Fiber lead in being installed today at the top of Claremont... :) happy days.. things are getting closer...
Visionstream came installed my NBN this morning it all was finished in 30-40 minutes. Connected my TPG Modem and turned on, just finished first speed test. I'm on a 25/5 plan from TPG getting 22.51/4.81 pretty fast compared to my old ADSL 2 connection.
I received my NBN letter in the mail yesterday, detailing that I would have the outside box installed soon... yay! This is in Geilston Bay.
I can see, however, why people have "I received notification 6 months ago and I still haven't been connected" type conversations. The letter gives a 3 month time period during which the installer may do the installation (at the end of a cul de sac, I suspect I will be on the end of that 3 months), and then in the information that comes along with the letter, it indicates that we don't contact our preferred service provider until we get the connection kit in the mail, which may be up to 2 months after the installation occurs... and then, of course, you have to tee up with your service provider a time to do the install... I can see how that could easily amount to 6+ months from initial letter to "live" with NBN.
Not that I'm complaining � that's just the reality of it and knowing the reality, you can set some realistic expectations. But I can see how people who might not do the sums might be lulled into thinking that their NBN connection is just around the corner when they receive that letter. That ain't necessarily so, Joe!
Quite a few NBN boxes turning up on houses in Prospect Vale 7SHL-03 right across the area, hopefully may see one on my house soon.
even if you don't and they miss it for some reason, it'll be done when an order is placed.
The letter gives a 3 month time period
Yes � and the chances are high that it won't be done by the end of that time. My "You're at stage one" letter specified a three month time period "between <blah> and 7th of July". Today is the 8th and I still have no outside box.
Vision Stream vans back in Montrose. Briefly at the top end of Shenstone Place this morning. They weren't there for long... but it's only a couple of hundred metres from home!
And then I notice that NWT-03 has been pushed back a month to Nov 2015. :(
Anyone seen any work happening in the Devonport region? 7DER is supposed to be RFS 1Q 2016.

Does anyone know how quickly MDU are getting connected? In separated townhouses (individual copper to street just like houses) with our MDU preregistered with nbnco some years ago. I have been told they have already been in multiple times to investigate our site. Hoping for not to much delay from RFS date in August because FTTN RIM style (aka adsl1) is getting testing with 384kbps up.
I have a family member in Lindisfarne where NBN was meant to be turned on two months ago. She found out yesterday that they forgot to lay fiber down her Street. It's just crazy, how can you miss a whole Street. She only found this out after complaining that she still was not connected after putting her order in when the region went active.
7SHL-03 Prospect Vale.
I live in a block of flats in Trevallyn and the outside utility boxes are now installed.
nbnco say still not connected, work in progress. I assume that means there is still work to be done in the street itself?
Trevallyn not quite ready for service yet very soon though mynbn has date set as 22nd July hopefully any day now keep an eye out. Good to hear a flat has a box before ready for service date though hopefully same up in prospect!
Speaking to the Telstra guys that were parked outside the Trevallyn supermarket all weekend, they were expecting Trevallyn to go live on the 22nd or shortly after.
One thing hasn't changed � Telstra have still got rubbish plans
Hey guys, I'm a little confused atm, I'm building a house in a new street in Montrose (7NWT-03-11) with a finish date of early December. On my nbn it says nbn should be available in my area in November. My street being new do you think I will get it in this time? There are copper cables in pits in my street, however along upper Montrose road the copper cable is strung along aerially.
Should I bother putting a copper lead in to my house?
t's just crazy, how can you miss a whole Street
At least she's getting an ACTIVE connection, meanwhile here in Lenah Valley i suspect ADSL2+ will be here for quite sometime and even then, FTTNode will be the implemented solution. Doesn't bother me either way, as my usage is well under 100Gb/month.
here in Lenah Valley
Here in New Town yesterday I received the following update from Optus "Your NBN update - 2 months to go! NBN Pre-order is now available in your area so you can be one of the first to connect to Optus NBN to your home." So Spackie I don't know if this is just a marketing ploy or not.
So spackie I dont know if this is just a marketing ploy or not.
If you're in the brown shaded area of New Town shown at http://www.mynbn.info/map, then ETA for NBN for you is September 2015 ... about 2 months away.
I gather that spackie is in the area of Lenah Valley that isn't shaded brown � ie NBN construction isn't underway there.
... and yes, it is a marketing ploy by Optus ... to get you to sign up with them instead of another RSP.
I am in 7HOB gee there is a big hole for the northern part of New Town parts of Lenah Valley and Southern Moonah. Nothing Planned gee whizz. Thought it was a clever marketing Plan.
and yes, it is a marketing ploy by Optus ... to get you to sign up with them instead of a decent RSP.
Fixed that for you rj.
Why are Optus not worth going with? Well apart from being Optus they are one of the RSPs who insist on you using their awful supplied router if they provide a phone service through the router. They do not publish their VOIP settings at all so unless you can successfully pull the hidden info from the supplied router you are stuck using their POS so called router.
Fixed that for you rj.
Thanks for that, aliali. I was actually thinking along similar lines to you, but then I thought I'd try to keep my post impartial. :)
Here in New Town yesterday I received the following update from Optus "Your NBN update � 2 months to go
Well my wife received a call from "NBN" saying your house is now available for service and if there's any issues to give them a call back. We're in 7HOB-07 and have the outside box installed and cabled to the street, this happened about 2 months back. Anyway I though great so I called our ISP and they are saying that service is not available yet so who knows.

