Labor cant change anymore contacts without loosing millions if not billions of dollars..
Labor's original plan was for 93% FttH and now they are now only committing to up to 39% FttP which is somewhat disappointing for the 54% of the nation that, although getting better internet connection, will end up with something less than promised .
Yep, and we didn't change government, and then squander $15 billion dollars on a sub-par M(alcolm) T(urnbull) M(ess). Shake that endless supply of money trees.. Mind you, the Liberals are saying 20% fiber, but I love your reasoning. Wheres that famous Bob Hawke quote while we're at it.
Labor cant change anymore contacts without loosing millions if not billions of dollars..
And what do you reckon their "non-existent promise" to convert all FttN to FttP will eventually cost?
Labor are prepared to let FttN be rolled out at a cost of billions due to existing contracts that the same contractors would probably get under a new FttP build to then later rip it all out (there is no real FttN to FttP upgrade pathway) and pay another multiple of billions rolling out FttP. Yes there would be penalties etc for stopping FttN rollouts not yet started but no where as much as 1) Roll-out FttN 2) Decommission and rip out FttN 3) Rollout FttP.
It ain't (the end of FttN) going to happen, pure and simple.
disappointing for the 54% of the nation that, although getting better internet connection, will end up with something less than promised .
DOCSIS 3.1 for the 3.6 million HFC premises by 2017? That brings your "54%" without fiber / better connection to quite a lot less don't you think?
It ain't (the end of FttN) going to happen, pure and simple.
fttdp is being trialed, and may become the next default, come next year. From what i understand the costs involved are only a few hundred dollars higher to that of the fttn rollout. So yep, fttn can be phased out if all the existing trials pan out, regardless of who takes office.
The big winner under Labor is going to be regional areas and outside the metro's.
That brings your "54%"
It's not my "54%" but merely a simple calculation between Labor's once promised FttP claim to their current FttP promise (93-39=54) and if they wanted to include the upgraded HFC spec as FttP I'm sure they would have but we both know in terms of the NBN, a DOCSIS 3.1 enabled HFC is not FttP.
fttdp is being trialed, and may become the next default, come next year.
Call it what you like but it still ain't FttP.
You miss the point. The figure is irrelevant � it is how you used that figure that is misleading. Expecting the new opposition to be on-par with the previous party stance and old policy, is not realistic, too. Though considering there are many factors that have changed since they were elected, lost government, and (hopefully) reelected. The monetary factor is the most dominant one � if they could get back what MTM has thrown into the fire, it would most certainly be FTTH all the way.
You know the routine...
This is national infrastructure the needed to be done right. Once and the first time.
Oh and, 12Mbps is enough for anybody...
You miss the point. The figure is irrelevant
It's only irrelevant if you understand that what once was is no longer and from my reading of the tea leaves (WP) and my antedotal evidence is that many still believe the ALP will deliver them FttP.
it is how you used that figure that is misleading.
How is it misleading when all I am doing is referring to the ALP's documented policy on FttP that has changed? The difference is just a mathematical equation between two sets of figures with only a suggestion that sometime in the future that the answer may change.
Well Indeed!
this will be your NBN for at least 10 years in the Illawarra
Welcome to the wonderful world of FRAUDBAND!!!
what the go is but im hoping this aint the norm
Welcome to FTTN!
Time to complain tonight.. only getting 10 mbps
Isn't it a guaranteed minimum of 25mbps?
only getting 10 mbps
And you will find with school holiday in NSW that the "peak time congestion" your currently suffering due to the lack of CVC provided by Tel$hit will most likely extend into daylight hours (9-5) as all those little one play their online games and downloading torrents.
Probably mate but its still not good enough being the best service apparently but slower than adsl by a margin.. im done being on the phone to those morons for the night.. nbn saves team calling me tomorrow hope they have their saving boots on.
Adsl telstra never slowed down always had 19 mbps download speed 24/7
Well i got a permanent $10 a month off so now im paying 104 a month for 1000gb 100/40... more like 6/40
When Telstra show up to switch you over do they send a SMS or email to confirm that the job is done?
good enough being the best service
Id be interested to think why you consider Telstra been the best? I feel sorry for people who get sucked into the mentality that more $$$ must equal better.
Netflix has Telstra rated as 6th best,
https://ispspeedindex.n
Speedtest.net has at Telstra 3rd best,
http://www.speedtest.net/awards/au/new-south-wales
PC Mag test from 2015 again does not rate Telstra very highly either
http://au.pcmag.com/ne
Those ratings would be averages, no? That means some Telstra connections could be much faster than the fastest connection of the top rated ISP. So for some people they would be the best.
(On ADSL with Telstra until tomorrow and compared to iiNet and TPG at the neighbour's, I'm in clover. I get 6mbps while they get 4mbps. So they are the best...for me).
I go on overseas connection speed and stability and telstra has always had the best connection speed and reliability for overseas gaming and the like.
this is why i stay with telstra http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5453294559
Well done NBNCo !
I signed up with NBNCo to be notified when the NBN was ready at 2WLG-09 by email. And TODAY the email arrives !
Not so good was that my area went live about two weeks ago and I already have had a order in for over a week.
Oh and thanks for FTTN and not FTTB in my large apartment complex.
Who ya with, distance from the cabinet and what ya syncing at?
My appointment was for 8am-2pm today. When the tech hadn't arrived I called the Telstra NBN team. No record of the order or the appointment. Very odd, since I had a guy call the other day to confirm that the modem had arrived and the time and date of the appointment.
The woman finally found the order (after ten minutes waiting). Sorry, she said, the appointment was abandoned because of poor weather. As it's been sunny in Wollongong since a bit after 9am that's incredibly annoying. No SMS or call to let me know, either.
Earliest appointment is now 15 July.
EDIT: and since I got off the phone to them (it was a tense conversation!) my ADSL speed has dropped! Donning my tin foil hat.
Telstra i dunno what youve done but i constantly see 95/39 now 24/7 even Friday night im maxing out the speed.. :D
I also had an NBN appointment at Austinmer cancelled yesterday. Rang Optus and they said there were technical problems. When re-booking the appointment, they said the technical problem was "bad weather"!! rebooked for 14th July.......hope its a sunny day.
Same boat and only found out on my way back from having a break yesterday. So much for coming home to the NBN. I was already annoyed that I was keeping posted on the activation date only to check it and find out it went early and I got queued behind every other random punter in the 2Cor exchange. Now don't even know when it's going to happen as Telstra haven't advised. Now back to enjoying 1 flaky ADSL line after already disbanding my rip-off bonded ADSL service in anticipation of NBN install.. Plus, having read the comments about preformance, even with Telstra, after being scared off going back to TPG, I'm far from excited about the NBN prospects for Austinmer..
So I never received a callback from Telstra on Friday about my new appointment to get switched over. Called them back last night asking what was going on and why I had to keep chasing them, no real answer as always. Then found out that they were only booking in another time to switch me over because I'd called up, they hadn't even bothered to do it. To make matters worse the next available booking was on the 27th of July and our ADSL is getting cut off on the 19th.
I'm far from excited about the NBN prospects for Austinmer
Where in Austi are you? I'm in Asquith Street.
For what it's worth a friend up the top of Hospital Road in Bulli is getting pretty much full speed. Not sure it's off the same exchange though.

