Found a letter from the NBN addressed to our strata, dumped on our communal post boxes. I felt it was in everyone's interest that I had a peek inside. ;) As I suspected, it was to inform the strata that they needed permission to install the NBN equipment into all the units between May and July. Needless to say, I quickly took the letter to my real estate agent and advised them to deliver it to the strata, post-haste. :)
2COR-07
more providers for wollongong pop up in July, so you might want to go month to month until then when your range expands.
Cheers. I'll consider waiting to see if SkyMesh will come as they seem to be pretty popular and consistent. I was gonna go Internode but have seen a lot of disappointment with their speeds being very slow in the evenings.
West Wollongong, 2WLG-05
Received a letter from NBN today, 'Australia's National Broadband Network is rolling out in your area', Just wondering for those who have NBN connected, from your experience, how long am I looking from this point till I actually get connected?
In the letter, it does say ' To get your property connected to the NBN as quickly as possible you can contact your owner's corporation or property owner to register the details of your building s we can get in touch when we are ready to connect your building to the NBN.'
Can someone please explain what this mean? I am living in a block of three, do I need to contact our strata to arrange anything?
I guess I am getting either FTTP or FTTN other than FTTB, am I right?
Thanks
from your experience, how long am I looking
Haven't got it yet but will in Oct15 and from our expeience in 2DAP-06 from 'build commenced" to the go live date (RFS) expect it to be 12+ months. Maybe next week (after the 15th) they may release the update for you area to show this has commenced based on you letter so keep an eye on here.
http://www.mynbn.info/sam/2WLG-05
do I need to contact our strata to arrange anything?
Yes, get the Strata to register with NBNCo ASAP and follow it up to ensure it gets done as if it doesn't then you may miss out in the initial roll-out. Here is the NBNCo website:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/conn
I guess I am getting either FTTP
2WOL-05 is 'Fixed Line' so given we are not in a FTTN listed region yet and most of the 2WLG POI has been FttP I would be hopeful that you will get the best (fibre to you NTD).
On a side note my mum is in a 9 storey, 35 apartment building in 2WOL-02 and they were getting NBN and i thought they may get FTTB but had a look last week and they have run a fibre throughout the building and in every floors communication's room there is a PCD mount for every apartment, All that need now is the premise fibre ran through the existing conduit into her place and a NTD installed and she is all hooked up which will make me happy as she want "Netflix" and wifi for her iPad and I have been telling her for 2 years that its coming.
how long am I looking from this point till I actually get connected?

Got home phone problems myself at the moment, stubbornly waiting for them to be fixed before I commit to NBN. Means my sister beat me to the NBN :( Booo!!!
2DAP-01 Was hoping that we would hear a early RFS for us but got home my hopes are dashed a These guy checking all the houses in the SAM to see if they have the PCDs connected.
So if they are only auditing the PCD's now maybe hear something in June.
do you mean I can start looking for provider and even sign up a contract?
Look by almeans but you will not be able to sign up till you are listed as RFS. I have tried to get quotes prior to RFS but not having much luck I asked the Optus rep why this is she said because the prices are changing due to people walking in what them to match or better all the time. So I'm waiting till my RFS is a go.

Got home phone problems myself at the moment
My PCD has been installed. I have been polishing it this morning :). I am not connected to the multiport 1.5 houses away but I am connected to one across the road. One benefit of this was that when the tech ran the fibre across to the multiport, he must have moved my phone line. For the first time in months (no fault found by Telstra) I have a noise free line and my synch speed has gone from 5.5/.45 Mbps to 11.27/.76 Mbps!
So, NBNCo, please feel free to turn on 2DAP-06-02 any time you like.
Means my sister beat me to the NBN :(
I have a bet on with my sister. She is in http://www.mynbn.info/rollout/6MDR-05 (Yep a Brownfield rollout in a suburb called Greenfields). She has been told they will go early RFS (end of September, not November). Oh how I hope she has been misled. Unless 2DAP-06 goes early as well.....
Handover date of the house is June 5th. Woo!
Congratulations mate! I hope you all have a long and happy life in your new house. It does seem a very expensive way of getting FTTH though :)
Woohoo the box on the outside of my house is installed.
Haven't actually seen it yet as it's dark when I get home but saw a photo and install looks good. Neat box on side of house. The installers took good care of my plants while digging up and repairing the conduit and dug around one of my proteas out the front.
Hanging now to hear when I can arrange the inside install and get connected!
I'm in 2DAP-06.
Hanging now to hear when I can arrange the inside install and get connected!
Over 45 days since the PCD fitted to my house in 2DAP-01 still no word on a RFS date

Damn it that has not made me hopeful! Oh well sure its coming and proper FTTH at least.