Its all just turned green fixed line "build prep". You would have to presume fibre....??
fixed line
My understanding is that fixed line just means not wireless (I could be wrong). My clothesline is fixed line under that definition.

RFS date is listed as October 2015 (only one extra month, but that's a 50% increase! :-) )
I'm also in 7HOB08 and looking out for any activity.
Have friends in Launceston (Riverside) asking me which NBN provider they should get � currently they're using Telstra fixed line phone and mobile broadband.
As the friends are only light users (a few emails, web browsing, the occasional youtube video), they won't need much in the way of speed or download allowance. So is it a case of choose one you like, or are some RSPs congested ?
Thanks
I read a lot about internet providers and I was a bit worried when I moved to NBN 3 weeks ago but I haven't had one problem with download speed yet. I chose TPG because of price and I have had no problems, I initially went with the 25/10 plan but now I'm on the the 50/20 plan. I can't see much difference between these plans as far as downloading Torrents ect, I would suggest the 12/5 plan and if that's not enough you can always increase your plan. The lowest speed is over twice the speed I ever got with ADSL.
I am in Lenah valley 7HOB-08 and today I received the official "your nbn network is coming" letter, yay.
We are marked for Oct switch on according to the nbn site but.....
I'm in 7KIN-04 which was supposedly RFS on 17 June 15. The earliest I could order the service was 23 June 15 and I was given an install date of 24 July 15.
Nobody showed up this morning so I called Internode to check the status. Was told work had been held up due to "Network Shortfall". However this had now been overcome. No idea why the appointment [edited] was missed. Consultant asked if I would like to reschedule!
However he wasn't able to give me a reschedule date as the NBN system isn't working.
So 5 weeks after the area was declared RFS I have no idea when I will be connected.
I'm in 7KIN-04
Like me. I ordered on 17 June. Appointment a week ago. INode phoned me 10 minutes before appointment to say it was to be deferred. Could not reschedule at that time. I phone next day and now have appointnet at end of August.
Like you, not happy. But not much either we or INode can do about it.
Hopefully after they've finished on the Pottery Rd side, they'll move over here. Or perhaps our pits are in better condition? (although I'd think some of ours are probably older)
My area as well. I did wonder if all the work on the Pottery rd side might be due to how much new housing is there and the conduit/ pits etc. not able to carry the extra cabling etc.
That's really really weird. Should be every house unless every second house just happened to opt out of the PCD install.
Its normal. They will try and as do as many houses they can in 1 pass but some will have issues that require a later team to resolve .
It could be every second house is currently fed underground now and they will generally match that or it just happened that every second house had an issue on that day.
If a PCD isnt done during the build drop phase it will (read should ) be done prior to they internal install visit.
+1 to above ^^^ The guys come round while i was out today and run the fiber from the street up to my house ready for Thursday when they come round and do the inside part.
I am starting building soon in a new housing development in Risdon Vale and was looking just then and saw it has changed to purple (available fixed line). I know there is 3 houses built at the moment and I spoke to one of them about 2 months ago and she had notified Telstra she was living there now and wanted the NBN. I clicked on this area thou and it says it is not finished but it's purple. Could it just be an issue with the addresses in the area not recognized because it's new? If you look at Risdon Vale on the map towards the bottom there is 2 small purple areas, this is where I am building.
They're stringing aerial fibre for the top of Brushy Creek Rd at the moment so good to see progress.
Spoke to the crew about the aluminium cable and he believes it's actually cable that's being removed as apparently part of the process of stringing fibre is removing seperate street lighting power.
Haven't seen any fibre cabinets in place yet. Wondering where they will be.
They're stringing aerial fibre for the top of Brushy Creek Rd at the moment so good to see progress.
Saw a cherry picker go past up that way and wondered if it'd be related.
Also they were continuing to cut up the footpath along Lenah Valley road towards the new pit at the bottom of Athleen Avenue.
Fibre being hauled through pits on Morris and Bruce streets this morning (7shl-04)
They have moved onto the Girrabong rd side of Lenah Valley, they have a cherry picker and a cable truck in Alcides ave and Alwyn rd, looks like aerial fibre.