Buttenshaw. I think I saw the node getting installed in Buttenshaw Pl, but I'm not entirely certain. If not and its down hill from Asquith, I'd have a lot less faith. On top of the I've had ADSL line issues constantly, so the I'm totally dubious about the quality of the line from the pit to the house and how that will play into things on top. Anyway now behind the other guy here who got his install also cancelled last Thurs here in Austi and its not happening till the 19th now which is further pissed me off. This fraudband is so much fun and I haven't even got it installed yet..
You mean one of those big green boxes? I was wondering where the node was; hopefully it's where you think. I might drive up there later and look. I haven't seen one anywhere on Asquith; nearest one is Kirton Road, as far as I know.
Anyway now behind the other guy here who got his install also cancelled last Thurs here in Austi
I think that's me.
Yep it's in Buttenshaw Place, just down on the right. Much closer than I thought it'd be.
edit for people wanting lower pings using gateway max disable ipv6
Now I'm getting really peeved off. I live in Buttenshaw Drive Coledale and last week, the site was saying my address was ready to connect to the nbn. Now when I put my address into the nbn site it states that additional work is still required in order to make your address ready to connect to the NBN network. Most other streets around me are ready to proceed. The nbn site stated I needed to contact my preferred internet provider. When I rang them they did not seem to know why they had to contact the nbn. Anyway, they will contact them and I should have an answer from the nbn anywhere up to 10 business day. I wonder if it has anything to do with the crappy phone lines we have up here. Go figure!
I have an email from Telstra confirming my appointment in Austinmer on Friday and the weather looks good for the day so hopefully I'll have good news to report then!
so hopefully
So things have improved and now you've now got a 50/50 chance of being hooked up by the weekend :)
I live in Shell Cove and just spoke with some technicians in my street, they have installed FTTH to my place. This is an older area of the suburb (~8yrs), they said everyone South of Southern Cross blvd is getting FTTH and the rest FTTN. Very happy but in reality will it mean my speeds will be faster than FTTN?
Cheers.
Very happy but in reality will it mean my speeds will be faster than FTTN?
In a sense, yes. Providing your RSP has enough backhaul and congestion doesn't bring it down during peak hour.
Got NBN FTTN today here in Woonona, didnt get much time before work to give it a good try out but so far VERY happy, getting 92mb down and 39mb up with Skymesh! I am about 160M from the node so guessing thats why. ( my adsl2 connection before was 4.9mb down, 0.8mb up LOL.. ) Yeeeeha! Finally!
I am about 30m from the node in Kirton Rd so hopefully get full speed. My rescheduled appointment is today (cancelled due to bad weather on 7th). Its a little windy here today so not getting my hopes up, appointment was between 7-12, nothing so far.
Just got connected in Coledale (FTTN).
Initial speeds are good � http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5475299735
Although I'll wait till tonight and this weekend before I get too ahead of myself with excitement.
edit: tested again at 5:30pm after resetting modem. Upload sync was a bit better, download is about the same. Overall an improvement in speed both ways though. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5475665183
Initial speeds are good
Holy hell that looks good.
NBN are building what looks like a node on the side of the hospital in Warrawong.
Also up and down Cowper St has been a lot of activity lately.
Sorry, but I think the nearest node (I'm in Asquith St) is in Railway Ave opposite the station. As I'm new here, perhaps one of you Whirlpool wizards can confirm or deny this as it's been gleaned from the many discussions I've seen about distance from the node and speeds dropping off. The node in Buttenshaw Place is not in our exchange area but the one in Railway Ave is. It's hard to spot because it's tucked away on the left hand side next to a culvert as you're heading north along Railway. In fact, after much searching it was my 11 year old daughter who found it. The pillar associated with it is also obscured by bushes and is a little south of the node.
Arghhh. Why would the Buttenshaw Place one not be the one I connect to? (I'm at the very top of Asquith).
So I took a drive. The node in Buttenshaw Place is labeled "2COR-02-11-FNO-001". The one in Railway Avenue is labeled "2COR-02-06-FNO-001". When I search for my address on the finder.com.au site I'm told I'm in the 2COR-02-11 area. So...I think I'll be right.
On the finder.com.au map you can drop pins on locations and it'll tell you the node that services buildings near that spot. From the top of Asquith down to about 20 Asquith it shows 2COR-02-11, below that it shows 2COR-02-06. Hope you are close to whichever of those it is that services your place :)
My telstra adsl got disconnected about 12:30, rang Optus at 3:30 � something needed replacing at the node. Finally up and running at 5:30.
http://www.speedtest.ne
Whereabouts are you?
Initial speeds are good � http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5475299735
No, for FTTN that is not 'good'. That is rip your clothes off and go dancing down the street naked with bottles of champagne in both hands, singing at the trees and throwing steaks at neighbourhood dogs.
nice ping. Getting a sagemcom vdsl modem to use on telstra on Monday.
I could be wrong but I've been told by my ISP that there is a problem connecting to the NBN for those people who live in the northern part of Buttenshaw Drive, Coledale. I was told there is a system error and the address was not updated. My address has to be reclassified from service class 10 to service class 13 (whatever that means). It could be up to a further 4 weeks before the northern part of Buttenshaw Drive will be able to connect to the NBN:-(

