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.

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.

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 :(

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

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? I've got room for it but I still don't want it. I can see this going badly.
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've had my lawn literally torn up for the conduit run, no asking, they just did it mind you. Not long to go now.

Jeezus they can rip up the lawn as much as they want. It grows back. Fibre is rare!
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.

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

Not one. He asked me where I want it and was happy to do it. My guy was awesome!

If you get the same guy then no, not an issue.
Mine was run to the other side of house as well, no problems.
Am connected now. Will do some speed tests and push some traffic and see how she holds up, its quite fast from the quick run I gave it this morning. :D

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.

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?

It's definitely Doomben Racecourse.

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)

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!

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.
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.
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

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!

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.

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?

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).

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

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.

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!

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).

Would this still be fiber, or HFC?

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?

There's no rush. It'll be several months before installation is available and I'm sure we'll know for sure by then. :)

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.

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?

It does mention Aspley as a suburb that is getting fibre. But what happened to Taigum etc? Are they counted under Aspley? Well that's hard to figure because in the entry for Aspley the number of premises is given as 2,000 so that can't be.
What gives?
It's the Aspley FSA so you're ok ;)
Boondal and Taigum are part of 4APL-08, 09 and 10 all listed as Build Commenced Brownfields fibre.

Green fibre being installed near Boondall police station this mornings. Also looks like the beige boxes on Muller Rd towards Zillmere Rd end.
My wife told me yesterday there were Ditch Witches and white conduit being run on Handford Road just north of the Taigum Primary School.
Went for a walk today in -08. A ditch witch is working on Aberdeen, another on Stanworth. Found 3 FDH cabinets, one by the G86 DA on College Way with a THIESS van parked doing work on the fibre coming out of the ground. Crews running fibre between pits along Holme Ave, with Telstra's equipment raised up and sitting on the grass while they worked. The other FDHs are Eton Ave at Holme Ave, and Eton Ave at Trinity Pl. Another THIESS van was working on fibre at Thoms Ave nr Concordia St
4APL
A couple of photos of what I think is remediation of pits in Taigum.

And this is a fairly new suburb? The copper is in a mess.
Newman Rd, Zillmere/Geebung there is green fibre going in near the train station in the industrial estate.

Odd. I wonder why? It's near an active area, but according to mynbn nothing is slated for build prep near the industrial area?

I thought the same thing � maybe its backhaul for 4APL-10? Seems an odd way to route it though when they could go straight down Zillmere Rd and under the train line?

They went under the southern end of zillmere station on Zillmere rd a few months ago (Edit: just looked it up and I posted about it in this thread back in August) I'm pretty sure. I was catching the train and it looked like cable pulling gear was on both sides of the station and then running up around the corner on Handford Rd in the days after that.
There is currently a large figure 8 of lime green fibre sitting on the corner of Robinson Rd & Newman Rd � still no idea where its going.

Dunno about Bridgeman downs, but on my way to work this morning there was a lot of work being done on Roghan Road between Church Road and Muller Road (Boondall area) � diggers ripping up the footpath and a nearby cable truck with plenty of lime green cable.
At least Roghan road on the east side of the highway has nbn being built :-)
Another map update and 4APL-05 still in build prep (what's that, 8 months officially, and 2 years unofficially?), would love to know what the hold up is here.

been like that for over a year so good chance they start next week!! :D
To keep thread alive: have seen NBN guys lying green cable into the ground at Eton Ave. and Holve Ave. intersection this morning.
I wonder how long before they start installing devices...
Cable going in yesterday on Roscommon Rd opposite Boondall S.S. FDH's popping up all over...
4NDG-06 � looks like the guys have been doing pit work on Flower Street Northgate.
Hope to see green cable in a couple of months!
4NDG-06 � looks like the guys have been doing pit work on Flower Street Northgate.
Pit work in Northgate for the past 2 months now... and we are officially green on the map :)
4NDG-06 � Northgate
What's interesting is that Northgate 4013 (4NDG-06) is listed in this document as Brownfields � Fibre.
http://www.nbnco.com.a
But is not listed here in the Multi-Technology Rollout plan:
http://www.nbnco.com.au
Hoping this means that 4NDG-06 still gets FTTP like the surrounding area, even though I'm pretty sure there is both Optus and Telstra Cable boxes on the side of my house (which I do not use).
Well at least we are green on the map and something has started in our area, even if it is only cleaning up the pits and removing any asbestos, which given the age of the suburb is probably causing a few problems for the pit remediation teams.
I've seen the pits on Flower Street done in the last month.
Hoping this means that 4NDG-06 still gets FTTP like the surrounding area
Since rollout has started (and contracts signed) I can almost guarantee that you will be getting FTTP. The recent document release has stated "reducing network complexity" which says to me that areas that already have started FTTP rollout will continue to get it, ie 4APL & 4NDG service areas. At least I hope that's the case since I'm in APL but will believe it when its installed to my house...

