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 ?

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!

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?

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.

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!

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 ?

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.

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.

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?

So now the nett effect of the changes to the dates is 0 after all??
Jun 2014 CI Issued, build commenced: 30 Jun '14
Jul 2014 Expected RFS date: Apr '15
Aug 2014 Expected RFS date: Sep '15 (delayed)
Sep 2014 Expected RFS date: Dec '15 (delayed)
Oct 2014 Expected RFS date: Oct '15 (brought forward)

Yeah good point :) Question is how reliable this is or if another half a year will be added again in the next update.
4apl-06 has been moved forward 1 month in total:

Brownfields Fibre � 4APL-09
Looks like we are going to get FTTP in 4NDG-06.

FTTP for 05 as well. Great
Where did it say that they are or aren't fttp etc?

Looks like it. It looks like FTTN is listed as "Other".
Greenfield will always be FTTP.
Another conundrum.
NBNco just released this list
http://www.nbnco.com.au/cont
But nowhere can be found Boondal or Taigum.
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.
But nowhere can be found Boondal or Taigum.
Try the link I gave above, they're listed.
Boondall is for sure getting fibre.
Today boys installed fibre in a pit past my home :)
Looks like they don't mack around in College Green.

anyone know when all of Bridgeman downs is getting NBN? like serisously its been NBN preparation for 12 months already how long do they need to prepare??

pretty sure Aspley will cover Bridgeman downs and maybe Boondal.
this appears to be the status of Bridgeman downs at least
http://www.mynbn.info/fsam/4APL-05
2 to 3 months it takes to prepare apparently
so maybe April they might start puting fiber in the ground.
Aspley 05 has been in preparation for 2 years now, fingers crossed for this month

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

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.

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?

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.

On the DevotedNBN query results you missed this disclaimer:
** MTM: NBN Co is reshaping the rollout to incorporate a wider mix of technologies including Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Basement (FTTB) and Hybrid Coaxial-Fibre (HFC). DeVoteD NBN can not currently distinguish between these footprints based on the information provided by NBN Co. For the time being, all areas within the fixed line footprint will be listed as using Fixed Line (MTM).
Lots of work today in an established area and a new area.
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....

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.

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?

Parts of Ascot are live and the rest is being worked on. Try entering the address here and see what it tells you. If its not available yet it won't be too long before it will be.
It says:
Status Serviceable � Appointment Required
Type Fibre
Service Class 2
How long would it take for that to be 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?

4APL-05 is so close but yet so far from being done!!
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.
4APL-09
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.

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......

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.

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.

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 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?

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

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.

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.
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.
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...
Anyone in 4APL-06 connected yet? Had my install on the 20th March and the installer never showed up, Pushed back to the 9th of April now.
Just signed up. TPG
Just out of interest, is there any difference between say Telstra, internode and TPG interms of risk, service and reliability?
I've got a letter 'to the householder' last week, and the deal is extremely good compared to our current bundle with Telstra.
Also where to from here, do I just signup for NBN and get a bundle with whoever is the ISP and get a phone, do I have to pay for a new NBN phone?
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.
They are no longer doing wall plates. The internal house fiber runs directly into the frame holding the NTD. Looks much neater.

woot... 4ACO-O2 hendra.. 48/18 :) yummy
man they make a dogs breakfast of the install externally. not winning any awards for best cabling i've seen.. the installers aren't given much to work with

In have my installation this Friday afternoon... I'm not liking my chances.
I can't help notice that you also had it booked on a Friday. I realised afterwards how silly that was considering the high amount of installers not showing up, and the general drop in productivity on Friday afternoons, but oh well. Too late to change it now anyway. We have a new house with an easy install, so hopefully that will be enough incentive to prioritise me over his other appointments :P

Work being done on corner of Robinson Rd and Sandgate Rd near the Shell.
Seems like remediation along Robinson Rd pits too. I'm assuming it's for back haul for 4APL-10?

Mine is suppose to be 8am to 12pm today. But alas it's 9.39am and still no show. My thinking last night was a 50/50 chance. But now more like 1% chance. Even working for a Telco and having inside info didn't help. It's all up to NBNco.
Didn't receive any phone calls to confirm.
OK, please help.
The NBN guys have done the work outside with installing the grey box. I've received a letter from TPG (with an amazing deal compared to my current Telstra bundle). Is Telstra is bees' knees or are they just not competitive on NBN?
Where to from here?
Do I call my current ISP or NBN to install the stuff inside?
Thanks in advance.
Did they turn up seize..? who is your ISP?
Did you get such a call and they still didn't turn up?