Yeah I am under no illusion and well aware that I might have got a bit lucky with my connection for now, it didn't drop in speed at all through the night either (it actually got a bit faster like I mentioned after restarting my modem at around 5:30).
It's not something I expected from iiNet after reading all the posts on here (it is iiNet even though it says Internode there).... But I'm not going to complain. Eventually my node will get more users and it'll probably slow down like most other areas.
My address has to be reclassified from service class 10 to service class 13 (whatever that means).
Service Class 13 Site is serviceable by copper, all infrastructure is in place.
My appointment was confirmed by email on Wednesday as between 7am and 2pm today. It's not done, but Telstra just assured me it will be *drums fingers*.
It's not done, but Telstra just assured me it will be *drums fingers*.
So we've gone from 50/50 to 80/20 but I will let you determine if that's in your favor or not :)
My ADSL connection just went down :). 95/5 :)
95/5
100% :)
On 25/5 with Telstra, getting:
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5478168038
Diagnostics tell me:
Max Bandwidth Down
79.26Mbps
Max Bandwidth Up
44.56Mbps
Bingo.
if anybody has access to their full vdsl2 stats please post youre interleaver depth. im to believe it should be 1 1 but mine is sayinh 4 8.. thanks
Glad you're up and running. In answer to your previous post, we're about 600m from the station and about 800m from Buttenshaw Place. Looking at connecting through TPG. Don't know anyone else who has experience with them in this area though.
got rid of that telstra gateway and am using a optus sagemcom in bridge mode and my ping has stayed at 7ms and speeds are generally the same. to keep the phone working ive connected the gateways wan port to my r7000 lan port, disabled wifi and other stuff and phone works fine.
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5480179301
Telstra has added the speed boot to 50/20 on my connection in Austinmer. Getting 46/18
I'm in 2WLG-07 and it's apparently ready for service but our strata manager has had no contact from NBN Co. and we've had no works done at the property. We're an apartment block of 30 odd units on Corrimal St. Any idea what this means? Are we in the 10% that's not actually done yet but they mark as completed? Thanks for any clarity you guys can give.
Having a nightmare experience switching to FttN in 2COR-04. I'm with Telstra and had an appointment on the 12th July to connect to NBN. That night I tested it and I was still only getting an ADSL connection. So then Telstra booked in another NBN appointment for 8am-12PM today. Sure enough I'm still not connected. The technician was meant to call me this avo to update me because he was supposedly running late but I never heard from him. So bugger if I know if they have even showed up on both occasions.
To add further salt to the wound, the bright sparks at Telstra cut my ADSL connection on Friday when they knew my NBN connection wasn't properly completed. And now they are saying they can't turn it back on because the legislation says they can't compete with NBN. So who knows how long it will take to get the internet again. Amongst all this I've spent over 4 hours in the last week dealing over the phone with Telstra and was getting nowhere so made a complain to the ombudsman today. Lo and behold I get a complaints manager call me this afternoon....we will see if that gets me anywhere.
Well I'm sitting here at 2:45, after yesterday's NBN appointment confirmation email to finally get my weather postponed service up, only to find ADSL is still very much in place, despite the 7am-2pm scheduled timeframe. Had a feeling I'd have this kind of luck. So who knows where it's at. Add to that the weather forecast has rain beginning at 3pm.. I get deja vu for an installation once for something else that required dry conditions and was delayed at least 3 times thanks to fact they kept managing to match the next rain pattern by leaving it 2 or so weeks. Hope this scenario doesn't happen today, but it wouldn't at all surprise me..
I had the same install window. It went live about an hour late. So hang in there :)
I had the same install window. It went live about an hour late. So hang in there
As in last weeks install, the one that you got infront of me on that pushed mine into to this week ;). So after all that you went for 25/5 btw? I'm reasonably confident now that I know I'm definitely in the 100ish metre rang from the node. Was told the techs were still on site at 3pm, so I went past 5 mins later to have a look and sure enough no sign of anyone � typical. Still waiting. Bring on the real speed, I hope...
So after all that you went for 25/5
Yep. Then when I saw what my line was like I upgraded to 50/20. That'll be plenty for us.
Let us know when yours lights up!
How many ppl been connected to 2 cor 4-05? See my attainable rates and snr slowly dropping. Im not too worried once adsl gets shut off vectoring will shine
Yep. Then when I saw what my line was like I upgraded to 50/20. That'll be plenty for us.
Let us know when yours lights up!
Ahh ok, I was a bit confused by what you said, but yeah that's more like it after waiting for it to arrive.
I'm still in limbo... Supposedly 'up' in the system but still only ADSL. Even checked they hadn't screwed up and enable my old adsl line.. So as is the luck for me so often with this stuff, I'm nowhere still now 4hrs later...
So after chasing up Telstra again they tell me my 2nd appointment that was booked on the 18th was cancelled by NBN Co due to "capacity issues". So basically you get no notice of a cancelled booking. Bloody brilliant set up this is. Rebooked for the 21st, I bet I'll still be without internet.
Make sure they don't turn off your ADSL connection until you are properly connected to the NBN. Mine was cut off last Friday while they knew the NBN connection wasn't working and now I'm still without internet.
Just checked my speed. Doesn't seem to vary much through the day or evening. I'm about 350-400 metres from the node � no idea where the pillar thing is.
Well I'm still sitting here after 9pm with no sign of nbn, just existing adsl.. Telstra saying rather uselessly, 'all lights are green'. I've asked now to verify that we are talking about the same bloody line, not say the neighbors joint who caused me all kinds of issues with the pit when they moved in for example.. Of course my situ had to be a saga with Telstra, story of my time as a customer and across several accounts.. Otherwise all I've gotten out of them is watch the moron level modem hook up guide and uhh is there anything else on the line.. Ahh no I have the equivalent of a small business grade network Meraki network in a compact IT cabinet professionally installed and I've personally ensured their VDSL capable modem has been running correctly bridged into my system for the last week after disbanding my bonded set up...
Ugh.
I only just submitted my application but one of the morals of the stories in this thread is don't go with Telstra.
Nonsense. It's the NBN who mess up the appointments. And it's the NBN who mess up the physical connections.
So I'm getting fed total crap from Telstra that essentially is aimed at making me look like a luddite, not a guy with business grade small network in his home and knows his sh*t. They were wanting to send an 'in home' tech out tomorrow, the kind who no doubt looks for Joe Average to have totally stuffed something up. On the contrary I am now flagging two key indicators that the upgrade did not occur. Firstly no outage whatsoever yesterday as constant online use throughout the time, including streaming and secondly no IP change which would have tripped up the DNS service I use and immediately stopped the US HBO service my wife was watching. I later went through the process of switching to the other old adsl line to very quickly show it no longer was in service. So still going with Telstra on this...
Those of you getting FTTN.. how long after your RFS date have you been able to get connected? and what modem are you using? got your own or ISP provided?
counting down the days... https://tinyurl.com/nicksnbn
7 days for me. Netgear d7800 gateway max
Call in the ombudsman mate. You will get a dedicated complaints manager at Telstra within the day that is based in Australia. It's probably your best bet.
A friend of mine actually took 7 weeks to get his NBN connected with Telstra. He ending up calling the NBN through the ISP number and the guy he got knew what he was talking about. He explained to him what Telstra was doing right and wrong. He also ended up getting a free speed boost to 100/40 and he said others have got that also. So I will be pushing for that when mine is finally resolved.
My speeds went back to normal at 10.30. And no ever since i swapped to nbn i loathe telstra..
Yep i think so
Weird. I've had nothing but good service from Telstra over many many years.
Yep i think so
Just make sure its not your CPE or an issue with you line to the node as swapping RSPs will not resolve any inherent problems.
Im not sure what the issue is tbh..
Weird. I've had nothing but good service from Telstra over many many years.
We're currently with them on a SOHO plan and we spend a reasonable amount with them. I called up to try to transfer to the NBN and hung up after 35 minutes and being transferred through 6 different operators. They actually tried telling me they wouldn't be able to activate me for 3 months.
Signed up in minutes with Internode and we'll see when we go live but it's scheduled in 10 days. Reading this thread I'm happy with the choice.
Ha ha we have a node on the side of Warrawong Hospital.
Now waiting for everyone in Warrawong to get theirs :)
Has anyone in Austi moved to NBN with a provider other than Telstra? I'm wondering whether I can save some $$ without suffering from pathetic performance.
We currently have Telstra ADSL2 & last week Telstra sent us an NBN modem. Note on the box says using it deems acceptance of the T&Cs, which were apparently sent in a separate letter that we haven't received. We received a follow up phone call where the guy said I just need to plug the modem in & it will call back to them to advise that the connection is ready for upgrade. Apparently no change to my existing month to month contract, stated verbally.
I believe I live within 20m of the buttenshaw pl node so distance shouldn't be an issue.
Any Austi, non-Telstra NBN customers got some feedback?
Thanks
any gamers who want the absolute lowest ping dont use the telstra gateway max. it seems it has phyr (upstream) disabled.