Looks like another deadline missed. No ready for services for 4ACO-01.
To be honest this build drop is a load of crap. I have had fibre sitting in the pit out the front of my house for 3 months, waiting for this build drop to occur. This is a absolute joke how long these contractors are taking to do this.

I'm hearing you Mundza, exact same here. Unfortunately not surprised after seeing the install in the building here, the quoted one week operation took four, which really should have been 2 days tops. My take on it, is to take as long as wanted to ride that open cheque book from the government/taxpayer.....ie Y2K all over again = GOLD mine
NBN pulled green cable along Church Rd, Taigum, between beams rd and roghan rd and the northern part of Church Rd, a couple of days ago.
Another cabinet is getting installed on the corner of Leeson St/Northumbria Rd.
If only they were getting paid per connection, instead of, as it apparently is, per hour.
ASPY-07 � Fitzgibbon here. Received a letter in the mail today that NBNCo has planned to install the utility box between Feb 4 -Apr 30.
Has anyone see activity in the 4ACO region ? I've seriously had a fibre connection sitting in the pit out the front of my house since september 2014 yet we are still not RFS. I know they were shifting to build drop from last year and they were doing installations in 4ACO-01 around december but it looks like its just dead now.

I'm in 4ACO-1. I received a Notice of Installation from NBN Co late last year stating that my PCD would be installed between 22 December 2014 and 19 March 2015! A gentleman from NBN Co was walking around the local streets maybe 17 December checking all of the pit locations. I asked him what was happening and got the same answer regarding installation. I've tried to find out more information but NBN can't tell me anything more. I haven't seen anyone around recently in 4ACO-1 but did see an NBN vehicle in 4ACO-3 last week. I'm hoping I don't need to wait until March for it to go RFS.
i think we will, sadly. ive had a grey premises connection box on my outside wall since august last year (see p.61) and all thats been needed is to do the internal install and flick the switch on the fibre.
if i understand rightly, a service area now needs to have something in the order of ~30% of premises with grey box installed before they'll light it up, do internal installs and start serving ... even if all the streets have the fibre laid down them and are ready to accept that work.
i dont know who to blame for the change, rightly, and i suspect its a post election decision � but it annoys me greatly and seems designed to hold up connections rather than encourage takeup and earning revenues. if the fibre is laid, you have grey box and can proceed to install the CPE equipment then it should be done rather than waiting for some artificial trigger to finish the work. absolutely would love this aspect of things changed.
I received my install notice for the PCD. Its between 9 Feb and 5 May. With a bit of luck i'll be connected by June. 4ACO-02 region
Looked to be some PCD installation action at the Windermere Rd end of Kitchener Road this morning. Slim Green Fiber on the footpath and a couple of guys working. This is 4ACO-01.
Just got a call from Telstra telling me that NBN's will be available in my area 'soon' and to sign up on a 24month contract for a discount. Anyone else get this in 4APL-05?
Looks like 4ACO-01 has gone RFS. Devoted NBN has a webpage that directly queries the NBN Portal. Its showing my address as available and have placed an order with my ISP who also confirmed it was ready to go.
Which ISP is taking orders for 4ACO-02
No one is taking orders for 4ACO-02...yet The install notice is a letter from NBN co stating that they will be installing the PCD (grey box on the outside of your house) so that it will be ready when you do ask for it to be installed. This something new that is happening in areas that have Fiber runs after October 2014. They intend to have 30-50% of houses ready to go with PCDs installed by the time the fiber is lit up. The intention is to reduce delays with installs and also minimise the number of people who aren't able to have fiber installed for various reasons eg blockage in the conduit etc.