The brown is getting closer on the map!!! its pretty much in 4APL-05
hmm im not liking my chances then ... if 8-12 and arrived 1.20, mine was 1-5pm, still waiting anxiously.
hoping they do show because it will be a very quick install, pcd already there, about 2-3m to the point to punch through the brick and then everything hooked up on the other side. but as i say, not liking my chances :(
/edit: rolled back to the first apr
Nothing has changed on mynbn site it has said the same thing for over 6 months. All it is talking about is Telstra doing pit remediation. Same excuse NBN is using for not going to the next phase of issuing contract to Thiess to install fibre. I reckon it is the acreage in 4APL-05 holding it up, imagine the cost of the lead in, some of those houses are 200-300 metres off the road as opposed to 4-8 metres in a standard building block.

I think it's just contractor shortage. I know of a few other FSAM's in the exact same situation. For example: 4NDG-05

4apl-06
They called yesterday to confirm my appointment on Friday. They also said they'd send someone around earlier to check if they have to dig a trench for pcd etc. Today they call me to say they installed the pcd today. Was a surprise. Nice and clean install too. They confirmed again appointment for Friday, so fingers crossed!

I know how you feel I have been waiting for the map of 4APL-05 to change to brown since 2013.
I did hear a rumour late last year that the contract was issued to Thiess back in November last year due for RFS by September this year but I am starting to think that was BS.
Robinson Rd East, Geebung/Zillmere � Big roll of lime green fibre ready to be put into the ground however this area hasn't been announced yet. Backhaul?
Update:
Was scheduled for between 1-5pm today.. Knock on the door @ 11:30 and they were here.
Roughly an hour later and they had it all up and running... But unfortunately now I have to run some network cables so no NBN for me yet.. Damn you doublebrick.. :'(

I got a spare 20 metre CAT5E patch cable if you want to borrow it ?
More work on Robinson Rd today.
Seems like some sort of inspection/splicing happening on a pit near the overpass.
Big coil of green fibre halfway along Robinson Rd. Seems like fresh spray paint along the footpath and road too.
Saw heaps of NBN/Theiss cars at the McDonald's getting their morning fix.

I'm gonna wager a guess that its backhaul for Boondall 4APL-08.

Cheers, but I jumped up in the roof last night and ran a couple of leads. Still have rolls of cat5e from cabling a few houses. :p
There is a lot of nbn work happening between Shorncliffe train line and Sandgate Rd (old part of Boondall).
4APL-06
Had scheduled install today between 1-5pm. He showed up around 12.30 and was finished around 1.30pm. Nice and clean install and NTD was smaller than I thought. He activated it while still here and I could instantly access internet at 100/40mbit :) Very happy.
spoke to Telstra today they think 4APL-05 will be updated by 2016
joy!!!
Ermm...any news regarding 4APM-08 ?
I had a chat to one of the guys rolling out cable in 4APL-08 and he said they expect it to be ready by May/June, though I take that with a grain of salt. They don't seem to have any more inside knowledge than the average Whirlpooler. Heaps of work been going on over recent weeks though; green cable everywhere and including using those tunnel borers due to collapsed / damaged conduit, which must slow them down a bit. (I'm in an older part of Boondall). One of them said that often they open a pit and the ropes from the rodding and roping have disappeared due to Telstra guys having done repairs and using the ropes to pull copper through. Dirty stopouts!
NBN co has come back and said that no fibre has been installed to our townhouse.....disappointed....
If 4APL-08 follows same time frame from CI to RFS as 4APL-06 then we're looking at a June RFS
4APL-09

Ordered on 18th March and was due to be installed yesterday but no one showed up. Rang RSP and was told no one showed due to "the weather" *sigh*
My mate in a new estate in Carindale � has a green fibre optic cable running right past his house, literally 40cm from his front fence in the PIT.
Rang up NBNCo. Apparently he can't get connected? Surely they can tap into it considering it's 'Available'?
Sadly, no. There are two types of fibre optic cable � the big thick one that goes from the exchange to the FDHs (Fibre Distribution Hubs), and the "dropper" cables that go from the FDHs to the individual premises.
What is in front of your mate's house is almost certainly the first of these, and thus cannot be connected to your mate's house.
To use an electicity analogy, it's a bit like a farmer saying to the electricity company, "Those four-legged steel electricity pylons go across my property, can't I just connect to them"? (For those unfamiliar with pylons, their voltage is in the 250,000V to 1,000,000V range. Just a bit high for a house wanting 240V).

