Nope. You're syncing above the 25/5 line. I assume you're on the 12/1 plan?

Doh!
I didn't even realise it was possible to order something this slow on NBN :-(

Did you sign up to the 'Superfast � Limitless' $79.99 plan??
(As that is @ 25/5 speed, despite the use of the word 'Superfast')
:-/
So my 33 during the day is down to 8 after 7 pm. iiNet
Anyone know much about 5REL-01??
Christie Rd, Lonsdale, neighboring businesses can get NBN but it shows as RFS yet additional work is required for our address (we are surrounded by industrial shops/workplaces)
Went RFS on the 8th July but has not updated from additional work required since.
Great to hear a good news story
I am assuming you are on a 12/1 plan?
Yeah. Now I know the max speed of my line I can move to a plan with higher speed.
So i've been keeping an eye on throughput of my connection (TPG 100/40, syncing at 107735/44199 on 5REL-02-01).
https://s9.postimg.org/lpql7jd1r/congestion2.jpg
You can see the affect of peak times on throughput and ping... Numbers will be skewed a little due to usage and the fact it's running on an rpi but it's fairly indicitive of peak vs non-peak
Yea, definitely sounds like a CVC issue with your RSP.
Wow your making a lot of people very jealous, do you know your distance to the node?

Wondering what tool you are using to do this?

Exactly. Sorry for not being too upset for you

Why does this suburb seem so horrific for FTTN anyway? Earlier there were like 5 people in a row with terrible connections
Dodgy copper maybe? Who knows with FTTN.
Yea, definitely sounds like a CVC issue with your RSP.
Indeed, it was to be expected with TPG. If it gets noticebly bad i'll move elsewhere, currently two 1080 streams from netflix run fine during peak (for now). Pings while gaming are noticebly higher during those hours.
Wow your making a lot of people very jealous, do you know your distance to the node?
NBN tech advised it was right around 200m.
Wondering what tool you are using to do this?
http://www.cacti.net/ with https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli running under Raspbian on a Raspberry Pi
So after a bit of hassle, Belong has connected me after waiting 24 hours with an active NBN line.
First speed test, 0.49Mbps � yup, it's about double what I was getting on ADSL2+
Tested on multiple devices, wired, wireless � it's definitely congestion.
Sync'd at 28/6.4 � so nothing wrong there.
Great first experience of NBN. But on the positive side, whilst it's only 0.49, there's 0 packet loss, which with ADSL2+ I was experiencing 1 dropped ping for every 3-5 successful pings. So I'm going to say that I'm extremely happy to have reliable internet now. Just would like to get what I'm paying for ... or even just 12/1 at the least?
First speed test, 0.49Mbps
Looks like it points to congestion. Beinf peak hour. It should climb back up to your speed tier later tonight. Dropping to 12/1 won't do anything for congestion speeds.
Oh dear! My WIMAX downloads at 1.4MB/S hope things pick up for you.
Just got tech booked for the 28/8 thanks Internode, good speed in processing my application.
Hi All,
Having a pretty disappointing day, I signed up with Internode on a 100/40, when NBN rocked up today to make the connection they claimed some "known" issues on my circuit limiting my connection to around 20Mbits due to High frequency interference from ADSL services? They reckon the more people move off ADSL and on to NBN the quicker it will get. Does this sound crap or not?
I ended up contacting Internode and changing my plan down to 25Mbits so I wasn't wasting $$$. The guy at internode seemed surprised that I could only connect at around 24Mbits
Anyway below are my modem details, appreciate if you could help me finding a way to improve my service or if I am lumped with average service.

Perfect result for FTTN. That is what your line can handle, won't get much more on FTTN, so good result.
Are you still on the 100/40 plan? Or currently 25/5? Edit: Can you provide a speed test?

How far are you from the node? More than one phone point in the house / splitters / filters etc..?
Looks like it points to congestion. Beinf peak hour. It should climb back up to your speed tier later tonight. Dropping to 12/1 won't do anything for congestion speeds.
Yep, did a test about half hour later and got 20Mbs, did another at about 9pm at 17Mbs, and just did one then 22/4.8Mbs. Majority of my stuff downloads at around 11am, so peak congestion will not affect 90% of my usage. Happy enough with this for now :)
anyone using TPG for NBN connection? They seem to be the only one I can go with that won't increase my monthly cost $59.95 per month and still get unlimited data (i know it's still only 12/1 speeds but that might be alright for now).
anyone using TPG for NBN connection?
Yes. Several of us in this thread are. Very smooth setup. Modem arrived within 2 business days. I never even saw the technician, the connection was just live right at the start of the install window.
On the other hand, my speed is not great (30mbps on a 100 plan), but that's not TPG's fault. Now I have to decide whether to keep the 100 plan for the sake of 5mbps, or drop down tp the 25 plan. Unfortunately TPG doesn't offer a 50 plan, or I'd do that.

Similar boat here, ( 38/18) costs me an extra $30 month. But the one thing I do not want to lose is the 18 upload down to 5, so I want a 50/20 plan, only thing is iinet dont have one. Internode do but it's not saving me any money to use that plan over the one i am on for 100/40
4 days of nbn and now down since lunch
Cant sync, internode have no idea
Another fault logged with internode
Technician probably stuffing around at pillar/node today
I've also had a good experience with TPG. The connection process was very smooth, even when i contacted them after i had had trouble connecting due to a password issue.
Internode do but it's not saving me any money to use that plan over the one i am on for 100/40
Just remember that NBNco & their CVC controls the pricing... The RSP's/ISP's pay NBNco almost the same to provide the end user 50/20 vs 100/40.
There are some RSP's that can still supply 50/20 but as I said, the price difference isn't really justifiable.
I could possibly point you to a RSP that might be able to help.
Cheers

No sure on my distance from the Node, I will need to explore on the weekend.
Only 1 phone line into my house terminated straight into my patch panel, no splitters etc.
I have previously had a break in my underground cable when my driveaway was laid but repaired by Telstra so can only assume it's not an issue.
The NBN tech made it sound like it was a known issue and other are impacted so I don't believe I have any specific faults but nothing can be assumed....
No sure on my distance from the Node, I will need to explore on the weekend.
Just remember that the line probably does not take the shortest route to the 'node'
I, or any of the RSP's could give you an indication of cable length between your property and the FTTN Node.
However, the condition of internal cabling at your property WILL likely have a detrimental effect on FTTN NBN connection speeds and internet connectivity /performance etc...
Cheers
Ernie
Now that an extra 6 or 7 people seem to have NBN on my node, contention is rearing it's head. Even now, at 10:30, I'm only managing spikes up to 15/6. With consistent speed of around 3/1. So as I was on naked dsl. It's better in the mornings, around 25/12. I'm still syncing at the same speed (62/20 theoretical and 50/20 actual) but now am unable to ever actually use those speeds. I imagine it will worsen as more people use the node. Sad now.
In 05, with iiNet.
Ernie, do you estimate the cable length based on attenuation? Or do you have actaul cable length data? Cheers.
Ernie, do you estimate the cable length based on attenuation? Or do you have actaul cable length data? Cheers.
As a Reseller, I 'could' obtain information regards to exact cable lengths on the telecoms network. on a case by case basis...
Unfortunately, it turns out that customers expectations are a bit different to reality...
Cheers
Ernie
but now am unable to ever actually use those speeds. I imagine it will worsen as more people use the node. Sad now.
This sounds like...CVC congestion.
Speak/complain to your RSP/ISP about this, or change your internet provider...
It's beginning to become horrible to try and play any latency dependent game anywhere from 5pm at the earliest to about 11pm/midnight depending on if it is the weekend or not. At least my ADSL2 was consistent all the time.
Thanks for the replies Ernie. I agree about cvc issues.
If I recall, a node has a max capacity too, yes? 2gigabit? If so, once a node is full (up to 300 ports I think I read once??) wouldnt that problem make even cvc redundant, or at least become a local 'cvc' type issue.
When you says expectation vs reality, what do you man?
Thanks.
When you says expectation vs reality, what do you man?
What I meant by that was:
Customers often think that the cable at the house takes the shortest route, when in reality the cable 'might' take a very long route from a property to the Pillar / Node.
For example, just because you might be 300m away from the node, it 'could' mean that the cable length is 400m or even more
If you're able/willing, can I pm my details and you check my cable length? My attenuation suggests 500-650m, but a previous Telstra tech told me it was 250m.
check my cable length?
Probably best if you call your existing ISP. Explain you are having issues and ask them what the cable length is. The ISP's support portal will have this info.