My bad thinking of NTD. We have had our PCD since October (4ACO-01).
Who did you go with if you don't mind telling?
I'm going with Internode. Have been using them for years and while they cost more than others I have had good service and no problems. I have some routed IP ranges etc that I want to keep when I move over to the NBN to minimise stuffing around with DNS etc so there are other factors apart from cost.
Anyone else get this in 4APL-05?
no
seen no activity around here for a loooong time

4ACO-01 is now active on the myNBN site
Hi,
Our estate in 4ACO-2 had fibre �pulled� in oct-nov. We have not seen or heard anything from NBN since.
Haven�t seen any action around 4ACO-2 since then either.
When driving to work end of last year (nov-dec) it was a fair bit of work going on around Hipwood Rd Ascot

I'm with Telstra in APL05 and have not heard from them yet about NBN
iinet took my order today � 4ACO-01
Gave me an install date of next Friday

Mine is Feb 6 due to the lack of a PCD on the wall at the moment.
I'm in 4ACO-01 and getting no love from TPG due to the official NBN site saying is still not active
Some time back, people in 4APL-06 got notice of upcoming PCD installations. From what I heard, this was only near the train station (Balcara or thereabouts). Anyone further from the train station got any notices yet? It's possible we got it and threw it out, but I don't think so.
Also, just noticed that the RFS date has recently been updated to include the December estimate. Only 5 days delay though, so all good still :)

I just put in my address into Devoted NBN and it came up as "MTM" (code for fttn) coming soon. Im in 4APL-09, and as far as I know all 4APL is getting FTTH.

4APL-02: Robinson Rd and Murphy Rd (Cnr) near the Matilda Servo. Heaps of green fibre going into the pits and pits open and fibre brought out and re-fed along Robinson Rd.
Not really sure why this is as the area has been active for a while. Maybe part of the SC0 cleanup?

Another interesting thing, it appears that they are remediating the pits along Robinson Rd near Newman Rd and Bilsen Rd (Geebung industrial area). Rope and yellow rods going into pits there by Telstra contractors. Not sure if NBN related.
What is interesting is this area was never on the old Labour plans, potentially the elusive 4APL-11 and 4APL-12 that would complete the 12 FSAMs as per: http://www.mynbn.info/fsa/4APL
Rodding and roping (top left, zoom in): http://imgur.com/c5ZBg7p
I have seen NBNCo vehicles along Newman road fairly recently, but with nothing ever showing up on their website, I was a little confused as to what it could have been for... maybe work to link the Zillmere exchange to either the Aspley or Ascot POI.
Never noticed on the myNBN website that they had 12 FSAMs listed as planned for 4APL. I'm hoping that this area "might" go FTTP, but given it is largely business, with some houses near the Zillmere exchange, and the current government "ideological" plan for FTTN, I expect that both my workplace, in Geebung, and my house, near the Exchange, will be FTTN...

I'm in this area too and after reading the latest NBNCo docs regarding MTM, they mentioned they will be trying to reduce network complexity � which says to me that they will continue FTTP in the entire 4APL area. I'll believe it once its connected to my house though....

OK 4ACO-01 now available yet being in a unit block requires more work/time. ...... seriously, what's there to do now?
seriously, what's there to do now?
We are in a unit block in 4ACO-01 and the PCD was installed by a company called Daly International in Spring Hill. We registered with them over 12 months ago and they had to prepare design plans for our unit block and they installed the PCD last October. I phoned them a few times and they were very helpful.

A friend of mine lives on Burilda Street in Hendra and said he had a PCD installed a few days ago. The installer also told him he could order services however i know this to be correct as the area is not yet active. Go figure installer didn't even know what's going on.
I wish they would just make it ready for service so I can order something,
Can someone in 4APL-06 please comment on the status of the PCD rollout?
I have not seen any work yet, nor have I gotten a flyer in the mail (unless it's been thrown out with junkmail) and we are supposedly RFS in a month and a half. It seems that they started installing these from the train station and outwards though, and I'm on the other side, so maybe there has been more progress than I've seen.
My prediction is that the RFS date will unfortunately jump back to what it was earlier (sep-dec), but I'm hoping I'm wrong and that there's an abundance of PCDs being installed while I'm at work and that I'm just not seeing it because it's not in my vicinity.
Any observations from someone else in this area would be great.

Rang NBN to see what the delay is and they have NO EXPLANATION why. The Unit complex was wired and completed 6 months ago. I got no name of the company that did the install and just line of many months before its available''. Staggering to say the least........
Nice new box on Muller Rd Boondall, opposite Tupia St. They pulled the fibre through yesterday.
Can someone in 4APL-06 please comment on the status of the PCD rollout?
I'm in 4APL-06. Mine got done before x-mas. Walking the dog around the area I see in Beams Rd across from the old TAFE and streets just behind, they seem to be putting in new narrow trenches for the hard to do house feeds. Using high pressure water and vacum trucks.
I got the letter saying I have the NBN utility box and will get another letter saying when I can connect. Thats been it. No contact since then. No NTD. So some small progress around the traps.