Too rude for general comment...
But where does that leave Keiraville, and North Wollongong? Two little pockets not on the map, and not part of the Mt Keira stretch. A lot of people live in one area, lot of students in the other.
I can understand (to a point) leaving the North Gong area, there are a lot of units, but leaving Keiraville out doesnt make sense to me.
Did anyone ever figure out why the Keiraville area which was listed with the very first NBN rollout maps many years ago mysteriously vanished?
FTTP will continue, it just will not be the default technology choice when the NBN rolls out. If the current copper infrastructure is beyond repair or it makes financial sense to deploy fibre or the area is a large greenfield area the technology will be FTTP.
Did anyone ever figure out why the Keiraville area which was listed with the very first NBN rollout maps many years ago mysteriously vanished?
Sure did. People voted Tony Abbott into power...
Seriously, I'm not sure it was ever deeply looked into, but a few stories have suggested it had something to do with the Uni and the fact its already got a fibre network. So was essentially the last area expected to be done.
As its on the outskirts of the FSA, thats also another possibility, and the more likely one to me. Was always going to be one of the last areas to start, being a boundary with the neighbouring FSA, or the same reason the Mt Ousley/Fairy Meadow/Towradgi/etc area is last for 2COR.
Did anyone ever figure out why the Keiraville area which was listed with the very first NBN rollout maps many years ago mysteriously vanished?
Boundaries changed a lot early in the rollout around the Illawarra, particularly for the Wollongong area.
The southern parts of Figtree were also on the first rollout maps, but changed after being moved to the Port Kembla POI.
my unit block is 7 units and we have 2 of the grey boxes on the side of the house, that sound right?
I assume each one is 4 fibre splices or something. (Anyone got a pic of the inside?)
Looking well ducted externally, they started ducting internally and it looks terrible � all rectangular ducting with right angles everywhere � would have thought fibre needed flex ducting with bends.
my unit block is 7 units and we have 2 of the grey boxes on the side of the house, that sound right?
Not sure. My block is 8 units and it has 4 boxes. As they are only on one side of the building, and there are two other entrances on the other side (each of the 4 entrances being for 2 units) I always thought they had pretty much missed half the units, but perhaps they are split.
I was under the impression if the unit block was 8 or less everyone got a dedicated fibre line, over 8 they rigged up some FTTB type thing.
I was under the impression if the unit block was 8 or less everyone got a dedicated fibre line, over 8 they rigged up some FTTB type thing.
Dont think its that simple, but I thought each unit got a grey box as well. Happy to be wrong, but wont know until I go to sign up in a couple of weeks.
I'm in Wollongong 4 so I don't think I can do anything until October, even if the stuff is on the unit block.
I live in Shell Cove and noticed the Telstra guys out the front of my house running something under the roads and footpaths from one point to another, the junctions i think. They told me they were running ropes with a spacer attached to see the diameter of the pipes for them to run cables at a later date. They started in Shell Cove a week ago and have already done Flinders so looks like things are on the go :)
Question: Does that mean we are getting FTTH like the new land releases in Shell Cove? Makes sense to just extend whats already there?
p.s I am on corner of Melville Crescent and Hinchinbrook drive.
Cheers.
Does that mean we are getting FTTH
Nope. Shellharbour (including Shell Cove, Barrack Heights, and other surrounding suburbs) is part of the new MTM rollout. So you will more then likely end up with FTTN, unless FTTP is cheaper.

Why are they checking diameter of pipes from pit to pit if they are just going to use the existing copper from the Node which is in the total other direction from my pit? The tech said they are getting it ready to run cables which i am hoping would be fibre right to my pit "hopes" lol
Also all the existing NBN in Shell Cove is FTTH as they are new developments, so thats my thinking that they may make some of the already established parts FTTH also...as you said if its cost effective they may just do that.
Why are they checking diameter of pipes from pit to pit if they are just going to use the existing copper from the Node which is in the total other direction from my pit?
No idea. It could have something to do with the marina development and Telstra since you said it was Telstra guys. Maybe ask them in more details next time. "Is this for the NBN?".
It would make sense to keep all of Shell Cove FTTH/P but who knows with this government. Plus, Shellharbour and Albion Park were both announced as being a MTM area in Dec last year, so my bet is on FTTN for all remaining work. As much as it sucks, FTTN has to be better then ADSL.
So a few things I have just been made aware of:
Installation of PCDs in 2DAP-05 have been delayed, new installation dates are from the 12th of August till the 3rd of November.
That said 2DAP-05 RFS date has move from the 21st of August to the 7th of August! 2DAP-01 remains unchanged (14th of August) and RFS for 2DAP-06 is 2nd of October.
Source: http://telstrawholesale.com.a
PCDs delayed but RFS date moved up? Tell me this isn't a government run operation :)
RFS for 2DAP-06 is 2nd of October.
Nice! I'll still keep my fingers crossed for an earlier RFS date though. *Rings Telstra for the 4th time in 3 months for noisy phone line*

