Hi Guys,
So this is one i look closely into for two Reasons. Number one i live here to state the obvious and the second reason my job is working on the NBN.
This is a thread for me to put up my findings so far and for others from the same area or people that know about the rollout in the area to add there two cents worth.
I have included a Mud Map from what i have personally worked on or seen and know where current cables are running.
http://barbados.com.au/downloads/map.png
From what i can see so far i can see 3 possibilities.
1. As the POI is in Pinjarra this is a Main Haul for Bunbury to interconnect to for either (Fibre to the Node) Or Complete Brownfields Rollout in FTTH
2. Running along SW Highway there is a Wireless Tower Going up could be a possible feed for the first tower and then interlinking from there.
3. Links for Dalyellup. Currently FDH and 1 Multiport setup there with no back haul i dont think. This could come from Bunbury?
No Gear is in the exchange just cables.
The cable is currently hauled from The Exchange and along Blair St and some into Forrest Ave. There are new pits and duct works going in along the rest of forest ave and on Dodson road.
The works that are been done by Cable Layers Australia contracting to Syntheo.
From the MY NBN website there is currently 2 FSAMS Listed one been Dalyellup and the other still under a unknown status.
This can be found here

What do you guys think?
More Hauling started in Beach Road. No way this could be a back haul for anything other that Brown Fields.
Fibre Today was pushed down Doddson Road through to Forrest ave. There is also more ducting going in along Blair St where fibre has already been hauled. Another direction possibly?
Thanks for the update @BaDWoG
Good to see some work being done, even if it doesn't appear on the NBN coverage map.
I suspect this is the story around the nation, where Fibre is continued to be layed but work is not publicised.
Noticed some road works the other day in Glen Iris and there was a Telstra van parked across the road from it. Not sure if they were laying fibre though. Hopefully they are as the ADSL here is heavily congested (30 kb/s max at times)
Somebody also told me a week or two back that fibre had been hauled down Mininup road an railway parade?
Would be nice if it had, since I live in Withers, and we didn't even get a single top-hat in that roll-out by Telstra, so it seems all our ADSL comes from Gelorup exchange.
Gives me at least a glimmer of hope that FTTH maycome to our area...
Have seen the past few days what looks like more fibre being laid along Blair Street from BCF upto Mazda
I thought I saw them running cable under the railway track yesterday and joining cables into a pit. Fingers crossed this is all leading up to something NBN related.
Fibre Today was pushed down Doddson Road
More green fibre being laid today from Mazda to centre point
Hey Guys Sorry for no late updates,
Yes along the railway track to Dodson road and then up the south west highway to POI to Pinjarra.
They have been boring along Blair st with new duct. What i find its kinda weird because they laid cable and laid the same again. possibly different directions.
Unfortunately for all this is only a Transit Cable and more of a hopeful indication of things to come. As soon as Bunbury is in its build stage it will be passed to Downer EDI to complete the brown fields roll-out. Up to now Downer have not had Bunbury in there list to build a FSA. As soon as it is i will be contacted as my company will be assisting in the rollout. When we get instruction it will be the closest of Bunbury getting the NBN as we are setting up multiport tails in the street pits as well as FDH cabinet fixing.
Telstra are in no way doing any of the NBN rollout the only thing they will be assisting NBN to do is remove any decommissioned items from the pits to allow room or possibly there own work.
The cable going down Minninup is Gelorups Interconnect to Bunbury Exchange. I have checked recently in the PON in dalyellup and they still are inactive. Bunbury exchange still has no NBN equiptment. Once this is done i will most likely get the job to install the PON Cards as i did in dunsborugh.
The cable you guys currently seeing laid out is the Transit Cable. 144 Fibre.. When FSA (Brownfields Areas) are going to be connected you will see a 544 Cable been Hauled.. Huge big green one about 4 times the diameter of the one you guys have been seeing been hauled around bunbury at present.
A Hopeful thing i have seen is pits that were not asbestos to start off with have been replaced to allow for more room, i can only see a point in this because a multiport is kinda large.
the only one thing i have not worked out is the cable run along the beach to beach road.. I dont know of any other sub exchange around in that area. Im not sure if it was the larger cable i was talking about as i was only told by someone in the area.
