Just called Internode, All ordered and will be connected next Tuesday.
With SkyMesh dead in the water in Tasmania, can anyone suggest a NBN-FW provider with a 50/20 plan that doesn't suffer in peak times, please?

From that comment, I gather the untagged Vocus / SkyMesh test connection didn't work for you?

No mate it didn't work tagged or untagged. I just checked again two minutes ago too.

That's disappointing for all concerned. I suppose there's still a slight chance that they'll have an "aha!" moment and get it working.

Try Aussie Broadband. They offer no lock in contracts. I've considered them, but they don't have IPv6 (yet).
Aussie Broadband is active on Whirlpool: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2209192
Just got connected last night FTTN 100/40 with internode at Oakdowns. I'm 76 meters from the Node and im getting 98 down and 52 up.
Whoa, some development. My outside box was installed without issue last Thursday. I am in 7NWT-05, it's becoming real.
If you don't mind me asking, what street? I'm in 7NWT-05 as well, Cochrane Street.

Nice � I'm being connected on Monday with Internode, starting on 25/5 but will see what my line is capable of. NBNCo estimate my line as being capable of 65/25+ but we'll see when the transition takes place.
Crossing my fingers for a painless transition.
Yeah when I first called them they said I might just get over 50. But after I did my connection they guy told me anyone that's 800m or less should be able to get into the 90s for download for FTTN. Are you using the Internode TG-1 or do you have your own modem? Hope it all goes smoothly for you.
Are you using the Internode TG-1
Yep
Hope it all goes smoothly for you.
Thanks, I also hope it actually goes smoothly after having to sort out a bump in the road today. Received an SMS advising I needed to be present for the appointment, so rang and queried this � the sales guy had submitted it as a new additional line instead of transitioning my current active line. The guy I spoke to today was excellent though, and said it's now been ordered correctly by him. My appointment is now next Thursday.
I had a issues with the TG-1 when I got it and the guy said that its very common happens to just about all the ones they send out. If your internet light goes red and the TG-1 wont connect to the internet call them, was a 5 min fix.
Yeah my dealings with them have also been amazing ordering and getting the service on. After reading so many horror stories to do with the NBN I wasn't to sure how it was going to go.

Pre-empted in preparation for my transition next week.
7NWT-07 Install date is here :)
But still no PCD!! Will this be done as part of the install?
Any result?
Any result?
It all happened in the end and I am now operational.
Civil guys had not brought the conduit right up to the wall. When technician came today he installed both PCD and NTD made sure they were operational but could not connect to network as conduit/fibre still need to be hooked up to PCD. He made phone call to supervisor; civil guys came back and extended conduit to wall, 2 other technicians came and spliced and connected fibre to PCD checked the NTD and activated it.
10 minutes later i was live.
To cut a long story short: it's all good. I am now on NBN and saying goodbye to my wireless, which was reliable with great service, but expensive.
Hope you get on NBN soon Dome.
My street has just had the PCDs installed, Derwent Park, and my place was skipped. I called NBNCo and they said it happens when it is a tricky install. The pit in the footpath is on the corner of my property to attached the PCD to my house they will need to cross a NG pipe. Will be interesting when I get around to ordering NBN.
Trying to think where I want the NTD installed, I'll probably go with where my router sits which is under the stairs.
FTTN transition day arrived today, NBNCo completed the order. Alas I'm still connected to ADSL.
I'm guessing the wrong pair was jumpered at the pillar � I wonder how common that is, exact same thing happened to a friend of mine a week ago as well.
I've been watching the status of Hadspen with interest, it's been in build for a few months but I've only noticed civil works start a couple of weeks ago.
I think there is going to be a node on the shop end of South Esk Drive. The contractors have dug a new trench/conduit from the pit & pillar on Main St:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fm
Looking down South Esk Drive:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sd
And this is (I think) where the node will go? There's a new NBN pit and an excavation with fibre coming out of it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pv
If it is where the node goes, it's near enough to our place that we should get very good speeds � will be interesting to see.
Has anyone got any eyes on actual FDH or PCDs installed around Tolmans Hill? 7HOB-09 (Sandy Bay, Tolmans Hill, Mount Nelson) apparently RFS at end of August just wondering how true that might be?
We're in New Town. After a no-show for our first appt, a contractor showed up yesterday but couldn't do anything because he was meant to do the internal installation and there was no box outside. This is after NBN called me last week and I told them there was nothing outside.
After calling Internode and the NBN complaint line (2nd day one of us stayed home from work), I was just waiting to hear when they were planning to schedule a box to installed.
However, my wife was home today and said she saw techs outside. They were putting up an antenna and after a bit told her they were successful, and would mark it in their system,
I called internode and asked them if they know anything about us getting fixed wireless. She said that they're still waiting for NBN to get back to them, but was very surprised about the antenna because New Town is not a rural area.
???
So confused.
They were putting up an antenna and after a bit told her they were successful, and would mark it in their system,
It's unlikely to be an NBN antenna in New Town.
Possibly fibre has been brought to your house via aerial cable and NBN Co contractors have installed the outdoor box high-ish on your wall. This should now allow the indoor work to proceed.
I gather that you posted from work and haven't yet eye-balled what was done today?
Check it out when you get home.
However, my wife was home today and said she saw techs outside. They were putting up an antenna and after a bit told her they were successful, and would mark it in their system,
Would be interesting to see said antenna!
The Creek Rd, to Forster st area is going Fibre to Node, not in that are you? Not that that required an antenna either :)
Edit: rj's post above seems most likely :)
Had a tech come out from telstra today and he installed the internal box but afterwards came back in the house and said that the cable coming from the house to the pit has been damaged. I called up to organise this to be fixed and they set up an appoinment for Friday so see what happens. Not expecting much. How a what would be like a 5 metre cable gets damaged on a newly built home I have no idea.