Yeah, saw road works signs at that intersection this morning (but they hadn't started yet).
So I take it that Prospect Vale/Blackstone didn't go active on the 19th then...
no.
still sc0 for the addresses I've tried.

I gather you were making 2 separate comments there, QR?

Yep, it looks like the adjoining 7SHL-07 will be FTTN. That'll include some friends of ours. It'll be interesting to hear how it goes for them.
I gather you were making 2 separate comments there, QR?
ofcourse.
Miker75 was referring to 7SHL-03.
I know. the SC0 results were for 7SHL-03 addresses.
Those mynbn dates should only used as a rough guide, Trevallyn was a little bit later. Hopefully soon though for Blackstone/Prospect vale 7SHL-03, I am waiting on MDU design before install hopefully soon.
Just had mine installed here in Trevallyn hooking along nicely

Any Launceston people know of a local place to buy the Built Board NBN Enclosure?
That's nifty. The PDF says available through reputable electrical wholesalers � maybe try contacting the main ones listed here
Alternatively, might be quicker/easier to phone/email Built Boards as per contact details on the PDF.
Does anyone know about this NBN plan?
Interesting that it shows construction as already started. I couldn't see anything on ACMA to give any more information. As posted in the Fixed Wireless thread...
Either NBN is slow to notify ACMA and/or ACMA are slow to update the new details
Why does it include a backhaul tower site?
The heading of the column on the nbn� website is "Areas where construction scheduled to commence before end Sep 2018". If you take this literally, it doesn't necessarily mean that nbn� is installing gear at Knockup that will service premises. Possibly, it means that the Telstra tower at Knockup will be used for NBN backhaul?
Possibly, someone at nbn� has copied the list of locations across from an "authority to proceed with works" document without editing out Knockup?
Possibly, it means that the Telstra tower at Knockup will be used for NBN backhaul?
I have been to the site and they are not using the Telstra backhaul tower but rather they are building a new NBN backhaul tower. In fact I would not be surprised if it was already done.
I presume its a mistake and they forgot to edit it out.
I know 2 new telstra towers are being built here in the valley through the blackspot program but they indicate that they will probably not use fixed wireless NBN on the towers but rather satellite because they say satellite will come first. I very much doubt that.
rather they are building a new NBN backhaul tower
OK, I've been looking at the (very useful) map at http://www.mynbn.info/map.
(It looks like Ringarooma will be the first location out of the group in your screen-shot that will be RFS.)
The tower shown as being at Targa has an ACMA site ID of 9018706. I plugged this into the ACMA look-up.
The ACMA listing (here) confirms it's a backhaul tower. I transferred the KML to Google Earth which shows this new tower is indeed very near the Telstra tower at Knockup.
They missed our appointment on 20/10/15 again no technicians was the excuse. Next available install date is 15/01/2016. What a joke!! Would laugh but very disappointed.
They missed our appointment on 20/10/15 again
Again? When was your install originally booked for? Is it fixed wireless or fibre?
Next available install date is 15/01/2016.
Next year. 3 months away. I feel your pain.
Only going to get worse with more and more areas going rfs soon.
now to wait for the rescheduled install :-)
got a call offering an install tomorrow afternoon, sadly can't get anyone to hang around on site tomorrow. ah well, hopefully next week.
The latest 3 year plan has rather a lot of FTTN for "Expected Technology", including the entire 7HOB, which makes no sense:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/cont
The rollout PDF, dated 08/10/15, contradicts this:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/cont
I see I'm the confused one. The 3 year plan covers areas not specified in the second PDF. Although some suburbs are mentioned in both, the rollout PDF is for areas in build and thus is more accurate.
NBN van laying green cable in Herbert St today.
Only going to get worse with more and more areas going rfs soon.
Apparently the NBN guys pulled the cable in my street last week here in Lenah Valley. Connection ETA, maybe Feb 2016 according to NBN, I'm with IINET at the moment 100GB/month ADSL2+ 5KM away from exchange, 600k/sec average download.
I might opt in to the NBN with the $89/month 250Gb 100/40 IINET plan. They have just launched the ADSL2+ 1TB plans but who would honestly use 1000GB!?!?!