You will not get an NTD until you sign up with an ISP.
Here is how it should happen.
1 Your area goes RFS (ready for service)
2 You should have a PCD by then (Box on the out side of the House, Premise Connection Device))
3 Sign up with an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
4 ISP will the notify NBN that you need an NTD (Network Termination Device)
5 NBN (a contractor to NBN) will install the NBN in your home where you desire (more or less)
6 You are alive and finished
They are now at the end of Robinson Rd, near Geebung train station. Large thick snake going into a pit.
Not an area on the map, but my guess is it's backhaul for somewhere...
We're on Manson Road. On Tue arvo a mysterious pink dot was spray painted on ground near meter box. On Wed installers arrived when I was out and told daughter they were putting in a PCD.
Luckily for us they managed to pull or push fibre through the existing Telstra conduit (which terminated near the pink dot). so we had a small disturbance about .3m x .5 m. Couldn't do that next door and they had to trench right up the garden to the house.
Was a bit worried they had disturbed the house electrical earth, but they had only hidden the one I was used to seeing � got a fairly prompt response by the installation supervisor who got the installers back on site, and was messaged photos as they worked.
any one know if any yet has happened with 4APL-05
I heard some people in the general Bridgeman downs area near Rohan Rd have seen NBN trucks.

I'm at 4mbps myself and it doesn't really work well with 4 moderate � heavy users in the house. 1 youtube stream pretty much takes all the bandwidth. I wish I could use 4g but I need at least 300gb. Was hoping NBN will be done by July here but that doesn't seem likely.

I think there was a guy in this thread that said Telstra told him that it would be soon or something indicating this year for the area. No one appears to have verified this info though.

That was me haha, neighbour got that call as well but haven't heard anything since unfortunately.
I was thinking about this yesterday whilst doing some work outside, if you look at 4APL05 half is a cemetery with no customers and large expensive houses which will cost a fair bit to connect and the other half is standard residential.
I sent an email to NBNCO today asking them to think about splitting 4APL05 into half and doing the standard residential first whilst they work the other half out. (not expecting a result, but I feel better).
Just a question.
If NBN Address check at optus site shows that the unit has NBN connection, does that mean I can apply and they can definitely connect NBN?
usually* it's a good sign that you can connect.
*You might be unlucky thou, do any of the other units have NBN connected?

Probably 2-3 weeks. That says its ready to install but the internal installation hasn't been done. You need to book an appointment with your ISP for NBNCo to do the installation. Only they can give you an accurate lead time for the appointment. I booked mine on 16 Jan and had it installed last Friday. Be aware that you will need landlord permission to install if you are renting.

Does the installation time differs from one isp to another? Also did they book an appointment or do they just ring you and say that they will come at xyz time? Also is landlord permission is asked by nbn co? If so is it in a written form?

Probably time for you to make a few phone calls. I don't have all the answers. The ISPs all have to request the NBNCo to do the installation so I suspect they will all have access to the same appointment slots and therefore there won't be any difference in lead time. When you request a connection from your ISP they will give you an appointment time. For my appointment I was told to expect the installers between 8am and 12pm on the day.
Most landlords in rental properties I have dealt with don't like their tenants making modifications to their properties. The NBN installers are going to add a box on the outside of the dwelling and then run fibre to a box inside the property which will be mounted on a wall somewhere. Unless you want to put your bond at risk I'd be asking their permission. I don't know what NBNCo will want to see prior to installation in terms of permission. If you are in a unit complex you may also need to have a discussion with the Body Corporate to see what other requirements you may need to comply with.
I live in a house and can't help you with those issues. Have a look at the NBNCo website. There is some information there for renters.
Beams Rd Carseldine & Zillmere Rd Zillmere (Boondall side) are getting more trunk cable installed today.
More trunk cable going in this morning outside the driving range on beams rd taigum
Do they still have to provide PCD to 90% of houses in an area before RFS is announced, or did I misunderstand that? I'm just looking at my area, and the January estimate was just added, which kept the same date as previous update (20th of March).
http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4APL-06
That we will be RFS in a month seems however HIGHLY unlikely in my opinion, although I hope I'm wrong. Does anyone know how these estimates are calculated? Are they automatically generated based on the number of households passed vs left, or is there a more manual guesstimate factor involved?

Nice to see 4ACO-02 moved into testing and activation phase on myNBN. Can't be too long now. My NBN cabinet has been lonely with no NBN :-)
That is good to hear � but we still haven't had any activity in or around our estate.