Thru 5 pits and nearly 200m of fibre but the outside box is in place. Nearly 5 hours of labour. The test showed the "signal strength" to be excellent.
Just the internals to be done at the end of the week.
wrong pair was jumpered at the pillar
Exactly what happened. Tech resolved the fault by 8.30 this morning. It's nice to have decent internet here finally!
Just wondering if anyone can clarify as to if houses running off of Elwick Rd In Glenorchy/7010 are running fibre to the node or fibre to the house? My old man had it connected today and he's only getting around 2.3mb/s download so I'm assuming only fibre to the node? Should speeds be faster than that?
Cheers,
Sam
Thru 5 pits and nearly 200m of fibre
What is with that!!?? Our install was delayed slightly while they went away to get a 300m length of fibre, because the port allocated to us was right down the street... yet there are two multiports along our boundary. I've seen inside one of these two NBN pits and only one of the six ports is used. Connecting us with a 300m fibre defies logic.
Elwick Rd In Glenorchy/7010 are running fibre to the node or fibre to the house?
Elwick Road appears to be FTTP/FTTH from what I can see.
etting around 2.3mb/s download so I'm assuming only fibre to the node? Should speeds be faster than that?
Depends on what speed has been selected. Based on the limited information provided and assuming all else is correct, 2.3MB/s would indicate a 25/5 speed plan. If he wants faster he should speak to his provider and request 50/20 or 100/40 speed.
7NWT-07
That's great news. I had read that the first 40 or 60m is free and you have to pay for the rest, but they must be letting this go with brownfields sites.
Keep us posted on your install.
That's great news. I had read that the first 40 or 60m is free and you have to pay for the rest, but they must be letting this go with brownfields sites.
That 40m limit is for the fibre from the PCD (outside box) to NTD inside box.
The 300m was from the Street cabinet FDH, to his outside box.
That's great news. I had read that the first 40 or 60m is free and you have to pay for the rest, but they must be letting this go with brownfields sites.
The original connection was 40m internal (with 270 degrees of combined bends) and 60m external for new installs.
Existing connections (phone) did not have the 60m limit.
Of course now there is a $300 new connection fee so this may affect the limits.
Hiyas, when the external box is installed, what kind of time frame to expect before the internal one is installed?

If you mean the external and internal boxes for FTTP then the internal NTD only gets installed when you order a phone or internet service with your chosen RSP.

Port Sorell and area is listed on NBN roll out reports as due for commencement 03/2016. Now into 2nd month of the 03/2016 no sign of action.
In fact the more heavily areas of the North West Coast, Burnie,Devonport, Wynyard etc. all appear not to be receiving attention.
Devonport City rebuild is on the way, but no NBN. Where is the NBN?.

