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.

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

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 ;-)

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.

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.

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 ?
What makes you think it's not working?
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.
Old connection: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3440097637.png
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! :)
Anyone seen any activity in 4ACO. It's all gone a bit quiet following 4ACO pit remediation and being added back to the map.
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.

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.

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!"
Just very briefly spoke with an NBN (installer) employee on Racecourse Rd, Hamilton and asked if he was interested in several cases of free beer to wire up my place. He laughed and stated it would be several months before ACO-01 would be at that level.
hahahahahahahaha!! I should make the same offer to who's going to install NBN in 4APL-08 and 09 and see what they say!
3 weeks to switch on in 4NDG-02 !
the work that was being done at cnr raceview and Nudgee roads was indeed a FDH, took a wander to it yesterday but they havent put on its tag yet � otherwise, finished.
i am in a MDU but the owner is a pretty nice bloke and wants it fibred � when i moved in he said hed already talked with NBNco about how he wanted it patched up? so hopefully rather soon after the 30th i can put in my order :D
that would be 4aco-02? just looked at myNBN which seems to indicate its slipped a little to 23 Jul, but its an early access approved build so if the FDH is in... we'll see i guess
Hi,
My wife said there are few NBN guys rolling out �white stuff� on McIntyre st hendra https://www.google.com.au/map
I would think that �white stuff� is pipes for the fiber

Rodding and draw wires being run on Stafford Road, Stafford yesterday.
There is a large cluster of shops along the road, could be hooking those up early.
Rodding and draw wires being run on Stafford Road, Stafford yesterday.
But there's nothing planned to be built there yet.
Does anybody know if 4ACO will be FTTP or FTTN?
Afternoon gEEbusT,
Look at this link,
http://www.nbnco.com.au/cont
As with all things with NBNco, I wouldn�t guarantee / bet on anything until it happens. But looking possible / probable at this stage.
Thanks
BB
Does anybody know if 4ACO will be FTTP or FTTN?
Any NBN that isn't Satellite, Wireless or announced as a FTTN trial in association with Telstra should be Fibre. As the FTTN requires the Telstra contract be changed. Though the current Government can't be trusted with anything.
Does anybody know if 4ACO will be FTTP or FTTN?
It's FTTP. If you go to to http://www.mynbn.info/ it'll state (in green) next to your area 'FTTP''
4APL-05
Spoke to guy checking covers on pits (in my front lawn) today � he had a "guesstimate" of 3 months for the cable to done.
I guess they have forgotten 4APL-05 and 06. No news or activity for a long time now.
Superior Broadband Services have been all over 4APL-05 the last few weeks replacing pits, so plenty going on. Pit remediation must nearly be complete so hopefully the next step will be fibre being laid.
A whole lot Pit remediation at 9.30 pm (15/5) along Beams road, heading East just after Murphy Road. Seems a bit odd for Telstra to do Pit remediation quite late at night unless there is a contract that has to be filled before EOF.
Superior Broadband Services have been all over 4APL-05 the last few weeks replacing pits, so plenty going on. Pit remediation must nearly be complete so hopefully the next step will be fibre being laid.
Incorrect, next step once pit remediation is NBNco expanding pits and installing FDH cabinets. From what i have witnessed in 4ACO is this takes quite some time as there is a fair amount of work involved in the next step.
Following this you will see rodding and roping which is the phase which 4ACO-02 seems to be upto, the next logical step is then Fibre rollout. etc etc.
For context Telstra did the pit remediation work in 4ACO around December / Jan last year.
4APL-05 has already been rodded and ropped. It was due to the abestoes that all work stopped last year, even though the ropping was done about a year ago
What about 4APL-06? any activity lately?
Less than 2 weeks to switch on in 4NDG-02 woohoo ! surely they can't throw a spanner in the works at this late stage,
house wired, check
data cabinet installed, check
the Fritz bought and configured, check
all set for NBN here :)
Just drove past along Beams Rd this morning and saw more work (Telstra was doing it) which I also found odd, almost got excited for a moment that 4APL 08 & 09 are close behind.
Anyone know if any of the remaining 4APL Modules are part of the FTTN trial (hope not!)?
NBN battery unit kept the Internet running which meant I didn't get a new dynamic IP
Doesn't the battery just backup the Uni-V port?
Super glad to hear you guys/gals in 4ACO-02 are getting NBN soon ;-)
RFS has dropped back from July to September now .. can't wait!
From the mouth of the NBN itself, the battery backup is only compulsory if there is a medical need so it's optional now
Can you ask Internode to not order the backup battery? Or is it mandatory.
From the mouth of the NBN itself, the battery backup is only compulsory if there is a medical need so it's optional now
i believe that hasnt been the case since sometime mid last year � i had NBN from early last year til i had to move (waiting for 4aco02 here to get back on).
in any case i believe it was around june a firmware was pushed out; and after that point it was keeping both uni-V and uni-D up for me... i wasnt using uni-V in fact! so it was a pleasant surprise that in tandem with a UPS for the router and a PC or using a tablet off the UPS'd router i had no loss of service while the power went down.
will be taking the battery backup with mine at my new digs, if i can....
mark... shit it is too.. was 1 june, slipped to 23 Jul and now its sept? bugger that!
says its early access eligible; i guess that will be a forlorn hope though :(
mark... shit it is too.. was 1 june, slipped to 23 Jul and now its sept? bugger that!

