBN yay! NDG-01.
Just on hold with 'node now :)
Preparing for the new bigger NBN pit in my front lawn (so I was told).
Travorten Estate Bridgeman Downs 4APL-05
"Superior Broadband Services" van was at that location this morning with workman in the pit.
No power no computer. No point in having a battery backup up wan connection if nothing to use it

Since it was originally only for the voice ports so people with non-powered phones could make emergency calls, it was useful.
Then it changed to also powering the data ports. Useless unless you also UPS the equipment that will "use" those data ports.
Distribution fibre being layed en-masse (the one-inch diameter looking fibre) on the corner of redhill and earnshaw road, nudgee. They are laying in 4NDG-01 (which is live) but it is almost on the cusp of 4NDG-02. Working on a photo. :)

So the battery backup powers the data ports too does it? I didnt know that. I have a UPS powering my router and NAS, so this would actually be useful for me if I wanted to use mobile devices/tablets on wifi in a power outage, for example...

Yes I drove past that last night, thick green cable everywhere, a lovely sight!
I also rang NBNCo regarding Circa stage 5 and got somebody really helpful. All the addresses should be in there but only by LOT number rather than by street number. I specifically asked about your lot number bueller_ct (as per whim) and was told it was all good, so not sure what the earlier "problem we cant tell you about" was! I checked a number of lot numbers from stage 5 and all came back good to go...
I then rang my ISP and had them use the LOT number to find the property, and they succesfully booked my installation (next available date was 24th April). More information in the VillaWorld/Circa thread over in the Real Estate forum
Update on Circa development at Nudgee...
NBNCo actually came through earlier in the week, pre-wiring the street to house fibre drops. Since we already had PCD and NTD installed, that means all is good to go! I had an appointment booked for 24th April but I rang up saying Id actually been wired up now, and my NTD is showing green lights... I was able to be activated over the phone. Came online last night after having some apparent DHCP issues where both my router and a laptop plugged directly into the NTD, couldnt get an IP address. It finally came good and am all online. This is in Stage 5 Circa, the NBNCo guys were working down O'Dohertiy circuit and had said they were doing all properties so hopefully everyone else will be able to get activated as soon as they move in! As mentioned, if your ISP cant find your property, try using your LOT number rather than street number
Then it changed to also powering the data ports.
When did this change happen? All the NBNCo documentation still says that the backup battery is for UNI-V ports only... it's good news if it does UNI-D now.

No idea. I got told off months ago in here by those that know that it had changed.
Install is underway. Getting the NTD under the house and will run ethernet back upstairs.
Apparently the first connection. Though not sure if thats first for NDG-01-05 or the whole NDG-01.

