Was only getting 1.9MB/s max from Steam at 5pm. Around 8pm was able to get 5.8MB/s max. Haven't tried rebooting it yet to see whether the sync speed changes.
The Steam mirrors in the populated states are really congested and slow, try changing to SA and see if speed improves. I can't get more than around 1.5-2MB/s average from Steam using WA but SA peaks at 11MB/s
Signed up with Exetel for 25/5mbps plan, and got the Netcomm NF10WV VoIP modem/router off them ($79).
Took 3 weeks to get connected (I think NBNCo was to blame). Chased Exetel a few times, and found staff professional and knowledgeable about the technology and the provisioning process (I don't care *where* they are, as long as they know their stuff). Wait times on phone mostly between 0 and 5 minutes.
I'm on 6can07, but it seems my pillar is 100m from the green box (across an intersection), which adds a lot of distance to everyone on that node. Getting 65Mbps up, 31Mbps down sync speed (bit lower than hoped). Did multiple speed tests during peak hour and off-peak, and get ~23Mbps down, 4.5Mbps up in both cases. Way faster and more stable than my old "Belong" 5Mbp ADSL2 connection.
VoIP works fine, but there is an issue where users don't get sent their credentials automatically, so it took a bit of chasing.
Can recommend Exetel so far, due to low monthly fees, $0 connection fee, low international call rates (WAY lower than Iinet and others) and good customer service.
Alright! I have an install date for 6CAN-02-01.
The appointment for connecting your NBN service has been booked for 8:00 AM � 2:00 PM on Monday, 27 June 2016. You do not need to be present for this appointment.
CrashPlan has been running for 22.5hrs now (installed on my 24/7 NAS) and has uploaded 91.5GB thus far, so averaging ~9Mbps throughput over that time. Not too shabby!
There can be no doubt that this is better than the ADSL service you may have had before so that's great, however....
..... if that was 100/40 FTTP what amount of time would you expect it would take? My FTTP 100/40 has been real life near consistent 95-7/34-37. If the 1GB of FTTP had any chance of being activated � it is available now of FTTP � the 1000/400 would be much quicker again and future upgrades to 40-60Gb/s would be even better obviously. Sadly none of that will become available to FTTN customers because it is highly unlikely to go much further than what is available with the current build -physically unable to and any upgrade that may be will be very expensive.
There is only one way to change that if the Australian public want to even for those on the current FTTN build....the election. With the prospect of spending another $30B on top of the $56/57B currently proposed neither political party will even consider trying to change what transpires from this election...LNP FTTN, Labor FTTP... the choice is ours to make.
..... if that was 100/40 FTTP what amount of time would you expect it would take?
About the same. The upload is limited by CrashPlan's bandwidth, not mine =P
About the same. The upload is limited by CrashPlan's bandwidth, not mine =P
Software/app providers will make solid business decisions to be competitive and upgrade their products to the capability of technical limitations of the mediums they can operate on and this is one of the key objectives of the original FTTP NBN Plan. The ceiling is the limit for them, raise the ceiling and watch them go...
This problem has existed for city based co's with regional and outer suburban offices and as one would expect they unfortunately have to run at lowest common denominator level to operate efficiently.
Ran into some problems today. Upstream SNR is jumping up and down quite a lot causing the upstream rate to flutter. Not sure what may be causing this. I've had a solid 4-5 days of uptime until now.
Update: Back to normal now. Looks like techs may have been working on a line somewhere or problem at exchange.

What problems are you having with your NBN in Queens Park and are you with iinet or Telstra ?
Who is your provider it might be a technical issue at the Cannington X change the CVC might not be working properly
6CAN-07-05 here.
===============background=================
havnt booked NBN yet.
Had no internet for the whole May month. Got Nake DSL in early June.
Signed up with iinet.
3.5KM away from exchange.
sync rate:
0.8mbps up
5.1 mbps down
===========================================
However, my sync rate drops from time to time.
during writing this post, i had one drop(disconnect)
and when i am back online. the sync rate is either 0.5/0.5 or 1.5/0.5 or 1.2/0.3 (down/up mbps)
it happens like 5+ times a days now. sometimes i have 0.5/0.5 for whole day. sometimes it is 5.1/0.8 (which is the best case for my location anyway)
===========================================
really afraid to upgrade, since i saw some one lost internet while waiting for connection.
and the progress for some ppl seems so chaotic and problematic for me from the thread. (except some lucky ppl).
===========================================
Just FWIW still experiencing zero CVC congestion on TPG
http://puu.sh/pzhan/1812f3dbda.png
Being able to upload at 5MB/s is a godsend
(still would have preferred FTTP)
That's great Duideka. What app/program did you use to monitor this? The TPG app is horrendous and can't load.
TPG user here too and so far so good thankfully. Happy for a fairly decent speed hovering on 10-11mbps for basic NBN. Hopefully I can afford 100mbps one day.
So who is the pick of the NBN ISPs at this current point in time? In terms of customer service and of course internet service?
Are there any feel good stories on 6-CAN? For eg dodgy 1mbit connection on adsl but a nice 10mbit after upgrading to NBN?
Have the issues mentioned previously regarding 6-CAN-08-20/21 been resolved? Kinda waiting on some fixes before I dive in.
Thanks

That's impressive throughput for 24 hours :D
I'm still grinding away at my CrashPlan upload. 744GB of files uploaded thus far, though that reduces quite impressively to only 383GB uploaded after data de-duplication and compression.

1. Pretty much everyone on shitty <5 Mbit connections is better off on the NBN, once they get there.
2. Someone in this thread on 6CAN-08-20 has been connected, however I still cannot get connected. I call Telstra and NBNco every week and nothing.
I'm on 6CAN-08-21 as of yesterday.
iiNet 25Mb plan. Had good speeds all night.
Here's a screen shot of my old ADSL2 and NBN speedtest.
https://postimg.org/image/483ibddav/
I'm really happy so far. My ADSL was stable just really really slow.
can you share modem sync details ? how far are you from the node ? which modem are you using ? thanks.
Modem is synced at-
D: 28.00Mbps
U: 6.4Mbps
NBN guy said I was 450m away from the node.
I'm using the iiNet supplied TG-1 modem. Seems ok.
thanks for the info however it looks like your cable run is going round the block as at 28meg down you should be 1.5kms from the node.
the 28mbps sync means he's on the 25/5 plan
Correct.
Opted for the 25Mb plan because it's 8x faster than what I had. When this feels slow I can upgrade to a faster plan.
then a/c to previous posts how come there is so much diff between sync speeds and plan speeds ?
Currently experiencing the known DNS resolve slowness ~10-15 to resolve www.reddit.com. The modem syncs @ 145/42 as I am quite close the node, line rate is 28/6.4 which is what I am paying for. When I tested speedtest a few weeks ago it got a solid 22/5 mb which I was happy with.