Nope. It can do data ports too now.
3 days to go for 4NDG-02!! Although, i haven't got my hopes up, 9CVI-02, 4IPS-02 & 3TMN-05 were all due earlier this month and are yet to go live...
Anyone seen or heard of any recent activity in 4APL-08 FSAM for Boondall (specifically, College Green Estate area)? I've seen a couple of large yellow plastic pit covers around the place... pit remediation for FTTH, yes (fingers crossed)?

I haven't seen anything for a long time. I saw them many months ago checking the ducts (with yellow cable).
My fingers are still crossed that the fibre roll-out will continue for all of 4APL � although by the time it's done, I might have moved away.
so what are the chances of 4NDG-02 going live tomorrow as expected ?

Daylight � come on man! Where's your sense of adventure and belief? As if it wouldn't be live tomorrow. Oh ye of little faith... not that I can blame you. lol.
I have seen very little action in 4NDG-02 recently.
There are two possibilities why:
1) everything is complete, all that is needed is a turn of a switch to activate the services, or
2) nothing is complete and the 30th of May 2014 was a typo and meant to be the 30th of May 2015.
I actually am leaning towards option 1.

There is a third option you missed.
3) nothing is complete, the 30th of May 2014 was a not typo, and due to ongoing delays work is unlikely to be complete before the 30th of May 2015.

Congratulations 4NDG-02 for the go-live!
I think it is bizarre, that even though 4NDG-02 is live, the nbnco website still shows the area as under construction, and not live.
I would have thought they would be chomping at the bit to get people to connect... If I hadn't known about whirlpool or mynbn, how would i know the area was live?!

That is because you are NOT supposed to know that your area is live and ready for use, until the NBNco website is officially updated to say that your area is live and ready for use.

I wasn't sure due to the big banner saying information is out of date or unable to be updated (or some such). Thanks
thats the case for most of the site but the RFS date has been kept up for the areas in build i suspect � 02 has changed a few times in the last three or four months.
Hi,
There are some rolls of fiber at the end of McIntyre St � outside the entrance to Tea Tree estate
J
Woo! 4NDG-05 is now in "Build Preparation" stage. I'm going to assume that's good. Would mean all the Telstra fences around some broken pits out here were actually about remediation.
NBN Co has now started reporting areas where Telstra remediation has commenced on the NBN Co rollout map. The following areas are now shaded green with a "Build preparation" status:
4APL
- 4APL-05 � (Carseldine, Bridgeman Downs)
- 4APL-06 � (Carseldine)
- 4APL-07 � (Fitzgibbon)
- 4APL-08 � (Boondall)
- 4APL-09 � (Taigum, Boondall)
- 4APL-10 � (Taigum, Zillmere, Boondall)
4NDG
- 4NDG-05 � (Wavell Heights, Nundah)
4APL-10 � (Taigum, Zillmere, Boondall)
We've had a contractor around the area for the last two weeks changing out pits and cleaning. Fibre was laid ages ago in Church Road less than 40m from my place. Anyone know if this build will be FTTH or FTTN.
Anyone know if this build will be FTTH or FTTN.
Everything is still FTTP � until at least 2018.
Everything is still FTTP � until at least 2018.
They can't do anything about FTTN until they renegotiate the deal with Telstra. The present deal is to pay Telstra to close down the copper. The new deal will be for Telstra to "maintain" the copper so it can be used from node to premises. The deal is going very very slowly and my guess lucky to be concluded this calendar year. Until then they can only move on with FTTP.
Much work today at the top end of Windermere Road, 4ACO-01. Vacuum Cleaners cleaning out pipelines. I asked the traffic guy and was told it was for the NBN.
Install date of the 11th of June, will I be the first in 4NDG-02 to be connected ?
How did it go?
I've had my lawn literally torn up for the conduit run, no asking, they just did it mind you. Not long to go now.