I'm about 100m from the Buttenshaw Pl node. I had been contemplating going back to TPG after being a previous customer since rollout of ADSL and then ADSL2+ when I was based in the CBD. However, I got scared off after reading a bit of feedback here on the forums, so I ended up staying with Telstra for $10 more per month than TPG for full speed FTTN 1 TB package. So far so good and a massive saving from the total rip off that Fusion Broadband was while I had it for a little under a year just to get usable speeds.
Called up Telstra to complain about my speed issues, still only reaching 37/17 Mbit/s today. I was told that it was due to congestion in the area and there was no ETA given on when it would be resolved. Are there any other people in Woonona on FTTN with Telstra who are able to share their speedtests? Surely congestion can't be the reason, it's like this 24/7, not just during on-peak times.
Your issue isnt congestion its the sync speed and distance to the node.
Yeah that's what I suspect, it's getting that through to Telstra and the NBN Co im having issues with.
["Yeah that's what I suspect, it's getting that through to Telstra and the NBN Co im having issues with."]
What do you expect Telstra to be able to do about your distance from the node?
Nbn techn said he was 400 i dont think he is but id probably ask some neighbour's about their sync speed and possible msg rendrag about youre exact distance.
Also congestion is still bad so far ive been discounted $50 this month. Id suggest more people to follow this suit. I know my neighbours and family are and Telstra must be loosing a sht load of money.
So I've called up Telstra again as there's been no improvement tonight. Was told again it was due to congestion in Wollongong, queried the ETA for it to be resolved and was told by 9th of August they will have completed their upgrade to their backbone in Wollongong. I then queried the length of the copper run between the node and my house and confirmed it was 200m.
Congestion is horrible i cant even stream Netflix at 1080p... gaming forget about that
What games are you playing? I'm not having any ping issues with the ones I play.
black ops 3 xbox one the download speed is flucuating so high and low that its screwing my ping
Ha ha we have a node on the side of Warrawong Hospital.
Now waiting for everyone in Warrawong to get theirs :)
I've seen nbn workers doing work on Green Street and on the corner of 1st Ave South and Cowper Street. Not sure if a node will be put in either place though (nothing in either location at this stage).
If your area is getting FTTN, is it still required to switch to the nbn after a period of time it goes live in the area like it was with FTTH?
Congestion is horrible i cant even stream Netflix at 1080p... gaming forget about that
Wow really, that's seriously disappointing. I've been able stream Netflix @ 2160p since my install was completed last week. At the same time HBO 1080p is getting streamed from the US elsewhere in the house. Hasn't made a difference what time of day its being done either.
If your area is getting FTTN, is it still required to switch to the nbn after a period of time it goes live in the area like it was with FTTH?
TBH not sure but I heard from some one its like 18 months.
Anyone correct if I'm wrong.
Yep peak times is shyte in woonona for me... least im not paying for it
TBH not sure but I heard from some one its like 18 months.
Anyone correct if I'm wrong
Correct, Finder even tells you the cut off date (eventually).

Upgraded to 100/40 in Austinmer
Anybody in Figtree have NBN commissioned yet? I *just* got ADSL2+ going at my address (moved in 2 months ago) and the speeds are pretty woeful (2.18Mbps down � downloading at 270kb/s) � barely enough to stream 720p. I'm around 4km from the exchange.
iiNet tell me October is when it'll be available for my address. I'm just happy to have the internet right now, but coming from Cable, these ADSL speeds are a little tough to digest, haha.
Only places in Figtree with NBN are the new estates around Redgum Ridge. The rest of us have to wait until October for FTTN. They've been installing the nodes for the last month or so.
Thought as much. I'm happy to wait until then. Just so long as it actually happens!
2PKE-## has dropped off the Telstra rollout list?
Looks like you're doing well Jellicle. Update on our situation is that I put an order in with Telstra Friday before last and heard nothing by last Tuesday so I called and after waiting for about half an hour was told the problem was with being unable to port our number. Solution simple according to the consultant: just change your number. Not after 8 years I said and then was put on hold for Telstra's NBN area. Waited for another half hour and then was told I needed to go back to sales. OK. Phone battery went flat while I was waiting for another 20 minutes. Next chance I had to ring was on the Thursday when I spent an hour with a brilliant consultant who immediately identified the problem: Telstra had 1 digit wrong with our home phone number. She then proceeded to fix the order, gave me the large bundle with speed boost included for $99 plus her details if there are any further problems. Downside is that we're waiting until August 18 for connection but I'm not surprised given the demand there'd be in the area. I'll let you know how we go.
Just received an email from iiNet (my ADSL ISP) stating that NBN is almost ready, and to select a plan. Looks promising.
Just signed up with Telstra adsl, with the plan to switch to fttn come 2nd september.
You know you're on the right path when the telstra customer service rep's first name is Jesus. ;-)
Where are you located if you don't mind me asking?
Me? cordo, just across from figgy. :)
Im currently with iinet too on naked dsl and out of contract.
I signed up to the Telstra L Bundle which is on special atm. iinet wouldnt match it so im leaving.
Makes sense! I just signed up to the iiNet 100MBps "Liimitless" bundle for $99.99 p/m
I was just interested to see if you were close to me (which you are) to get a rough idea of when NBN would be available.
iiNet did not provide a date (I'm sure I could call them) � so I'm going off of Telstra's 02/09 date.
Out of interest, what are your DSL speeds? I download a max of 273 kb/s (sad).

I get 5mbit on naked dsl.. and im roughly 500m from the fttn cabinet so not expecting more than 50mbit tbh, but fttn is a lottery, so who knows.
Looks like you're doing well Jellicle.
Yeah I got off lightly with just one canceled appointment :) A friend in Thirroul has had less luck. While she's going with Telstra the NBN haven't shown up to 2 appointments and her install date is now 17 August. She went to the TIO and now has a case manager and the NBN have to respond to her complaints.
Yeah I got off lightly with just one canceled appointment :)
And, sadly, another update. Partner receives call from Telstra today: "How's the service going?" "Um, we haven't even received the modem yet." "That's odd." Order number provided to consultant. Apparently there's a delay with our order. The delay is the order doesn't exist. Partner puts the number in to her computer and sure enough, it doesn't exist. Eerily similar to the last time we tried to hook up with Telstra for ADSL when we moved here in 2011, although at that time the relevant consultant who couldn't find the order passed it on to a supervisor who proceeded to berate my partner as a liar, despite her having the order number from Telstra in an email. So, what's happening now? Our "new" order is "being built in the next 24 hours" whatever that means. I was led to believe I already had one "built" including modem dispatch, appointment date, Telstra account, directory entry, number port and a free speed boost. Now we're apparently looking at the modem arriving by the 17th and the rest is up for grabs. And after all this, my question is: if no order existed, why did Telstra call to ask how our service is going?
I had a similar thing happen, but after the modem was delivered and after I got a call from them confirming the day for the appointment.
When that first appointment didn't happen I called to ask why, only to be told the order didn't exist. After 30 minutes on hold they came back and confirmed that it did in fact exist. My error was not getting the order number from the agent when I phoned to sign up, and not hassling them for an email confirmation of the order number in the days following that first call.
thanks for the heads up on telstra blunders.. it gave me motive to call local sales and confirm my order. the bloke from the overseas call centre hadnt completed it as yet even though i was told he had submitted it there and then.
no emails thus far to confirm order being placed etc and getting it sorted now over phone :S
I've never had an email from Telstra confirming anything � just a phone call a couple of days before the first appointment. The system is broken, clearly, with terrible communication between all the parties.
The system is broken, clearly, with terrible communication between all the parties.
Sure looks that way. How anyone reading this thread could sign with Telstra is beyond me.
Signed with internode. Two phone calls with emails and texts arriving as promised. Both calls sub 2 minute waits and 5 minute totals, Australian call centre with efficient, knowledgable staff. Modem arrived on time, NBN connected me on time the first time. Up and running full speed at 25/5.
Yep i agree totally � im just there for the L bundle special thats on atm. XD
They fleshing out 100mbit (from what i have been told), 1TB quota, Roku box aka Telstra TV, 3 months stan and presto and unlimited local/national/mobile calls for $99.. like i said i tried to get iinet to play ball but they said no hence the current persistence/ frustration with the big t order. XD
Sure looks that way. How anyone reading this thread could sign with Telstra is beyond me.
To me it's worth it � the sign up hassle is usually a one-time thing. And the reason it's worth it? Mid-evening, when the neighbours on iiNet and TPG are struggling to get 10mbps on their 25/5 connections I'm getting 80-90mbps on Telstra.