6CAN-07 here with iinet
sync speed consistently drop below 0.5/0.5 almost unusable.
why is that?
My NBN saga (6CAN-08-20):
20th May � RFS
20th May � signed up with iinet. Appointment date 2nd June.
2nd June � 1st appointment. Order held. NBN Co core network shortfall
11th June � Remediation work completed on network shortfall. Booked 2nd appointment date of 16th June
16th June � 2nd appointment. New Appointment Required � Access Seeker or End User missed the Appointment window. BS � I was home all the time. Besides, all work is done at the node. Re-scheduled for 23rd June
23rd June � 3rd appointment. Order held. NBN Co core network shortfall. WTF? No idea on how long it will take this time to remediate. And will they mess up the fourth appointment? I wait with bated breath.
NBN guy actually did come inside my house and hooked up various devices to my phone line.
Was just as well too because the first port he tried at the node was faulty.
He went back and forth between my house and the node about 4-5 times.

I am to be on 6-CAN-08-20 and was had a rescheduled appointment for this morning. No show and no connection yet. My guess is they screwed me again.

oh no. given i am on the same node i dare say i will get the same rubbish reason when i ring TPG shortly.
I didn't get connected until the following morning after the NBN guy was at my place.
He left at 1pm and I was connected about 9am the next morning.
is anyone here actually connected on 6-CAN-08-20 successfully?
Maybe not, I had thought that limmey was connected after his post a few weeks ago but I guess not!
And will they mess up the fourth appointment? I wait with bated breath.
but they didn't need to dig up your front lawn and you didn't need to rewire your house... :)
well. according to TPG my NBN install on 6CAN08-20 was successfully completed today. Sync is still on ADSL encapsulation at 8Mbps/384kbps ... now the fun will start i'm sure as i will have to go through TPG support to start this horrible process again!
That doesn't sound right. They had to disconnect my ADSL in order to connect me to the NBN.
The second he connected it to the ports at the node my ADSL was gone.
I live on Station St and just got NBN installed yesterday. I tested it out and got 95mpbs down, 40mbps up. Awesome.
Its peak hour now � about 9pm, and I am getting 12mpbs down. Suffice to say, this is laaame. I am on hold with iiNet now but will be kicking up as much of a stink as possible to get them to do something � lay more fibre � I don't care. Just get me something faster than f*ing ADSL2.
Those of you with issues on 6-CAN-08-20/21, does your adsl work in the mean time, or have they left you with no internet service while they investigate? Maybe I should wait a bit longer...
If they come out and connect you to the NBN and you have issues or it doesn't work, you can't get reconnected to ADSL.
You're stuck until they fix it.
hi guys any one connected to 6CAN-03-08 ? the one in front of pot black ?

Dan's black cat is correct, but my pair was never disconnected on my appointment date (seems so long ago...) and my crappy ADSL still works.

They can only provision more CVC in order to ease congestion. As you are still getting 12mbps during peak period I'd say they'll do nothing until they get more people signed up in the area and more people complain as they are only getting 1mbps. And from then it can take a lot longer than it should to get the provisioning sorted (iinet drag their feet sending in request to nbn).
Anyone on TPG in Cannington getting upload congestion?
No problems at all with downstream speed, but upload seems strangely slow.
http://www.speedtest.net/res

-edit- looks better after a modem reboot for some reason
http://www.speedtest.net/result/5427820367.png
First slowdown I've noticed since being connected (other than when my sync speed briefly dropped)
Maybe my router was just overheating or something, uploaded 80GB in the past few hours
Currently getting 4 down and 35 up. iiNet 6CAN04 haven't had a issue in awhile. Unusable for online multiplayer. Black ops 3 was shitting itself red bar one second and then green and again red just a wave of lag.
Good news to those on 6CAN08-20. I finally got connected today after 3 failed installs. Tech came in and saw i was still jumpered to ADSL and not the node.
900m from node by street distance, not sure where it goes though. getting full 48Mbps download on speedtest and full 18 up. using TPG.

Perhaps there is still hope for the rest of us.
Love watching Steam downloads running at 11.8MB/s. Figure that's pretty much my 100Mbps connection maxed out � 94.4Mbps of actual data plus overhead traffic.
Ive been a month or more with no net as adsl or net was disconnected before the first network shortfall. Finder says im 6cann-08-28.
I was told last week our issue was fixed and they will be out next week to try again.
hey guys new here.
i just got nbn from iinet and the speeds have been terrible. i can drop to as low as 1 mbps at night or go as high has 67 mbps. the connection is very unstable and much slower then i expected. i am currently on 100/40 speed. i called iinet they told me that nbn is restricting speeds in the beckenham area and maybe some other areas and they notified the company on 16 june and they approved it?????????. what is all this? are they just lieing?
I (allegedly) get connected TOMORROW to 6CAN-02-01.
Will let you all know how it goes.

Highly doubt they are "restricting" speeds, I'm sure if they were restricting speeds they would cap us all at a certain speed not 1mbps then 60mbps and back down to 4mbps. It's congestion I guess cause between 8pm till 1-2am I get 5mbps to 11mbps down and 32-35mbps up.
So you get 5 to 11 Mbps per second between 8pm till 2am that's terrible. Thats unacceptable. I got a consistent speed of 12 to 15 on adsl. I don't need speeds to be 40Mbps at 2pm in the afternoon I need fast broadband when I get home from work. Why aren't people outraged at nbn? They marketed it's as the solution to our internet problems
iiNet don't have enough capacity on the 6CAN POI, lots of customers complaining above.
Smooth sailing on TPG so far
http://www.speedtest.net/result/5432188601.png (4:30pm Sunday)
Hello All,
Brand new here, and had a question for my fellow Cannington-ites.
I would like to change over to our new FTTN NBN � for real this time (have already been changed over to the NBN twice so far, when their techs swap the wrong pair!)
I use my landline phone quite a bit, so I am cautious about changing from a guaranteed-to-work landline to a might-work VOIP system. (I have tried iiNet's iiPhone in the distant past and it was terrible).
So my questions is: How close does your new VOIP system match a good quality PSTN connection? Especially in the evening, when the congestion level increases. Particularly interested in iiNet, but would like to know everyone's experience.
Thanks
hey duideka so would you recommend i switch to tpg?
Good news to those on 6CAN08-20. I finally got connected today after 3 failed installs. Tech came in and saw i was still jumpered to ADSL and not the node.
I called Telstra and still no luck for me I'm afraid. :(

thanks mate should get good speeds then! or no connection at all :P
Has anyone from 6CAN-05 put in an NBN order yet?
Tracker is showing that it went RFS on 24th of June.