So when I first signed up on 5REL01 (Hallett Cove Beach) I was very happy. 97/30ish speeds, super low ping, happy days indeed. This was on iinet with the TG1.
This last week has been pretty terrible with peak hour congestion already. Basically between 6pm � 11pm my downstream cuts to <40, which doesn't bother me since it's still a great speed compared to what I had prior to NBN, but my ping jumps to 180 � 220. I knew my downstream would drop with congestion, but didn't expect it to have such a dramatic effect on ping. 9 � 11 is basically the only time I get to play games online with my mates, and that's now a terrible experience.
I called iinet and they told me this was to be 'expected' (I was also told to be smarter and play at non-peak times, like that's possible for someone working a fulltime job). Apparently they're working on increasing their capacity, but no ETA on when that will be.
Is this the same for people on other ISPs? I'm not sure if I should wait this out, or switch over to someone who actually plans more than 1 month ahead. Fortunately I stuck to a month-to-month contract. I don't know if the TG1 will play nice with other ISPs, though.
Iinet are known to be fairly bad with CVC congestion. Apparently TPG and Telstra are alot better when it comes to peak time congestion.
I am sure your current router shouldnt be a problem if you switched to another ISP.
Yeah, here in o'halloran hill it's gotten terrible over the last well. Also iiNet. I have a consistent 45/18 and 5-6ms during quiet times(and always in the first days) and now it is only those speeds during bed time(midnight to 7am) then it's a gradual decline through the day until around 3:30-midnight. It is 6/6 and 120-200ms throughout those hours. And that's best case. A speedtest struggles up to those speeds. I can do one Netflix stream(720p), but nothing else.
This last week has been pretty terrible with peak hour congestion already. Basically between 6pm � 11pm my downstream cuts to <40,
Man you need to write to the local member of parliament or start a picket line somewhere that's pathetic
BTW. I get maximum 35mb/s in off peak times just because you were lucky with node lotto and I wasn't.
Happy NBN day ... #sigh
Finally got the NBN today � glad I didn't sign up for a 100mb plan

I know, I was just being an ass. He shouldn't be complaining from where I sit
Is this the same for people on other ISPs?
I'm just south of Candy Rd, so I'm in the Happy Valley part of 05. With TPG, speed and latency is great throughout off peak periods, but it's over 120ms during peak and lots of jitter, which is horrible cause it's generally only when I get to play games with mates apart from weekends.
Yes he should
How's the congestion for you? I am finally starting to notice it (but not the lag).
How's the congestion for you? I am finally starting to notice it (but not the lag).
It's been good for the past week for me, definitely getting bad now though.
If take congestion right now lol
Nbn co are a bunch if clowns
iiNet here and I get 166ms ping around 8pm and the download of 6mb. On 25mb plan. Decided to pay the set up fees so I can move to another if the congestion got too annoying.
I'm going to move. iiNet had no interest in considering there being an issue. I tried two different operators.
I'm about 700m metres from the node on cove road Rd roundabout, all the phone line in the house got redone about 6 years ago ... Might be worthwhile getting done again as no longer need multiple ports in house.
With iiNet and there default modem, spent 20 mins on hold this arvo and gave up, will try again tomorrow ... Will see what they say if I finally get through
It is refreshing to finally be able to use things like Netflix, massive improvement, but was hoping for around 40 to 50 connection.
You purposely cut off my quote to make it sound like I'm complaining about my downstream. I wasn't. If you read the words immediately following the half-sentence you quoted, I said that the <40 speed during congestion 'doesn't bother me as it's still a great speed'.
You don't think I have anything to complain about? Well it's not all about downstream. What I was complaining about was the 200ms latency which makes it impossible to do one of the things I wanted the NBN to deliver on, which was allowing me to play online with my mates. While I couldn't stream netflix or do multiple things concurrently on my previous ADSL connection, I could at least get a consistent ping. Now I can't.
You sound really bitter. I'm sorry you don't live as close to your pillar as I do to mine. I got lucky that my node and pillar are both quite close to my house. But maybe don't be misleading with what I believe are legitimate concerns, and concerns shared by other people here who, like me, may be seeking advice on what to do about it.
How do I find out what node i'll be on? I'm on Sir James Hardy Way and think I'm in 5REL-07 but would be interested to know what node I'd be on? Have a mate who connected in Sheidow and has had no internet for over a week while they try to sort his connection. Leaning towards holding off on the connection once it hits RFS.
Twist of lemon, I'm pretty sure you're on a 25/5 profile. Especially with the attenuation figures vs attainable rate. Call your company and have them double check.
Yes, definately sounds like you are on a 25/5 profile as mentioned. Definitely get Internode to check that out.
Cheers!
Rang up Internode and they confirmed the NBN tech had set it to a 25/5 profile. Seemed to be a reasonably common occurrence based on what the Internode rep said.
Now to wait for the profile change to take effect. ?( ? )?
Tech number 4 coming out friday to look at fault
Wish me luck
Why so many?
Tech 1 Jumper wrong pair
Tech 2 jumper right pair but lasted 4 days
Tech 3 said nothing wrong even though i have no sync, have tried 2 modems and numerous cords and done isolation tests and had independant cabler test my internas
Tech 4 friday after admitting their is a fault
5REL-03, TPG.
Rang and complained to TPG about slow speed. After running through their modem reset and retest song and dance, the guy acknowledged that 13mbps is unacceptable on a 100mbps plan. He's escalated it to their next level techs.
We'll see if anything comes of this.