Hope they don't end up using HFC. Two technologies in the same exchange area will be harder to support surely!
Last time I had the misfortune to use Internet it was unusable during peak hours due to congestion. QoS on video consumers don't help. Was docs is 2.0 overseas.
Hope they don't end up using HFC. Two technologies in the same exchange area will be harder to support surely!
Reading the MTM docs that came out a few months back, they said they are going to minimise network complexity � which I interpret as continuing to roll out FTTP where it has already begun. However the Govt/NBN may interpret these words differently.

WTF this is the second time NBN have removed 4APL-05 from the map, it can't be HFC as I'm pretty sure it is only available in the Wineries estate in the Carseldine part of 05 where the Bridgeman Downs side has none as far as I know.
NBN day for me tomorrow... Its been a long wait but hopefully it will be well worth it.
I've heard about a lot of last minute cancellations and 'no shows' with no phone call either in Aspley and Zillmere.
Hey what was your installation like ? I've seen a couple that were really ugly. My Nan in Carsledine had the NTD and power supply screwed to the dining room wall and one of the bosses from RACQ had his installed in the lounge room of a brand new house. WTF !
Heaps of places have been removed but who knows why so much work has been laid out already if they can it for existing HFC....
http://jxeeno.com/blog:nbn-c
Has anyone heard about a proper cabinet to use in existing houses ? I think electricians put some type of box in new houses so the NTD and power supply are at least out of sight.
installation came good today - i have the das blinkenlights; but no internet service; it seems. at least internode have a callback function... i have myself in the queue so will see if theres anything they can see on their end. even tho it seems to be running i havent had an activation sms from them so i suspect thats why im not yet completely up and running... otherwise, im happy the install actually proceeded when booked!
/edit: the fix came through; i am now online :D confusion from the remnants of my previous NBN install, i think. via ookla: 47.59 down 19.24 up
What!?!??!
I just bought a house yesturday *because* it was in the green area of 4NDG-04 and I really want FTTP. We couldn't find a suitable property in the purple area.
What does this mean
flap flap flap
NBN day for me tomorrow... Its been a long wait but hopefully it will be well worth it.
NBN installers came, they were early which was great. Installers were super happy with my cabinet and draw wire in place for them to make their life easier. They said they didn't have the activation app with them so i am waiting for my service to be activated.
All in all im pretty happy

I have just emailed NBN and contacted my local federal member and advised them of my absolute disgust in the removal of 4APL-05 from the NBN rollout map and the waste of money completing pit remediation for FTTH. I know it's a waste of time but I felt better venting my frustration.

Did that too. It's utterly ridiculous now that we're going to have even more delays if we switch to HFC. I wouldn't even mind waiting if I had access to better internet but 3.5mbps adsl just isn't cutting it.

My recent install in Carseldine was great. Quick, clean and he activated it on the spot. He was half an hour early though, so make sure you don't cut it too short if you are taking a half day from work.
Your Nan might have an excuse in not knowing what's going on, but your boss has none. He can chose where it goes. I put it in the storage under the stairs. Central location in the house (I'm mounting router on wall next to it) and out of sight.
Has anyone heard about a proper cabinet to use in existing houses ? I think electricians put some type of box in new houses so the NTD and power supply are at least out of sight.
The default install for the NTD now has a simple cover, doesn't look bad at all. Assuming you skip the battery of course, which I did.
Just got my TPG NBN installed (100/40 plan) this morning, took around 4 hours to activate � next to Doomben race course.
Got it hooked up to a Draytek Vigor 2830vn, running latest firmware, with QoS disabled.
Ookla showing 70Mbps down, 37Mbps up (6pm), which is consistant with my result at taken earlier today at 2pm.
Looks like no congestion as of yet, might have to thank Friday for that :-)
Anyone got a Draytek 2830Vn which pushes 100Mbps down?
Has the change to HFC been confirmed yet? Its just speculation at the moment right?
Currently speculation, but based on reasonable assumption. All Build Prep FSAMs (except Dubbo) are located in HFC areas. FSAMs in Build Prep without HFC remain on the map.
The sad thing is. That my mates tpg adsl 25mbs gets better ping times and speeds to overseas speedtest sites than my 100/40 nbn. I read iinet are having nbn issues also. I was stoked to get nbn. But its only useful when u wanna download locally.
I can and have maxed out an iinet adsl connection also 25mbs or 2.5Mb/s thats connected to a server in germany on an uncontended (just me using) 100mbs link with 2 threads via sftp. But when doing the same thing on nbn it crawls along. Probally 30mbs with 8 threads at a time goin

is that with Skymesh? may be an issue with their upstream Vocus, certainly wouldn't be the firt time Vocus have had weird sh!t happening.
would probably be wise to fire up a service on another uni-d port with another provider for testing.
it's not an nbn specific issue, moreso a provider/providers upstream.
If HFC is the reason for removing for example 4APL-05 from the rollout what are they going to do with more than half the FSAM which is not covered by HFC, like everything north of Beams road, all the acreage areas and the Travorten estate? Does anyone think these areas may still get FTTH or will 4APL-05 only consist of houses covered by Telstra's HFC network.
Hey Mundza, where did you get that cabinet your NTD is mounted in ? How many $$$ ?
Other than the fact it seems to have disappeared from the maps?
yep its not there any more