And this probably why I will cut across from Iprimus to Telstra. Not sure when mount Warrigal will go, but sometime before Christmas...perhaps. With luck I may be able to negotiate a 50 mbps connection as well.
I know this isn't the 'choose your isp' thread but would anyone help me choose between..
- staying on Exetel at 25/5
- spending a bit more and going to iiNet
- spending a fair bit more and going to 100mbps on Optus with Fetch TV?
I reckon I'm about 400m from the node so hopefully goingt to get above 50mbps when I go RFS in 7 days.
With luck I may be able to negotiate a 50 mbps connection as well.
From what I've heard Telstra are offering sweeteners to their existing customers to stay, but not to new ones. But who really knows? It can't help to ask...
Saturday arvo in Austinmer:

No complaints here
And Sunday evening:

Next door he's getting 13/3, on a 25/5 plan with TPG.
I'm only getting 5 mbps in the middle of Woonona. But then I cant get NBN where I live so I guess I'll have to make do with that.
count yourself lucky... http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5534666484 . where in woonona? all of woonona is rfs now isnt it?
getting slower.. gaming is a joke the latency spikes are horrible due the the large download speed swings
Yeah, my area, street, house next door are all rfs. Just not my place lol. I'm in a duplex and apparently the nbn can't cope with that :/
I don't suppose anyone has any contact at NBN that I could have a chat to about sorting this out?
whichever isp youre with id be getting them to do the nbn chasing. can other people in woonona/austi/ or wollongong area post nbn speedtest on telstra? im thinking its the node thats overloaded. fastest speeds are 16 mbps. wife cant watch netflix because im gaming and the lag is killing me. Not a happy wife not a happy life :/
yeah....

So just wondering. According to the Telstra wholesale info etc, 2COR-09 (Mount Pleasant, Balgownie etc) is rfs on the 12th August (at least the last time I checked). I'm O/S at the moment and I'm just wondering whether anyone has received anything from isp's or nbn in regards to this date?

I haven't but I'll let you know if I can place an order after Friday.
Thanks very much. Whom do you plan on going with? I'm currently with internode but I think I'll look into some other providers.
I'm trying to figure that out. Potentially I'll just stay with Exetel, but I'm thinking about upping my spend and going with Optus.
Is anyone around Wollongong on Skymesh or should I not bother? everyone on Telstra here seem to get pretty good speeds.
Everyone on telstra gets good speed? Hardly lmao
Is anyone around Wollongong on Skymesh
Yes but only good for you at the moment if you are on FttP (Fibre), Fixed Wireless (FW) or Satellite (SkyMuster) as they haven't quite got to releasing their FttN (Node) product but are in testing and you may find some in the local area who are part of their testing program.
I would bother as long as you don't want an unlimited plan as their service is quite good, very responsive other than recently due to some well documents reasons, ISP reps heavily active on WP and as cheap as any other RSP.
So FttN or unlimited makes them not the RSP of choice at the moment but for anything else I would recommend them.
Census night, 7:30pm Austinmer.. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/5539349728
Not much to complain about still speed-wise
Census night, 7:30pm Austinmer..
That because the Census site went into the meltdown it couldn't have and has been offline for the past hour.
Gongdude what modem do u use?
That because the Census site went into the meltdown it couldn't have and has been offline for the past hour.
My point was more that even during mid-even, census night or not, I'm still seeing quite decent speeds. But btw, I'd literally just completed the Census with no issue about 15 mins prior, so don't know how it was down for last hour..
Gongdude what modem do u use?
D7000, ditched the Gateway Max, too glitchy in bridged mode in my network.
So FttN or unlimited makes them not the RSP of choice at the moment but for anything else I would recommend them.
Thanks, I emailed them a few weeks back and they said I should be able to get FTTN when my service goes live (next friday), might have to ask again. At least their plans are monthly so it'll be easy to switch if it's not great.. but coming from 3mbit exetel anything will be better than this crap.
Hi guys,Im in Woonona Heights & been with Skymesh for a month now and i can say i have had zero problems and highly recommend them.
on FTTN about 160M from node, using a netgear d7800 modem.
Very happy with speeds..
http://www.speedtest
D7800? Whats youre sync speed?
I just went ahead and bought a d7000. Now to sell my r7000 lol i wanted all in one solution and judging by nbn speeds its great. edit: i think im off to skymesh
Very happy with speeds..
Thanks man, that modem looks great too. Time to order 3 (inlaws and parents RFS same date as mine).
edit: shoulda checked price first. damn.. those are pricey.
The d7800 has issue's with fttn i sent mine back
Telstra are clearly opening the tap around 7pm every evening. While I reliably get around 85+mbps during the day, at this time of night I get:
The d7800 has issue's with fttn i sent mine back
I know there is alot of people saying the modem has issues with fttn but im honestly having no probs at all. They have also released another firmware for it too (1.0.1.10)
I have read somewhere that if your phone line is a bit dodgey or are really far from node the d7800 becomes unstable, who knows i might be just lucky with mine.
I will post syncs speeds 2moro if i can (work nights)
I dont have a dodgy line lol sync on the d7800 was only 99.98 mbps compared to gateway max 109 mbps. And snr is 12db down 7 up. The d7800 has major issue's with loosing the internet connection but sync stays. Could happen once or twice in 24 hout period or happen every 10 to 60 minutes. Go have a look on the netgear forums at the d7800 thread. Good if youre not having issues mate thanks yea post them when u can

Not bad i couldnt get it too sync higher than 99.98 mbps. Looks like they've lifted the limit of 100 mbps
Gman, what did youre isp modem sync at?
From memory i think the skymesh supplied modem was about the same, not much difference in speed either, was maybe 2mb slower then the d7800. Im guessing once more people get hooked up the node the speed will most likely drop? And also 50% of my street are over 70 years old, so i cant imagine them using the net much if at all lol. As mentioned before about 160m to node and pillar is about 2m from that. All the speed in the world wont help anyone lodge a census form online though lol. What a stuff up!
thanks yes i done the census at around 3pm today. i did have the d7800 but now im with the d7000 and its faster overall. i guess its due to the broadcom relationship it has with the nbn node.
Telstra are clearly opening the tap around 7pm every evening. While I reliably get around 85+mbps during the day, at this time of night I get:

The system is broken, clearly, with terrible communication between all the parties.
You're not kidding. Been involved in two NBN install experiences now. One swapping to new provider, one staying with existing. Both have been WOEFUL (and still are � neither resolved yet). Conflicts with existing service, long delays, 'errors' in cancellation of exisiting line with no follow-up to inform me (on third attempt to cancel now), 'preconfigured' modem sent with wrong settings and a total of about 10 hours on call or hold with tech support teams that are unable to help with anything beyond their script.
2COR-09 is RFS today.
I haven't tested widely but only optus seems to say im good to order.
2COR-09 is RFS today.
Just rang Skymesh for my dad and they said "we'll contact you when we're ready for FTTN there".
That's.. annoying. Guess it'll be internode or iinet for a few months.
hey gongdude which settings didyou use for the d7000? did you let the router decide or manually ? And can you post youre noise margins for me please.
my street is full of young families so yeah lucky you living near the old folks
I dunno, I see a lot of families living on my street. My daughter has a friends living one house up from us. Might just be that we're probably one of the first on it still and only 160m to the node.
Maybe haha. Which fw you running on the d7000? my ping has doubled from 6ms to 12ms with the d7000. which settings do you use to get 7ms?
2COR-09 is RFS today.
Thanks for the info. Good luck with the seeming speed lottery.
I checked internode just now by entering my address and it says I may be able to get fttn. More than it has said previously. I'll be submitting an order when I get home from o/s.

Optus checker now goes backwards and says I'm only available for wireless now! d'oh. Reckon it's been delayed.
hmm, managed to get an order in.. but Optus say that Exetel needs to do a change of ownership on the line. I have no idea what that is about.
Can anybody in the woonona area post a speedtest on telstra. Some funky stuff been happening since last night. So telstra claim nbnco doesnt have enough bandwidth for 2-cor-4 yet nbnco blame telstra... -_-
Mount Warrigal
Got a "NBN is Coming to your Area ' from TPG yesterday. I used to be with TPG quite a number of years back. However changed to Iprimus as TPG for some reason never offered ADSL 2 services at Warilla Exchange. TPG � your lack of service in that distant past = no customer from me.
Strangely Iprimus my current ISP is quiet.
I will probably change to Telstra at least until the mud dries a bit on the FTTN.
how long before RFS do you get notice? Cordeaux Heights estimated RFS 2nd September and have heard nothing so far
I was able to put an order in with internode for 2COR-09 (was hoping to go with skymesh but not quite yet). So fingers crossed. Although internode hasn't updated the order in any way in the tracker, so not really confirmation. The Telstra wholesale pdf list which is current as of 11th of August seems to also list 2COR-09 as being rfs too.
Be prepared to pay a solid for telstra nbn plans are set too rise soon.
I was able to put an order in with internode for 2COR-09
I am in the 2COR-09 area, NBN-co auto emailed me two days ago saying they had not reached my address yet.

I am in 2COR-10, and its suppose to be ready for service this Friday (19th August), but looking at the nbnco website, the 2COR-09 area has not changed to ready for service. So i am assuming there are delays.
Anyone know?
I was able to put an order in with internode for 2COR-09
How did you do this? it still says unavailable for the area when I try.
Anyone know?
I'm in exactly the same situation. Dad on 2COR-09 I'm trying to sign him up but nothing yet. Wondering how long it'll take us in 2COR-10. I'm sick of my 2.5mbps (and I work from home fulltime!).
before RFS do you get notice?

You need to look down in the bottom section, 2SHHH-05 is showing November 6.
How can i tell where my closest node is? I will be on FTTN
How did you do this?
Just went to internode, entered my address and it told me I could get nbn. I did a check with Telstra (yesterday in fact) at my address and it said it was ready too. I'm not saying it hasn't been delayed though, it probably has and Telstra and internode are just using incorrect info. :(
How can i tell where my closest node is? I will be on FTTN
By walking the streets around your place. But be aware that the closest one might not be the one you are connected to.
According to Telstra, 2COR-10 has been pushed back 3 weeks.
That doesnt suprise me mate us in 2cor4 got pushed back around 5 months i think it was due to getting access to electricity for the nodes

2COR-09 here in Mount Pleasant.
Telstra have booked me in for the NBN to switch me from ADSL to FTTN on the 1st September. Gonna stick with Telstra for now until Skymesh is ready to do FTTN here as I was able to just continue with my current Telstra contract. Getting a free Telstra TV box sent out as well.
Telstra rep was a bit vague on what speed I was being connected at and did mention 100/40 at one stage but i'm pretty sure it will be 25/5. Once I switch to Skymesh i'll up it and see what the line can actually handle :)
Edit :- Frustrating that both NBNco and MyNBN.info both say still under construction and I have received to calls or brochures from ISP's so far..... Guess it means there is less people to fight off for appointments if almost nobody knows it is active!

100m from the node (i can see the box up the street.. and mostly oldies in my street as well).
Bring it!
EDIT: i tried Skymesh as well... but they dont do FTTN yet. A pity!

No idea why we need a technician, (my house was just re-wired from the street to the house as well by telstra 4 months ago), as its just using existing cooper lines.
Lets wait n see
just called them? why do you need a technician, FTTN is just a modem config?
Because who's going to switch your connection on at node line unless a technician does it for you � as per what people have been writing about in relation to techs at other nodes around the area today for example :

I just called internode, I've signed up at 2COR-10. My date is next friday. Woohoo!
Dad in 2COR-09 still can't sign up for some odd reason.
hmm, how long does it take for an order before you find out when the connection date will be?
Last week I put an order in, and for various reasons I selected I wanted an additional, not replacement, service. They called me and said a replacement service costs $300 in govt charges. So I said, ok, I'll just do a replacement service. But then they said I needed a change of ownership form to be completed by my current ISP. But they would call me back sometime this week.
So instead of waiting on hold I just put a new order in and now I'm waiting to see if I'll get an installation date.
Extraordinary news: a friend in Thirroul had her Telstra appointment for connection set for this morning. At 7:03am her ADSL went down. Ten minutes later her NBN was up.
Amazing.
Telstra have booked me in for the NBN to switch me from ADSL to FTTN on the 1st September.
Just found out my appointment is 29th August.
100m from the node (i can see the box up the street.. and mostly oldies in my street as well).
As I understand it nodes are placed on the edge of the boundary of your service area, because that is how the copper was laid out back in the day (correct me if anyone knows better). Thus you may get magnificent performance or your connection node may be a different node entirely.... even if you are one house away from a node.

I just recently had my house re-done, and when the telstra tech came to my house to install a new copper connection, he told me that the node up the road is my node, and i will get a excellent connection, as there are only 6 houses between mine and the box.

