Nah it's ok. I think it was just one particular video on a dodgy server or something. Everything else has been fine.
drove past deeragun today and saw trenches being dug along the footpath as well as leadins
mynbn says this is an FTTN area and there's a recently installed node like 50m up the road why is this? are they getting fibre on demand?
Nah, you can't get fibre on demand until the area is RFS. It would have been deemed to be more cost effective to run fibre as opposed to FTTN. In some areas with new pits and conduits, it's better value for money. Also, newer burbs usually ran a lower gauge copper which may not work on FTTN. It's luck of the draw...
Don't get your hopes up for FoD. It's highly unlikely it will ever see the light of day.
Well I'll certainly be putting FoD to the test by putting in a number of applications for work related sites around NQ. I'll let you all know how it goes..
So I bit the bullet and ended up going with Internode. Install date is 01 June � bit excited :)
Parents had their install done yesterday morning. Online with Telstra at a nice 24/4. They don't know what to do with that 1TB of data after their previous 4GB mobile broadband plan.
Update the computers whenever they want.
I remember I always had to stage ours when I was on mobile lol
Update the computers whenever they want.
Oh yeah. Their phones and tablet are now updating like mad. And dad can now actually watch videos!!
just got into Townsville yesterday and noticed them running the lovely green cable on riverway drive in condon.
was hoping work was going on down near kelso where my parents in law live but alas no, not a sign of green anywhere.
You mean this? ;)
yeah
I just got an iinet 100/40 line connected in Mount Louisa, tests about 85/30 but maxes out no problem
Just did my first steam download. 12MB/s
Ridiculous
Lots of works happening down Allambie lane in Rasmussen. Big spools of green cable being pulled into pits :)
Jordee the NBN Stalker :) lets hope that currawong area gets it soon.
\
so from my recent trip upto Townsville, the wife and i have been talking and it looks like a good option to sell up and move to townsville.
we are looking at a house in cranbrook and going off the finder/nbn it is FTTP
anyone else around the cranbrook area that has fibre and is it any good? what ISPs can you use up there?
Jordee the NBN Stalker :) lets hope that currawong area gets it soon.
Haha, yup :P
It'll start within the next couple of months :)

Townsville is predominantly FTTP. Essentially anywhere that is currently listed as "Available" is FTTP. The build areas in the northern suburbs will be FTTN.
Cranbrook is FTTP. The best ISP's for guaranteed speed are usually Telstra or Optus. Others have seen some backhaul issues. Others can comment as to whether or not that situation has improved.
Otherwise.. Welcome to Townsville!

cheers, i think it will be at least 6 months till we get up there, the logistics of moving all my stuff scares me. escpecially my 30 odd fish and 6 foot tank
TPG available as well im guessing?
Yup.
the thought of waiting nearly 2 more years for FTTN (on god knows what speed) is more than enough incentive to pack up my crap and move to the ville
Yeah if it was like that for me, I'd be thinking of moving to lol. You'll love it here. :)

Make sure you love humidity and the heat. If you're coming from a cooler climate I'd suggest making your move in the winter.
Townsville is one of the highest crime rates in QLD and unemployment at 13%, but we have NBN! we really have our priority's wrong...
but its still the best place to be, just lock up and hide your keys, and look out for your neighbours
Our internet speed in condon tonight..

Advanced Internet infrastructure will benefit the whole nation, Townsville's short term crime and unemployment woes is a local issue,to be resolved by state and local governments.

adsl ??? nbn isnt at condon yet is it?
and yes i know about the un-employment and crime
will ahve a job when i move up there so that takes care of one issue
at least the bank says it is doable so hopefully early next year we might be up there
Yes, Condon is an internet backwater... :(
Not for long tho.. give it time
Are you guys getting FTTN in Condon?
If so I will still look at buying in cranbrook
Two story houses are so cheap compared to Melbourne, although they probably need 50k put into them to make them look half decent, but I'm loving the massive blocks of land and flat land as well.
Yeah.. most likely FTTN. There's a splattering of FTTP somewhere, but we dont know where yet :P
I saw several teams doing stuff with several of the pits on Youlanda Drive today. They had people right at the end near the round about and back to the round about near the shops (plus in the middle)
It looked like they were setting up to pull something through. There were balls of rope, but whatever they were going to put through wasn't in sight at that stage.
Has anyone had any connection go ahead in the northern beaches area?
MyNBN info site reckons it should have gone live by now, but there only seems to be ADSL being offered still.
I don't believe the Burdekin region NBN (FTTN) rollout has it's own thread so I'll just post here. Not to mention it's on the Mackay POI.
Just checked and 4AYR-03 (Brandon) and 4AYR-02 (Home Hill) are now live and RFS as of the 17th of June. 4AYR-01 (which I'm on) is estimated for July 22, makes sense because it's a larger Service Area compared to the former.
Yeah.. Burdekin area appears to have been delayed for some reason...
I noticed the work was being done by Datatel whom I believe have been doing, at least some of, the NBN work in Townsville.
Promising signs!
EDIT: Meant to quote the gentleman who mentioned seeing the work on Yolanda Drive in Annandale.