I've had the guys at my place too in preparation. I was lucky, the fibre ran straight up the conduit without any issues. Ready to go!
How did it go?
Not good, as expected they insisted on following the order which included the battery backup in spite of me specifically telling my ISP I did not want one, I don't have space for one in my NBN cabinet you see.
So they put in the drawstring from pit to house and left
Now I have to wait another 2 weeks until the new install date ! not happy at all

Damn :( Was this Internode?
It was AusBBS, they submit the order to the NBN thru AAPT, don't know where the stuff up lies, as usual too many middlemen and nobody takes responsibility, such is corporate life these days
Is this confirmation of FTTP continuing to 2018?

Service Stream to continue NBN rollout with new $140m contract
Utilities contractor Service Stream will continue to build the National Broadband Network for the next two years after its contract for home and business premises connections was renewed.
The new contract, which Service Stream has the option of extending by another two years, is worth $140 million revenue during the initial two-year term.
"We are pleased that NBN Co has renewed our contract as the roll out of the National Broadband Network gains momentum," Service Stream managing director Leigh Mackender said.
Silcar and Downer are doing Queensland

I drove past an NBN van working in Zillmere this morning.
They were on the corner of Zillmere Rd and Muller Rd (next to roundabout).
They had the green fibre cable coming out of the pit into the van, for splicing I assume.

Plenty of pit remediation going on on Muller Rd today as well.
Looks like I miss out on the new areas by a few streets. Good to see some new areas being released however.
NBN installation has arrived! I had the 8am-12pm slot, guy arrived at 9.30, so pretty happy. Unfortunately, I asked Internode for NO battery backup, but alas they guy said he HAS to install the backup, as it is part of the order, and I would have to re-book otherwise. Bugger that, I've waited long enough!
but alas they guy said he HAS to install the backup, as it is part of the order,
you must have got the same crew as me, well I sent them packing, I figure I've waited long enough for the NBN and I expect a decent and neat install as requested.
Unfortunately, I asked Internode for NO battery backup, but alas they guy said he HAS to install the backup, as it is part of the order, and I would have to re-book otherwise.
Same issue here. Guys were great though, tried to speak to NBN and because the order says Battery, the app won't let you activate without it. My install is all done and is neat and tidy, did a really good job and you wouldn't even know it's there ( install was done without battery), its just the NBN Co issue to rejig the order now to activate so I have to wait.. again. Hopefully they sort it out quickly cause, I literally am ready to go, just need to activate and i'm off as the testing came back all good.
Daylight you should have got them to install it without and just waited another few days or so.
For anyone else reading this � Specify 100% with your ISP AND NBN if possible that you do not want the battery. If the order comes in with battery, it HAS to be installed. It's a legal issue and the iPad app wont let you activate without it.
My re-install is booked for the 26th and I phoned the NBN direct today to check that the order will be done without the battery backup and they confirmed it was good this time so fingers crossed the crew has a good order.
Did the installers have any issues with installing the NTD far away from the NBN utility box on the outside of the house.
Do you think the following is going to cause any issues?
Single storey house on slab. Current Telstra external box is on the external garage wall on left of house, study / bedroom converted to a study is on the right side of house about 15m cable run through roof cavity would be required.
It is the closest bedroom.
Thanks

If you get the same guy then no, not an issue.

Going through my junkmail, it turns out we had a notice from "Silcar, construction parter of NBNCo".
Saw the flyer too this morning. That's a good sign. I've checked the NBN Co website and it seems that it is now a fixed line roll-out instead of fixed wireless from the initial plan during the Labor govt.
Brisbane and dense population were always going to be FTTP when labor was in government. Only regional areas with a smaller population density but viable to service would receive wireless and satellite for the remote and the rest. On the NBN site it was labelled "FTTP", only after the LNP came to power that they changed the acronym to "Fixed Line", which could theoretically mean FTTN or HFC. It is only a term meant to confuse the uneducated.

I don't really frequent this forum so I don't know what terms have changed but yes, it seems that it is possible that it will be a FTTN. I re-read the flyer and it mentioned fibre distribution hub (FDH) cabinets.

It will definitely be FTTP (fibre), same as it was always planned to be, not wireless or FTTN (dsl) :) Hopefully we'll see some cable/cabinets in the following weeks.

Not entirely sure what they are doing (was only driving past), but I did see a car today which had a huge spool of green cable on it's trailer today (first time I've seen these fabled green spools, so I'm going to assume it's fibre). If anyone are able to have a closer look, please do :)

disappointed in the ping time, thought it would be quicker
Usually the following applies
Green => NBN
Blue => Telstra
That is what i thought was the case or at lest blue was some other commercial fibre service be it pipe, Optus (Hahaha just kidding they use strings and cups), Opticomm etc etc.
Though that does seem to be a lot of Telstra fibre work for an area that is to be NBN.
Well yeah that is what has been perplexing me, there were a whole heap of NBN guys on a daily basis but then all of a sudden it switched to the guys working on the blue fibre, it has been clearly marked as Telstra works at times, i just don't understand where the NBN guys have gone ? or perhaps NBN guys disrupted Telstra infrastructure and they need to clear out while Telstra remediate or something along the lines of that.