I put in an order with iiNet on Friday afternoon.
I put my order in on Saturday afternoon with iiNet for 06-CAN 05
Please let us know how you progress, I'm holding off for the moment. My node only has 102 connections though so I may get lucky.
I put in an order with TPG on Friday afternoon (I'm currently with iiNet) for 6CAN-05. An hour later I had an email response with an appointment booked for 5th of July.
I was advised that I need to be available to let them into my premises. I thought with FTTN there was no installation of any equipment into my home. Do they just need access to my property? Can I maybe just leave my gate open for them? Otherwise I'm going to have to take the day off of work.

Do you have a current working line on PSTN/ADSL? If so then it'll just be a jumpering appointment 7:00am-2:00pm and you the end-user do not need to be home. If a Standard Install is required then a person over 18 years of age will need to be home and the appointment times are 8:00am-12:00pm and 1:00pm to 5:00pm
Do you have a current working line on PSTN/ADSL?
Yeah. I have ADSL that works.

My appointment is between 13:00 and 17:00. So they're sending someone for a standard install? Why would they do that if I have ADSL currently?
NBN guy actually did come inside my house and hooked up various devices to my phone line.
Was just as well too because the first port he tried at the node was faulty.
He went back and forth between my house and the node about 4-5 times.

Perhaps NBNCo might not have any records of an active pair at the premise? Your provider would know why it was booked as an afternoon appointment for FTTN. i dont know why they'd do that
Hey guys.
Just a question, when you got sync to the node, were you able to connect in the same day, or was there a delay before you were able to obtain an Internet connection via the service?
Got my service activated today, got home and had sync. Still not been able to get a WAN IP and get Internet going.
It's iiNet, so I see it being a non-PPPoE service, using DHCP/IPoE, but not getting a DHCP lease. I've tried a few different things, but just not getting one. All i can think is that the port on the Node is not yet configured.
Done some packet sniffing, can definitely see the DHCP requests going out, nothing coming back. I will employ more patience and wait for iiNet to at least tell me the service is ready i guess :)
EDIT:
Sorted, iiNet needed to do a port reset and it came straight up. I'm using a pretty shitty modem, DSL-2877AL and I have sync @ 65/35 on a 100/40 service.
Going to try a better modem. It's just in bridge, what do people recommend?

do you know how far you are from the node mate ?
I would have said less than 300 Metres if I am indeed connected to 6CAN-02-01, which I am fairly certain of. Those modems aren't really approved modems, and run a pretty shitty chipset.
thanks mate please update us when you change the modem, as a/c to the 13db attenuation, theoretically you are 900m from the node.
Yeah, that's what I figured as well. The node is literally out the front of my house, so cannot possibly be that long. The only other factor is the wiring and/or crosstalk due to the co-existence period. All the internal wiring is less than a year old, and i am running on a brand new lead-in to the pit.
Also, ANNEX B or ANNEX A for FTTN? I've tried to force it to A, but keeps going to B. Probably just the shitty modem. Will see if I can collect one today. I don't want an expensive one, just one I can put in bridge mode, with a good DSL chipset, and allows me to set a default gateway for the LAN interface on it.
Sorted, iiNet needed to do a port reset and it came straight up.
Not trying to put this down but I experienced similar when my FTTP was due. I had to get back to them a number of times and strangely each time they did a port reset it was great (half the speed I paid for) ...for a couple of days only though. Makes one wonder if they control this stuff....
Just got my NBN connected through Optus at 6CAN-02-14. Only switched to Optus for the EPL have been using iinet for 13 years prior.
- Scheduled my appointment on the 3/6/16 and was told it would be installed on Friday 17/6/16
- Friday the 17/6/16 I waited all day and no one showed up so I called them up and I got told on that date they were still connecting cables or something along those lines. They rescheduled me for Tuesday 28/6/16
- Tuesday 28/6/16 I finally got connected my speeds are 24 down and around 4.7 up
http://www.speedtest.net/result/5436529437.png
I wanted the 100/40 speed package and asked Optus and they told me I have to wait 5 days for my details to be updated before I could switch packages, what kind of crap is that.
thanks mate please update us when you change the modem, as a/c to the 13db attenuation, theoretically you are 900m from the node.
As I said in this post whrl.pl/ReEHdq
You can be quite close to a node (even the house next door to one) but you are in another distribution area � so your pillar could be up to 1.4Km from you � closer to the exchange. You have to know which DA you are in....
https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au/
and then find out where the pillar for that DA is located (typically in one of the corners closest to the exchange..... that will give you an indication of distance from your pillar (and node).
sorry whats a DA :-/
sorry whats a DA :-/
It is a distribution area � the area within which all Telstra cable connects to a single pillar. The pillar is like the junction of the trunk of a tree (main cable back to the exchange) and it's branches (all smaller cables running out from there to residences which are further away from the exchange).
The pillar is generally in the corner of that area � see the bottom half of my post here whrl.pl/ReD3kc
Finally!
Yes. It's been a Journey. Tal from iiNet even called me this afternoon to offer his congratulations. Haha.
Finally! Only took Telstra what, 8 years?
Telstra???? its NBN delivering isn't it (even though Telstra are contracted to manage the rollout)
Unless Labor had committed to NBN none of this would be happening at all certainly not with Telstra's monopolistic appraoch. Shame they didn't stick to FTTP instead of FTTN (6CAN Cannnigton was the next part of the 'mushroom effect' rollout after 6VIC afaik) and the reality is what everyone gets now is as good as it gets. FTTP might get upgraded if they are lucky but won't hold our breath on that either...at least it can be upgraded, FTTN can't.
Am in 6147 Langford. Telstra NBN DOWN AGAIN since 2 hours ago. These guys don't seem to be able to get their act together
Telstra???? its NBN delivering isn't it (even though Telstra are contracted to manage the rollout)
He bought a apartment that didn't come with a phone line and had to struggle with Telstra for several months to get them to do anything about it, until you get the phone line you can't deal with NBNco.

thanks mate, i found out where my pillar and node are. node is 350 from my home and the pillar is right next to it. so what this is mean in terms of speed ?