Burdekin is a little delayed, original RFS date was 1st of June, now it shows 17th however no connections are being made just yet due to delays, no ETR at the moment AFAIK
about to dump Activ8me soon due to horrible peak speeds.. :( like 60 or so kb/s some times on steam downloads
is anyone in townsville on optus report on what they are like speed wise ?? the issue with alot of RSP's is they prioritize traffic to speedtest.net so when you test you get 90 odd meg then you check fast.com and notice your actually dont have good speeds
Not sure if they'd prioritise. Take in mind of course that when you speedtest from a local Australian server, your speedtests will probably utilise a peering feed as opposed to an internet feed. A steam download for instance may be traversing a main internet feed with higher contention. If speedtest.net is reflecting higher speeds than general internet access, then I would guess that perhaps your ISP has highly congested internet link(s) � particularly in international transit, but this isn't uncommon in Australia :)

Been on OPTUS since December � no complaints at all � 94Mb down on both speedtest.net and Fast.com

Yeah you're right, can't seem to order a NBN service (via Telstra) from any Brandon or Home Hill addresses anymore. Was working a few days ago.
nvm it's working again
Northshore and mount low just went live a few days ago. First fttn for Townsville.
Will be interesting to see the fttn speeds
Cheers
Tim
I'm in Mount Low, and it's still not live. Latest update from inside of Telstra is potentially late July.
Mynbn shows my area of North Shore as ready as of 26th June. Have gone and ordered a service online, will see if it gets rejected or not.

Hey Mate,
4DEG-01 & 4DEG-02 Sam's are the ones to go live. so anything ocean side of bruce hwy is good to go, anything bushland beach (4DEG-03) has a little to go.
Cheers,
Tim
Just received a text, tech visit booked in for Wednesday 13th July, between 1pm and 5pm for NTD install.
Update: just got a call from nbn, asking if it was ok to move my appointment to same time, this thursday.. :D
I was speaking to someone with some inside knowledge, and it turns out there are 'mini nodes' which are not active in the area. They will go RFS in the near future. Guess what I'm on...
Hey guys. Great to hear some progress on this side of town finally
I'm Mount Low side of burdell off 4DEG-05 anyone have some insider knowledge with what is happening here?
I have seen my pillar and my own connection personally within. As the street runs I would be looking at close to 800m of copper. Service says it will be ready in August yet I have not seen any works commencing whatsoever.
I'm wondering if I'm going to stuck with 25Mbps for the rest of my tax paying life. Most likely it would seem. 15 years from now little old Townsville will be a hot topic headlines feature 'The Great Digital Divide..' can see it now. Cheers
To anyone who has recently been connected :-
Can you share your fttn experience?
What plan/provider did you go with?
Would you recommend them/why?
Cheers
NTD Installed, no issues with the Installers from Tech2Home. Asked me where I wanted it, showed them the spot pretty much in the centre of the house, they said no worries, got to work, 30 mins later all done.
Now just to wait for my ISP to flick their switch lol.
After 3 months of stuffing around I have finally been connected on the third attempt to FTTB. Syncing at full speed of 100/40.
Up and running about 10pm last night. Speedtest giving me 93/30 so far, current router may be not up to task (Netcomm NB16WV-02) Only had it due to needing an ADSL modem previously.
Might have to give my DIR-865L a crack.

Good to hear mate, enjoy. :)
Rasmussen has just turned onto construction in progress :(
Condon still nothing
Hey there, I'm in Douglas near the Riverview Tavern and hoping for NBN later this year. I'm assuming of course that it will be FTTN and I'm wondering � is there an option to pay extra for FTTP in order to get a 100/40 connection?
Douglas isn't even in build yet, you'll be waiting a couple of years I reckon.

Yup, for build. Which means you might be able to order a service on it in early 2018.

How to spoil a man's night :(
4AYR-01 (Ayr) is now live, probably ordering a 100/40 FTTN service through Telstra in the coming days.
I'm 180m from the node so I'm pretty confident I'll get max sync speeds.
Hey guys mine is saying expected RFS in less than two weeks (4DEG5-05) there is no new cabinets constructed anywhere at all. (I know which pillar I'm on) Gotta be complete rubbish data right?
I did receive something via mail saying nbn was coming about 6 weeks ago.
I signed up to NBN on 4AYR-01 in Ayr last Friday despite NBN Finder indicating that it was still under construction in this area.
NBNco have also not updated their site yet but Optus were happy to put through the order.
Connection date is Monday.
Super keen for 100/40. Distance to the node by road is 280m.