Having worked in Navigator place there are a lot of commercial buildings in that area with Telstra fibre so you may be right about NBN disturbing Telstra cables and Telstra needing to remediate. Either that or the NBN teams have moved to a different area to keep everything moving along?
Edit: I just remembered that the fibre in Navigator place runs back to the airport site while your photos of blue fibre look like they are taken outside Doomben?

I have a quick question particularly aimed at those who have had NBN installed in their area.
It's definitely Doomben Racecourse.
It's the General Admissions gate at the corner of Nudgee Road and Hampden Street.

Driving along Stanworth Dr in Boondall it appears there are new pits being installed in the footpath as you approach the lights on Sandgate Rd. Down Beams Rd it looks like new piping is being installed to handle the new fibre cables by a Civil Infrastructure company I don't remember the name of. They were working near the driving range this morning and yesterday lunchtime they were at the roundabout near the old uni campus
Just got a phone call from Telstra saying that the government will be starting to switch off the copper in November and not next May 2015 as she said as most people are already on the NBN...I am on Nudgee Road, Northgate..
This was a courtesy call to advise and not a sales call (good for a change I thought)

For anyone interested, I saw 2 spots prepared for fibre cabinets on the weekend. One on cowie road (near ray street) and one on balcara road (near dorville street).
The power went out yesterday in our area, I strolled down to the guys working in Ray St... http://i.imgur.com/uLTqY6x.jpg ...they said the power issue wasn't them.
But they did confirm the area was planned during the Labour government hence we will be getting FTTH and not FTTN. :)
Saw green fibre being pulled in dorville road northern end. Near Ray street.

It was however the guys working on Beams Rd. Lost power to our office for 2.5 hours
Energex did some work at Beams Rd last night.
4APL-08
Pit remediation continues. Saw some guys clearing a pit on Lyndhurst Ave, Boondall this morning. Asbestos signs, roped off etc. big yellow cover in place now.
They were pulling green fiber on Zillman Rd this morning
4apl-06
They were fitting the fibre cabinet on cowie road this morning. Didn't get a chance to take a photo.
Pit work on Hamilton Rd in front of the small local shops.
Fibre being rolled on Zillman Rd near Gerler Rd.
I'm fairly certain I saw a boring machine on Handford Rd Zillmere this arvo near the Post Office.
I am annoyed that the NBN have skipped 4APL-05 and are completing 4APL-06 & 07 first, pit remediation seems to have been completed weeks ago, would they be avoiding 05 because it seems to be a much larger area than all other 4APL areas.
I think -05, -09 and -10 have been finished with most pit remediation for a while. I'm in 4APL-09 and I have seen quite a bit of activity in 4APL-10 recently along Handford Rd. It looked like they were preparing to run cable in an underbore across rail line from end of Zillmere Rd beside the Zillmere station this morning. There was a drum of the green cable on the eastern side of the station and there has been trenching/civil works on the western side of the station for the last week or so. I think they will soon have everything in place to run cable from Zillmere Rd in 4APL-02 to the last place I saw a roll of green cable, out the front of Taigum State Primary a few weeks ago, which I am guessing they ran through the recent trench work to the south of there.
Is hard to tell if all of that work is for 4APL-09/10 or if it is going to run back up Beams/Roghan Rds and into 4APL-06/07, certainly indicates that the pit remediation is progressing in at least portions of 4APL-09/10.
I'm in 4APL-08 and the school within our zone is already connected up � will they just run our cabling down to hook into the link to there, or are they going to run it along Beams Road through 4APL-10 first??