Green fibre in a couple of figure-8s on Handford Road between Beams Road and Taigum SS. It has been there for a couple of days.
That is good to hear � but we still haven't had any activity in or around our estate.
Remember its a certain % of the leadin work 60% I believe must be done before the area goes RFS. Meaning you might not have a fibre connection brought to your house before it is RFS.
OK � fibre has been installed in our estate but has yet to be pulled/installed to our houses.
OK � fibre has been installed in our estate but has yet to be pulled/installed to our houses.
So they have just run it to the pits within your estate then? If yes that is the stage most people are at in 4ACO-02 unless they have had the PCD installed already. As i mentioned it could go RFS before your PCD is installed. If that is the case the PCD install is part of your booking.
yes the fiber has been installed in/between the pits but not to the houses.
Sorry � just getting very Impatient :)
Another map update, another month where 4APL-05 stays in build prep. What's that, 3 years now, longest build prep ever, has it just been forgotten?
If that is the case the PCD install is part of your booking.
I can confirm that if you can order a service and the PCD is not installed then they may install PCD and NCD on the same day. This happened to friend in 4ACO-03 last week and he was alive that night.
Telstra was the ISP. The new phone worked as well and he was informed that his copper line phone would stop working in 7 days.

I really hope they start doing something about it this year.
there was even a guy on this Forum that said Telstra said its coming soon to this location what ever that means
Finally some more activity in 4APL-05 with large reels of green fibre cable being fed into the pits on the corner of Zillmere & Gympie Rds today (outside Grand Prix Mazda Used Cars). I think the Graham Rd side of Gympie Rd has been cabled, just waiting on finishing a few blocks yet to be done.
4APL-07 is having fibre pulled to the houses and PCDs installed on the walls.
The nbn crew have been moving house to house for the past week or so.

there is bugger all status updates on the website
I got a real person response today from NBNco, once remediation is complete they will look at splitting 4APL05 into acreage and residential. This will help speed up the process.
No idea when......

Wtf I thought they would have completed remediation by now. It's been like what, nearly 3 years now?

Isn't that part of 4APL-O1?
I suspect this might be backhaul for the 4APL-08/09/10 work, given the POI is in Aspley somewhere.
When I left this morning there were some workers from Q�.. (can�t remember the name but it started with Q) going through the pits in our estate.

Whats the bet on it getting done for 05 this year? like seriously its a new estate and they put phone lines in WTF?

Will take a miracle to get it done this year I think.
So we are in 4ACO-02
And just noticed a few days ago that I now have a PCD installed outside our house.
So looks like the March 15th RFS date must be pretty accurate for this area.
NBNco were installing the PCD on the side of my house this morning (4ACO-02) region. Happy days, I will post pic's of the install tonight.
Fibre getting ready to be laid beside the bustop in front of Aldi on Roghan/Handford Rd earlier this afternoon.
I sent an email to the body corp. manager asking about the NBN guys working in the estate.
He said they were taking the fibre to the external point on our individual properties.
He also mentioned �Each home will need to get the fibre from the external connection on the property to the use area internally. Naturally this will be a personal expense.�
WTF??!!

The onsite caretaker in our complex said something similar to me at a body corp meeting ... I dont believe him though.
He also said he'd been told they would use existing conduits throughout.
In the complex I live in there are mostly 4unit buildings and currently mdu at one end of each building.
So it is physically impossible to use existing conduits and connect to each property.
After talking to him a bit more I think its a misunderstanding that has probably resulted from him not understanding that it is a different contractor that does the install internally to the unit and the contractor putting cable in the ground would say something like 'thats not in our scope' and hes inferred something else from it without understanding the NBN process.

Mine went on yesterday.. Yay I guess??
Now what?
NBNco were installing the PCD on the side of my house this morning (4ACO-02) region. Happy days, I will post pic's of the install tonight.
Today nbn came and did the in premises installation. However there is no signal in outside box. Does anyone know how long that takes to be installed?
It was a lot of activity on Gerler Rd this morning.
There was even a NBN co sign
J
Any idea when 4APL-06 is live? The box was already installed a month ago.
any updates on 4APL-05 lately? anyone seen trucks on Rohan rd yet?
4APL-05 � Noticed a new bigger Telstra pit on Nemira St Carseldine, earlier this week.
VisionStream have been replacing pits in our street ( Arnica Cres Bald Hills) on behalf of Telstra, apparently they had asbestos in them. We have cable in our estate so hopefully they are getting ready for the NBN.
Hi Guys,
Had an interesting conversation with the Thiess NBN installer who was rolling out Fiber on Church Road, Taigum today.
As part of the conversation, I asked him if 4APL-09 is on target for OCT activation. He then showed me the rollout network map in detail, and is adamant 4APL-09 will be ready (active) by May-June this year.
Interesting, thoughts :)

did it happen to show anything about 4APL-05 being completed this year?