Houses inside the HFC footprint which are not actually connected will be filled in. So IF 4apl-05 was removed due to now using the HFC network, this is likely to be the plan. As you can hear though, it doesn't sound like a very good plan, especially in areas such as this where work for fttp has already begun. So we'll see what happens. Keep in mind that there has been no official announcement as far as I am aware, so there is still hope (although the silence is not encouraging).

Heaps of places have been removed but who knows why so much work has been laid out already if they can it for existing HFC....

basically we will get HFC at some undetermined time in the future and all that pit remediation work they did was for nothing.
I really doubt they did any prep work at all.
I don't know whether or not to love or hate HFC if that is the plan I just don't want to have to wait for it, they could have just been done with the original NBN plan a year ago to be honest.
I really doubt they did any prep work at all.
They have replaced quite a number of the old asbestos pits in our area but the job was never completed with many still covered by temporary yellow covers since last year.

So much for extra transparency � still nothing announced yet.
Looked to be under road piping going on at Stanworth Rd, Boondall today
4APL-08 Got a letter in the post today from NBNCo that they will be installing the NTD between 11 May and 31 July. I thought we had HFC here, (there are Optus metal discs on the street corners here which I thought indicated HFC)? If that is the case, I wonder how they determine who is getting fibre and who gets HFC. Maybe all is not lost if you are in a HFC area.

4APL-01,02,03,04,06,07,08,09,10 are all FTTH.
4APL-05 ?????????????????
Got shafted.
They are going to have a big development of house in 05 in about a year or so they will start getting ready for that which should mean Fibre is going down because its a new estate. no idea what they will do with existing homes in the area though.

Nothing here yet (College Green).
What is the delay in Boondall? How much longer can it possibly take?
What is the delay in Boondall?
No delay as far as I know (at least not since we were put back on the map). Expected RFS is September 2015.
Residents in Aberdeen Pde near North Boondall train station received letter about NBN installation to occur on premises in May/June.
No delay as far as I know (at least not since we were put back on the map). Expected RFS is September 2015.
That's a delay. The original (pre election) roll out plan had Boondall RFS last year. There have either been substantial delays or the original dates were utter rubbish. Or a bit of both.
I'll still believe it (FTTP NBN in my street) when I see it. There is still time for the Libs to kill off FTTP. You know they want to.
That's a delay. The original (pre election) roll out plan had Boondall RFS last year.
(at least not since we were put back on the map)
We were taken off the map after the election � then put back later. That's what I was referring to. Yes � we're a lot later than the original roll-out schedule suggested � but that was never going to happen.

So many things wrong with this sentence � Federal Labor were the ones rolling out FTTP. Federal LNP are the ones in Government and are currently in the process of destroying the FTTP dream. State politics has nothing to do with it.
Your ire is misdirected. The state government doesn't command NBNco.

so are you telling me they don't need council approval to just start ripping out phone lines and shoting fiber down?
so are you telling me they don't need council approval to just start ripping out phone lines and shoting fiber down?
Council isn't Queensland Government either.
so are you telling me they don't need council approval to just start ripping out phone lines and shooting fiber down?
they dont rip out copper phone lines; they install the fibre next to the copper. in fact you can run both services side by side if you really felt like it. (they certainly did not touch the copper for either of my installs).
for the works they DO do, i believe they get council approval for � at the build design stage, well before any workers get out on the road. but thats by the bye, neither your local council or the state govt. have any real impact on the rollout.
The feds do.
specifically, the major shareholder minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Pretty sure the only council approval they need is for works involving road condition changes � the pits and pipes were all owned by Telstra and they had an agreement with them allowing them to perform the works. They may have required an approval for pit replacements, but anything going on inside the pit is entirely up to Telstra, who agreed to let NBN do what they need to.
I live on Bicentennial Road in 4APL-08 and there are some guys in my complex rodding and roping all of the pits and pipes. I got excited when I first saw them, but then realised they didn't have any fibre cable with them, just good old blue/yellow Telstra rope. Not sure if they're from NBN or if body corporate organised them, but either way, the PCD install is gonna take them no time at all now.
by the time NBN come out in 05 I will have moved to an area that has it active already screw Labour and screw the idiot queenslanders than voted for Labour.
Lol, what? It's the Libs (LNP here in Qld) that are killing off the FTTP NBN dream, not Labor. NBN is a federal program, we've had a Coalition federal government for the last couple of years, and they are committed to stopping Labor's plan for FTTP.
Council isn't Queensland Government either.
Indeed, not only that, depending on where old mate Kung Fu lives, there's a good chance it is a LNP controlled council he's ranting about. If he's in Boondall like us, it's Brisbane City Council involved, and BCC is LNP controlled by Newman's former deputy, Quirk.