I was also surprised by this. I believe 4APL-07 already mostly have telstra fibre (ie Fitzgibbon chase), so that new area is probably quick and easy. Not sure why 06 was pushed ahead of 05 though, but maybe for similar reasons. I think 06 has many new houses and in general I suspect the infrastructure is newer and in better condition (making the rollout easier/quicker). But who knows.
EDIT: you could argue that 07 should be on low priority since they have better connectivity than surrounding areas already, but who knows why they do what they do. Usually it's about portraying one thing and then doing something else.
["I'm in 4APL-08 and the school within our zone is already connected up
Out of interest, which school is that? Boondall S.S. is the only school I know of in the area and is in 4APL-09 according to the MyNBN map. Do you know whether it is hooked up? Thanks.
Out of interest, which school is that?
I think the school ads086 is thinking about is probably Nudgee College � but it's not connected. The Holy Spirit retirement village sits just south of Nudgee College and it was connected as a greenfields project.
The section of purple on the map may look like it includes a bit of Nudgee College, but the college itself isn't connected.
Oh yeah, I forgot about little old Nudgee College... Thanks Derwan.
So the nbn for 4aco-02 according to mynbn has been delayed to dec 2014 now
Just had a knock at the door from the NBN installers in my apartment complex. Happy days and a little earlier than expected considering the work in the area (ACO-01). Advised it should take a couple of days :)
So the nbn for 4aco-02 according to mynbn has been delayed to dec 2014 now
oh FFS.... five delays from mar this year � would love to know whats behind it � sub/contractors? Malcolm sticking his oar in? Telstra dawdling for pit+pipe remediation?
whatever it is i just want them to get their freaking act together. this crap is starting to wear rather thin....
On the upside at least you get ftth eventually. Many others won't!
So there has been a lot of activity around 4ACO-02 but most relevant to myself is what i came home to today.

Not sure what happens next, i guess there is a bunch of splicing to be done.
So that sounds pretty promising.
I did however call NBN co this morning to ask the estimated completion time. He told me Feb 2015. I asked how come mynbn website says Dec 2014, and he said he couldn't comment on that as he doesn't know where other sites gets their information.
So i'm not sure what to think now.
Hopefully it doesn't keep getting delayed.
I think mynbninfo ready dates are from the Telstra NBN documents. The next update may reflect what you have been told.

To be honest, i don't really care if it gets finished in December or it gets finished next year some time. The most important thing for me is that they installed fibre to my house during this piece of work, because, i know there is not going to be another bite of the apple once NBN has rolled past my house for a long time and the fibre boat will have well and truly sailed.
I do feel bad for those who end up with FTTN for the above reason however.
Lime green fibre going into pits along Beams Rd Carseldine today � outside the new(ish) townhouse estate where the excavators have been for the last week.
I also noticed an FDH box along the fence through there, as well as more fibre being installed along Gympie Rd in front of the nursery at Carseldine/Aspley.
Any chance that the government cheapens out and does FTTN for 4aco-02? Or is it too late to change now and it'll be done FTTH ?
Any chance that the government cheapens out and does FTTN for 4aco-02?
If contract instructions have been issued (brown on the NBN Co map), it'll be FTTH.
My understanding is that the agreement with Telstra to use/buy their copper hasn't been reached yet, and so if you're on the map in either green or brown you'll be on FTTP
New FDH installed on Dorville Rd cnr Denver Rd
Notice in letterbox from Silcar today advising construction work in our area is about to commence.
I seem to be in 4APL-10; Muller Rd near Roscommon Rd, Boondall.
Yay!
Jan
Notice in letterbox from Silcar today advising construction work in our area is about to commence.
Construction or pit rectification? I'm not sure they would distinguish the difference in such a letter...
Have you seen any pit rectification works going on in 4APL-10? I'm eager for this area to start as I'm only 2 streets away from it and hoping my area will be next!
We got the same letter a couple of weeks before actual work started (before area went brown but after it went green). It specifically says they are about to commence the fibre rollout. Remediation in our area had started many months earlier.
4APL-10 is now brown ("Build Commenced") on the NBN maps.
I just had a look at mynbn. My area, 4apl-06, entered "build commenced" phase in June (after unofficially starting remediation in January). A month later in July we got an expected completion date of April 2015. What I didn't realise was that yet another month later (ie August), this has now already been delayed until September 2015 :(
Shouldn't complain, but so annoying. The first few weeks there was heaps of workers everywhere, but as soon as the cabinets were up they all went to the next area I guess (probably to do with how they are paid). Barely seen a soul since then, no wonder it's taking so long to get an area RFS. If only they (government/NBNco) had some interest in the fibre rollout and tried to work on improving the situation, I bet we could see a lot of positive results (some of which was demonstrated in Melton for example, which NBNco bizarrely refuted the positive feedback from).
Yes was quiet for a while in 4apl-06. However recently my son has seen splicing in Allira cres and testing in the FDH in balacara ave. ( dorville end ). Also in our weekend walks there was a green fibre spool hanging out of a pit in Mulkarra pl for 4 x weekends. That is now gone. new is a spool of fibre is on the nature strip in Nikerie st. So a bit of action north of beams road happening.
TPG now available on the 4AC0-02 area when it goes live according to nbnco webslite :-)
So much of the physical work seems to be completed in 4ACO-02 which leads me to think that they are in the testing and commissioning phases.
Can someone outline how long this typically would take for this period of work to be undertaken ?
As i noted in my previous post TPG has enabled been enabled for the area which to me means that it must be getting close if they are reading themselves for customers.
Do the NBN contractors leave an area (and come back at a later time) if there were too much of other types of construction in a particular street? (ie affecting their access to footpaths etc.)
Dude doing testing/with a laptop on a FDH on Robinson Rd near Murphy Rd and Geebung Station.
That is already enabled area.
4ACO-02 now with a RFS date of March 2015 ??? How is this so, where did this info get sourced from and how reliable is it ?
Much of the rollout activity has been completed in 4ACO-02 i would presume its just testing and activation.