They were out again today when i was walking the dog and they said they are doing pit to pit diameter checks before the NBN Cables are run through to make sure they fit......so looks like its FTTH/P for my neck of the woods, if so i will be happy :)

Well even FTTN will need rod and rope (RnR) from exchange to where they will put the ADA. Look to see if they stop the RnR near where the current copper connection point is gray looking street exchange.
That said 2DAP-05 RFS date has move from the 21st of August to the 7th of August!
Gratz 2DAP-05 they must have about the 90% completed the area then.
2DAP-01 I'm still hoping they don't move it backwards
Oh and 2WOL-03 RFS tomorrow woot
Hi Will
We're pleased to let you know that nbn� has updated the serviceability status of the following address:
********* HEASLIP ST, CONISTON, NSW
This address now has a service class of 2. This means that your premsies is now serviceable by NBN Fibre, already has an external NBN utility box and requires an internal installation.
You should be able to contact a service provider to order an NBN service. You can find a list of service providers by visiting the link below:
2WLG-03 Rollout Region
well I am now ready to go and now know what is worse then waiting for NBN...its waiting for your preferred ISP to finish setting up in your area
2WLG-03 is now live!
This is getting so depressing. Really the only area left nothing is happening in. What did we do to nbnco to make them hate us so much :(
https://puu.sh/j82QP/82c52c0c17.png
not only that we're going to end up with shitty fttn. sigh.
2WLG-03 is now live!
yes...... Skynet ( I know ) is suppose to be up and running but I cant wait so just about to sign with iinet
I'm in a similar situation, the ISP I want to sign up with isn't ready in 2WLG-03.
I decided to sign up with my current ISP in the meantime. There are a few side benefits.
There will be no overlap in billing where I'm paying for both services or have no service. It would be difficult to line up the new service to start at the same time as the ADSL service billing period ends.
I'm out of contract and moving to an NBN connection with my current provider has no connection fee and I'll still be out of contract so I can leave at any time.
After a month or two I can move to my preferred ISP right at the end of my billing period without any down time because once the NTD is installed provisioning only takes a few hours.
well I ended up signing with iinet but not on a contract
will give them 2 months or so and if no good will switch over
Now the wait is on for NBN to make an appointment
Keep us posted. My mate signed with iinet a few months back, had absolute horrible speeds and has since churned.
hey 2WLG-03, dont ruin my isp please :)
my turns not until october
11th August pm appointment made
should have asked for AM and got in first........
I zoned out to be honest, can't believe they have to go through all that every time someone signs up.
Probably a bad idea but I chose the contract to save a bit of money.
It will be interesting to see how far apart our installation dates will be.
Is it possible to get an ISP out to install the internals before my area is RFS? Horsley if it matters...

The RSP wont do anything until the area goes RFS. Horsley is due to go RFS 2nd of October.
well first message posted under NBN
Slight problems with router from iinet but a reset fixed that
ok...on a 50 / 20 plan and speeds are :
47.71 and 18.76
if they stay like that I will be really happy :-)
and thats heaslip street Coniston NSW
It will be interesting to see how far apart our installation dates will be.
Do you get an email with an instillation date?
I got an email that same evening that says:
Your appointment has now been confirmed:
Your installation date is 2015-08-14
Your installation time frame is between 08:00 and 12:00
No email yet, but I called quite late in the day, around 4pm... Well your appointment gives me an idea of what I can expect.
It'll be a very slow month!! :)
installation was funny.......he could only use a small bit of conduit ( saving costs ) as he could put it behind a downpipe from the gutter. Its all about saving $ .... but the funny thing was I said I didnt want a battery backup ( when signing with iinet ) but one was installed ........they get 90 mins for an install which aint much
hey guys my install date is this friday morning.
To anyone who has had it installed, can you tell me what to expect?
Can I tell him where I want the ethernet cable to end up or does he put it as close as he can to the current nbn box on the side of the house? The NBN box is hanging off the side of my garage and nowhere near all my current networking gear (huge house).
cheers
No email yet, but I called quite late in the day, around 4pm... Well your appointment gives me an idea of what I can expect.