He's in Bridgeman Downs. Dunno if that makes a difference?
Googling "bridgeman downs council" gives me a website with Bridgeman Downs parts being under the BCC.
So now we have it, he can blame the LNP in council, state, and federal levels. :P
He's in Bridgeman Downs. Dunno if that makes a difference?
He is in the federal Liberal seat of Petrie (Luke Howarth) and he and every one else who is angry about what has happened should email there local member and NBNCo and demand answers. I emailed his office 2 weeks ago and this is part of the response
"Luke has also asked the Ministers office to look into this matter and provide further information.
He will be back in touch as soon as he receives additional information."
Still waiting for further info.
I have been checking my letterbox daily, alas still nothing.
Is anybody connected to the interim Chermside CSA (Mayfair & Arbour apartments in Chmerside)?
Finally able to connect our office to the NBN is APL-06. We are a multi unit building, so were waiting for additional configuration.
Install booked for 19/5!
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 :)
I got "the" letter this week � the PCD is to be installed between 2015-07-04 & 2015-08-26
(4apl09)
still no news on 4APL-05?
still no news on 4APL-05?
I don't think we'll see anything till the HFC rollout starts.
Looks like 4apl-08 got pushed til October.
Really unhappy about that. We went build prep before 09 and 10 did yet they're gonna get it first.
I'm in 4apl-10, in a small block of townhouse units and we already had our PCD installed about 2 months ago. RFS date is on the 19th of June 2015..can't wait!
I don't think we'll see anything till the HFC rollout starts.
so according to this nothing is going to happen till first quarter of 2016 for the HFC roll out
well that is crap so I have to stick with crappy ADSL till the government pulls there finger out
well its all looking pretty grim for 4APL-05
http://www.mynbn.info/rollout/4APL-05
But there is a housing development that is being put up that used to be a farm so they might fast forward the fiber in the ground maybe development starts next month.
Hi,
We are in 4ACO-02 in an estate with mixed villas and townhouses. All the villas have been connected (or can connect) to NBN. We in the townhouses have not yet been connected. It is frustrating as NBN seems to have ignored us. When I spoke to them the other week they mentioned they would start to connect the townhouses mid-may/june � but there have not been any work what-so-ever at any f the townhouses.
Has anyone in 4APL-10 been switched on yet? Today is your expected Ready For Service day
Has anyone in 4APL-10 been switched on yet? Today is your expected Ready For Service day
Nop not yet. I was informed by my potential NBN RSP that the RFS was moved to early July (looking at the NBN portal from their end). Of course this is subject to change � could be switched on earlier or later. But nevertheless it is near :)
well its all looking pretty grim for 4APL-05
Sure does,
I finally got answers from Federal member and Turnbulls office and the reason we have been removed is because we have HFC. I emailled the local member back and blasted him because this is the second time we have been removed from the rollout and the other reason is that only about a third of 4APL-05 has HFC so what is going to happen to the rest of the people in this node that don't. I also asked why they didn't answer my question on why they would waste all that money completing pit remediation and the pull the pin. As expected Luke Howarth hasn't replied.
So basically I give up, we're not even on the list for anything in the next 18 months, so its HFC for some in the area and FTTN for me (might as well just stay on ADSL). NBN is dead.
FYI � Looks like 4APL-10 went live on the 25th of June 2015 :)