Congrats Lutomes. It must be the first for 4NDG-01. I made my booking 2 hours after 4NDG-01 went live and the tech was booked to come out tomorrow (15th). I'm probably the 3rd or 4th in 4NDG-01 to get NBN.
I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight ;-) Hope the install goes well for you.
Please provide pictures of the install and screenshots of speedtest.net results ;-)
I had the option of morning or afternoon on the 14th, I'm not a morning person. ;)
Tell him to get a move on so he can start on mine. :P
Lutomes have they finished?
Fatpm have they arrived at your place yet?
Us poor people still on crappy ADSL2+ need updates ;-)
Us poor people still on crappy ADSL2+ need updates ;-)
Indeed we do. Will be home tomorrow afternoon and be updating this thread with pics as the install progresses. Very excited!
Lutomes have they finished?
Fatpm have they arrived at your place yet?
They finishef about 12:30, had to leave before it came online. Got a sms from internode saying i needed to reschedule / rebook. So i dont know what thats about yet. Internode thought my install wasnt done, which isnt the case. Will know more when im back home.
Edit � Not sure whats wrong but I'm re booked for Thursday afternoon.
Hopefully whatever got mucked on mine is fixed for everyone else.
Hopefully whatever got mucked on mine is fixed for everyone else.
Lets hope it was only an issue at your house and not the Exchange :P
@FatPM, have the NBN guys arrived at your house yet?
Hey sorry, I too had to leave early. At work right now but am getting updates via SMS from my sister. She is saying the installer has arrived and is installing "the things" but is telling me (very vaguely) that the cable is not reaching downstairs (live in a queenslander). She also says a guy is coming back tomorrow to fix the issue. Will update with specifics later.
EDIT: So I am told everything is done but the installer will be coming back tomorrow afternoon to finish the downstairs unit. Blurry pics!
She also says a guy is coming back tomorrow to fix the issue. Will update with specifics later.
Bugger! which probably means my install is going to be delayed. Damn you queenslanders!
Hope not, I have my booking for 15/4/14 in the pm, haven't heard from internode so hopefully it's all good.
So here are the pics:
http://imgur.com/J3KaNFL � That's the full install. the chipboard panel behind the NTD/Battery was supplied by us. Please don't blame NBNCo for that shoddy work ;)
http://imgur.com/LOxcRJl � This is the NTD close up, though not clear in that pic the Power + Optical lamps are solid green. So everything 'should' be working. However it's not still.
Internode had to do some kind of password/username check/sync which was pushed out ~5pm and would take 90min. I've power cycled since and no dice.
Also planning on moving the NF2 Router upstairs to our office. Just need to re-locate some cat5 that was previously joining the lounge room with the ADSL2 modem to the Office. Not doing that till the internet is fully working though.
So unfortunately I'm still stuck with a re-book for 17th.
I also have a sundry problem with my NF2 router. I can connect over 5ghz wifi, but not over 2.4ghz. The 2.4ghz doesn't appear to even be broadcasting the SSID. (checked with a Asus laptop, Samsung SGT7.7 tablet, Nexus4). The tablet & phone I can happily use 5ghz with. However the laptop is draft-n only and doesn't appear to support 5ghz. Anyone got ideas. I've tried manually setting a network channel, G-spec only, security set to WPA2 only / AES only. Which is as basic as you get. Doesn't appear to matter if I'm 20m away or right ontop of it.
[edit] Anyone know if I can pull the power plug to the NTD from the connecting battery. I just realised power-cycling at the wall doesn't help if the battery is holding the NTD settings.
Thanks for sharing the info Lutomes.
Let's hope Internode can get it going for you on the 17th.
Still waiting on my NTD to stop blinking green... It's strange that you all didn't have to wait adnwere able to connect within an hour of connection.

Still waiting on my NTD to stop blinking green... It's strange that you all didn't have to wait adnwere able to connect within an hour of connection.
Green blinking light is good. What makes you think it's not working? I first couldn't connect because I wasn't using @internode.on.net in the username.

Gratz man, you made it to the cool crowd. Welcome, brother.
Super excited! yes we finally both got NBN.
I feel like I've gone from from the Nissan Pulsar club to the Bugatti Veyron club ;-P
Got it all sorted after calling up iiNet. It's glorious!

Plenty of activity in 4APL-05 today with Telstra and Superior Broadband Services techies everywhere, along with vacuum trucks cleaning pits/conduit. My emerald green shade of jealousy when hearing of connection speeds achieved by recent NBN connections in 4NDG is fading slightly � here's hoping the remainder of 4APL is going to be up and running soon. I don't even mind if my ADSL2+ connection is down for the day if there is NBN work under way.
Roping along Sandgate rd in 4apl-009.
Anyone seen any activity in 4ACO. It's all gone a bit quiet following 4ACO pit remediation and being added back to the map.
Anyone seen anything ?

Because neither the router or a direct ethernet connection is able to pickup internet. Internode also confirmed they are waiting on NBNCo to come back out and 'enable' the connection.

That's weird. The NBN guy who comes out and does the install, activates your line from his iPad. It's done on the spot. I wonder if there is some fault they not telling you about.