I will keep checking the exchange over the coming weeks and see how its coming along.
Any other information you guys have keep posting.
Ohh and FTR if its Green... its NBN.
Grey another company like Amcom or the likes off
Blue Telstra Fibre
What's the realistic likelihood we'll get brownfields FTTH in Bunbury anyway (especially with the current lot in charge of NBNCo and the government)?
Hey guys sorry for the lack of reply lately, been extremely busy working on other lucky peoples NBN :(
ok so a quick update on the Bunbury Rollout at present.
I have been in contact with my internal guys from NBN no word yet, also the guys that will do the brownfields rollout (Downer) no word from the state NBN organizer as yet, he is hoping for it to happen here as well but no requests have landed on his desk.
Now as for work been done not to the knowledge of any of the other contractors.
Cable Layers Australia contracted by Syntheo are currently finishing a small haul on the SW highway once again unfortunately this is for the Transit network.
Alot of Pit replacements and alot of pits still open as they have stuffed lids etc but all so far from what i have seen in a Transit path.
As for the haul around Beach road i have not seen anything as yet, but will get a chance to lift a few lids and have a look asap.
As for work i have seen. There has been service marking on allot of the streets and verges about 2 weeks ago all leading too and from Pits so im assuming this could be a good sign. No other contractor such as downer knows about it but as they said could see be a good thing. I have also seen a few pits that were smashed and had guards there for the past 3 years not been removed but pits are still smashed and caved in but paint marks too and from these pits have been done.
Have you guys seen any changes as yet?
Thanks for the update BaDWoG.
I did see the Cable layers truck in Picton the other day. Finger crossed the NBN moves forward around here. ADSL Congestion around Glen Iris/Picton in particular is getting quite noticeable during peak times and a nice speed hike wouldn't be bad either.
MarcoP
That is unfortunatly the Transit cable and not the rollout that we need. Transit network and rollout network are two different setups.
too piss you off even more there currently doing some hauling on the bypass in the middle of the road near riverlea estate... so close but yet so far. This is only greenfields as it is servicestream doing the work.
wish they would just hurry the hell up already it was meant to have started last year but because syntho was not contracted to start bunbury only the transit network its not a previously signed contract so it wont be honored.
i'm heading down now to speak to the guys and see what they come up with.
So, any news???
Sorry Guys,
been meaning to post a update but have been flat out.
Ok So there is good and bad News.
The Bad but kind of good news is the Haul we seen them running along Blair ST Pictron Road etc was a back haul for the fixed wireless going live by the end of the week. This should cover most of East Bunbury , Picton , Glen Iris id say.
Ok so onto the next part.
NBN have had the transit network setup and active in Bunbury for over a Year.
Last week 2 Racks were installed in Bunbury exchange hosting a series of GPON cards Meaning Brownfields Fibre. This from discussions with NBN is enough for about 7000 Homes. So where it will be not sure, when not sure but they wont not do some brown fields now. If it is continued after that im not sure but is great news for some.
I know how to possibly get the ball rolling quicker for us with some great advice from the guys i talked to.
As soon as i have finished preparing what needs to be done ill get you all on board.
Any other things you guys have seen or heard that i haven't noted down?
7000 homes eh? That's a fair chunk of Bunbury getting FTTH then. (considering the greater bunbury area population was, last time I heard, about 10,000)
And even the fixed wireless is a good thing � I'd rather be "stuck" on fixed wireless than on copper of unknown quality.
Now all we gotta do is find out where in Bunbury is getting the FTTH roll-out...
Anybody got a map of how bunbury is divvied up by NBNCo into the various FSAMs etc? We might be able to guesstimate where the brownfields are from such a map.....
Yeah that will be interesting finding where the brownfields will be.
On another note, my FSAM is RFS for so called the other day to get a technician out to install the NBN boxes and the earliest a tech could come out is the 13th June, though rang today and manage to change it to the 6th June. So for me no internet at all or phone until then.
So everyone beware that it would be best as soon as your FSAM is RFS to call straight away.