I thought they filled in properties without HFC in HFC areas?
So emailed NBN Co they pretty much checked and there is not trace of anything actually happening for 05
pretty much nothing for happy for 2 years..
WTF!! I am moving to another location because that is major BS. this time I will actually make sure NBN is connected and functional fibre in the ground already before I move there.
I thought they filled in properties without HFC in HFC areas?
I would estimate that only about a third of 4APL-05 is covered by HFC, the Wineries estate (the part that doesn't have FTTP) and the housing around Ridley Road southern end in Bridgeman Downs have HFC but all the new estates north of Beams road don't and I'm pretty sure none of the acreage areas do either. I really can't see them rolling out HFC to such a large area it would be cheaper to stick with FTTP. I still can't comprehend NBN just wiping us off the map for the second time since I moved here, everyone that lives in the area should be complaining to Luke Howarth our federal member.
but all the new estates north of Beams road don't and I'm pretty sure none of the acreage areas do either
Yeah, i'm north of Beams road. Being on a 4km copper line sucks. Dunno how much longer I can last with only 4mbps.
Yeah, i'm north of Beams road. Being on a 4km copper line sucks. Dunno how much longer I can last with only 4mbps.
yeah I decided on just moving to a location that has NBN running and fiber already in the ground.
but thats just me I don't mess around I need NBN mainly for work from home purposes I need high speed upload and download to upload and download files over VPN over many servers a 3 to 4mbps connection is not cutting it by any means. The idiots over there in our "all knowing" government wouldn't know a train was up them till the people got out. They are clueless they think people use the internet for facebook and rubbish they don't seem to understand people use it for real business applications from home and for an IT prospective the link speed is critical.
But .... the yokels at the Australian govenment don't seem to know this. NBN roll out is a massive joke they really really should have put someone in charge that actually works or worked in teh IT industry not someone that didn't.
It's the population majority that voted them in so we only have ourselves to blame really. If moving house is an option for you definitely do it. We built a new house in Nudgee and so luckily are on FTTP, but I still feel for all the people that are getting screwed over, particularly those of you that literally have had it ripped out from underneath you
FTTP 4018 PCD installed today at side of my house at Taigum.
I arrived home to find a 4 foot deep hole and pavers removed all replaced in a professional manner.
Installer claims August is the confirmed live date thats about 4 months ahead of schedule.
He said they have been wiring up some suburbs and going live right after the PCD installation is finished depending on progress of the build in area.
For those who don't already know, 4APL-10 has now gone live :)
4APL-09 RFS been pushed back one month to Nov 15
what about 4APL-05?
Lol never.
Nah we'll probably have to wait for the HFC rollout to start.
Has anyone seen any work going on in 4APL-08 or 4APL-09 since 4APL-10 went live?

I got a note from onsite manager at a townhouse complex in 4APL-09 that said in next few weeks lead in design work would be completed and owners would be getting some documentation to show where PCDs would be installed on the townhouses. I'm not sure how long till the installs start.
show where PCDs would be installed on the townhouses.
It is usually just installed next to where your current Telstra box terminates outside of each individual unit.
It is usually just installed next to where your current Telstra box terminates outside of each individual unit.
That's what I expect. There are some where the space between side gate and the front of the unit is pretty well full with gas/elec/telstra/foxtel cable/shared tv antenna gear and often a water tap too and personally I'm interested to see how they fit the PCD on those walls.
I moved into a brand new complex on Dorville rd (just off Beams rd).
According to nbn co nbn exists and all the other houses in the street have nbn external boxes.
This place just has a small thin telstra box. Telstra aren't sure if the box has nbn capabilities and need to inspect the box.
Someone told me in brand new houses they are just building connections to nbn so there is a chance it's an nbn box but, it looks like the normal phone line boxes.
If it's not nbn then we can get our adsl re-connected until they sort out the nbn installation, if it is nbn then we have to use dial up until we can get an internal installation.
Does anyone know if they just default to nbn installation in new properties if the capabilities are already in the area?
It would stuck using dial up for who knows how long while we wait for interior installation.
4APL-08: had PCD installed a couple of days ago.
Why not apply to have an NBN service connected? If the fibre is in place you'll have the next available connection date. If it's not, that will get organised.
sam159 - which part of -08 are you?
It would stuck using dial up for who knows how long while we wait for interior installation.

sam159 � which part of -08 are you?
I'm just east of Sandgate Rd, a couple of blocks from Boondall train station. They used an air powered bullet to punch through from the pit to the house for the fibre as the copper conduit was too small but it was all pretty straightforward. Installers said that I could call my ISP to have the NTD installed but as far as I know, a majority of premises need to be connected before that can happen?
That's good news for me, I'm not that far from the train station so they're in the area at least.
As far as getting connected, I've heard some people say they're switching areas on as soon as the PCD is in, rather than waiting for all of the FSA to be ready. Wouldn't hurt to try. I submitted my application already, RSP is sitting on it until my PCD is in and I notify them of that.

Got mine as well, Daramalan st.
NBN can't come soon enough ! :)
4APL-02 is live.
Some great news in the letterbox today... 4APL-08.
We got a similar letter. There is an NBN box on the side of the house now, but I'm not sure if it is fully configured yet. What's the next step? The letter mentions testing of the connection, after which we can apply to have NBN installed inside the house with a provider. Will we get another notice in the mail when that is ready?
What's the next step?
Call your ISP. They'll be able to determine whether your address is ready for connection.
Same letter on Frawley street.