At the end of the job he was waiting around for about 10-20min waiting for a response from NBNCo. But because the power+optical was green, and I had to head out in the afternoon, I didn't get him to wait on site until it was fully working.
The message I got from Internode was that I was eligible for a priority reschedule due to an infrastructure fault. But given optical is green lit, I can't see how it's inside my premises and not something they can just fix at the FDA or at least to the PCD.
Congratulations TObject and FatPM. Very nice speedtests for you both. Lutomes, it won't be long for you now mate.
A few nights back the intersection of Toombul road and St Vincents road had NBN guys there until at least 7.30pm [4NDG-02] laying distribution fibre.
All eyes will be on 4NDG and 4ACO areas now for their respective go-live dates. Exciting stuff, won't be long for these guys now.

I'm in 4NDG-02 and currently get about 5-8Mb/s on our ADSL2 connection. Hopefully now with 4NDG-01 going live our ADSL might speed up a bit until we get NBN! :)

Yep,
Looked like trenching work going on in Kitchener Rd and Lancaster Rd on corner of Kitchener and Lancaster Rds on Monday (4ACO2). Lots of trucks with boring gear and coils of plastic pipe. I haven't seen any fiber yet though.
Greg
lots of work along Toombul road near Northgate road today, fingers crossed for 02 going live next month, we've been put back too many times
There is a new nbn box near sabi.... Forget the st names.... I'm guessing the ducting is good around us...
can you pre-order an installation before that date ?
NO, but you can order it the day it goes live. You'll need to call your ISP and tell them to check the NBN database.
Hmmm how much would having 100mbit NBN already up and running sway your choice of rental unit? There is a new development at 126 Vernon St, Nundah with NBN live, but a bit of a walk to train station. Or units a bit cheaper closer to nundah central just ADSL2+ available. Decisions, decisions...

Get good internet AND some exercise. :)
100mbit Interwebs > being close to train station
Juding by other areas, (at least in Aspley i know this was the case) even when the region goes live, there could well be further (and often significant) delays for MDU (multi dwelling units) to then come online, depending on seemingly a number of factors such as whether the body corporate registered and did all the right things but also perhaps just a default delay for MDU in comparison to regular connections.
There would certainly be less surprises with the place that is already connected, but you shouldnt pick a place to live purely based on when it will get NBN since getting FTTH _at all_ puts you in a far better position than the majority of Australia. I guess it depends on how long your lease would be as well � the longer you will be there the more sane it would be to choose whichever property is better for your needs, knowing that both will eventually have FTTH
How much is a 'bit' LOL.
About 1.5kms across a park and down a long quiet residential street. Not sure I would want the wife to walk back alone at night time...But that 100mbit NBN goodness..
Apparently the property developer is an IT guy and its already online � free internet until June, then you need to change over to your own plan. If you look on the nbnco website the address is there with a "new development" marker.

Although with 100mbs you could find a new wife more quickly ;)
I have my NBN installation this Thursday. I hope the installer gets it done nice and early before the rain comes :)

Buy a bicycle?
Edit: in responset o scarecrow about improving speeds .. I was on a oldish laptop so tried it on the PC and had more luck. But it rained here on the weekend and the optic light went red and we have a technician out today to repair it. It was a 2 day old connection before it broke.
A number of Thiess NBN vans in NDG-02 this morning along St Vincents Rd and the streets coming off it.
We had ours connected last Wednesday and the guy pinched the cable, it rained and my NBN connected lasted for 2 days before they had to replace it! Credit to NBN they had someone out within two days to fix it.
There were a few Road Runner traffic management crews out this morning around Nudgee road doing FDH work this morning. On my ride down Nudgee rd i spotted x4 crews. These had NBN labeled yellow barriers on their vehicles.
It was action on Zillman road as well this morning.

Fixed it for you. Thank me later.
Hi guys!
I am wondering if anyone has any news or updates on 4APL-09. There was fibre being put along Church Rd (Taigum) but then when the new Government took over, 4APL-09 was taken off the rollout. Anyone know if we will get FTTH??
FYI: In February, I saw roping being done on the corner of Lomandra and Church Streets.
"4APL-09 is a mystery wrapped in enigma and having such "CRAP" internet speeds being far from the exchange as 09 is, we are in no-mans land" FTTN will just not cut it!"
The day before the turf was due I ordered a stack of stones to use around the spa area, without thinking that I needed to move them all from the front of the house to the back before the turf went down!! fence companies brisbane