A WINNER in node lotto congrats, many here aren't so lucky.
Hi all, brand new to the club and not very tech savvy but would love to hear some advice please.
Live in Happy Valley so think I am on the right forum and was meant to have NBN connected on Wednesday.
Am with IInet and been told the cutover from ADSL to NBN was done however their modem did not accept the changeover with the internet connection staying red.
Numerous hours on phone with IInet on wed night / Thursday morning failed to resolve eventually leading to conclusion that modem (TG-1) supplied by iinet 4 months ago was faulty.
Decided to take matters into my hands thinking I could speed up process and purchase new modem D-Link DSL-2885A AC1200 ( 4 teenagers no internet is not a fun place to be never mind the parental sanity !!)
Loaded this all up last night and still no internet connection. Everything else loads fine.
Again on phone with iinet to be told this modem is not compatable and does not fall under Compliant nbn� FTTN/FTTB VDSL2 Modem/Routers.
Wondered if other people have "different" modems and got them to work when connected to nbn or whether there is actually a fault with the connection that iinet are not acknowledging, or any other theories that people might have please.
Thanks all
So, are there more towers going up in Hallett Cove Chad?
funny you mention that. But here isn't the place
Numerous hours on phone with IInet on wed night / Thursday morning failed to resolve eventually leading to conclusion that modem (TG-1) supplied by iinet 4 months ago was faulty.
If you were using this modem on ADSL I would have a guess the modem is NOT faulty, I could stand corrected though
You should not have bought a new modem the TG-1 is the best for iiNet NBN ( at least in compatibility)
I hope you can take the new modem back for a refund.
D-Link DSL-2885A AC1200 ( 4 teenagers no internet is not a fun place to be never mind the parental sanity !!)
Unfortunately, there is a very small list of modems that are compliant with the variant of the NBN (FTTN) that we are connecting to. Check out the following WIKI for that list:
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki
Unfortunately, unless you start doing research and digging, this information is not easily obtainable. I hope you can get a refund on that modem you bought.
All fixed
Tech was here for a good 2 and half hours
Was only picking up one line of the pair
Followed the line to the node which says cable length was 380mt but as he traced it ran up another street in another direction by 100mt and was an issue in that pit
In finishing now getting on the frtizbox
47.09 down
13.69 up
Heres to a happy ending
Was only picking up one line of the pair
what ?
It only runs on one pair anyway doesnt it?
only runs on one pair anyway doesnt it?
It was only picking up 1 of the 2 wires that make up the pair
Heres to a happy ending
Sigh, another hungry mouth to feed precious CVC capacity ;-)
Glad you got it sorted! Hope that's the end of it for you.
In finishing now getting on the frtizbox
47.09 down

What plan are you on? I didn't ask before...
Might be worthwhile doing another very quick 'isolation test' before spending money replacing that piece of internal cabling...
Cheers
Ernie
P.S glad he managed to find the broken wire !! :-/
Sigh, another hungry mouth to feed precious CVC capacity ;-)
Haha least we somewhat have an open ticket over in the internode section
What plan are you on? I didn't ask before...
50/20 plan
He has me 290 mts from node
Nbn maps say 380 line cable but he found that it goes off track for 100mt down bluehills rd away from node before chucking a u-turn back
Will be in touch
Nbn maps say 380 line cable
This is the important measurement... hopefully all the joints in this cable run are now good.
Based on 380 metres, you should be able to get around 80 down and 33 upload � or a little bit better.
With a lot of luck you might get quite close to 100/40.
Cheers
Ernie

No congestion with Belong anymore.. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/2144753486
5REL-05-17. Only on installation day was it congested (terribly) and since then I've tested every night to be ok. Maybe I'm missing *my node's* congestion periods when I'm testing.. I'm only on 25/5, so its not going to be as noticeable as 100/40
No congestion with Belong anymore
May have to look into changing provider, the only issue is whom.

Without combing through all your posts... do you often have good (full) speeds? and good bandwidth?
Changing provider might only affect your connection AFTER the POI, but the fault 'might' be between the 'node' and your property.
Need to 'measure the pattern' of slow connection to determine if it is congestion or something else.

Its congestion Ernie, slowing to a crawl at this time of day, especially on international links. Netflix US is terrible.

Well that looks like congestion then.... Complain VERY HARD to your ISP/RSP...and/or change provider.

Well congestion, and it is 'amplified' by faster sync connections such as NBN. Is a real problem... but the most important point is to eliminate any other issue other than the uplink/POI congestion problem.
Always best to eliminate all the local factors, such as internal cabling, and issues 'up to' the node.
that way any issues can be focused on things that are 'outside your control'
It is likely that these issues 'out of your control' aren't going to change, just by 'changing ISP/RSP'
Cheers
Ernie
Go Go congestion
Well, after having loads of drama with Telstra, and having the TIO involved, should be having my NBN connected next Tuesday in 5REL03-15. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly.
Probably the first from 5REL03-15 on here to go live. No other Telstra customers here?
No other Telstra customers here?
IMHO, considering that the NBN isn't under Telstra's control... I would say they might be the worst value NBN RSP.

I'd be sending this, and any subsequent statistics, emphasising a 'pattern' on a regular basis...
Ernie
To be frank... I suspect that since the hallett cove area has gone 'RFS' on NBN it is actually having a detrimental affect on ADSL2+ services in the area.
I can see since the general area has gone RFS, ADSL connections have gotten progressively worse. :-(
Some might call it 'coincidence' !!!!!
going to FTTN NBN soon, so I will be expecting reasonable connections / and reasonable bandwidth, even at 'peak times' .... but not holding my breath !
Not meaning to be biased, but I hope to be of use, at least to people in my immediate area... especially with my experience in Telecoms/NBN...
Ernie
Good luck ernie
You already have been of great help on here and in person and im sure as more ppl in your own suburb go to nbn they will need an expert with cabling to troubleshoot some issues

Yep, and I've noticed this in Reynella too with my ADSL2+ download speeds going from around 10-12 mb to 6-7 mb since we went RFS with NBN.
I'm with Internode and they all but admitted this is due to the NBN. Sp not only are we being forced to move to more expensive plans (at potentially slower download speeds) but they are killing our old speeds until we are forced to move to NBN (which is Feb 2018 anyway)

Tin hats for everyone....
Was due to be connected yesterday, good start with the contractor calling to see if he could come out earlier than scheduled, yep no worries.
Couldn't get a sync......... Might be a faulty port, provision new port
Sync at 2 Mbps yay even slower than my Wi-Max
Traces cable and it does not go the shortest path to the pillar but down side streets etc ~600M
Pulling cables up in the pits along the street........ Lots of head scratching
2 hours later comes back with a "sorry its not happening today" � :(
Its a strange one and haven't seen this before he said before advising
I can get 55mbps sync just up the street then there is a SA Power Networks transformer (in green cabinet) and on the pit on the other side of the transformer it drops to 2 Mbps!!
"I'm pretty sure the transformer is not earthed properly and causing interference and not the cabling as its pretty much brand new (new area)" and thats why you are only getting 2 Mbps
Well now the fun and games begin they will need to send someone out from NBN to confirm what the contractor has advised and when they do I assume contact SA Power networks....
Then RSP books another appointment with NBN I assume...
Sounds like weeks and weeks of delays.
The only positive from all this is he believes I should get close to 50/20 (I signed with Aussie on a 50/20 plan). Connected to 5REL-03 Sheidow Park
It's never easy is it!
I feel your pain
I had similar but slightly different issues
Have to push the RSP hard as they are the only conduit between yourself and the NBN co
May the force be with you
Cheers, going to need the force, some luck and a lot of pushing the RSP to get it sorted!