Thanks..just confirms how stupid this FTTN copper idea is...wasn't a problem with FTTP.
node is 350 from my home and the pillar is right next to it. so what this is mean in terms of speed ?
It ***should*** mean you will sync pretty close to 100Mbps but only if the lines are in good condition, the joints are also in good condition, you don't have any split pairs in the route (I do), the pits don't fill with water when it rains, your house wiring is in good condition and not "star wired"..... etc...etc
Basically FTTN is a cr@p shoot as to what you will get as the quality of the copper varies from reasonable to absolute garbage only suitable as copper scrap :(
Almost no preventative maintenance of the copper over the last decade means it is very poor (indeterminate) condition.
thanks mate, my ADSL syncs at 19/1 meg, and goes solid for months, before i have to reboot my router for some other reason. i am with iiNet.
i am with iiNet.
Well good luck with NBN � I'm with iiNet as well but won't be staying with them for NBN � they can't manage their CVC capacity (not even accepting when they have issues) and updates are too little, too late.
I'm happy with my ADSL � but won't accept the couple of Mbps many get on NBN at peak with iiNet.
me thinks the same, looks like telstra and TPG are better.
Just had NBN FTTN connected today on 6CAN-02-15.
ISP = Exetel. Speeds seem great. Better than 6Mbps I was on before.

great, what are your sync speeds from the modem? how far are you from the node?
I'm with iiNet on 6CAN-08-24 and just received my TG-1 router today, signed up 20th June
This pos router can't bridge to my r7000
Not sure when I'll get connected on the iiNet task post it says
"NBN Application � ACK" 29 Jun 2016 01:01PM � by System
This pos router can't bridge to my r7000
Yeah, this put me off getting one as well. There is a lot of commentary on WP about the lack of Bridge Mode on the TG-1. I've been searching for a NBN/FTTN modem/router I can bridge. Currently using the D-Link 2877-AL which bridges in 2 seconds.
I'm keen to try another one, which has the Broadcom chipset however. So i've put a bid down on the Technicolour TG799vac which is basically the Telstra Gateway Max which can be bridged.
Technicolour TG799vac which is basically the Telstra Gateway Max
If it is the Telstra Gateway Max be aware that it uses custom Telstra firmware � you can't do a lot of things you can with the TG799vn v2 (that's the full retail version). You can't change the DNS on the Telstra one.... not sure if the Bridge mode is disabled. You can't even get a user manual for the Telstra version :(
Suggest you look at full retail devices � not those supplied by ISPs (Optus lock theirs as well by the way).
Our net is now fixed. Techs did an awesome job.
Turns out nbn ready smart wiring panel in our garage was wired wrong.
Worked fine for adsl though not nbn.
Getting 25/5 cause that's what i pay for but i saw the max sync was about 45mbit. Must be distance to pillar etc
You can't change the DNS on the Telstra one.... not sure if the Bridge mode is disabled.
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a right PoS.
Sounds like a right PoS.
It, and the various other ISP supplied (subsidised?) modem routers, supply the bare minimum to get the end user on line with their service and the least issues. Many are pre configured and even settings locked so end users can't play (saves on support costs!) and therefore will perform adequately for most users "out of the box". The hardware, including chipset, are often first class in these devices � just the firmware is crippled to the ISP's specification.
If you are the type that wants to adjust things, change things or just front end to a better router (which will be a large percentage of those on Whirlpool) � then you will only get frustrated.
The only option is to purchase normal retail products where you can see all the specs up front. Unfortunately with FTTN requiring VDSL2 with vectoring the choice is limited (still early days and manufacturers are yet to catch up) � the best option appears to be a very expensive modem/router and throw away your existing modem/router :(
Yeah. All I want is a modem which can do:
- Bridge Mode
- Broadcom Chipset
- FTTN VDSL compatible.
I then have a Ubiquiti ERPoE-5 doing the routing.
Struggling to find something which can do what I want. The D-Link i have now is doing a good job, but I just want to see if I can get a higher sync rate with a better ADSL chip.
The D-Link i have now is doing a good job, but I just want to see if I can get a higher sync rate with a better ADSL chip
I doubt it will make much difference � but would be interesting to try I agree. The well respected (and expensive) ASUS AC68U uses the same chipset as your device � and they are renowned for good performance (I've used an ASUS 66 myself).
It is just too early for the relatively inexpensive modem/routers to have support for FTTN as yet � mainly the expensive devices have support for FTTN at this stage. Those where profit margins are lower aren't going to retool for a new production until there is an established user base.
He bought a apartment that didn't come with a phone line and had to struggle with Telstra for several months to get them to do anything about it, until you get the phone line you can't deal with NBNco.
Technically his apartment came with a phone line, just that the lead-in from the pit was only a 5 pair to begin with. I believe there is now a 5 pair, 10 pair and 30 pair all running in the same conduit to the MDF now!
Whoever did the comms design & install (or lack thereof) on the apartment building should be held responsible as the communications alliance and telstra guidelines state you need a ratio of 1.6 pairs to dwellings to be pulled to any MDF. If that had have been done to begin with, it would have been fine.
Coupled with the fact you can't authorize that work to be done as a tenant and it has to go through the strata corporation and be paid by someone (techs don't work for free), it's amazing it even got done. I think NBN paid for it for free just to get this site off their books; as there was probably another 10+ tenants screaming at them. :)

keep me updated on your experience with TPG please?
Can anyone tell me where 6CAN-06-11 would be physically located?
I'm supposed to be activated today between 1PM and 5PM, fingers crossed. I'll let you all know how I go. I'm on 6CAN-05 and I just signed up with TPG.

Finally got connected. Nobody from NBN knocked on my door or contacted me. I had to find out the hard way that I was switched over when my ADSL2+ stopped working.
Here's a speedtest. Not too bad speed, I was hoping to hit what I had paid for though (100/40)
Haven't seen a single person on FTTN WA getting 100/40. Are there many?

Depends on your modem. Some will show you the Line attainable rate, which I think represents the maximum sync rate your line is capable of.

i bit the bullet and got myself a D-link taipan, after realising my 1 year old billion "so-called fibre ready" modem can't be use for VDSL. I will try to get some figures tonight and raise the question again. Thanks again.

Going to talk to internode about it, I've been with them for a long time but their plans leave me wanting.