Are you in 7HOB-08? (most likely). Our Ready For Service date is still set to this Friday 30/10/2015. Even though the letter received about 5 weeks ago mentioned drops happening from early October to February.
Don't be surprised if it still goes live late this week (or early next week) as there's been a lot of activity, and a lot of drops to peoples houses already.
I have a booking to be connected to the NBN iinett on the Friday 13th November 7HOB-07, however at this point in time I still have no PCD. Should I be concerned ? Should I contact iinett or the NBN or is there any point just in the hands of the unknown?
Should I be concerned ?
no. it'll be done sometime between now and when the internal work is done on the 13th november.
just be patient :-)

Yes I am in 7HOB-08 Mt Stuart / Lenah Valley as per http://www.mynbn.info/sam/7HOB-08
I contacted IINET last week and they said to get in touch with them once the NBN goes live. I've yet to see anyone connect from the NBN green cable to the Telstra pit on my home premise (don't know how this is done but would be cool to know how the interconnect fibre runs from the main street to each home).

I've yet to see anyone connect from the NBN green cable to the Telstra pit on my home premise (don't know how this is done but would be cool to know how the interconnect fibre runs from the main street to each home).
There are quite a lot already connected in Ruth Drive underground, and many aerially on Girrabong Rd. If you look for the PCD boxes on the outside of houses. That's the process that is going on now. They connect as many as they can (something like 50%+) during this period and anyone that orders after the RFS date that hasn't had this done gets booked in to have it connected before their actual internal connection date.
Edit: Actually according to the definitions on MyNBN the ready for service date is:
"After October 2014 for fixed-line areas, this declaration was made once at least 30% of premises in an NBN rollout region had their external (PCD) installation completed."
I have a booking to be connected to the NBN iinett on the Friday 13th November 7HOB-07, however at this point in time I still have no PCD. Should I be concerned ? Should I contact iinett or the NBN or is there any point just in the hands of the unknown?
I'll let you know how mine goes, same situation and install is this week :)
however at this point in time I still have no PCD. Should I be concerned ?
Some installs are done all together. IE PCD and internal NTD by the same installer at the same appointment.
They connect as many as they can (something like 50%+) during this period and anyone that orders after the RFS date that hasn't had this done gets booked in to have it connected before their actual internal connection date.
So do I need to do anything ie. contact the NBN to order a connection or do they simply come around and connect each home.
I thought I was the only one this happened to. Please call NBNCo (1800 687 626) and file a complaint. This is the only way they'll find out what's really happening on the ground.
I have heard from a very reliable source that NBN co are struggling to cope with the current uptake in Tas, and have now pushed back any new switch on's until next year,
So Austins Ferry/Granton (where I am), is now scheduled for January � rather than the original date of Nov
I'm in the Austins Ferry/Granton area... eagerly been waiting activation since Friday so if it has been pushed back till next year + 1 month wait for install then that is really disappointing after the long wait already....
My thoughts exactly
I can't see how pushing it back will make a difference � if the appointment times now are 1 month +, I had assumed I wouldn't get an install till early-mid Jan, now now it will probably be Feb-Mar before it's installed.
The only positive is that my Telstra BizEssentials contract is up in May, so the cost to cancel will be much lower by then
may give them a chance to catch up on the backlog from the areas that have gone RFS recently... haha
7NWT-04 is my area as well sad sad news
I have been checking the letter box daily and the mynbn web site for the go live status :-(
More and more area are coming online soon Montrose and Glenorchy will be ready shortly, so will still have congestion for bookings.
I work retail and have lots of customers who really don't care about NBN coming through who have been connected.
My take let the people who really want the service like users here check for activation dates and place orders but maybe hold back the letters till January.
Just goes to show there was no real planning on how to roll it out. The adhoc way the pcd's are being installed pre rfs build, I drive around my area and see houses that would have required cherry pickers to do arial drops and yet see newish subdivisions with not one box installed, yet would have relatively easier access via the newish conduit for the telstra copper. Also the area in launceston with arguably the worst download speeds, Youngtown, is not slated to go live until March 2016, yet areas like waverly, with much better speeds due to the exchange down the hill, we're done early on.