Big green box on your street: https://i.imgur.com/xIIGy5i.png
Even though rollout for me isn't until February can i still expect to find a node nearby?
They're probably only just starting to build now. If you don't notice anything obvious yet they probably haven't started in your street yet.
Happy to report that my speed hasnt dipped below 90 the last 3 nights heres hoping all is good.
good to hear � im waiting for another 10 days before rfs. :)
i ordered the L bundle back when i posted last and just scheduled it for mid sept adsl install.
was told that i could secure the special and just redo the order for fttn come 2nd.
not expecting more than 50mbit though.. so anything above that and ill be happy.
Feels good downloading xbox one games at around 70 mbps sometimes it dips to 20 but not as bad as before.
Oops back down to solid 20mbps tonight... :/ least my last 2 months have been free on telstra
What should I look for?
Go to https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au put in your street address. Left hand side will show your exchange is WRLA da number. Eg 8 Egret place blackbutt is DA80
Next find your pillar by walking around, once found it will have a da or ca number on it. Look for a node near the pillar.
Next do dial before you dig
https://www.1100.com.au
Manual excavation out the front of your house and your neighbours to see how your cable gets to the pillar. That way you work out your distance to the node.
There is 1300 on fttp and the other 2000 in flinders blackbutt are on fttn (3300 houses total)
I pretty sure your on 2SHH-04. Check on mynbn
https://www.finder.com.
Telstra has rfs Jan 20 2017, whilst mynbn is still out in April 2017

My FTTN connection is set for Sept 1. Just thinking about what I am going to end up with already bums me out as we are over 500M from my node as the crow flies. God only knows what the copper distance is. My two neighbours that back on to the rear of my property, one can get FTTN while for the other its a no-go. My neighbour right next to me can get FTTN but the neighbour next to him... nope.
my install date today... waiting anxiously to get disconnected!
Are you 2cor-10? I just saw plenty of nbn playing around with the pillars on cabbage tree.
and I'm live!

How far from the node are you?
If you get 40 up does that mean you can get 100 down?
How far from the node are you?
It's hard to say because i'm in an apartment block way back from the road.
According to this thing I just plotted it says about 600m if the cable runs this way https://i.imgur.com/rUvSI7a.png
silly question but how do you guys know how far away from malcomes node you are?
im getting fraudband on soon and im curious to actually know how many meters of old corroded shitty copper line between my house and the node .......im in mt pleasant near cabbage tree lane :-)
Does anyone know where 2COR-01-09 is? A friend near Thirroul Station is on that node, even though another one (2COR-01-06) is just metres from her house.
Go here pinky https://www.mybroadband.communications.gov.au
....and look up your address. Once the pointer is on your house to the left of the map you will see (data ID no. XXXX:YY). XXXX is the exchange and YY is the pillar number. Mt pleasant road west is serviced on pillar 47, which is where the node is, the corner of Brokers Rd and New Mount Pleasant Rd. Cabbage Tree Lane is pillar 40.
it says core48 any idea where that one is?
it says core48 any idea where that one is?
On the corner of Ramah Ave and Ocean View Parade.
im about 800meters away.........this is going to be shit
Same pillar as me.
There is another node hidden away up on Sublime Ave, which would make more sense for anyone near the school, but I guess it doesn't work like that.
I doubt its 800 meters, the furthest premises in that area is about 570 meters from the node according to google maps.
My connection is at least 850-900 though, even by shortest possible street route. Actually, considering I am surrounded by neighbours unable to apply for connection to the node, even though they must be on the same copper, I suspect I am at the very maximum copper distance from the node before the powers that be classify NBN to be connected by other means.
There is another node hidden away up on Sublime Ave, which would make more sense for anyone near the school, but I guess it doesn't work like that.
The problem is pillars are positioned at the boundary of the area they serve, the side closest the phone exchange, not the middle. I am really close to a pillar... but I know its not the one I connect too. Sublime (I guess you mean Cres not Ave) is for area CORR:98 and Pleasant Heights school (my kids went there, back in the day) is in CORR:40.
How does it work with the new pillars they've put in? I'm in CORR:39 which is on the corner of Carter's Lane and Weber Crescent. They've put in new pillars on Pioneer Road between Marlo and Murranar and between Murranar and Towradgi but who will use these? Will it only be for properties East of Pioneer Road?
Also, there's a much bigger unit (about 2m tall and the same width IIRC) on Towradgi Road outside the 7-11. Anyone know what that is?
It's hard to say because i'm in an apartment block way back from the road.
I'm in the same complex haha
My connection date is tomorrow, I'll let you know how I go in terms of speed.
Having terrible problems in Austinmer:
Just checked out Figtree 2PKE-01 at Finder.com.au and the "Ready for Service" date has changed from 30/9/2016 to "Not Available"
I wonder what this means?
Yeah saw that aswell, can't be good lol. The telstra wholesale pdf still says the 30th but i don't know if that's been updated?
I don't know what mynbn.info has done but my area switched to not available.. yet here I am sitting on NBN a week after I got installed (which was a week after my old "go live" date). Just call Internode or something and see if you're able to sign up, they have more information than that site.
switch over to fttn this friday.
went rfs last friday, got confirmation today.. not bad, a week wait.. just hoping it doesnt get pushed back or anything.

far out. I put my order in on 19/08 and I've been told my appointments were 02/09, 08/09 and now 13/09.
I wouldn't be surprised if Optus has a lot to do with this. Just useless.
i ended up staying with iinet. was going to go telstra but they wouldnt honour the old L bundle plan � their loss XD
fingers crossed i dont get the same nbn tech tho :P
Moved over last Monday on fttn. I just stayed with internode but given there is no contract I figured I could just leave if any issues. Over the week I'm getting consistent 5-7ms ping and 80/40 speeds (it's syncing at 88/44). Very stable with no disconnects. I was getting about 2/0.7 before so a huge improvement.
One thing, when I signed up, I said I wouldn't be porting my number or have a phone service (we don't use the home phone much). However we can still make calls and it still rings. Is that normal? I should ring up internode.
I put my order in on 19/08 and I've been told my appointments were 02/09, 08/09 and now 13/09.
I put in my order 12/8, NBN appt on 24/8 which turned off ADSL and VDSL sync. Nearly two weeks later I still don't have internet. Getting the AussieBB-Optus-NBN run around. NBN missed their appt today, so another day off work tomorrow...