Devonport is supposedly under construction for FTTN, as is Latrobe, with completion due some time in the first half of next year. So far have seen a few people wandering up and down streets measuring things, but no more than that at this stage.
As for Leith, Ulverstone, Penguin, Burnie, Wynyard etc.. no clue. Nothing yet. Which is completely ridiculous, and as someone trying to set up VPN links between offices on the coast, frustrating to no end.
I think there is going to be a node on the shop end of South Esk Drive.
This is what it looks like now:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/di
Pretty sure there will be a node there soon... Forgot to mention previously, similar works have been going on down the other end of South Esk Drive near Hadfield Court � it basically looked the same as the above when I last walked past. However went past again this morning, and..... https://www.dropbox.com/s/yh3
We have a node! Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to do the other/s (not sure how many more there'll be but based on plans I've seen for a larger town I suspect there wouldn't be more than 4). And hopefully RFS within a few months.
Interestingly the one above that's not finished yet has some trenching going from the node to a nearby power pole with conduit to it and (I think) green fibre hanging out. Not sure what that means, maybe they're going to bring the fibre from the exchange across via overhead cable but it is only pretty small gauge fibre.... And where the pole is in relation to the exchange, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

The "fibre" is probably a draw wire to use to pull a power cable through the conduit.

Yeah... ok � that would probably make a lot more sense, thanks.

Don't know how hard you're looking but there is Nodes popping up in Devonport everywhere. Nearly all of Devonport has Nodes installed in the locations that have been dug up and cables ran. Pretty sure Devonport CBD and North Devonport are scheduled RFS within the next two months! South Devonport, Stony Rise, Spreyton, East Devonport, and Latrobe not expected RFS until next year.
Latrobe (where I live) has seen no action that I've seen. East Devonport has just started civil works.
Pretty sure there will be a node there soon...
Saw the Contact Electrical fellas there this morning, pulling cables through (in the rain). Hoping in the next couple of days there'll be a shiny cabinet there :)
If only it didn't take so long to do all the other stuff... Finder says RFS in November, wonder if they're on track for that.
And, it's in � saw the data contractors there yesterday finishing it off. Not connected to power yet though, from what I can see:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/86
https://www.dropbo
There's also a new node gone up in front of the exchange in Bartley St, which wasn't there last time I looked, so that's 3 that I have seen in my wanderings....
https://www.dropbox.com/s/st
Just gotta wait for them all to be connected up I guess and we'll be RFS. Can't wait to see how long that takes.....
Possibly fibre has been brought to your house via aerial cable and NBN Co contractors have installed the outdoor box high-ish on your wall. This should now allow the indoor work to proceed.
Thanks. That was it. For some reason there a couple week gap between this and the box actually going on, but we're all connected now
Bronze Internode isn't too good so far, last night at peak was getting around 2/mbs . May upgrade to Silver

smells like congestion, upgrading to higher speed tier won't fix that. contact support and hopefully TPG will open the purse for a CVC upgrade.
FTTN ramping up in Latrobe, nodes beginning to pop up. One near the Mersey Hospital, another across from St Patricks Primary on Last Street.

So how many are they going to put in around Bells Parade given this
http://www.theadvocate.c
happened in June this year.
Does anyone know how to obtain information when the (now) FTTN might come into an area?
I'm situated in the South Arm exchange precinct. Some old spreadsheet has things planned for here Q3 2016. It doesn't look like anything will happen soon.
Hope not to have to wait too long.

Also on this exchange. Probably still be waiting in 2021 and be the last place in Australia to get it. Strange when there was Visionstream cars everywhere here in July 2013.

7NWT-05 Glenorchy became Ready for Service today, have booked in installation for 12th September which is the earliest date on offer currently
Yep same, except im booked in for Sep 1st. :)

Water almost never comes up that high, once in 100 year floods. Worst that happens is Bells Parade goes under a bit, but no nodes will be in that area as there aren't any houses.
Areas of Devonport have gone RFS according to Telstra Store Devonport and mynbn. Devonport CBD and North Devonport should be able to order now, other areas not due for RFS until next year.
Saw Contact Electrical running fibre down Main Rd Hadspen today and into the node on South Esk Drive....
Hopefully that's a good sign that things are on track to be RFS RSN. Have seen data contractors working pretty constantly too.
There's also a new node gone up in front of the exchange in Bartley St, which wasn't there last time I looked
I am confused, and pissed off, with a similar thing here in Campbell Town.
My home, and business, are currently about 80mts East from the front door of the exchange.
Now that Malcolm's mess is under way the bright sparks in design have decided to install a Node, new pit and new pillar some 80mts to the west of the exchange. They had to drill under the Midland highway.
Chatting to a nice tech...he was able to confirm that yep,...my place is now fed from that node.
I obviously haven't kept up with all the changes to this excuse for a NBN, but I was under the impression that the actual exchange building was in itself a node which is why I was surprised and alarmed when brand new infrastructure and node went in so close to the exchange.