Further update.
After lodging a complaint with NBNco I was told there was no reason given for failing to contact me but the installer had stated there was a conduit issue with my install.
The top end of my road (where I live) is an aerial deployment, my fibre is connected physically at both the multiport on the pole and the PCD on the side of my house (probably why it's service class 2). My neighbour who was connected with no issues is on the same aerial fibre and the multiport immediately before mine.
In otherwords there is no unique portion of my install where conduit is used.
I was given a remediation date before January 6 and told that any further information would need to come through my RSP.
My RSP had tried contacting NBNco mulitple times with no result.
Yesterday after contacting my RSP they told me I have now been given a new install date of December 2.
Hopefully all should be OK.
Given that I have roof access with lighting and a ceiling ladder � no crawlilng required, the mounting location has no noggins to impede the fibre and the top plate is literally right next to where the ladder comes into the roof it should be one of the installers easiest jobs for the day.
Hope all goes well...
I have heard from a very reliable source that NBN co are struggling to cope with the current uptake in Tas, and have now pushed back any new switch on's until next year
They obviously are going to make up the numbers by providing Satellite to towns who previously were going to get FTTH for example in Queenstown Roseberry and Zeehan (that we know of thus far) who I might add arn't all the pleased it seems!
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2
*Note the remark about Satellite being 3 times faster than ADSL is just a complete nonsense as many who are living within near an exchange would know! eg ADSL2 theoretically can run @24Mbps whilst what will now obviously be a congested Satellite beam (originally dimensioned for 2000 residences) attempts to service a population of at least 6000.
Looked at buying a house in Swan Bay (North) last year � from all accounts, it was scheduled to receive "fibre to the premises". I'd be absolutely furious if I had bought it, because the area has been downgraded to a wireless service (click the link in the first paragraph to see details):
Aluminium foil hat time.
Ronnie Burns, the director of the respite, was interviewed by the ABC and had this to say;
NBN Co said the electromagnetic energy emitted from the tower would be 2,500 times less than the allowable limit.
But Mr Burns disagreed.
"We decided that we would research what is a wi-fi tower, are there any harmful effects, who's doing this, what's going on here, so we understood the lay of the land," he said.
At least the Federal, State and Local Governments said 'no' to moving the tower when Mr Burns lobbied them. Common sense prevails. :)
"We decided that we would research what is a wi-fi tower, are there any harmful effects, who's doing this, what's going on here, so we understood the lay of the land," he said.
I was listening to an interview with this guy on the radio today. For starters, it isn't Wi-Fi. Obviously the objectors have no understanding of the technology at all.
Radio emissions from a 60m tower will be bugger-all at ground level � certainly many orders of magnitude less than the exposure from holding a mobile phone to the side of your face. How do these people survive in the modern world? I guess they never use or carry mobile phones, cordless phones, Wi-Fi laptops etc. No remote garage door openers, no walking through shop doors with RFID scanners, no use of baby monitors, can't go near paypass scanners.
...or maybe they use all sorts of radio devices when it suits them, but like to complain and now they haven't got their way, they're taking their bat and ball and going home.
Or my personal favourite, quite happy to be photographed being bathed in a known ionizing radiation source, commonly known as the sun...
After being given a re-mediation date of 4th of Jan 2016 I have a new install date of next Tuesday, the same slot as my neighbour who had the same lead in issue the day before my initial install.
Hopefully this time it goes ahead and someone shows!
Ronnie Burns, the director of the respite, was interviewed by the ABC and had this to say;
He claims to have done extensive research and yet he calls it a wifi tower. How much research has he really done? They say it's 20 metres from the home, which may or may not be the truth. Does anyone know the location of the tower?
They say it's 20 metres from the home, which may or may not be the truth.
in another article Ronnie claimed it was 20m from their property boundry, wither way it doesn't add up:
http://www.theadvocate.co
it'd be atleast 3-400m from the edge of the building.