You will also get some SMS. I got 2 SMS today asking to make sure someone is there for the install.
I will be peed off in they are a no show as I have taken the day off to be there.
hey guys my install date is this friday morning.
Same here.
I have an NBN cabinet already installed for where I want the NTD to go so they have no choice where to put it.
The connection for them is going to be easy as I have everything all done for them. They just have to run their cable which is also easy and prolly only a 5m run with no hard to get at cavities to pull through.
Can someone who has had it connected recently say how long it took for the ADSL to be disconnected and the NBN to be active?

Maybe because I have ADSL with them already?
I put my name down with them months ago to be called as soon as it went active.
I dunno if that helped as they never called... I had to call to get it installed.
They sent me 2 texts today, called once and left an email... All telling me that the NBN is available.
I've signed, they have taken the money out and I can login to my account... Just need the date!!!!

Almost immediately, i am in 2DAP 04 and the service was up and running as soon as the installer had left.
Enjoy the NBN.
install booked for next monday the 17th, dapto
originally scheduled for the 31st but i got a call back and they wanted to do it earlier.
skymesh, 100/40, 240gb plan with 12TB off-peak
anyone in a unit block got the NBN? How many of those grey boxes are on the side of your building?

I heard a terrible tale of someone in Wollongong today that it took a month to get activated because the NBN installer had one digit wrong in the phone number.
After 8 days of faults and stuff ups an NBN rep arrived today and fixed my line problems. So as of 2 pm I'm on NBN.
23Mbps on a 25/5 plan. I try that for awhile, before upgrading.
It's been a long wait. Hopefully it will all be worth it. :)
Yesterday I saw some guys working in Telstra pits along Jacaranda Ave (western side), Lamerton Ave (western side) and O'Briens Rd (southern side) in Figtree. This morning they were continuing on O'Briens Rd. They sometimes had a vacuum truck assisting.
They were putting a snake through the pipe and pulling through a Parramatta rope. The rope has a black rubber or plastic thing about 40 or 50 mm diameter near the head end, I'm guessing that this is to check that the conduit is clear to a certain diameter (although I was surprised at how large that diameter was!). They appeared to be leaving the ropes in place.
The guys had Silcar logos on their shirts, and were using yellow fences around the pits with Telstra logos on the fence (the standard small fences that the linesmen normally use).
I asked if it was for the NBN, they said it was. I asked if they were going to be doing the other side of the street, they said that they weren't because they didn't need to as the copper would still be used for the last section.
I got the impression that they were only roping down to the green cabinet at the corner of O'Briens Rd and Darragh Dr, this would connect to existing fibres at that location. I could be wrong though, there is currently already FTTH fibre along the bottom section of O'Briens Rd to serve the Redgum Ridge estate.
So, it looks as if Figtree is in build prep for FTTN, although it's not showing on any of the maps.

I wouldn't be surprised it Figtree showed up in this months map update if that is the case.
Is 2-DAP-06 rfs on for the 2nd of October?
Yup, no change there.
And how long does it usually take to get connected after the rfs date?
And how long does it usually take to get connected after the rfs date?
Depends on how early you can get in the queue, probably a minimum of two weeks depending on the availability of techs to install your lead-in, PCD, NTD and test the connection.

You have to wait until the official NBN map says you are good to go, the ISP cant really do anything until then, its a computer booking system so "computer says no" and just blocks any application by the ISP until the database says the premises are ready.
Some may agree to keep your application on hold, but it doesnt really achieve anything more than just waiting for the map and then submitting the application that day.
The ISP must show up on the maps Choose A Provider list for your address, not all ISP's are in all suburbs.
If may says you are good and preferred ISP is in list then send them the application, it will then be around 2 weeks for technician to come out, could be less, could be a month.

I'm hoping, being the computer age, that theyre able to automate the queue process and its not just a human typing in my details when they are allowed.
We'll find out, RFS on the 2nd and i've sent my app today.
Thirroul- Clifton are on the prep map now. MyNBN says we are getting FTTN, but I am praying that it gets changed somehow.
fingers crossed

Hi seaQuest,
What's the easiest way to confirm RFS for tomorrow given myNBN is not live? Is it the NBNCo address portal or some other way?
Just getting a bit excited.
Cheers

I would just call the isp and get them to book it in to get connected. Thats what I'm going to do tomorrow morning
Just getting a bit excited.
So I won't be the only one who's alarm is set for 12:00 AM tomorrow then :)
I found that tpg was the ISP that let me know just after NBN went rfs. I was signed up with 5 different ISPs to let me know. iiNet Optus Telstra all took 2 to 3 days. Devout was the first website to say we were rfs