I'm wrong. I found my cabinet it was even further away into whoop whoop from the pillar with which serves this populace (.. yay for us).
RFS was the 5th. Ordered yesterday on the 6th via TPG. Hoping for around 40Mb.. but expecting no more than 25. Glta
My iiNet connection seems to have improved several orders of magnitude this weekend during peak time. Usually Friday and Saturday evenings are sitting below 20mb/s. This weekend I've been getting full speeds on my 100/40 fttp plan.
Hopefully this is permanent and not the exception to the rule.
Edit: 4TNS-11
Install is confirmed for 01/09. Damn that's a long wait.. now I have polonged reading of everyone's modem stats in jealousy

Pity those of us who's build hasn't even started yet, I'm in Wulguru so looking at 2017 at the earliest.

I feel for you mate. This countries internet is a shambles. The fastest connection I've ever had was around 11Mbps in Wulguru years ago with Rawnet.
The house I am in now wasn't even built back then and my connection is half that nearly 10 years on :/ 5Mbps.
The way the rollout has been done just confuses me. Wulguru exchange is NBN ready, and there are pockets around which have NBN FTTP already, but instead of finishing one suburb before expanding into the next it almost seems that they have been throwing darts at a map to decide who gets NBN and in what order.
I have heard from people in Ayr (East Ayr at least) that the FTTN cutover didn't go very well and many are without phones and internet since Thursday. An NBN person said on Friday that the cutover failed and that Wednesday is when it would be fixed.
Not sure how it is supposed to work but I know of a place that doesn't have internet, just a phone line. They were sent a box (not sure what it was, I assume a bare bones VDSL/VOIP box) that needed to be plugged in after the cutover. They did that but no phone service.
I live in east Ayr, was supposed to be connected on 12/8, didn't happen (shocker). It's been rescheduled for 24/8 � this Wednesday. I'll be interested to see if I'm actually connected this time, thankfully my existing ADSL and phone are both working normally. From what I've read some people have had up to 9 goes at getting connected, so I remain skeptical that I'll be switched over on Wednesday.
Just a heads up, Telstra are apparently launching new bundles tomorrow:

xlarge � 1500gb, free local, std and mobile, international ultimate $140, telstra tv,
medium, large and xlarge get 3 months netflix, stan and presto
upgrade to gateway max 2 $96
same pricing for speed boost ($20/$30)
20/50/200gb data packs for $5/10/25
$89 activation charge. if you need tech visit it will be $89 activation + $240
Install is confirmed for 01/09. Damn that's a long wait.. now I have polonged reading of everyone's modem stats in jealousy
WOW. This is ridiculous. I was praying for 35/15..
Actual � 75/40!
(best speedtest results I can seem to get is around 70/39)
I have no bloody idea whats going on but I LIKE IT.
Estimated line length ~ 850m, I have since engaged Rendrag to try to help me out here � especially given my surprising sync speeds.
Cheers all

They are putting in NBN (FTTN I think) on the corner of Sandstone Drive and Bellbine Street in Kirwan. They have put a new green cabinet in and they are doing copper work. There has been a couple of Telstra people there for a few days with the manhole open. I think they are terminating the new copper cable from the cabinet to the pillar.
Anyone know what is going on down Kelso way with regards to what technology they are using?
Finder last time I checked said fixed wireless but I'm hoping it is FTTN so I may have a chance to buy a cheap house out there with decent speeds. That or install a VM at my parents in law and piggyback off their connection.
Probably a mix of FTTN and wireless, although new estates will probably be FTTP.
Hey all, was just connected today with a 100/40 plan through Telstra. Was great for part of the day (11am-3pm) getting close to those speeds, but soon after that it tanked hard to around 10/35 which in terms of download is less then what I used to get on copper. Are these peak time slowdowns a common thing?
No, they are not.
Are you on FTTP or FTTN?
FTTP, the exchange is also just down the road (100m away). As soon as it hit around 1am last night I got my full speed again, but after testing again at 10am I had slowed down to 18/35
On FTTP it doesn't matter how far away the exchange is, you'll always get full speeds. Distance isn't a factor.
However, your choice of ISP is. I've been with Telstra FTTP since March, and have never seen any slowdowns like you describe. I'd be contacting Telstra as there has to be an issue somewhere.
Condon finally on the map :)
Condon finally on the map :)
Awesome news, I know you've been waiting and hoping for a long time mate! :)
Have they released a timetable for other areas in Townsville, other than sometime in the next 3 tears. Still waiting, not too patiently, for Wulguru Exchange.