Damn, that sucks a bit. At that distance you still should get decent speeds but obviously closer would have been better!
Is it DataTel doing the work there? They've been here almost every day, including Sundays. Saw them early Sun morning, yesterday and today. Pumping water out of the pit I think and running cable from pillar/pit to node, I've been meaning to ask them how it's all going but haven't plucked up the courage.
The pillar is actually further from my place than the nearest node so if the copper goes house -> pillar -> node then my cable run will be a touch longer than I think too.
Surprised Hadspen is getting so many nodes, there are at least 4 that I know of (Main St, Bartley St, 2 on either end of South Esk Drive).
Is it DataTel doing the work there?
Not Datatel. We had Kiss Telecom doing all the work.
Now Telstra are around trying to make sense of, and fix up what has been done.
As far as I can tell Campbell Town will have 3 nodes.
At that distance you still should get decent speeds but obviously closer would have been better!
I just wish there was some way to tap into all the fibre that runs through our property and is 4m from where I sit typing this.
They probably won't let me as it is the main fibre trunk for Tassie. :)
Well VisionStream went basically belly-up here in Tassie due to various self-inflicted reasons. After that the Govt stopped work.
I have written to NBN and they replied :
"Our rollout map indicates your address, xxxxxxxxxx, Opossum Bay, TAS, is in a Build Commenced area and will be getting Fibre To The Node technology. Work started in your area in this quarter and may take approximately 12 months to complete.
"Build commenced means nbn has issued contract instructions to construction partners so they can commence work in this area. The build commenced boundaries may be subject to change during the construction process. nbn continues to review its rollout information and this is an ongoing process. During the Build Commenced phase, you'll receive mail correspondence from nbn, detailing the works required for your area.
I wonder who the mob is that will do this job.
To hurry things up, I could do a job application :)
During the Build Commenced phase, you'll receive mail correspondence from nbn, detailing the works required for your area.
Is this something new? Didn't happen here...but then it could be just me...I'm still waiting on my census form :)
Shame I have had no official communication (letterbox drop, etc) from NBN Co, nor have I had an email (and I am on their mailing list to be updated on progress in my area).
I'd suggest to sign up to the mynbn mailing list for updates. I received an email the day before it was supposed to go live, and I rang straight away and booked an appointment.
Mat.
Great to hear
And he is still awaiting for the VoIP to work. Should happen soon. In all tho the whole exercise has taken 2 weeks for him. I suppose there are worse horror stories than this case.
What I'd like to find out is which mob is going to do the job in the South Arm area. if it has been let out, what is the hold up? Got a mate from Old Beach and he's on Q2 2016 and no one in sight.
Hi,
Just wondering when they are doing construction in an area whether they wait til the whole area is completed before switching it on or as they finish sections of the area? I will be connected to FTTN and i know they just erected the node near my place about 600m away from me, i am in the chigwell area.
Currently on NBN FTTP. Wondering if anyone can help, was looking at property in Moonah, Florence Street. I know the sites can be a bit all over the place so just wanted to know whether there is any service in that area and is it FTTN or Premises.
It currently says it's being built and going to be FTTN.
It currently says it's being built and going to be FTTN.
yup, no FTTP in that prticular rollout area.
yup, no FTTP in that rollout area.
That's real unfortunate for that area, its like a blackspot in that whole region.
I'd suggest to sign up to the mynbn mailing list for updates. I received an email the day before it was supposed to go live, and I rang straight away and booked an appointment.
Thanks, that's a good suggestion � will do that....
Nodes seem to be all connected to power now, and saw a Visionstream vehicle there this morning noting down some info. I think most of the work on the physical infrastructure must be pretty close to finished � not sure what they have to do elsewhere, but I'm hoping maybe RFS a bit earlier than the slated November date.
Devonport first FTTN connections made, how about some feed back on connection and satisfaction with service.
Will be very interesting to start to see some Devonport feedback regarding FTTN. I live in Latrobe and recently a node has popped up approx 600 metres from my house, I phoned NBN co to ask about the expected speeds considering the distance from my house to the node. They seemed to think at least 60 down would be easily achieved and that 1km is considered an acceptable distance for the length of copper from the node to the home. This seems contrary to information ive read on other websites. Do you guys have any idea what sort of speeds I should expect being this far from the node?
Also looking forward to reports on Devonport NBN. Also in Latrobe, about 300m away from closest node, though there is another one about 700m away. Let the node lotto begin!