Hi Doug
I just pulled mine out of the power board and measured it. Mine is 1.8m give or take a few cm
Pretty much told me half the house cant have the install, from the point the solar starts to the point it finishes. Which only left a back to back install or in one of the bedrooms. Have attached some pics of solar and the crawl space in the roof. The solar is right above the tiles in that crawlspace pic. sorry for potato shots. new install is 23rd now and they are trying for new crew but no promises

Do you have any lights on your NTD at all? Another way of checking is to plug a laptop/computer directly into the UNI-D port on the NTD (try all 4 ports) and trying to get on the net. It may also be worth contacting your RSP and asking what happens next.
Pretty much told me half the house cant have the install, from the point the solar starts to the point it finishes.
What is there problem?
Where is the PCD?
Where did you want the NTD?
pcd is located at the front of the house and i wanted the ntd located in the lounge room aproximately 20metres from the pcd. was told the garage is no good, and due to solar heating on the roof the tiles cant be lifted and therefore the back half of the house cant have the install and it was only a back to back or in a bedroom install. if it helps i can draw up a diagram of the house layout in paint
EDIT: rough Diagram below

should clarify the front door is technically on the side of the house the top bedroom faces the road,
2COR-08
Just got the letter about the outside box install � between 29 October and 21 March
Gotta love it...

Yeah, you should have a green light for Optical.
Plug your riouter into the first UNI-D 1 port (may have to try them all) and put your user name and password in the WLAN of your router and you should be good to go.

What is the floor made of? Can you get under the house?

Where is it in relation to the picture of the front of the house?
The roof in your picture is a bit blurry. That sort of looks like hot-water solar heating? Usually you can move that a bit so as to get to a tile if it is not absolutely fixed rigid.
Another option would be to run conduit on the outside directly above the PCD against the bricks to the eave and go though into the roof cavity there. Easy to pull a cable into the roof cavity from there. Use a yellow poly tongue from a particle floor board to do it.

dont think so

solar hot water for the pool is above the kitchen,lounge, and garage

its not rigid so could be moved to access tiles, its like black rubber tubing

figured this was possible too yet the technician put it in the too hard basket i assume. did not even want to talk about the install, just kept saying listen mate i dont even have to look i can already tell. wtf? my wife said after he left she was ready to tell him to get the f#$$# out for talking to me the way he was. i tried to simply talk about other solutions and he wouldnt have a bar of it and just walked out and jumped in his van and took off. just annoyed because i had to take the day off work for this
EDIT: just climbed up into the crawlspace and its definitely possible to do this, the tiles arnt covered by solar on the side so conduit from the pcd up the brickwork then into the crawlspace and down to the loungeroom is pretty simple. wont even need to touch the solar tubing either so there goes his excuse. might make a trip to bunnings on the weekend and try to sort it out myself
has the rude installer never poked around the ceiling with a pvc pipe, thats how all the shit at work gets installed
Checking the Telstra RFS documents and it looks like 2WLG-04 RFS has been pushed back to the 28th of October.
Yeah, you should have a green light for Optical.
I also have issues, have the power and optical light but none on the uni-d ports do i need to contact internode or wait a bit to see if they go green. was installed around 10ish this morning

Cheers, I can live with that
Success.
The NBN installers rang me about 15 mins ago and told me the line is now live. The optical light has gone from orange to green, so I thought all good. Didn't work, so I rebooted the modem, changed lan cables, tried all the other ports, then it must have come through as I put it back in port 1, and then now all working well. I'm on 50/20 internode plan, this is with my laptop connected via ethernet to my router. Go to be happy about those speeds http://www.speedtest.net/result/4743607188.png
Thanks all for your help

Is your optical light orange or green? Did they say it was ready to go when they left?
I also have issues
Mine was working before the tech left so if I were you, I would contact internode and see what they think. As I understand it the installer contacts nbn co to activate your ntd then nbn updates their system which should tell the RSP that all is ready to go.
Run your own conduit to where you want the NTD and you should have no problems, i did and the installer was grateful took 30 mins to do install.

ended up being connected to port 4. now it's just a matter of calling up and canning the adsl
Mine is going in the garage tomorrow (fingers crossed)
I take it you had no problems with the install in the garage?
Is yours insulated?

I got a bit sneaky and had a NBN approved cabinet with all holes drilled installed where I wanted the NTD to go. Hole in the wall and pull cord all ready for the tech � which made him very pleased.