I applied with a NuSkope on Monday 27th June and the connection was activated a week later on 4th June.
Unfortunately there was a service fault and it didn't work immediately.
A tech came out today and "reset the node", internet is now working at 86/32, approx 400m from node.
Hey guys
I justed wanted to post my nbn situation. Might help someone.
I got nbn connected with iiNet on 23 June. I live in Beckenham btw. It was a horrible experience. They were doing upgrades to the bandwidth because they don't have enough capacity. Thus the speeds were terrible. my adsl was faster. I tried 4 different modems and only dlink ac750 connected after the a replacement modem and firmware upgrade, but it's such a bad modem I didn't wana use it and returned it. And I didn't wana buy the iiNet standard modem. So we didn't have internet for a while. After many calls to iiNet I called them and told them I am not paying them a dime and to cancel my service. They agreed and canceled my services.
I signed up with tpg on 29 June. On 1 July (Friday) they debited there advance payment. On 5 July I got the modem (Tuesday) and apparently got connected too them even though The email they sent that day said I would get connected 2 days from now. My speeds are steady with Ethernet at 80Mbps down and 30 Up. The modem they supplied is excellent it got connected within 5 mins hasel free. I find the WiFi range is exceptionally good and speeds on wifi are ok. I get 40Mbps down and 30 up.
Personally so far my experience with tpg is excellent. A+ from me.
BTW can someone help me with figuring out where is the node is in Beckenham. I wana know the distance from. My place.

Hi mate, I have been looking at NuSkope as an option (am in Doubleview), what were the pings like on your speed test? And did speed test think you were in Perth or east coast?
I'm only asking because I was told all NuSkope traffic was routed via east coast (Sydney or Melbourne, can't remember which)

you can either find it on exchange2me, or calculate from the line attenuation
Just found the node. I must be like 50 meters away and I am getting 80 download. Should I just accept it? Shouldn't I be getting like 90?
there are so many facts can affect the speed. although the distance is the main and more commonly reason....
which area are you located in mate ?
Beckenham tpg
Hi mate, I have been looking at NuSkope as an option (am in Doubleview), what were the pings like on your speed test? And did speed test think you were in Perth or east coast?
Speedtest detects as Melbourne but tracerts go through Sydney.

Anyone on 6CAN-03-04?
I'm still undecided on which RSP to sign up to.
Been an iiNet customer for a long time but hearing some people here with issues on iiNet but not on TPG makes me think twice.
I've just received an email from NBN.co saying its available, and TPG have done a mail drop as well.
Going to talk to internode about it, I've been with them for a long time but their plans leave me wanting.
Talked to Internode, they know less than Jon Snow about NBN being available in my area (Bentley) They couldn't even find my street.
I'm going to switch to TPG if Internode doesn't pull up their game.
Bahh
Do not get nbn with iiNet. I am warning you. You will regret it. I highly suggest you choose tpg or internode perhaps if you aren't inclined toward tpg. Opus may be another good choice. However they are charging slightly more. And telestra prices are incomprehensible.
anyone on 6-CAN-05 on TPG? wondering how long it took you guys to get setup from adsl2, we just registered 2 days ago
Talked to Internode, they know less than Jon Snow about NBN being available in my area (Bentley) They couldn't even find my street.
They check the address with NBN so it is not up to them. NBN is a mess...
I'm with Internode on 6CAN-04-09, I put application the day my area went RFS which was Saturday and been connected on Friday next week. No problems here. Their support is good as per my experience.

This may be unrelated as I'm not in Cannington, but I'm leaving iiNet due to ridiculous congestion in peak hours.
Cannington seems OK for bandwidth, so far. Not noticed too much of a slowdown, or any packetloss. Worst i've seen is 10Mbps.

Yep me too, from Saturday.
Managed to get my ADSL to sync without any dialtone so it definitely wasn't NBNco after all. Speed is about 10 times less than normal with huge line loss.
Back to the phone queue.
hey guys, i live in bentley (not far from bentley hospital).
I've just received an email that my area is NBN ready.
I'm currently with westnet.
Is it worth changing ISP? im thinking of TPG. A friend of mine is with them and he said he's never had problem with them.
I have checked speed estimation my location http://www.adsl2exchanges.com.au, its about 10.6mb
TPG has the $59.99 standard 12mb unlimited download package. I think that's perfect for me.
Or can you guys let me know which ISP has better deal?
Thanks
your estimation for 10.6mb down is probably for ADSL. for FTTN is should be a lot higher as the fiber is coming down to the node then copper to your premises. unfortunately there is no real way of knowing estimated speeds on FTTN until you get connected.
what does your ADSL sync at ?
Hi Ahmer,
My adsl 2 download speed is between 5 � 6.5mb. Rarely go up to 7mb.
Upload speed is pathetic 0.1mb
well i guess, if it cant get any worse you might be better of on FTTN. we shall we waiting for results :P
McKay St [next to Curtin] is ready. I'm a pensioner, small user, just need 10GB or so and a portable home ph. What/who do you recommend?
Dodo Internet is pretty cheap. $29.90 for 10gig. however there might be some startup costs.
Has anyone had to wait "up to 48 hours" after being advised by iiNet that their FTTN service was active?
I am in 6-CAN-05 and am migrating from iiNet Naked DSL to FTTN. Currently can only sync with the Naked Service.
I think my friends in Cape Town (iiNet support) are b.s.ing me.
Has anyone had to wait "up to 48 hours" after being advised by iiNet that their FTTN service was active?
No, that doesn't sound right. If iiNet have advised you the FTTN service is active, it means (unless in mistake or error on iiNets behalf) that a field tech has informed NBNCo that that your pair has been jumpered and the work is complete.
You should be now syncing to the Node.
In my case, I was advised of the install date, and on the install date when I came home I had sync on the modem (I had no DSL/Internet at all previously). iiNet informed me it was active less than 24hours later.
Sounds like something may have gone amiss. Call iiNet early tomorrow morning, Eg: 6:30AM and speak to someone.
Spot on R1ch4rd � Jumpering issues. Now I need to wait for someone to do it properly. In the meantime I have been promised some compensation as I am now being charged for the 100/40 plan.
cheap plans. 1st month free.