All good, thought I'd help a member out!

Funny, we had the box installed to the outside of the house a few weeks ago but never received the letter... Nevermind. I called my ISP and they said that it may be a month or two before they are advised that the area is ready for service. Still (un)officially October according to myNBN. 4APL-08
college way, got my letter on Tuesday :) installation between 12th of August and 3rd of November.
I'm on Bicentennial and got an NBN letter today, but no dates on it, just that it's coming soon... Thanks for resending a letter you sent out 6 months ago when we started Build phase

I got that one today too. The one with dates arrived a few days ago. I thought today's was kinda pointless!

That is probably my letter as I have never received a build phase letter. :)
Most recent update on MyNBN puts us 4APL-08 online on 28th October, 2015. That is far too far away for my liking. 4APL-10 was finished 10 months after build commenced, but it's gonna take them 13 months to do ours?

Patience is virtue :)
4APL-09 - Had PCD installed in Taigum a couple of weeks ago. Installers apologised for the mess digging up the lawn. My response was "I dont care about my lawn, I want NBN ASAP!"
09 seems to be moving ahead quickly, but why the RFS was moved back to November is beyond me. Have to admit, I'm looking forward to help kick out these LNP jokers next election.
What's happening in 4APL-05 is just as much a joke. We are feeling for you guys over there. We should have a party when you go live. I hope I'm not too old by then!
At least you folks in 4APL-0x have some hope for the NBN.
Here in 4NDG-04, we have no hope for getting the NBN, and way things are going, even the possibility of being inflicted with the MTM is highly doubtful.

Original letter said between 12 August and 3 November. New letter today with "revised" dates � between 1 September and 23 November.
4APL-08 � dates have been pushed out by about 3 weeks.
I wonder if this will change RFS dates for 4APL-08 and if the change to 4APL-09 back to Nov already builds these delays in to their revised date.
Not sure if "Inner North" or not,
spotted a node in the 4WRN-05 SAM...(DA:42). About 5m from the pillar.
My area was listed as getting FTTP with an ETA of a couple months after the election.
Now they change it to HFC??
I'm moving house (seriously).

Does that mean you can get connected yet, or just have the box outside? I'm in the older part before college green (backing onto Sandgate road. I got the letter stating the outside box is being installed between 1 Sep and 27 Nov, but was wondering if I can get the rest done ASAP after it is installed? Or are they waiting for that magical % installed before saying ok?
I live in a 3yr old unit complex at Wilston, which does not appear to be on any rollout maps but the builder said said we were "NBN Ready". This is a photo of the Telstra box we have. Could anyone hazard a guess as to what is inside, and what NBN technology this would provide us in the future?
Thanks.

What you'll get is the slowest speed version of the Fiberal Notional Party Notional Fraudband Notwork squeezed through the creakingly ancient Tel$tra copper phone lines.
It's the same, bottom spec fraudband notwork that my area, 4NDG-04 has been downgraded to.

In almost inner-city Brisbane with ubiquitous 4G coverage?
I might have an outdated view, but I associate 4G with being mobile and making do with a couple of GB/mth. Will 4G ever be a better deal than my current ADSL2 (13Mbit/s, 300GB, $70/mth)?
I'm referring to NBN not wanting to build a Fixed Wireless tower in a place where HFC coverage and 4G coverage exists.
HFC coverage
OK it looks like I can get 25 or 100Mbit/s cable but only through Telstra, and at a monthly cost well above what I'm currently paying. I think I'll sit tight and see what develops. I'm not particularly unhappy with my current service, just curious about other options.
Thanks.
Installers were at the top of college way and northumbria rd today installing the pcd's into houses.
Saw NBN contractors fitting PCD's at the Northern end of Lyndhurst Road in Boondall 4APL-08.

yes but it doesn't say WHEN!! the roll out will be for 4APL-05!!
I gave up on this if I don't get NBN by the end of the year in this area I am moving. with it or not
I want Fibre to the Home not HFC
When will 4APL-09 be active, PCD has been installed for ages!!!! Should be active well ahead of schedule
I think 4-apl-09 was scheduled for late Nov but recent changes to Telstra wholesale document shows 1Nov as possible forward shift of that date. I'm in 4apl-09 but don't have PCD yet :(

Has anyone seen any work in Boondall recently ? RFS is the end of October, but there's not much going on the ground, I wonder if they're going to be ready.

I had my PCD installed last Monday, in College Way I was driving down Thoms Ave today and I saw the guy who installed mine working on that street. So it looks like they are doing College Green at the moment.

Just called iiNet. It's not active at their end yet. They said I should get another letter in the mail to let me know that it's active � however the previous letter I received said that once the "utility box" is installed, I can contact my preferred supplier. *Shrugs*
Oh well � can't be long now!