Awesome, top job!
Saw these guys working this morning. Green cable from pits into weird metal cylinder contraptions.
I always make sure to wave to them like a happy retard when driving past.
Interesting, thoughts :)
Yeah Ive been trying to not get my hopes up but with the other areas on Northside mostly going RFS in next few months, October seems a bit late given the progress of late. But I keep looking at all those townhouses thinking they'll cause delays when things get to connecting homes.
We'll see. Hope I'll be pleasantly surprised!
BAM! Checked just then and we're live! Placed my order.
gogo 4APL-06...

Ahead of the forecast activation date of 20th March. That is almost unheard of. I wish this would happen for 4ACO-02 :-) Its forecast activation date is 13 March.

Other than mynbn.info where is the best place to 'check'?

So of the individual providers service qualification checks work. I think devotedNBN is one. But honestly the date is up in the cloud somewhere. We all know its there just don't know where it is.

I looked more closely and on the Telstra documents (http://www.telstrawholesale.
Other than mynbn.info where is the best place to 'check'?
I used mynbn.info, hopped straight on to the iinet website and everything was accepted. So I'd try any of the providers websites if you wanted to check.
I looked more closely and on the Telstra documents (http://www.telstrawholesale.
The Telstra documents don't actually specify any RFS dates. They specify when ADSL services will no longer be sold. As an example, 4APL-06 is listed on the Telstra docs with a date of 7/04/2015, but all indications today, from Whirlpool members here, and mynbn.info, show that 4APL-06 has gone RFS. I also believe, from memory, that there were NBNCo docs that stated the RFS dates, before NBNCo pulled them from "prying eyes", which jxeeno used as his RFS date basis. It is possible that 4APL-09 could go RFS in Oct, but it is also possible that the date could be shifted either forward or backward. Hopefully for all the people in 4APL-09, the Theiss guy is right, but I think he may be a bit off... (only because of how slow NBNCo seems to be... look at 4APL-05...)
opefully for all the people in 4APL-09, the Theiss guy is right, but I think he may be a bit off... (only because of how slow NBNCo seems to be... look at 4APL-05...)
never going to happy NBN in 4APL-05 people much be against it in this area thats why they are avoiding it wouldn't surprise me alot of old farts much live here because they seem to be fine with crapy internet speeds annoys the hell out of me.
might just move in 2 years if they don't have it by then.
The Telstra documents don't actually specify any RFS dates.
The last 3 pages of NBN Co rollout and Disconnection Dates list shows an expected RFS date for areas that are presumably under construction. These mostly line up with what is on mynbn site. (not all though)
4APL-09 is listed TBA ... other areas in 4APL have expected RFS dates.
Looking now at 4APL-06 and 07 and 10 they seem to have a roughly 9 � 10month period between construction commenced and RFS.
Hopefully 4APL-08 and 4APL-09 get their RFS date bought forward to line up with that 9 � 10month build period. At the moment those 2 still seem to suggest 12month build period on mynbn.
Hopefully 4APL-05 gets its build commenced status soon, no idea what the delay is on that area but there is seemingly positive signs from the progress in 06 and the story from the Theiss dude, I think he's a bit keen saying May/June ... more likely July/August though perhaps??

I think I know what they are waiting for
there is going to be a large development that is going to happen pretty soon, the farm with that land has been sold recently I think they are waiting till they develop that land so they can lay down fibre at the same time maybe I could be wrong but its a very large piece of land you could fit maybe 20 or 30 houses on it.