Agreed. Either the tech got it wrong or there is an issue somewhere.
Tech said the 240 was incorrect, but was closer to 340m.
I do have a extra phone point in the house. Might try that one.
Does anyone have any idea of when 5REL-08 is coming online? Latest leaks seemed to indicate July (previous leaks said early August), but August is about to disappear and no news.
My current ADSL2+ connection is crawling along at 1.5Mbps on a dry day. Have had techs to check that internally nothing is wrong (there isn't); I'm sure it's just line length as my end of Equestrian Dr is notoriously bad (either way, have finally managed to get Telstra to come out tomorrow to check the line after lots of noise with Internode).
My Node (5REL-08-15-FND-001; I presume, it's the closest) has been on the street for about 8 months; anyone have any clues as to what the hold up is? I'm going mad (and over my mobile data cap) with this current shocking connection.
17.5db more like 700 meters or more

Remove it from the house entirely. Might make an improvement

Does look like it 'might' be an internal cabling problem... but unless you are a Registered Cabler then you are not allowed to work on it.
I would recomend an 'isolation test' to eliminate internal cabling as the source of the problems.
What speed of connection is Telstra actually providing to you? are they giving a 'Speedboost'?
Lots of questions need answers before you really find out what the issue is
Cheers
Ernie
Telstra still need to add Speedboost 100/40. Takes 24hrs to become active. Was added for free.
Tested both lines in the house, the 2nd line was considerably slower. By about 10Mbps
Remove the 2nd line for sure. But i dont think youre 250 meters maybe crow but youre path probably goes around the block then gets there. And id be checking about the speedboost being free. If it was it would already be activated
It has been confirmed free, it wasnt added to my order originally. Just lets say I have had a lot of fun with Telstra at the moment, and the TIO has been involved.
I had to get it added when my service was activated.
As ZacB said, line length was probbaly closer to 750m
Does is actually say speedboost on you're account page? And yes i also have had issues with telstra and nbn stemming 2 months. Let us know how youre speed is in peak times.
an update...
Was able to finally connect to NBN on friday night after some 6 hours spent with Customer support thru my provider.
One final try and I actually got through to someone who fixed my issue in 15 minutes going back to my old TG-1 modem.
5 other reps had me doing more resets and reboots and changes of modem than I want to do again in my lifetime....
So here's to a world of improved internet speed.....

Latest info suggests 4th Nov.
*groan*
Thanks... that is incredibly frustrating. So much for July/August. Whatever happened to faster, sooner, cheaper? (Rhetorical, I know what happened)
(?�?�)?? ???
Well, since sometime Friday afternoon, my downstream attenuation has increased from ~13dB to 18dB, SNR has dropped from ~5 to 2.8dB on my old RIM ADSL2+ (on RELA G138)
No change in sync speeds yet, but we're still 2 weeks away from RFS � I fear this will only get worse from here on out.
So long proto-FTTN.
I reckon you'll find they will build as close as they can to the RIM with the new node, use it for ADSL and voice up until everyone has transitioned over and then just remove them. But I really am not sure.
Yep, one of the FTTN cabinets is right next to the RIM+Tophat on Education Road
After the 18 months though, unless there is a fiscal impetus (selling on or reusing the equipment) to remove them sooner, I imagine they'll stay for many years derelict before finally being removed.
Thanks for the reply's. Cant wait to get off this horrid RIM and the terrible plans that come with it.
I'm on the opposite track, the RIM here is rather close and has been very reliable � it's actually been one of the best DSL connections I've ever had � I've been sitting pretty at ~18mbps for a nice while.
Much better than the terribad connection at my last place, which could barely maintain 2mbps to STMN...
Just got connected. RIP WIMAX

Hoping my 100/40 plan is going to deliver better than the current max of 35mbps I am getting.
Depends what your Max line rate is.
What is the best way to find that out? Provider?
Check on your router. It will show the line statistics on there.
I've found an extra 9mbps from somewhere. Now getting 39mbps on my 100/40 plan.
The only thing that's changed in the last week has been the monitored alarm people physically disconnecting the no-longer used phone line from the alarm box. If that's a 9mbps win, then I'm hopeful there may be more when the TPG tech, en-route as I type, goes over the line.
I'm hopeful there may be more when the TPG tech, en-route as I type, goes over the line.
...and the copper says "Nope!" 39mbps at the lead-in. That's as good as it's going to get. The tech will submit his report to TPG, but I dunno if they'll go back to NBN with it, considering 25mbps is "spec" for an up-to-100 mbps plan. And even if they do, NBN will probably just say "within spec" anyway.
At least I know the internal house wiring is fine.
Now, I wonder what NuSkope are doing...

Got around to making my order today. 5REL-03 about 370m from the node. Sticking with Internode, 25/5 and getting the TG-1. Some of the stories I've just read don't fill me with much confidence about what's to come. Not worried about the speeds so much, just hoping it all gets sorted properly.
Well thats comforting as I'm due to be going live on that node on Wednesday.
Congestion for me last night too. Also iiNet. In 05. Ping was high, speed was low :(

same here, >120 ping and 10mb. Although the download has been as low as 3mb on the 25 mb plan just after joining. It had been getting better but dropped again in the last few days.
Mine has been sitting fairly rock solid through peak times. Havent seen it dip below 39Mbps. Wife has been happy watching Netflix. So that's a good sign. 5REL03-15
f you have had a naked service for anything longer then 3 months, they can't guarantee the condition of the line. It's simply to ensure that it all works OK.
Well I received a text yesterday afternoon to say they were now connecting this Thursday morning and they don't need to be at my home. Interesting that this is the third message I've had with different times and request to be at home and no need to be at home. If it doesn't work well then I'll be getting them out to my home. It's a PIA as I've arranged time off work to be at home and now I have to cancel that.