Mr Burns would not say how he would oppose the proposal, but declined to launch an appeal with the Planning Appeal Tribunal before the deadline.
in another article Ronnie claimed it was 20m from their property boundry, wither way it doesn't add up:
Thank you. As I suspected, after looking at google maps, it is further than they claimed and it's behind trees from their place. I think they've been looking for an excuse to leave. It looks like a big dummy spit.
ronnie has been progressively becoming more erratic with comments and actions over the years sadly.

That's a bit sad for them. It's a big ask to demand a tower be shifted by 10ks though, especially as there research seems to be limited to biased sources.
Sigh... just checked and despite the weekend work 7NWT-03 has had it's RFS pushed back from Jan 2016 to mid February.
:(
Yep they had to push it out as they had to move nwt-04 out by 6 weeks from the previous rfs date, similar to what has happened with 7lau-10 being pushed out by a few weeks to accomodate the revised 6 week delay in 7shl-01. It wouldn't surprise me if there aren't further delays in nwt-04/nwt-03 and 7shl-01/Lau-10.
Gday guys. Hobart is getting more boots on the ground to knock most of the fttp side quicker.
We have about 4 crews from melbs this week and more arriving next year from melbourne/sydney/adelaide.
Stay tuned..
Any chance you could convince the powers that be that Forster Street in New Town shouldn't be ROLLED BACK in order to install FTTN? considering there is Fiber running all the way down the street already and PCD's on a number of residents?
Seems bonkers that NBNco want to simply abandon a 90% done FTTP job, in order to go with FTTN.

7CAM-03 now has an estimated RFS of 1 June 2016.
No further news re: backbone fibre. Fibre ground works from Cambridge NBN hub appears to have stopped on Seven Mile Beach Road at Axiom Way � just short of Acton Road.
FYI
The below will be interesting to see if it becomes reality.
A person I know that is in the install game tells me that the 1/1/16 is the date that NBN is dishing out the next big batch of jobs, so there may be some truth to this date.
7NWT-4/8
"Great news, Optus NBN is on it's way!
WILDLIFE CT, GRANTON, TAS 7030
You can pre-order your nbn plan now and we'll connect you when it arrives
nbn expect your address to be nbn ready on 01-Jan-2016"

on a public holiday? sounds a little suspect, maybe on Monday the 4th of January
I know what you saying and I agree, but perhaps it's an automated thing, no human actuality does any of this, come the 4th the jobs sitting on the system ready to go?
It might go RFS on that date but you can bet your bottom dollar you won't get a order done unless sales at your preferred rsp are working.
I have a pre-order, acct ready to go with the ISP I am going to use etc, and they send me constant updates that they will be ready to organise the next step as of 1st Jan, so I am not expecting a person to roll up on Jan 1st, Or Feb 1st for that matter, but at least the wheels MAY start turning :)
Happy new year everyone! Still 7NWT-04 is not RFS so I'm predicting the 11th of Jan.

How do you know? Are you basing this purely on the no affiliated mynbn site, which is a great site, just not necessarily up to date. Or is there another site that I am not aware of?
Btw, my tip is that it will be between easter and June before we have an active service within our house. ... would love to be wrong however :)

you can have a look at either the PDF or XLSX files here for what Telstra believes will be happening, they have to have some idea (but still may not 100% accurate) as they have to plan when copper disconnections will happen and when they need to plan "cease sale" of wholesale services
One would assume that the NBNco website would have up to date info. Alas the checker just says in build, so how any rsp can have an idea other than accessing the portal to book a job is beyond me. It's all just a waiting game, check as many places as you can and hope that one day you check its rfs and surprises the hell out of you...

Assumptions. .. :)
On a positive, I had the ISP I am going with phone up this morning, with an appt date, albeit 4 weeks from now but that works in well for me and annual leave etc.
Exciting times ahead. And i guess pre registering does have its benefits.
Well you are indeed lucky as I have expressed interest with both rsp and NBNco and have had no info nor updates...
Just about to move into a house that has had fibre NBN connected by previous owners...
Anyone know what kind of time frame are we looking at to get a new service connected?
If the house already has a NTD installed from the previous owners, it should just be a matter of placing an order with an internet provider and having the service activated onto your NTD, which doesn't take very long at all.

If it's all set up then depends how long the RSP takes to process your order. Should only be a day or two at most as long as their accounts dept is not glacial or otherwise screws up the order.
You just may have to emphasise that the premises had a previous connection so your RSP may need to provision the service on UNI-D2, UNI-D3 or UNI-D4.