There was a team today installing PCD on the corner of College Way and Brigiding Cres.

I believe that 4APL-05, like the missing 4APL-12 (Zillmere/Geebung), are potentially HFC rollout spots, and as such, nothing should be happening until sometime next year, or 2017.
So essentially all we can do is wait, and wait, and wait... for this "so called" faster rollout...
Or move to somewhere already live

yeah I figured as much thats why I am moving I work from home mostly and I can't stand 2mbps(if I am lucky most of teh time is 1mbps or less) download and 1mbps upload speeds that is pitiful and not usable. I find myself using alot of 4G data but 50gb at 150 bucks a month is expensive just to give fast download and uploads.
I came from an area before I moved to Bridgeman downs that had 20mbps downloads and about 2mbps uploads, so very annoyed
I picked my current house partly because it was due to be connected to NBN in June 2014. Now expected end of October 2015 and I move out in January 2016.

I can understand your frustration. I too may be moving in January. I've gone through the process of whether I should consider an NBN connection (or currently in build) as a factor in where I purchase a new home � or whether to weigh other factors higher knowing an "NBN" connection will happen "some time" in the next few years.
I'm steering towards the latter but it'll be a frustrating few years � especially after having a couple of months on the NBN first! (Yes I considered not connecting when 4APL-08 goes live, but that wouldn't be fair to my housemates who are extremely keen to get it as well.)

NBN boxes getting drilled to external walls on Handford Road.
Bunch of installers around Frawley street.
Got the little gray box installed :) Now just waiting for RFS.
Its on Daramalan st, if anyone's interested.
NBN box installed in Calvary Crescent Bondall on Friday. Anyone know how to speed up nbn updating their website....don't understand why it takes a week (as advised by installers and internet provider).

I got the Box installed outside today in Leeson Street, Boondall 4APL-08-16, Do I really need to wait until 28th Oct for RFS?
Do I really need to wait until 28th Oct for RFS?
Most probably, yes. Don't forget that they also need to start testing etc itself before the go live date. Best to check with your preferred RSP around the live date to see if it is active in the nbn portal for you to order the service.
Ps: the go live date is also subject to change (4APL-10 only went live about 2 weeks after the initial date)
Most probably, yes. Don't forget that they also need to start testing etc itself before the go live date.
I know, I was being facetious. :) It's just frustrating that it takes me 28 hours to upload a 40 minute youtube video...

Contractors have been installing boxes on the sides of houses down Leona St, Boondall (4APL-08-06) yesterday and today. Got ours done early this morning. Now to wait for RFS. . .
Decided on an RSP yet? :)
Well I'm currently with TPG ADSL2+ and have been happy with their service so far (since ~2009). Only ever had 2 issues and those have been with the Telstra copper. I can get the TPG NBN 100/40 unlimited D/L inc phone line for $99 p/m which is only $10 more than what I am paying for slow ass ADSL and line rental. Another aspect I like is the Battery backup is mandatory and I can use my current phone with the UNI-V port.
The only issue I have is they will charge me $10 to send out one of their routers, where I plan to use my own (ASUS DSL-N55U which has a WAN port) regardless. I'd like to talk them out of sending me one, otherwise I'll just cop the $10 and use mine anyway and theirs if I have trouble :)
So we're in the 3 year rollout plan right now. My area 4APL-05, which was meant to get FTTP at the end of 2013 and got removed from the plan a few months ago is now expected to start construction for FTTP/FTTN in Q2 2017? We got removed from the map for apparently 'having' HFC and now we're not even getting HFC? Why even remove us in the first place?
We have HFC in the Zillmere/Geebung area too, but we aren't getting that. We are slated for FTTN instead, though we have to wait another two years for it... So much for faster...
I'm not entirely sure that NBNco know what they are actually doing from one minute to the next.
We have HFC in the Zillmere/Geebung area too, but we aren't getting that. We are slated for FTTN instead, though we have to wait another two years for it... So much for faster...
75% of my area doesn't even have HFC. I'm stuck on copper which is close to 4km away from the exchange and getting 3.5mbps. I don't think I can wait till H2 of 2017 for it to start construction.
My only benefit is that I'm about 500m away from the Zillmere exchange, so my ADSL speeds aren't too shabby (changing from TPG to iiNet should help somewhat too).
If I was in your shoes, I think I'd be "going insane" too...
Count yourself lucky, I'm in Bridgeman Downs/McDowall currently running of the EVERTON PARK (ENPK) Exchange and we are not on the 3 year roll out plan! not happy at all.
Ouch, no cable either?