How has your connection been Pete?
Good to see some people are having an ok experience with NBN.
I'm in the 5REL-05 area (Happy Valley).
Received an email 2 weeks ago saying we were about to be connected to the NBN. Called up telstra to say we haven't signed up to any plan yet and were told it is happening automatically on the lowest NBN plan at same cost as current ADSL2 plan. They sent a new modem and phone, which was set up last week with new SSID and password, still on ADSL connection though.
Next email was telstra telling us we would be disconnected for a few hours and then we would be on NBN.
5 days ago ADSL was disconnected during the day and we waited until the evening to call and ask why we haven't been re-connected. We were told there is a problem with the NBN line which won't be fixed until the 15th of September, and worse, that our ADSL couldn't be re-connected.
After telling telstra it wasn't good enough we were told to go to a telstra shop and get a 4G wireless dongle to connect to with 30 gig loaded up, with unlimited re-loads until we have NBN. That has lasted 3 days but now we are told it will be 2 to 3 days to get more gigs loaded. 3 kids, 1 doing year 12 with 2 assignments due in a few weeks.
Will be going to the ombudsman tomorrow but I just thought I'd share my story to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Also any advise on what else to do would be great. New ISP resolve the issue quicker perhaps?
I have had a very fun experience with Telstra. They are pathetic when it comes to customer service, and my case manager went MIA when I made a complaint. Got the TIO involved, and had my issues mostly sorted.
In short
Submitted Telstra Bundle order to Telstra 25/07 Install date 04/08. Found out that they didnt apply the free speedboost etc.
Check Order Status daily leading up to appointment, got changed to the 23/08 on the 3/08. No notification from Telstra
Called Telstra on 3/08 to see what the go was. Found they didnt link the order properly to NBN Co, hence NBN cancelling the appointment. Grr
Submitted Complaint to Telstra 5/08 , as was currently without Internet due to their stuff up, and also still not receiving the Telstra TV. Spoke to a case manager, advised this was being looked after. Advised excess data fees would be waived while using our mobile phones as hotspots.
9/08 � 15/08 Chasing up my Case manager regarding the above. Couldnt get any contact at all. Spoke to numerous people at Telstra, and they ensured she was going to get back to me.
16/08 � Sent Complaint to TIO
18/08 � Got a SMS saying my Telstra TV is on the way
19/09 � Give Telstra another call regarding my complaint. Still wasn't getting anywhere, then asked to confirm date with NBN Co. Waited 10mins, soon as I was off hold, a supervisor spoke to me and advised me that all my excess data fees would be waived etc, and the Telstra TV is on the way. And he also wanted to ensure that my NBN is definitely being connected on the 23/08. Was very aplogetic. Been waiting a while to hear this!
22/08 � Call Telstra to confirm appointment with NBN Co. All confirmed for tomorrow. Even though I had to wait on hold for close to 40mins...
23/08 � Finally Connected to NBN, but on base speedboost. 25/5
30/08 � Got my max speedboost applied. Still waiting for my data fees to be waived on our mobiles. Still havent heard from Case Manager.
At least I dont suffer from congestion issues and speeds are good. Guess that is the only positive from this whole experience.
Long time lerker, first time poster.
I'm a 5REN-03-05 user and can see the node from my front lounge.
Signed up to a 100/40 as I synced previously at 20(ish)Mbps on a tophat with Telstra.
NBN VDSL Sync, 3-5Mbps/0.9Mbps, but I do get internet, which is great.
Now obviously something is wrong, but it's annoying I now have to prove I have something wrong to log a job with NBNCo (Through Internode). Tried another router, but still the same. Now have to wait a couple of days recording speed tests to arm iiNet/iNode with a case to log with NBNco. I suspect noise on the line, but I dont' know how to read the attenuation values or have an analogue handset. I'll just wait it out....
Better than my neighbour though. Coming up to 12 Weeks without a phone line or internet and he never wanted to change; just lost dialtone one day. His 'fixup' appointment was today as well, but he didn't contact his Case Manager yesterday to confirm. Now he has to wait until the 15th for another appointment. :) sucks to be him and his wife's home business. His case manager isn't impressed, but I wouldn't be impressed if i had no internet for over 10 weeks.

What are your stats off the router? what router do you have and we may help you get them if you dont know how
I'm in Hallett Cove. Not sure which Node I'm on, or how to tell, but would like to know � I suspect its the one up the street and round the corner.
Went from 2mbps max down and less than 1mbps up to what seems like a fairly steady 60-65mbps down/26-28mbps up.
Most speedtests I run reflect this although in some peak times it drops to about 40mbps down � which is still 20x faster than what I had on ADSL2 anyway.

well if you on the west side of the railway line i can help, if not then someone else may help, nearest cross road would help though?

Yeah pretty good, getting higher pings than normal around peak times but speed is ok.
The more people getting hooked up to our node I think it will change unfortunately.
Cheers.
And even if they do, NBN will probably just say "within spec" anyway.
Yup. TPG called to say that NBN won't investigate further as I'm above the minimum (25mbps), and my line length from the node is 906 metres(!!).
I guess with that length of copper I should be glad I'm getting 39mbps.

Yup. TPG called to say that NBN won't investigate further as I'm above the minimum (25mbps), and my line length from the node is 906 metres(!!).
You could try complaining to your local MP and also submit a request for a 'NBN Technology Change'. (To FTTH)
There are other options, but they're not going to be 'low cost'
At 900 odd metres that's what I'd expect for FTTN.
Welcome to the NBN MTM (Malcolm's Total Mess)
Ernie
submit a request for a 'NBN Technology Change'.
Considering it'll cost $660 just to get them to quote, and the quotes I've heard of start around $8,000 at the low end, this won't be happening unless I win lotto :)
It's ADSL all over again.
That's the whole problem � it still is DSL, just a different variety of it. So shoving immense data along lengths of shitty copper that was never intended to handle it, just that you're going to a node rather than the exchange � which in some ways is worse because from there you then face RSP and overall node congestion.
^ thats the truth and the whole truth right there........MTM legacy to Australia.
Hey Question. I've noticed if I re-sync my VDSL 5 or so times, it changes from 4Mbps sync to 50+Mbps sync.
I'm managed to get 50+ a couple of times now, which lasts for a number of hours at that speed. Any crazy speculations by Whirlpoolers?

Sounds like a high resistance cable fault, this could be in your internal cabling � or it could be between your property and the pillar/node.
Only way to tell is an isolation test by a Registered Cabler or even a TDR test to check cabling back to the pillar/node.
Do you have a 'phone service'? or just Internet?
Generally, only the carrier/NBNco has TDR testers, very few Registered Cablers own these TDR's as well :-)
Ernie
Just internet. I only have 1 point in the house, swapped cables between modem. It's a new house and my ADSL was find and stable at 20+ meg for 8 years (when I built the house). Even thought it's unlikely the house, I'll check it out.
I might be able to steal my Fluke TDR at work for some private usage, but I'm bound to get arrested for working on current providing wire without a license.
The only other question is other than Dial B4 U Dig or a TDR, is there a way to find my distance to the Node? There is a node across from my house in the park, but I don't know whether my cable goes down the street, up the road, and around the bend :)

Hmmmm....assuming you are qualified you 'should' be able to isolate the problem
(not meaning to be condecending)
Well, if you are a qualified Registered Cabler, you 'should' be able to do this � with out asking me about it............
There's NO 'LICENCE' it is all about being a 'Registered Cabler' (with the correct endorsements)

After waiting six years for NBN, got connected today.
Location: Hallett Cove, down Arafura Court.
I'm posting this for general interest sake. My area has a serious issue for poor quality internet. WiMax is barely passable here during peak times, no NuSkope wireless service and even Telstra 3G/4G reception is weak/flakey.
Originally: With WiMax I was getting up to 3Mbits/sec down and 0.8Mbits/sec up. This is the best case scenario.
At peak times I've seen it go as low as 0.2Mbps download. Never mind the ping, online gaming was out of the question.
Now connected to TPG FTTN 100/40 unlimited plan using a Fritzbox 7490 I get.
35Mbit/sec download and 7.3Mbits/sec up.
Speedtest: http://beta.speedtest.net/result/5596115126
Not great, but way better than WiMax.
Signal attenuation from the Fritzbox is 27dB down and 48dB up. At such large attenuation, I'm lucky the DSL technology even works. SNR is 6dB both download and upload.
Further details I obtained by speaking to the NBN contractor:
I'm 1 km from the Telstra cabinet. I guess that is the node.
Tagging along with the NBN sub-contractor today and using his portable VDSL testing tool we measured at the pillar:
Max. downstream data rate: 54.8Mbps
Max. upstream data rate: 32.8Mbps
Photo of screen: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zqv
Using that same tool, at home 300 metres from the pillar, measured from the phone socket:
Max. downstream data rate: 38.6Mbps
Max. upstream data rate: 8.9Mbps
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7e
I guess this is it, I waited six years and this is Turnbull's 21st Century Australian Broadband network!
Evidence:
Fritzbox 740 DSL summary screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u7o
DSL detail screenshot:

DSL spectrum graph:
https://www.dropbox.co
Finally got connected up today to 5REL-02-08, signed up for 50/20 on Internode and according to the Fritzbox I get 22Mbit/s down and 11.5 Mbit/s up. Might end up downgrading to 25/5 although the up speed is wonderful, uploaded a video this morning that took about 24 mins instead of the roughly 2 hours it would have taken before.
I'm 1 km from the Telstra cabinet. I guess that is the node.
Jeez, and I thought mine was bad.
Funny thing is, the NBN tech that came to my place said they are not allowed to connect anyone that is over 850m from the Node.
Max. downstream data rate: 54.8Mbps
Max. upstream data rate: 32.8Mbps
Using that same tool, at home 300 metres from the pillar, measured from the phone socket:
Max. downstream data rate: 38.6Mbps
Max. upstream data rate: 8.9Mbps
So it looks like the same as me, that the pillar is a long way from the node, like 400 -500 mtrs? Giving you a km of copper
Funny thing is, the NBN tech that came to my place said they are not allowed to connect anyone that is over 850m from the Node.
I haven't heard that one
So it looks like the same as me, that the pillar is a long way from the node, like 400 -500 mtrs? Giving you a km of copper
My nearest node is near Grand Central Avenue around 150m away (direct flight path) from my closest pillar (RELA P21), according to the Google Map link at the top of this thread.
I estimate 450m from my house to the node. Technician said 1km to "Telstra cabinet" (guessing that is the node), so an extra length of 550m of copper along the entire run. I have no idea how the telephone wires are laid out here.
Back 8 years ago when we had ADSL service here, we were lucky to get 1-2 Mbit/sec over an estimated 4km to the telephone exchange. As the weather got wet, ADSL would even fail to handshake/establish a link.
Will see how FTTN (VDSL2) goes for reliability. 1km is a lot better than 4km.
Anyone on 5REL-02-05 and experiencing dropouts in the last couple of days? Optus have scaled back my connection today, but don't really fancy dropping the speed off by below 75mbps when paying for a 100mbs plan...
Anyone on 5REL-02-05 and experiencing dropouts in the last couple of days?
Not that node but 03-02 � yes, dropouts once or twice a day but only for a minute at a time. Perhaps others getting connected?
They have created a have and have not society for internet speed. It's wrong. It's unfair and it's unAustralian.
This government has ruined it for many of us ( middle to older folks) for the rest of our lives.

I doubt it. If by the way you mean Nuskope wireless. Well, it's only up to 30 mb and I get that on FTTN
I'm talking at least 100 mbs now to make me happy, Oh that's right I can get it on Telstra or Optus 4G data as I am pretty close to the towers, I just think it might cost a bit much to use the way I want to :)
Unless the private sector steps in to offer a better solution
Would be nice but i doubt it. Lock me in for a 6 year contract and give me ftth and i'll bite.......

Hi, I'm living in Victor Harbor S.A and have FTTP. I'm paying for 100/40 and my latest speedtest
tells me I'm getting 98/38. Very happy with this, feeling sorry for people having to put up
with all that crap the libs dreamed up giving a lot of people a bad time and wasting loads
of money in the process! Still there must be some happy people around cause looking at the
news them there libs still running the country!!!!
yes :) That would be nice. This is the thing, nothing against you personally � but why is it fair that you get this and I don't. ( I know why)
Just pointing out that private companies can do it better, and are doing it better.
If everyone on NuSkope is capable of pulling those speeds but are connected at 30/5 all the time that means no congestion and a healthy network. Quality over quantity.
just noticed the rfs date on telstra latest wholesale list for 5rel-07 is 9th sept instead of 7th of oct.
My adsl line keeps dropping out and only syncing <1mb last couple of days. wondering if they are doing work..

My bad.. I forgot to click on the "Expected RFS " tab on the bottom of the page.
Parents just had their NBN connected in 5REL-03-15, about 300-350 metres from the node according to the tech.
On a 100/40 with Telstra, really disappointing speeds so far but I'm fairly certain the internal wiring is responsible.

Are you sure that Telstra has actually applied the 100/40 speedboost?
I had a client in Hallett Cove, who had internal cabling issues that I fixed up, but they still got slowish speeds.
A call to Telstra showed that the service was not 100/40 despite another Telstra CSR previously saying it was 100/40.
An isolation test will prove if there are internal cabling problems.

You should be getting far better being that close. Like you said, internal wiring could be the issue.

Well I received a text yesterday afternoon to say they were now connecting this Thursday morning and they don't need to be at my home.
Didn't work so now we have no internet at home and have to wait ten days for a tech to come to the home. What a bloody run around .
If you read through the thread, treat it as a blessing in disguise! At least when the tech leaves, you will know if everything is OK.

Yeah, if only!!
Thought I'd just post again after a few weeks to update for anyone asking about speeds. On 5REL05-17, absolutely no slow downs during peak period (Belong Internet) � Note I'm on 25/5, so if there WAS a slowdown, it's not going slower than 2.8MB/s from 5pm-12am � so those with 100/40 might have a slowdown, but I am not noticing it.
Does anyone know if Belong use the same CVC capacity as Telstra? I know for ADSL, it was a completely different system (TelcoInABox) and nothing to do with Telstra besides the ownership, but with NBN do they work separate or as one?
I try to start my big Xbox downloads in the morning to share the system around, but some nights I'm part of the cause for congestion :P
On a 100/40 with Telstra, really disappointing speeds so far but I'm fairly certain the internal wiring is responsible.
Sounds like you are a lot further than 350m. I am on 5REL03-15, but around 700m from the node, and getting around 44/31with Telstra.
Would definitely get your internal wiring checked.
Dismal peak time speeds in recent nights, drops as low as 3 Mbit/s between 5pm-12am. Other times it get as high as 94/30

Since nbn has gone rfs [5rel-02] my adsl2 connection has been nothing short of woeful... Cant even "upgrade" to nbn without paying some stupid contract cancellation fee on my adsl service so stuck with another 5 months of this ridiculous service.

The same isp wont let you change to nbn without paying cancellation fee? have you pushed it with them?
Same isp probably wont charge me to upgrade but they charge too much for a decent speed connection
In theory, word has it that my FTTN will get connected tomorrow (I have a feeling that Telstra have been contracted to do it, since I got an automated call a few days ago about the appointment).
I tried to get a note through to the installer about the noise suppression added to our line (due to the near by radio tower), with luck it gets through, since if it's left in place, I hear it will stuff up FTTN.
Picked up the fritzbox and fon today, so with luck this will all go smoothly, if not, I'm stuffed, with no internet or phone and hence no means to tell anyone that it's not working.

Without the noise suppressor your line will pick up the radio frequency yes? Don't like your chances as fttn is super sensitive.

The telephone picks it up, yes, but my phone is about to be voip, so will no longer matter.
FTTN must work ok otherwise, given the whole area around the tower is now FTTN.

It can still pick up interference =(

I'm sure it "works" , but unless you completely rewire you house to stop the radio interference, you're gonna have a bad time.
5rel-07 showing as RFS on 9/9....
Is it worth signing up on the day or should we wait for any teething install issues? I work from a home office so Internet is quite important so can't afford to be down for a week or two if there's issues!
Is it worth signing up on the day or should we wait for any teething install issues?
In my opinion no blanket rule can be applied to everyone phone lines, there are always exceptions. What I can recommend is you either have extra phone extensions removed or have a dedicated VDSL2 line run to the modem by a qualified cable person. Your RSP can suggest such a person or do a quick search. The other thing is "try" to work out distance to the node (it's not straight line) so when you get connected it should get close to the mark.
Best of luck in NODE LOTTO!
Cheers Pete.
Ha cheers Pete, not confident of my lotto chances. We are about 400-500m from the node I think (assuming it follows the road which no doubt it won't) and there is a pillar not far up the road too so hoping we do alright! Is there anyway to find out the actual line distance and what pillar we are closest to � ie 5rel-07-xx?