I've asked Jxeeno, lets see what he comes back with. I surely hope this date is wrong.
Mundza � have they pulled the fiber to your house yet?
We just came back from holidays but the big green coil of fiber located at the entrance to our estate has disappeared so I believe they have pulled the fiber through the estate. We still don�t have fiber all the way to our house.

4ACO-01 still says January 2015 and it has always been later than 4ACO-02.
They always seems to keep getting delayed but I don't care as long as it just happens and doesn't become FTTN.
4ACO-01 still says January 2015 and it has always been later than 4ACO-02.
It had 12 November on it for a while which was going to be ahead of 4ACO-02. It changed to Jan 2015 with the most recent update.

I obviously don't check it often enough. Good to know you guys are watching.
So I queried jxeeno on this and what made the dates change
Quote "Most of the delays are due to a new requirement by NBN Co to install the premises connection device (at the side of the house) for a 30-50% of premises before declaring Ready for Service. As a result, all FSAMs after October will be shifted by a couple of months."

Based off this i would expect all the dates to change.
4APL-08 "Work started in your area in Sep 2014" � finally !
Haven't seen any work being done in last 12 months though...
I saw a couple of guys doing some measuring in College Green a few weeks ago. I had no idea at the time who they were � but now I'd say it's to do with the NBN. :)
I had a look on MYNBN at 4ACO is now listed �Expected RFS date: Mar '15 (delayed)�
Do you reckon they are trying to delay so we will not get FTTH and instead FTTN?
It is getting a bit ridicules the way it is at the moment. I have not seen much happening around our area in hendra.
They also have a list of new FTTN sites.
But yeah hope apl 08 will have it soon :)

No, I posted earlier with an explanation of the delay. Long and short NBNco are moving to build drop model from the demand drop model. This means build drop needs to now occur. I am 99% 4ACO-02 is already completed from an infrastructure build perspective hence why your are not seeing any work, its been completed. You can spot the FDH throughout the suburb, its just waiting on the final piece of build drop to be completed for it to be made RFS.

My friend on Sandage Rd Boondall, received today a note from Sinclar in regards to construction work.
Thanks Mundza,
OK make sense. I think my wife said that she has seen people pulling green cables in our estate. We still don't have a connection to our house though.
Is that something they will do when the 'area' is going live?
Jh

Same for 4ACO-01. All the cabinets are in place for FTTP.
We are in a set of 4 units and they arrived today and installed access conduits and "wires" to each unit. It will be an external box over the door in each of the units. When completed I will post a picture.
They were here last week and installed a draw rope from the street to the main distribution box downstairs.
Saw some pit-remediation works on at least 4 pits on Gympie St, Northgate (4NDG-06).

That we had to sign to give permission for access to the property.
That it would cost no money for the install to the door.
That we did not have to be present.
That letters would be sent when we could connect.
That it may be several MONTHS after cable installation.
That we would then have to contact our preferred ISP.

Would also like to know this. It's been pushed back a lot.
Supposed to be 'groundworks underway'. been that way for what, 3 months or more, without seeing any activity in 4APL-05 ? Will we see any activity at all before year's end ?