Great prices, but no POP in WA. All traffic is routed via Sydney, so not so good for gamers in WA.
would this affect if you are not a gamer?
I'm on 6CAN03-12 (Wilson south of Leach Highway). Same issue that NBN says ready to go, but ISP sites say not available. I notice addresses north of leach highway come up as ok on the ISP sites (you can plug in a bunch of addresses say into telstra or iinet or optus to figure out what nodes are available for connections).
My own thought is that the NBN will not release nodes until the copper is up to scratch. But no-one (even the ISPs) appear to know what's going on. An email from NBN themselves indicated that it could take up to Xmas 2016. Seems to me that the NBN rollout site is lying.
would this affect if you are not a gamer?
No. Browsing and downloading is fine. I did however buy a PS4 and was going to try on-line gaming but I'll give it a skip for now.
Quick general consensus question � TPG for general browsing/Netflix, good enough?
Price/datawise even the bottom tier offer is a billion miles ahead of my iiNet 2+ connection. Having sussed out the location of my node, I'm warily wagering I'm about 700 cable metres from the connection, which still pegs me better off.
Heck, does local congestion even go down to the 3Mbit level? I'd be ecstatic to maintain 4 and above.
Still fine with iiNet. Just changed my modem to a technicolour gateway max. Went from 65Mb to 85Mb and can pull 75Mbps no worries.
Guys it seems tpg is performing better than iiNet in CAN. Didn't tpg buy iiNet? So at which point will they share technology and therefore offer the same performance as they will be sharing the same infrastructure? And also offer same plans? They must still be separate at the moment, just wondering if it's worth going from iiNet dsl to tpg NBN if they will just merge everything soon anyway. Or maybe they will continue to operate separately

Looks like iiNet and Internode are buried in bureaucracy when they want to upgrade capacity....
See my post here..... whrl.pl/ReFzYZ
and David Hunt's answer..... whrl.pl/ReFAJy and my subsequent posts....
If people in the NOC have to jump through hoops to get an upgrade approved then there is no point in remaining with iiNet or Internode.
Teoh clearly trusts his own people (TPG staff ) more and they can perform necessary upgrades in a timely manner whereas iiNet and Internode are being hamstrung.
Plenty of new start-ups out there with the same philosophy that MM and Simon Hackett had � so have a look around I'd suggest.
so i took the dive and signed TPG to 100/40.
Got jumpered on this morning. Didn't receive my NBN activation notice but the service seems to be active.
[URL=http://www.speedtest.net
Is this speed normal?
please login to your modem and check your max attainable rate and attenuation, your uploads are pretty good, i would assume TPG might have to do a reset or tweak your connection. please share results with us as well.
Heck, does local congestion even go down to the 3Mbit level? I'd be ecstatic to maintain 4 and above.
Oh yeah, welcome to the new world of superfast broadband � 4mbps!
So is everyone's NBN FTTN going alright since connected?
I recorded 13 drop outs on my first day and still averaging around 10-12 drop outs a day. When I say drop out I'm talking about 'SYNC' actually dropping.
Quite over it, but this is what we signed up for, Fraudband, Malcolm Turnbull's Mess (MTM), Nortorious Broadband Network (NBN).
talk with your provider.
any more than 5 sync drops a day is considered a line fault that nbn should be looking into.

My theory exactly... My uploads are the same as ASV's, and downloads slightly slower... FTTN at 12/1 will be a huge upgrade, and I don't know what I'd do with 25/5....
Of course, Amnet (my current provider) don't have anything to offer me, and even if they did, their plans are not even close to being competitive, so now I have to find a new ISP...

You are not alone my friend, I'm on 6CAN05 and I've been having dropouts at least 4-5 times a day and every time it drops it takes at least a few minutes (if lucky) to get reconnected by itself without rebooting router. MY thread is here /forum-replies.cfm?t=2550357

Hmm your local speed doesn't seem too good. I'm on the same plan and get 23/4.5 on the TPG speed test.
I haven't tried international yet.
at those sync speeds you are either a) something is not right with the jumpering b) TPG needs to reset the node c) you are just too far away from the node.
Telstra said the NBNco works on 08-20 should be completed by August 2.
I suspect the issue is confined only to the pillar CANN:5, not the other one, since I know people in this thread on the same ADA have been connected.
So how are the cursed 6CAN-08-20/21 connections going, has everything been fixed now?
Got an appointment for the 2nd of August. Fingers crossed.
I've been on 6CAN-08-21 for a bit over a month.
Had no issues at all. It can slow down a bit around 8-9pm but doesn't seem to cause me any dramas. Netflix still streams fine etc.
Way better than my old ADSL 2 which was borderline unusable.
Something definitely wrong tonight. Syncing at 290kbps, max download around 20kb/s. NBN install can't come soon enough!

Well some good news. After years of crappy internet, finally I have a decent connection.
Dialup days were typical.
But when adsl came out I couldn't get it due to pair gain.
When I could finally get it, I synced at 1.2mbit.
I put up with that for 10 years til I bought a new modem and was able to tweak SnR to sync at about 2.5mbit with dropouts. Stayed with that for years as it was better than stable 1.2mbit. Lodged faults in the past but was told my line was bad quality and passed underground power lines which increased interference and nothing could be done about it.
When I heard CAN was going live I read a few horror stories about my node 6CAN-08-20 so I decided to wait a few weeks until all of the problems have been sorted.
Couple of weeks ago I took the plunge. Today was the install date and I fully expected to get home and not see the sync light on but there it was. After what I'm used to I was prepared for some sort of line issues and it taking days to fix, leaving me with no internet.
17.5mbit down and 6.5mbit up on the iiNet 25/5 plan. Couldn't be happier.
Sorry for the life story but I guess it shows there are some good stories out there. After my internet history I'm not as fussy or demanding as some. Absolutely stoked to have something above 10mbit which is fairly stable. Hooray for NBN!
Good to hear, mystar.
Which pillar are you on again? Gonna have to ring up Telstra and see whether I can get an appointment now.
That's cool but all of Cannington is grey (N/A)
yea some bits are available (near manning rd)
Good to hear, mystar.