I don't think so, most likely just a resource scheduling thing and not enough contractors to do all areas at same time. Hopefully as other areas move on to different stages of the build the crews doing that work will move to 4APL-05.
There are two residential developments inside 4APL-09 area. One has been RFS for a while (commissioned in stages). The other is new and just shows as an island of build prep inside the build commenced area for 4APL-09.
After close to 3 months on ACO3's RFS, 4 attempts in getting the NTD installation, 3 separate orders and modems from the same RSP (Optus), estimated total of 18 hours of phone calls to the sales, technical support, NBN activation team, NBNCo team etc, 1 email � finally got onto NBN FTTP. If it takes someone like me who I describe as midlling tech-savvy-enough to code FORTRAN, to go through the whole archaic process of getting the fibre after the RFS date, from the PCD to my property which is classified as an MDU, oscillating between service class 2 and service class 0, what hope have we with grey haired folks who think they need to buy electronic stamps to send emails ? Well, hopefully now I can use decent enough broadband bandwidth to develop telepresence-training solutions so that I can spend more time with my family and not 4 weeks a month away with the other high vis orange shirts in some hole near Karratha. I now propose that that in 15 years we hit the geriatrics and ignorant Luddites who voted the current Government in, with a Stupid Tax, to pay for the lost opportunity in developing generations of a smarter, more globally competitive and less polluting Australia. It does not take much to calculate the cost impact of building a third rate patch up FTTB/FTTN/MTM solution compared to FTTP � just shows how incredibly stupid average Australians are in mathematics. Anyway, North Brisbane should thank you Wayne Swan (not deodorant loving Theresa Gambaro) for putting it ahead of the list.

Omg, I completely missed this! Will call iinet first thing in the morning to upgrade ADSL to nbn.
I don't have any pcd yet, will they send someone to install that and ntd at the same time, or will I have to make multiple appointments?
Edit: I signed up to their nbn watch thing, thinking I'll get an email or a call the second we are live, but I guess not. I was so certain it would be delayed that I didn't even entertain the idea that it could be early (or I would have kept a closer look!)

I signed up to their NBN watch as well and didn't get squat. I just managed to stumble across it last week. Quite happy. Now the waiting game begins though. I hope the NBN installers are nicer than the Telstra/Bigpond ones. I have a double-brick home so the install was *too hard*. So they left me a roll of cable and I ran it myself to where I wanted it. :/
I should ring NBN Co I think maybe they have some info on 4apl-05
It just seems like everything is happening around 4apl-05 and 4apl-05 is the dead zone or something there must be a reason why they are avoiding that area.
I should ring NBN Co I think maybe they have some info on 4apl-05
Lol wouldn't bother. They don't have much info on it. I personally think it is because of a contractor shortage, they're trying to get the easier areas out of the way first before getting to ours. Hopefully now that 06 is active we should see works start.
rs. Hopefully now that 06 is active we should see works start.
they obviously are not doing sites in numeric order either either that or they can't count to 5.
Now the waiting game begins though
Earliest day available when I called was 25th of March. Not sure if I could have shaved off a few days if I had realised and ordered it last week instead of this morning :)
I was surprised they had a $79 activation fee though, seems a bit unnecessary since I'm already signed up with them on a contract and I'm just switching from DSL to a (more expensive) NBN plan. I was under the impression that it would be the same as if I changed my DSL plan, ie upgrades are free and downgrades might have fees. Oh well, not a huge deal, just found it weird.
I'm in 4APL-06 and had my PCD since November. Last week devotednbn said I could order but not Optus. Today Optus site says I can connect.
Those in 4APL-05. A little birdy claimed the contract was signed to build last late November. So I don't know why it's taking soooo long to be build commenced. Maybe the birdy was wrong.

I don't know but could it be the development of new land that they are clearing in 4APL-05?
they are clearning tonnes of land near Aldi

Can anyone advise please what to do in situation like this.
I have NTD box installed in brand new apartments, green light on Optical and building shows as A for available on NBNCo map but address can't be looked up and Location ID is unknown. It's bouncing between Optus and NBN with first asking to get Location ID from NBN and second saying then can't do it because of privacy policy and the fact that they can't find my address.
Hi Guys,
4APL-09: NBN Crews today working on Church Rd (Other Side of Roghan Rd), Songbird St, and Murson St.
Lets hope what the Installer said was true.
Hi Kung Fu Man,
Sorry mate, he didn't show me anything about 4APL-05. Its frustrating they haven't commenced in 05 yet. I don't understand why.
I sure hope NBN are not waiting to complete the other APL's first.
4APL-06 here, rang iiNet in the hopes we could get connected based on others feedback in the thread. They said they couldn't see it live in their system. Damn!
Will try again on March 20, which seems to be the advertised RFS date

4APL-09 �
there has been some work pulling cables inside townhouse complexes. Some additional conduit added in section of the one I live in just this week.
The contractors doing this work don't know much about how the process will go for connections to MDUs. Does anyone know how the 80% (I think thats the number?) threshold for before RFS for the area includes service class 0 premises or not?