Next week it will actually be 5 months in the green.
First spoke to Superior Broadband service guys doing pit remediation in 4Apl-05 on the 21st of March, so that's 7 Months.
Given the far majority of 4APL modules either Active or Under Construction, its astounding at how little information there is regarding the progress of 05 & 09. Calling NBNCO did absolutely nothing, gave me a load of fluff!
The wait continues!
ahh the great transparency wars. Wish it was not like this, but sadly it is. Now people hope with no answer if they will get fibre in the Inner North Brisbane, yet I have cable to my property and in all likelihood, will be stuck on that for some time... If NBN gets cable, i hope they can push its upload speed more since 2mbit is pitiful for web development, etc.
Fingers crossed more comes to light. Or an election is called early.
4APL-10 � This afternoon there was a bloke working with cable at the FDH on Muller Rd � Zillmere end.
Given the far majority of 4APL modules either Active or Under Construction, its astounding at how little information there is regarding the progress of 05 & 09. Calling NBNCO did absolutely nothing, gave me a load of fluff!
Yeah I've been thinking that for a while now. Especially 09 has a large % townhouses and a number of them (at least where I live so I assume others too) have those connected to HFC. I've got a HFC port but won't pay Telstra cable prices for internet and use naked ADSL/voip instead so NBN fibre / HFC can't come soon enough. I'm a damn long way from the exchange ... The wait is so much more painful when I see so much work going on so close by. Hanging out for Telstra renegotiation now really to get a clearer picture I think.
edit: nevermind, not build commenced...
Indeed a lot of townhouses and alot of Telstra HFC's.
The far Majority of residencies in 4APL-09 are more than 3kms away from the Zillmere Exchange, and new people find even getting DSL internet here a challenge because a new DSLAM (port) is painful to get as there is a waiting list a mile long. (pardon the punt!)
Therefore FTTP is really the only option. I myself live 3.5 kms away from the exchange so I may have a good idea how you feel! Slooooowwww Speeds :(
That said, the remediation work underway suggests we are indeed getting FTTP. I would say the same for 4APL-05.
Also, don't blame you, not wanting to get cable internet. Telstra are so inept they don't know the meaning of the word Competition, Cable nor DSL.
A bunch of lime green cable was sitting on the footpath on corner Pioneer Street & Handford Rd Zillmere over the weekend.
Plenty of green fibre work down Church Rd and Roghan Rd in the last two weeks

Damn, it's less than 100m from my place ! :)

It is super frustrating they switched the deployment approach just as 4ACO was being completed. I've had green fibre sitting in the pit out the front of my house for about 2 � 3 months now and nothing can be done with it until they come and run a single cable 3 meters and some stuff at the end of it. Arrgh
They have even gone and changed up the activation order in terms of sites within 4ACO, it was 4ACO-02 then 4ACO-01, then 4ACO-03 now that order is reversed making my wait longer. Honestly it's like one man and his retarded dog is building this thing with how long it's taking.
it was 4ACO-02 then 4ACO-01, then 4ACO-03 now that order is reversed
Do you mean it will be 03, 01 then 02?
Interested to know if you have chosen an ISP. Telstra say I have to have a "gateway" modem, only one IP address and it will be dynamic. I have 2 at present on their cable service.
2 x Thiess utes and a couple of Van's for a electrically mob having a meeting in front of 4APL-06-06 FDH, Later the sparky's were still there going into peoples yards. Possible measuring up for lead in's ?

Corner of College and Frawley got a slab with a pipe sticking out next to existing rim. That was done yesterday. Today I saw few guys digging on the corner of College and Eton in Boondall.

I received an advertising flyer in the mail yesterday from Harbour ISP saying "Stay connected your old copper cables are due to be disconnected shortly". I'm in 4APL-05 so its jumping the gun a bit as they arent even rolling out the fibre yet because we are still in remediation apparently, as we have been for nearly 8 months. This whole rollout is an absolute joke.
as we have been for nearly 8 months. This whole rollout is an absolute joke.
I think we've been in construction for a couple of years now. lol
"Stay connected your old copper cables are due to be disconnected shortly"
iiNet has been doing similar marketing on TV. It's based on scaring the ignorant (i.e. people who don't know as much as us) into contacting them. They will be told something like, "The service isn't available in your area yet but we can contact you as soon as it is." The caller would then hand over their contact details, thus allowing the company to direct market them without violating the "Do not call" register.
At least by targeting areas like 4APL, they're a bit closer to the actual roll-out. The blanket marketing by iiNet is a bit over the top.
Lots of action around home today. John Scates electrical contractors and Thiess guys out and about. Had a chat. They are running fibre lead in's to the house PCD's in Balacara Ave and scoping out runs for house's in the Allira Cres loop. My house is a hard one for them. I'm on a corner with my frontage not my council address. They showed me there maps and I sort of show up twice. They said allira cres area will be done over the next 2 weeks.
Seize : Your house numbers are #2 and #4? I think you live in my street. :D They were finishing off on my house Fri afternoon but have to come back today to dig up my yard as they couldn't get the cable through. I told them to rip up as much as they wanted. :D
looking less and less likely we will ever see FTTP in 4ndg-06. The latest news
The multi-technology principles mean that most households and businesses:
already served by the Optus or Telstra Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) cable networks, will receive fast broadband over an upgraded HFC network;
where the NBN fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) network has been deployed or is in advanced stages of being built, will remain part of the FTTP rollout; and,
where the NBN fixed wireless or satellite networks are earmarked for deployment, will remain part of the Fixed Wireless or Satellite rollout.
All other communities are likely to receive fast broadband over fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) and, in the case of multi-dwelling units such as apartment blocks, fibre-to-the-basement (FTTB).
Sigh!