Add broadband map data set. There should be a node somewhere in the boundary in which your house is located. If its close enough to your house you can even request the cabling map from telstra via the 1100.com.au (dial before you dig) website for free.. (or send a couple of requests of houses down the street from you so you get the complete map till u hit the node.. :)
Thanks Nikkon I'll have a look

As an aside, i live ~500m as the crow flies to the antenna, syncing at 100 (107735) interference doesn't appear to be an issue.
First time I have suffered from congestion tonight.
Getting 5/30. But ping times are still good 8ms.
Hopefully just a one off occurrence.

Nevermind.....

Had some congestion at the start but been good of late. Backhaul was supposedly increased last week so I'll keep my fingers crossed they stay on top of things.
just noticed the rfs date on telstra latest wholesale list for 5rel-07 is 9th sept instead of 7th of oct.
Assuming the eta of 9/9 was accurate, do we just keep an eye on the nbn site tomorrow to confirm when we can order a service?

Im on 5rel-07 and tpg website just let me sign up to nbn this morning (it wasnt letting me last night)
5REL-07 and just put the order through with Internode � scheduled changeover for next Thursday. The "estimate" reckons I should be good for 90-100 connection speed, just gone the 25/5 so will see what that's like. Fingers crossed I do well in the node lottery!

No fingers need crossing if you are only choosing 25/5.
5REL-07 booked for Thursday next week as well through internode. No discussions on speed, straight for the 100/40 plan for me!
No fingers need crossing if you are only choosing 25/5.
Cool, I looked at the 50 or 100 but figured I'd start low and if it's looking good then bump it up down the track. We get about 6 down and 0.5 up at the moment so 25/5 will be a decent improvement still
Im in 5REL-06 and just signed up with TPG for the 100/unlimited plan for $99. Hoping for good node lottery but i think id be around 550-600m from the node. Just want to get the best speed i can!
Spoke to Telstra today regarding congestion on 5REL-03-15. They had already noted that there was CVC capacity problems on the 5/09. They expect the new capacity to be added on the 19/09
This thread is really interesting. Made an account just to reply. I live on The Strand in Reynella near Oxford Street. I'm not entirely sure how far I am from a node. According to <https://www.google.com/maps/
Hi � just got the notification that NBN is available in my area � 5REL-07 � signed up tonight. Looking forward to it.
Provider is Internode.
All taken care of and I should be up and running on the 16th Sept.
I am about 50 metres away from a node (5REL-08-01-FNO-001), but really close to a pillar
Sounds like you're between me and that node (i think it's labelled incorrectly on the map)... You should get 100 without any issues
My friend recently connected to the NBN, he lives on Cheam Drive in Reynella.
He gets a whopping 20Mbit/0.84Mbit
He has to have a filter on his line otherwise the radio tower causes interference and he gets disconnected every 20 minutes or so. The technician said it was the radio tower and nothing he could do.
Ive told him he need to get his house re-wired but is doubtful it will work. Anyone near the tower successfully insulated their phoneline and do not get interference from the radio tower on the NBN?
I'm currently on ADSL2 but often it would be quicker for me to chisel 0's and 1's into a block of granite and get Australia Post to deliver them to a server somewhere, have someone chisel 0's and 1's into another block of granite and get then posted (surface mail) back to me.
ROFL :)
He has to have a filter on his line otherwise the radio tower causes interference and he gets disconnected every 20 minutes or so. The technician said it was the radio tower and nothing he could do.
This is most unacceptable. :(
Is fibre-optic susceptible to radio interference, or just copper? :)

I see! Sorry my knowledge of physics is not too good, I figured since light is an electromagnetic wave maybe it is susceptible to electromagnetic interference too? (guess not!)
getting us connected to the Internode 100/40 plan with a TG-1 router
Minimal congestion issues during peak hours on Internode, compared to those on other providers anyway. TG-1 router is sufficient. I recommend upgrading the firmware immediately as some Wireless-N devices were slow/dropping initially for me. The firmware update fixed that.
I'm around 250-300m away from the node and get 55mbps down, but it goes down to around 20-30mbps during peak times. On one occasion it dropped to 5mbps down during peak but this was a once off occurance.
I can finally utilise my 4k screen once I have a >30Mbit connection.
You would easily get double that
signed up for tpg friday morning, still havent got an install date from them. I see all you node ppl got one pretty much straight away. :\

I went with TPG on Friday arvo and got an install date of 23/9 so i dont know what the issue is with yours. Applied through the website also.

Same here, gave them a call then came back and said it was booked in for Thursday this week :)
I'm on 5REL-06 and still no RFS :(
Telstra Wholesale still says 9/9 so I guess it's just back to waiting...
Im in 5Rel-06 and it is RFS. Just NBNCo/Finder doesnt say it is. Go to any of the RSPs websites and check. I signed up via TPG on friday arvo.

Whole area must not be RFS then � I've checked Internode/TPG/Telstra and they all say not available yet/soon/in build etc.
I had an RF supressor on my line (unbeknownst to me) zero connection with it in place. Was installed sometime in the past before I bought the house.
So... despite my best attempts to avoid a NBN stuff up, sure enough, they cut my line last Wednesday, never saw them, and hence I've had no phone or internet at home since.
As you say, zero connection with RF supressor in place. Went through all the standard tests, etc with the ISP, since NBN won't do anything till to rule out a fault modem, config, etc. The Fritzbox picks up a DSL line on a test, but that's it, any VDSL type connection is just being filtered out.
Have NBN coming back this wednesday afternoon, to do what they should have done in the first place, rather then leaving me disconnected for a week.
Nice to see how well the NBN planned the roll out in Reynella isn't it? Bunch of clowns.
Spoke to internode about my nbn hookup on Thursday. Scheduled between 7 and 2.30pm. They said to leave all phones and modems disconnected during that time...is that normal?
Still need to hear about the modem which is due in the next day or two apparently...would be handy to have it before my connection lol
Hey dwink23 If you are unable to get a modem in time I have a spare Telstra modem you can borrow PM me if you want.
Cheers Pete (Hallett Cove).
Cheers Pete! Will give them a buzz today to confirm its in � they seemed to think it'd be in Thursday at latest so can swing down in the morning if I'm not going to have Internet anyway.
Tech arrived this afternoon, as soon as I said suppression filter, he knew exactly why it wasn't working and went to the side of the house and pulled it out.
From my Fritzbox, I get basic connection details as follows:
Receive Direction Send Direction
Max. DSLAM throughput kbit/s 13960 2080
Min. DSLAM throughput kbit/s 64 0
Attainable throughput kbit/s 104955 38451
Current throughput kbit/s 13958 2080
So if I read that right, I'm connected at 14k/2k, which is correct, as I'm on a 12/1 speed NBN plan right now.
But in theory, I could get around 104/38, which isn't bad for FTTN.
My Line attenuation is 15/21db.
I did a speedtest, 6ms ping to Internet server and hit my 12/1 connection speed, so as long as no CVC congestion kicks in, I'm all good.
Shame it took a week to get someone out again to do what took 5mins to then actually get my internet working again.
Makes me cry to see a 12/1 connection with figures most of us in here would kill for LOL.