6CAN-08-20
Pillar, not node. -20 serves two pillars; I'm on the one for the fish&chip shop. (CANN:5)
No idea, finder doesn't say either. How else can I find out online? I live just behind the fish n chips shop
Cool, we might be on the same pillar then. You can find out via https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au/
Yep I'm CAN:5 too
Thanks, mate. Telstra still being no help as per usual. Next time I call them I will say that someone else on the same pillar has been connected.
Gave the flick to iiNet the other week, moved over to TPG.
All came together really quickly, ordered on the night of the 20th, connection was live on the quoted day of the 27th, incredibly smooth and fairly well documented process.
Only went for the 12mbit plan, years of 3mbit taught me that this household doesn't need a huge deal more. So far the connection has been faultless as far as I can tell. Only thing I've noticed as a detriment is what feels like a slight pause before pages start to load up whilst browsing. Also, differing speed tests from the mybroadband and speedtest sites � 5.4 and 10.6 megabits respectively.
On 6CAN-08-05 CANN:124
Has anyone got an active FTTN connection on 6CAN-01-09 or 6CAN-01-10 in Waterford?
What ISP are you using?
What Modem?
It seems not many providers are servicing this area, so not a great selection.
I am looking for a provider that can give 50/20 and fixed V4 IP address and unlimited data. Only currently find one, Exetel, but their modem is pretty basic. I need modem router with advanced features (secure VPN Server/client and Packet forwarding and advanced firewall features) to connect to my work.
Anyone know any other options?
but their modem is pretty basic. I need modem router with advanced features (secure VPN Server/client and Packet forwarding and advanced firewall features) to connect to my work.
So just get the service and run your own modem/router configuration ??
Rang NBNco, they confirmed that my address 6CAN-08-20 is fine now and ready for appointments.
Rang Telstra and convinced them to check the availability or whatever. So much for them calling me when the status changes.
Appointment booked for the 12th. (84 days since RFS) Here's hoping!
my house is still not showed on google map(very new house). wherever i search for my address, the feedback is always NBN not available.
however, if i drag the pin onto my location (when searching , it gives me a location that is near my house but not actually on the house. if i do the drag, it gives me different address, but the same location) it shows available......
Appointment booked for the 12th. (84 days since RFS) Here's hoping!
Same as mine... I'm in the afternoon... hopefully they both go smoothly...
I have decided to go with Exetel, start with 25/5 and BYO modem and see how it goes. If sync speed significantly more than 25/5 I may up the plan to take advantage of it. Google says I am around 550-600m from the Node.
Signed up on 10th, and have been advised by Exetel, it will take 20-25 business days (approx) for Fibre Transition, and it will take another 10-15 business days to transition my PST Phone to VOIP. That means it is going to be between 30 and 40 business days or 6 to 8 weeks. Not impressed, and thats without any issues...
On the Modem front, have decided to use the ASUS DSL-68U, so will look around for a good deal to buy one. Seems it provided the features I need plus have confirmation others have successfully used it to connect to Exetels FTTN service.
Will keep posting on progress, but have a feeling this is going to be a painful process. All of us in 6CAN are being forced to FTTN, an interim solution best. I just cant see how this aligned with Malcolm Turnbull's rhetoric on Innovation and a Smart Economy. Suppose he does not care, as he will be long gone before the ramifications are obvious to all.
I can see the node is just 100m from our premise........however the NBN is not avaliable now, hope I can get 100/40 when I get NBN
Exetel's plans are pretty cheap, and whirlpool have some horrid stories about their NBN service, like congestion etc, but then again it depends on individual circumstances. please share your experience as i am about to do the same in a couple of months with a BYO Netcomm NF4v modem. iiNet have increased their plan rates and a 25/5 service is now $79.90 compared to Exetel's $59.90 with a free month! note that Exetel counts uploads too.
Same as mine... I'm in the afternoon... hopefully they both go smoothly...
Apparently it's being hooked up as I type... and they do need to get into the house to complete the job � so hopefully that means testing the port when the job is done...
(Which would be good, we had our line disconnected during the build phase, allegedly because some cables were removed to perform some work and our pair didn't get reconnected)
Does anyone know where the pillar/node is located for renou street, east cannington?

You'd need to post which ADA you're looking for as there would be several for Renou.

Lost ADSL sync and dialtone at 10AM on the 12th.
Rang Telstra and there's nothing they can do of course.
Got VDSL sync at 8AM on the 15th.
Syncing at 50/14 right now.
Rang Telstra again to ask about which speed tier I'm currently on and the line length, but they can't answer either.
I'll wait to see after MyAccount updates itself with the NBN plan.

i dont think any one can tell the line distance except for the tech that would have come out to check the line for sync etc.

I don't know how NBNco decide who gets what level of service.. but our tech rang me about 15 minutes before the 1pm � 5pm window opened, to let me know he was starting on my job shortly, and to make sure someone was going to be home...
After doing his thing at the pilllar and node, he then went to the house, and plugged in the modem to test that the work had been done correctly and to make sure we were getting suitable speeds...
The connection was down for around � � 1 hour all up...
An Update: Exetel Have just advised me a revised connection date of 19th August 2016. So that is 9 days from signing Up. A lot better than what they originally told me, so heres hoping all goes well the connect this coming friday.
Had to speed up my purchase of the ASUS DSL-AC68U modem/router. Hopefully get this in the next day or so, so I am ready.
As soon as I get connected, I will post connection details and speeds and Experience with Exetel. All going better than expected so far. :)

My NBN FTTN 25/5 is now up and running with Exetel. Set up my ASUS DSL-AC68U modem router and plugged in and all worked first go. :)
Modem Syncing with:
- Max Rate 69656 kbps Downstream and Max Rate 22573 kbps Upstream
- Data Rate 27999 kbps Downstream and Data Rate 6399 kbps Upstream
- SNR 22.3 dB Up and 18.5 dB Down
- Line Attenuation 14.2 dB Up and 3.4 dB Down
- Path Mode Fastpath for both
- Power 12.8 dbm Up and 6.9 dbm Down
- INP 2.3 symbols for both
Running SPEEDTEST I consistently over the last 2 hours get around:
� Ping 57ms � Download 22.93 Mbps � Upload 5.10 Mbps
Based on the above the line would support a rate of 50/20. Pity Exetel do not offer this for FTTN customers, they only offer 100/40 or 25/5. I would imagine that May FTTN customers would opt for this if available.
Contact me if you want to know ASUS DSL-AC68U modem settings ...
good to hear mate, so do u know how far you are from the node?
please share speedtest results during peak hours as well. that would be the REAL test! from 6 pm till 10pm.
I am 550 meters according to googlemaps, so would think I would be 550 to 600m via cable allowing for tails etc.
I ran speedtests over an extended period (every hour) including throughout the evening with similar results to the above quotes figures.
thats great
So what's happening with the node in front of hester park entrance (6CAN04), I can see works being done, white conduit tubes popping out & black cable laid along the road.
Hi
With TPG (and posted my issue at the TPG forum) but VOIP never was activated. TPG final escalation to their management was to request me to leave them to another provider plus they have closed file (no compensation).
Can I please ask if anyone on 6-CAN-08-21 having VOIP issues? Basically my phone has no signal and the VOIP light is red on the TPG modem.
Connected to NBN with internode on 6CAN-02 at the beginning of the week with a 25/5 plan
Using a TP Link TD-W9970 bridged to a Billion 7800VDOX (plan to eventually replace with an asus router later)
Upstream Downstream
Current Rate (Kbps) 6400 � 28000
Max Rate (Kbps) 50971 � 87901
SNR Margin (dB) 25.6 � 23.4
Line Attenuation (dB) 20.6 � 10.6
I'm about 130-140m from my node
speed tests have been constant no matter time of day (knock on wood)

Looks like Telstra have put Cannington back onto the old NNI again :(
The same issue from a few months back has happened again, can't play any online games and any sites involving SSL take minutes to load, even when I'm getting 90 down / 35 up.
Thanks Telstra, I can't even pay my internet bill for the month. Can't wait for them to slug me with late fees because of issues on their network.