woohoo... it wasnt registering for me before when Barty reported it but i see it now
moved out of aspley apr last year and have been on a ~3mbit or so 3g connect since. i am so jonesing for a real connection again..... 50/20 fibre vs anything wireless is absolutely no contest....
ar and have been on a ~3mbit or so 3g connect since. i am so jonesing for a real connection again..... 50/20 fibre vs anything wireless is absolutely no contest....
yeah I get the damn 3mbps here in Bridgeman downs but I get 4G wireless at 40mbps download and 40mbps upload its a sub for if I need fast speeds its also very expensive
Still waiting for NBN!!! I want my damn 100mbps/40mbps speeds!!
When I check my address on NBN it says it is not available yet
http://www.nbnco.com.au/conn
but when checking on internodes site I am all good
I am still trying to figure out how it will work in our estate and especially for us in townhouses�
Same for me, but TPG took my application :-)

I'm just down the road from the Carseldine train station and booked it today for the 26th of March.
I ordered NBN yesterday :) installation end of this month
I ordered NBN yesterday :) installation end of this month
Did you get an install date. The TPG rep said because of my service class (I have fibre installed to the house) that my install should be completed within 2 weeks, no date was provided for install.
Yep I got a date 31 of March :)
But I am not going to celebrate until this has happened though.
Being in an estate I am not sure how and where we can put the NTD..
But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel � (I just checked my speed on speedtest 0.45Mbps)
(I just checked my speed on speedtest 0.45Mbps)
Jeez, I thought I had bad speeds at 3mbps! Lucky you though, hopefully 4APL-05 follows suit soon :)
(I just checked my speed on speedtest 0.45Mbps)
yeah thats bloody dial up speeds!!
are you in 4APL-05 ?
Optus installtion confirmed for the 20th of March.
Hmm, I emailed TPG today and they said they are waiting for a tech to be available. It doesn't sound right to me but whatever. I'll give it a week then whinge if i don't have a date.
No � I am in 4ACO-02 but behind a very congested RIM
If I am lucky I can get speeds up to 1.5Mbps (like 2am in morning)
I actually got a SMS from Internode confirming the 'appointment'
4APL-05 still green after map update, what the eff is going on with this area?

yeah this is crap, I am moving away from the area maybe end of next to go to a NBN enabled area, I am sorry but NBN CO you FAIL at delivering.
4APL-05 still green after map update, what the eff is going on with this area?
4ACO-02 is still brown when the area is active too.
from memory the maps take a little time to update; i have been accepted by internode for fitment next week as well so there is no question the area is live.
i personally think the fault lies with the govt; there has been absolutely no interest in pursuing the legacy fttp build areas despite project Fox showing they can be built and online with alacrity. neither of the shareholder ministers are interested in those sorts of 'wins' and until that changes i think you can only expect things to stay at a dawdle. North Brisbane is very fortunate in the coverage of fttp it will ultimately have � but i agree, in the meantime the wait times are painful.

What does the above mean in layman's terms?
Will I be getting FTTP?

Should be, unless you're in any of the FTTN trial sites?
Did you get an install date? Who did you sign up with ?
iiNet. 24 march.. That's like next week or some crap!
Hardware install they say.. Not sure where it's going to go internally... Not too happy if its directly in from the external box..
If I knew what cable type was needed I'd run some fibre internally.. Silly me didn't put conduit to my IT shelf with NAS and router..
You get up to 40m of internal cabling for free, or you can pick somewhere else but you'll need to pay extra.
Is this 40M of cable on the floor or can you ask them to do it �neatly�?
We will most likely have an issue as well with where the intetnal box might be located in relation to the external box.3
Where did you find this information� I wouldn�t mind showing the �installer� when he comes out.
Thanks

Nor Kedron. I'm ~1 block (with a school) away from the Build Prep area of Wavell Heights. We're in a town house complex so no HFC either (several THs here have satellite), the surrounding blocks do though.
Where did you find this information�
Johk have a look here :
http://www.nbnco.com.au/conn
They install the PCD box on the outside of your house, and then run up to 40m of cable to a wall plate inside your house. A shorter cable runs from this wall plate up to the NTD, from which you run Cat5 from the UNI-D ports to your router. This info is all available on the NBNCo website
Windsor does not look like anytime soon ?
I don't think that the Windsor/Newmarket area will get FTTP. Most likely it'll be the HFC version of NBN in a few years.

I have an upstairs cupboard with Ethernet port... Not sure how Eger they would be running a snake down the middle of a brick veneer house from the second story.... Would be hidden at least.
Can't remember if I put power to the cupboard tho...