Sorry....
I just wanted to start at the lowest end and see how it goes. Plus it means I'm spending the same I was as before with ADSL, only difference is before I had 2/0.3 connection, with 25/25GB peak/off peak data split.
So now I've doubled my data, no more off peak pain and my download speed is now 5 times faster. So for me, its a win all round.

Hopefully all goes well i'll be connected on friday. 5-rel-06
5REL-08 *cricket noises*
Connection happening now, spoke to internode and the modem isn't in...expecting it early next week. I've got an archer d7 which they said we can try to setup so will give that a shot.
Failing that can anyone recommend a modem that will do voip that will perform better than the Internode one? (TG-1???)
I'm pretty sure the d7 is the same chipset/capabilities as the d9, as far as adsl/vdsl goes. Don't use it. It's not vdsl capable. The tg1 is actually one of the best modems out for fttn/vdsl. Use it and if you want better wifi performance bridge it to your d7.

I got the Fritzbox with the phone as well. Not cheap, but single solution that covers all the bases and so far has been working great.
Hi guys, ended up getting a Netgear D6400 � took home a 6300 on the advice of Officeworks to find it only supported FTTP, so a trip back and then back home with the 6400 � all setup and running, getting about 21mb down and 4.5 up, which I'm happy with on the 25/5 plan. So far so good, we're not on a lightening quick plan but it's a noticeable upgrade over what we had so cant complain :)
After cancelling my 1st order that was supposed to be connected (14 July) and wasn't, (and many weeks of extreme frustration with dates being postponed and other issues), I have an installation scheduled for tomorrow.. slightly worried that it will be another stuff-up but trying to be optimistic.. ISP is Telstra 5-REL-01 and I have ordered 100/40 speed boost
House we are renting is 38yrs old with double brick walls.. hoping that the internal cabling will be ok..
Welp....NBNco site now says my neighborhood has not even started construction even though we are on 5REL-06.
Sigh.

Which part of 5REL-06 and how did you go about finding out? I'm right on the border down by Bains Rd.
I managed to put an order in with Internode Monday night but it's still sitting at "Pre-Order: Your order is awaiting verification by our staff." Internode called up to get some extra details from me (ULL or something?) and I assume it's with NBNCo now.
I'm in 05 which went rfs 14/7 and it still says in build on the site, now with 'not available' for finished date. Absolute disgrace, the lack of professionalism about the whole nbn mess.
Edit- I should add, I have nbn in this area. Just makes it more ludicrous!
Which part of 5REL-06 and how did you go about finding out?
Just off Woodcroft Drive.
Have been 'in build' for last 6+ months on nbnco website.

I checked my address this morning on that site and it said they hadn't even begun yet. Picking across the road from (what I assume is) the new node on States Rd says the same thing. I think the site might be broken?
Either that or I'm about to be in for a rude shock. Internode's site said I was good to go though.
EDIT: finder.com.au now shows 5REL-06 in purple (ready for service) even though https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/rollout/5REL-06 still shows as Build Commenced. I think there's some data screwed up somewhere.
Just got activated in 07 � all went smoothly and connected at about 90/38 so happy with that!
I'm about 250m from the node (cable length could be more), but I strongly suspect my internal wiring is holding me back a bit. Good enough speed for me though � big upgrade from the previous ~6Mb on ADSL2

Awesome, I got connected yesterday and after some modem issues am up and running nicely (only on 25/5 plan but getting 22/4.5 so happy with that). Tempted to jump to 50/20 plan and see what that's like.
5REL-03-13 Node on the corner of Kallamurra and Barndoo streets Hallett Cove.
Connected yesterday on the 100mbps plan with Telstra.
Connection was as smooth as. Plugged Modem in and 3 minutes later all done.
Everything downloaded to modem and worked perfectly.
Will connect Telstra TV tonight.
Getting some great speeds
Here are my speed test results
3 houses from Node. Approx 83 metres
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5634690085
Very Happy
I'm connected!! Gosh I honestly thought it was going to be another let down today. ..
So my next question is.. How do I test the speed? I did a test via speedtest.net and wondered if that is the best site to use?
I quickly downloaded a torrent but on there my d/l was only 1.3Mb/s although I can stream Stan without any hiccups so far :)
only on 25/5 plan but getting 22/4.5 so happy with that
Are you actually only sycing at 22000/4500?
25/5 should sync at 28000/64000, and if you look at your modem stats, the line max speed will be displayed. If you're only able to get 22000/45000, moving up plans will not help as your line is already at it's max.
I'm in 05 which went rfs 14/7 and it still says in build on the site, now with 'not available' for finished date.
It really is annoying, as there isn't any listed ADA information either, whereas there is for the other zones, even 08 which isn't even ready for connections yet.
My stats from Netgear 6400 � on 25/5 plan:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 28000 kbps 6400 kbps
Line Attenuation D0( 8.8) D1( 21.9) D2( 24.8) dB U0( 2.7) U1( 14.5) U2( 20.5) U3(N/A) U4(N/A) dB
Noise Margin D0( 23.4) D1( 23.4) D2( 23.3) dB U0( 28.8) U1( 26.5) U2( 30.5) U3(N/A) U4(N/A) dB
I'll be honest in saying I've got not much idea what any of that means or if it's good or bad ;)
Connection Speed 28000 kbps 6400 kbps
That's good. Thats the sync rate for the 25/5 plan as mentioned above. Very possible your connection could go higher if you wanted. Not sure if your modem has an stat telling how the max sync rate or obtainable sync rate.
I have just added another node to the map which is just off Woodcroft Drive.
https://www.google.com/maps/
5REL-06-16-FNO-001
The site must be wrong given that node is in the area which apparently hasn't even started construction yet :D
**Edit � I have lodged a query with NBNco with the above information.
***Edit � Telstra have released a new spreadsheet as of today and 5rel06 & 5rel07 are still listed as 9/9/16...

Cool, yeah cant see anything that stands out � had a look over the user manual and cant see anything there. Happy enough with what we're getting for now, but will let it go for a month or two and see what sort of congestion we get (if any?) and assess speed upgrades later :)
NBNco website now says RFS...
Hopefully it is right!

Hi Dwink glad to hear your connected, can I suggest you contact your RSP if your not too savvy with modem stats etc and ask them what is the max through put or max attainable is, I believe they have the ability to check your port for you and then switch to 50/20 if that plan is available to you. As posted before your internal wiring is crucial to get max speed from VDSL2. Good luck,
Cheers Pete.
PS Congrats to the couple of Node Lotto Winners!
My speedtest (this was with Stan playing in the kids' lounge)

Thanks Pete I'll give them a buzz and see if it's worth the upgrade :)
Dam was booked in for a friday connection and it didn't happen....... here we go on the Nbn merry-go-round. Ugh
Can anyone comment on the modem/router they use?
We have the Telstra Gateway Max and I am unable to connect our VPN .. Plenty of suggestions on the forum says to get an Asus RT-AS68U and bridge the Max.
I've had a look but it's a bit on the pricey side..
What we use our internet for is: streaming and torrent downloads. I don't need VOIP � have the phone line but never use it. I need something with great wifi range & will maximise our 100/40 connection.
Please share your experience/opinions?
Thank you!