Lol, back here for the same reason. Managed to email the Telstra tech after a couple of failed attempts, so hopefully he'll investigate for us.
We all guessed it was just a matter of time before someone at Telstra decided to put us back onto the busted NNI again; I was hoping it wouldn't happen the one time I decided to book annual leave, haha
The Telstra tech has just emailed me back (kudos!) and there was indeed a failure with the active link last night at midnight, so we were automatically switched to the secondary (faulty) link hence today's problems.
Telstra is monitoring the link at present to capture data so they can isolate the issue to their system or NBN Co's for further investigation and development of a permanent fix. They will be looking at switching us back to the other link within 24 hours if they haven't managed to work out a solution by then.
Fingers crossed =P

Thats not a Telstra decision � NNI is managed by NBN.
Ran into the same issue on Telstra as well, funnily enough my neighbour has dug up my lead-in today. Good to know that wasn't the problem.
Thanks for the update Moph. Am here for the same reason � completely unusable NBN again. At least I now know what it is. Guess we will have to wait for the fix!
Hello again Moph!
Back again and with the same problem. Nothing loading on ipad/phones again and strangely the home phone isn't showing green lights on router at all since yesterday.
Any update with what's going on? Is there a point me also contacting them.

Only the info that I posted yesterday.
No point contacting Telstra yourself IMO � you'll be stuck with L1 tech support going through the standard troubleshooting script and won't get anywhere. The tech that I'm in contact with has responsibility for this section of the network and is actively working on a solution, so there's nothing much more that can be done.
Alright thanks. Are people having problems with their home phone too?
Looks like there's still no progress for Cannington.
Any chance you can get onto that tech again and finds out why they can't just switch us back over already? I've got work to do from home and I can't get to the TS at work with this NNI issue :(
I'll follow up again tomorrow morning, but I'm guessing the fault that caused the link to switch on Sunday night is also preventing them from simply transferring us back. Could be a while before either link is fully operational :/
Edit: Just received an email from the tech ... data capture is complete and the switch back to the primary link is planned for tonight. With luck everything will be back in order as of tomorrow morning.
fingers crossed, thanks Moph
Thanks for the update Moph!
Can one of you guys please let me know when it seems to be working again, I'm currently in Sydney so hard to check. Been getting messages from family who treat me like the local tech support haha
Thanks for getting in touch with the tech and giving us updates Moph! Frustrating to have this issue come back again after a couple months of faultless service. Is this a Telstra-only problem? Other Cannington exchange users in this thread dont seem to to be complaining about the issues we face
Is this a Telstra-only problem?
Yep, as I understand it the problem lies with the interface (link) between Telstra's equipment at the Cannington exchange and the NBN's equipment. So it's only affecting Telstra NBN customers connected through the Cannington exchange.
Again so far as I understand it, the reason that the problem has come back is that there are two links at the Cannington exchange � an active link and a backup link. When the DNS resolution issue originally occurred back in June, the solution was to switch us to the backup link � but the problem with the original primary was never successfully diagnosed and fixed. We've been running on the backup link ever since, but a problem then occurred with THAT link last Sunday night resulting in us being switched back across to the original (faulty) primary link.
Telstra have been tracing data packets or some such network wizardry on the faulty primary link over the last few days in an attempt to isolate the problem. So hopefully this time once we're transferred to the backup link again, a solution can actually be implemented for the faulty primary link so that the problem doesn't occur again in future.
The problem may actually be with NBN's equipment rather than Telstra. Regardless, the responsibility lies with Telstra to diagnose the issue and push for resolution.
2.15am and seems fixed as of a little while ago! No more DNS resolution issues on desktop and my phone is usable on wifi again anyway.
I'm back up and running again, thanks for the update Moph!
Things are starting to go pear-shaped again >.<
Yep, just confirmed by the tech � link flipped back to the faulty one and they're working with NBN Co to resolve ASAP.
Really? Why cant they just leave the working one alone zzzz :(
I just came back from work and have DNS issue, beckenham here anybody?
Mhmm. Everyone on the Cannington exchange is likely affected.
The Telstra tech is trying to organise a conference call tonight between himself, NBN Co and myself so that I can run some remote testing for them. Guessing that means Telstra's data capture over the last few days indicates NBN Co's equipment may be at fault.
Regardless, Telstra intend switching us back to the other link again tonight. Who knows whether that will be effective or just flick us back to the faulty link again sometime tomorrow.
This is beyond a joke.
Is there a employee ID for someone I can speak to directly about this? Even Telstra's supervisors think this is a desktop issue, and tried transferring me to Telstra Platinum...
I'm with Internode and have noticed since about 1pm today the DSL light off and subsequently no internet connection.
Internode Support said there were some outages across WA but none for Cannington.
Through this forum i'm glad to see that it's not something on my end. In the mean time it'll just have to be the mobile hot spot.
Burokku � Morphs updates have shown Telstra is taking is seriously, and working a different levels with NBN Co to resolve.
It appear very much in hand.
I'm not sure that speaking to someone directly will get it fixed faster.
is everyone restored now?
Just restarted my router. No DSL light still.

You're with Internode mate � give them a call. The issue we've been discussing is for Telstra and shouldn't be affecting you.
is everyone restored now?
My connection seems stable at the moment. Hope it stays that way lol
just got NBN connected today. the technician came to house and went to the node to connect it up.
however....just getting 50/10 speed......the contract was 100/25. and i am expecting half speed...
not too sure about the node , should be 6CAN-07 but not exactly sure where is the Green box by the road.
spec from my moden
i dont understand the why there are 3 values in the line Attenuation
Lookup your ADA on Finder.
If your line length is around 800m, then that speed is probably correct.
If your RSP sells a 50/20 speed tier then you should move down to that.
I would almost guarantee that if your current speed is 50/10 on a 100/40 plan and you dropped down to a 50/20 plan your actual Line speed at your location will also drop to 25/5 as your ISP would not be that generous to keep you at your original sync speed.
On another issue, has Anyone joined up to Optus as an ISP as that would be my preferred provider as they are offering $20 discounts for existing mobile customers, so their top speed 100/40 service which is currently $110pm would be $90pm which is close to par of many other ISPs. More interested in how youse went with setup time etc.

Doesn't sound right at all. The sync speed is limited by the equipment at either end and the quality of the copper joining them. There's no reason for any ISP to artificially limit sync speed when they control bandwidth, nor have I heard of them doing so.
I'd say it is far more likely that if he steps down to a 50/20 plan with an existing sync speed of 50/10, he'll end up with 50/10 usable bandwidth.