Ouch. Definitely a case of ring up as soon as you can then...
Same node as I'll be on..... that's promising:-)
I have a question that may or may not have been already discussed (I'm new to this NBN stuff as my area, Scarborough, is a long way off). Anyways the question is, how long will someone in Bunbury have before they are forced onto the NBN? I have some friends who are not IT savvy at all and they have reported that it is 18 months away from about now.
18 months after nbn become available.
Well i finally had my switch over today. I'm on 25/5 with telstra. Only thing is that i asked for the speed boost to 50mbit/sec but had it declined. It's the first time I've heard of that happening. Anyone else know had that happen to them.? If so, was any reason given for it being declined? The sales rep couldn't tell me anything about why it was declined in my case.....
Jay-Cee, do you have any idea of the cable length to your house? If not maybe PM whirlpool user Rendrag and ask him nicely if he could SQ your line. Not sure he can still do it after NBN changeover but worth asking. If you are at the end of the cable run or there are bridge taps you may find that faster speeds are not attainable.
Are you getting the full 25/5 speeds on speedtest?
Hi all , latest news is Glen Iris is to be switched on 30th June for NBN , is that accurate , or just wishful thinking?
is that accurate , or just wishful thinking?
No still 2nd September as someone replied to your post last time you asked.
NBN is in caretaker mode because of elections so I don think there will be updates for awhile. Prob all of a sudden you will be informed around the 2nd
Pretty sure Glen Iris goes live June 30th as that is what the Telstra rollout document says which was updated on the 9th June, the finder.com.au info is accurate as of 20th February so it's outdated now.
Pretty sure Glen Iris goes live June 30th as that is what the Telstra rollout document says
Looks like this may be the new date. mynbn.info now shows this date after today's update from the nbn.
My mac attainable speed down through the modem when i first signed up showed as 37/2.5 with the line rate as 27/2.5
I did actually get the speed boost put on but the only difference has been that my line rate now matches my max attainable speed
I remember when i got my line tested originally it said there were bridge tappa on it. My understanding was that the copper would be remediated to remove these as part of the fttn roll out?
Good news , thanks for confirming all! :-)
Jay-Cee, It is my understanding from what I have read that the copper will only be repaired/replaced if it is unable to meet the minimum speed requirement of 25 megabits. Not even sure that is guaranteed.
Have you got multiple phone sockets in the house? If so have you tried the others?
Edit: 1 week after connection my sync has improved slightly to 95371/44199
MyNBN has been updated to display Glen Iris RFS to the 30th June, you can stop worrying now :)
3rd week without internet, 6 nbn Co teams have been out to my place already.
Hey guys,
I have moved to Busselton for a few months at this stage and it looks like they have started rolling out in this area. A few nodes are around and plenty of ground prepared next to current Pillars.
I was wondering if Busselton could be added to the current map you guys already have. I'm not sure if there are many on here who care enough for it to have its own post?

Build it and they will come. Start a thread and a map. Some people will check it out and join.
Lot of people in Bunbury without internet or home phones right now...
Yep, my phone has been running hot with NBN rollout related phone/internet issues. Its all a bit of a mess really
Build it and they will come. Start a thread and a map. Some people will check it out and join.
Ok cool. I went for a drive today and there were heaps of nodes! Only thought there were a couple but seems they have progressed quite a bit.
I'm trying to work out the whole map/how to work out where nodes will be etc by reading through this thread.
Any help would be awesome.
Got switched over yesterday with Telstra, alot of congestion between 9-11pm
Hey Jazza. I am getting switched over tomorrow....Will post results as well. Do you have to unplug your ADSL modem before they switch or just leave it and swap to NBN router after...assuming they sms etc to let you know its done.
I just left it in while they switched over and they wont sms you, I only knew they were done switching over because i saw their van leave the node
Here is the speedtest result if anyone is interested, it was done at 9:33pm
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5633550204
I'm on Telstra and it looks like there is clear congestion going on
Wow thats pretty crappy for 100/40 plan....I suppose the clue they are done is my internet wont work.
My 100/40 plan doesnt switch over until the 22nd, I'm on 25/5 for the time being
Why is that? I assumed if you contracted at 100/40 it would be immediate.

Thats what I thought too, but two phone calls to Telstra later and they said it would be activated on the 22nd

Yeah its pretty insane they throttle the crap out of vpn connections as well. I think I can barely do full hd without vpn and then when I switch to vpn it goes below 1 megabit on youtube. I checked if it was the vpn provider with my phones 4g and I recieive full speeds on that so it has to be fttn/iinet backhaul that is being upgraded soon.
Well connected an hour ago on 100/40 plan..Upload pretty good but download nowhere near it... Still after years of lucky to get up to 2mpb most days it certainly is better.. Interesting what tonight and congestion will bring.

Your modem should say what your max obtainable line rate is, maybe have a look? I know mine is 144 Down 55 Up
ah half an hour after I posted that something clicked in and went right up to 95/38. So all good. That's on 5gz wireless as well.
They've started the build here in Capel now too, have seen at least 1 pad being prepped near a pillar, will be interesting to see my little area with the Telstra cabinet, currently 180m of copper, that'll easily double since they will be adding a new pillar in.
Yep definite congestion in the evenings...Been getting right up close to 100/40 all day . Now its dropped to under 20...