Fibre lead in installed today. 4APL-06. No PCD yet. They used existing conduit that has foxtel and telephone cable. Wonder how long after PCD is installed can a service be ordered ?
Saw NBN utes in 4APL-09 this afternoon. Just before the Taigum Primary School on Handford Rd.
Does anyone what the latest is with 4ndg-05?

Do you live near the train station? During remediation and cabinet installations they seemed to work roughly from train station and outwards. I heard mentioned in this thread that people have gotten a notice in the mail that the PCD will be installed soon, but I didn't get any such notice nor have I seen any installations yet. I live towards the other side and I'm just curious and eager :)
The area isn't scheduled to go Ready For Service until October 2015 though, which I believe is when a service can be ordered (although I'm not entirely sure on the exact procedure, so would be great if someone could clarify).
http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4APL-06
4APL-09 is now "Build commenced"!
Would this still be fiber, or HFC?
4NDG-06 is also now Build Preparation (Green).
Do you live near the train station?
I'm in the Balcara Ave area Dorville Road End. Be very strange if it takes until Oct 2015 before a service can be ordered.
Let's hope for fiber. Every time it rains I go back to 1992 dialup speeds.

Count yourself lucky, Asher.
With how lousy the condition of the wiring is in the pit outside my place, when it rains the connection varies between year 1792 connection speed and year 1992 BBS connection speed.

4APL-05 still in build prep? What is going on here, I see now it shows Brendale (which borders 4APL-05), which is getting FTTN. I am getting worried that 4APL-05 is going to get shafted with some lesser technology, especially since I am practically right on the border between the two :(:(:(
NBN contractors were laying green cable at the corner of College Way and Frensham Cresent this morning in Boondall.
4APL-05 still in build prep? What is going on here, I see now it shows Brendale (which borders 4APL-05),
I emailed NBNCo and asked them why 4APL-05 is still in build prep and has been bypassed for 4APL-06,07,08,10 and now 09 when after speaking to contractors in 06, they can't figure out what's going on either. NBN reply was that 4APL-05 is still in build prep phase, what a load of crap, Superior Broadband were replacing pits nearly 8 months ago so remediation must be finished. I still think the physical size of 4APL-05 which is two to three times larger than the other areas is the problem. They need to install a lot more fibre to pass the roughly 2300 homes in the area because of all the acreage properties in Bridgeman Downs. I wonder if its worth trying to get as many 4APL-05 residents to complain to NBN (and possibly there federal member) to get them to pull their finger out and get it built.
From what I've understood she will be getting FTTN? I'm not sure how I can confirm FTTN or FTTP. Rollout map doesn't seem to tell me anything.
From what I understand, 4APL will be completed as FTTH. It's only new areas such as Morayfield that will be FTTN. (This was announced a few weeks ago as one of the "first" areas to get FTTN.)
(This basically reinforces what hochopeper said.)
No worries thanks guys, construction has commenced in her area, that's something we're both 100% on. She spoke to the guys installing the fibre in her street.
She's not able to tell me any more about cabinets etc though. I'll get her to call NBNco and start asking questions?
I'll get her to call NBNco and start asking questions?
There's no rush. It'll be several months before installation is available and I'm sure we'll know for sure by then. :)
4NDG-06 is also now Build Preparation (Green).
They have been doing pit remediation work for a while now in 4ndg-06. They did a few in our street then nothing since. I guess there is still hope yet.
S
4APL-08. FWIW, I just had a chat to a traffic controller on Cardinal St., Boondall and they are running conduit to pass fibre through and putting in another cabinet. The fibre will be laid very soon after, but they jump from one area to another and back again and have just moved up from working in College Way and thereabouts.
Still a while to go, but it's hard not to start getting a bit excited. :-)
All of APL will, I think, be FTTH even if it hasn't turned brown on the map yet. It's not part of the trial area and is too far along to be 'noded.'
Edit: wrong street...
saw what looked to be a fibre splicing van on Racecourse road Ascot yesterday. actually saw quite a bit of activity in that and nearby streets but that was the one im most sure of being actual NBN activity.
Theres been a lot of pit rectification & fibre install works going on at the Beams Rd end of Church Rd in Taigum/Zillmere, which begs the question � why did this area skip the rectification phase?
What's the guestimate for how long to get connected after "build commenced "(4APL09)

I think 07 had the same move applied, though I can't remember if 07 was Nov or Oct 2015, still a big jump!

From October to April. Good stuff. Hopefully they can stick to the new estimate.