the fttn lottery gods have been good to you! To go from 2 to 80 downstream is pretty damn good.
Got FTTN today, 2COR-10. Am about 100 metres from the node in Fairy Meadow.
I am with Optus, on a 50/20 unlimited. Syncs at 54.9 / 22.6. Getting about 45 / 19.
My appointment was last thursday (1st Sept), which they disconnected my ADSL, and turned on VDSL... but my modem hadn't arrived � so a very unhappy call was made.
Anyway, after a weekend of tethering, i am finally on the goodness.
Any news on what is happening in Farmborough Heights ?
We did have a completion date of 7th October, but now it says date unavailable
As per telstra wholesale pdf:
2PKE-07 Unanderra, Farmborough Heights NSW Wollongong 2 CSA 07-Oct-2016
2PKE-01 here which is Figtree. Node has been up the road (100m away) for a few months now. Was expected to be completed 30/Sept/2016 but now it is also saying N/A Unavailable. Not sure whats going on. Checked out the Telstra wholesale doc and still says 30th so not sure why Finder is displaying it as unavailable when they did have the correct date before.
Should be on track for getting connected with Exetel in 2COR-09 on the 12th of September! Friend of mine a few nodes away was connected the other day.
2PKE-01 here which is Figtree.
Unless you see an update with the date being changed you should be good. Cordo was on and off the list quite a few times over the past few months but the rfs date was solid, either way.
My dad is in Primbee, 2PKE-04, and his install has been all over the place. First install date in August was delayed, no-one contacted him. He called Telstra up and they simply ignored the delay and rebooked the install for September 1.
The delay was kinda important, it seems there is an issue on the NBN side which triggered the first delay. As they ignored this when booking the second install the tech came out and ran into the same issue and couldn't complete the changeover, again. After complaining about how he only gets $20 bucks for 10 minutes work and he has been there an hour he simply announced he wasn't spending any more time on the issue and left.
I went down to my dads house on the weekend and watched him spend a couple of hours on the phone to Telstra. It seems they were apologetic that the FTTN wasn't enabled, but were happy to confirm his PSTN voice service and ADSL disconnection were not missed. That's right, they couldn't enable the FTTN connection AND disconnected his phone and ADSL.
They have no ETA for when the NBN can be connected, and no idea when or if his voice and ADSL can be reinstated. They have offered him 30 GB of data via a dongle per day until his FTTN is connected, but we had to call over three days because every time they said the data was added to the dongle it wasn't. He also noticed when they rebooked in September they actually cancelled his order and created another. Except this time they did not included the Super Speed boost, which he received on the last order at half price.
So now he has to call back once FTTN is connected and have his Super Speed boost re-added at the promo price, he is running a 4G dongle via his ASUS router which I have setup to fall over back to his FTTN modem, meaning he just needs to unplug the dongle and nothing else needs to be adjusted on his network. He has no dial tone, no ADSL, no ETA and the closest timeframe he has been given is "could be November".
That said, he has gone from 3 Mb down and .6 Mb via ADSL to 35 Mb down and 24 Mb up via 4G. Best internet he has had in years.
fttn was installed today � 30 min downtime, 850m from the cabinet in line length sitting at 50/20mbit � was hoping for more but hey i'll take what i can get.
Just got FTTN installed in 2COR-10, synced at 109/40. I ran a speedtest around mid-day, and got 95/38, but now I'm getting 14/30 (sync still the same)....
Would that mean that there's some congestion at the node?
Would that mean that there's some congestion at the node?
Maybe or it could be congestion caused by lack of bandwidth (CVC) provisioned by your RSP at your CSA or a myriad of other possibilities.
Farmborough has slid back three days, now 10-10-16
Would that mean that there's some congestion at the node?
I doubt it could be congested yet. Reading other posts on FTTN, there always seems to be a settling in period before the speeds stabilise. At least you know you have good potential speeds when it is all sorted.

Like the node speeds too...... can't wait :/

Hey Stu where are you getting this date from? I have looked through a lot of pages for 2PKE-07 but have not seen anything official. Did find a 1/2017 date I think it was, but still not a site that was clearly official.
Woonona nodes are somewhat congested im now onto my 3rd rsp and they all have the slowdown after 6pm

It's in this link � https://www.telstrawholesale.
It's time for another day of "will they or won't they" connect my NBN.
For: it's my connnection date
Against: it's a bit cloudy
For: it's got to be third time lucky
Against: NBN and Optus
And, they didn't.
Wtf is a network shortfall? Sounds like a dodgy excuse.
With Telstra FTTN in Mount Pleasant. Only paying for 25/5 till I can switch to Skymesh and have been happy with the speeds so far � 23-24/4.
On the other hand had 4 dropouts last night when it went down for 5 minutes or so. Really annoying for online gaming......
Woonona nodes are somewhat congested im now onto my 3rd rsp and they all have the slowdown after 6pm
ZacB, is that just in the FTTN part of Woonona or the FTTN and FTTP parts?
I'm still not able to get any NBN connection at all as a result of cabling issues to my property. I finally got my letter from NBN yesterday saying that my property will be connected via Fibre between Oct and Feb. Pretty stoked about this as I'm in a FTTN area. When my place was built my line was connected to a Pillar that is in a FTTP area even though the rest of my street is FTTN

What street are you? Do you know what node you're connected to?
Hey fracas. I thinks its the nodes not the poi. Im back to telstra now and i still have congestion. Wow lucky you i wouldnt hold my breathe but that is a good sign. Fttp is 100x better and definitely not congested:
here ya go 5pm and im already well below 50 mbps. Iam gonna chase this up bigtime through telstra and nbnco and push to get my money back and get this shimozzle fixed.

Yep, I just spoke to Optus and they've got congestion (FTTP). Had not problems until the last week or two and was getting full speeds no matter what time.
Unfortunately there's no time frame for a fix.
Seems the wollongong poi is congested. Im sitting on 1 mbps now

Ping and latency is good
Where abouts u from mate? Speeds are now 1mbps down 38 up... fml
My telstra adsl got disconnected about 12:30, rang Optus at 3:30 � something needed replacing at the node. Finally up and running at 5:30.

I'm getting about 13Mbps down right now. At least Optus gave my a 50% discount on fees for the net 3 months.
If I have my dates right, we're starting to see the 18 month transition cycle kicking in. The latecomers are jumping into the network as the copper starts being switched off.
Im on fttn so no copper switch off here :(
Im on fttn so no copper switch off here :(
Yeah, but we all connect to the same PoI, and since a large number of new connections are coming on board we're all affected.
My local node is congested along with the poi :/ iinet didnt wanna lodge a fault to nbnco so i left back to helstra now they are umming and arring... fml
Yeah, it's crap. At least Optus have raised the issue with NBNCo from my end.
Ill be pushing telstra to raise it with nbn tomorrow
iiNet NBN user here, also have experienced congestion the last 2 nights. So yeah I think a whole bunch of new users coming online has affected the whole Wollongong area.
I've pretty much gone since mid-July without any obvious congestion slowdowns, so I consider myself lucky to have gone this long more than anything. If it keeps going for the next few nights, I'll definitely call up iiNet though.
What street are you? Do you know what node you're connected to?
I'm in Parrish Ave so I assume I am connected to the node on New Mount Pleasant Rd about 100m above the bridge.
Still more dropouts tonight :)
I was with iinet for less than a month nothing but 10 mbps speed after 630pm till about 11pm.. nbn sucks
Finally got connected. 62 down and 40 up. Hopefully a little house rewiring will boost that even more.
Basically my network shortfall was a combination of nbn poor ticket management and useless cable records.
Still of the opinion that Optus didn't help the situation with really poor communication. My NBN house visit was completely unannounced and with no appointment, only hours after Optus told me to wait 48 hours before attempting to get in touch again.
I was with iinet for less than a month nothing but 10 mbps speed after 630pm till about 11pm
Yeah I think I am just lucky with the node I am on. My guess is not a lot of iiNet customers are on it, because even after they released the unlimited data plans, my speed was still rock solid and close to the max speed 24/7.
But yeah since Tuesday, things have definitely changed and congestion has started to hit at night.
I found iinet was ok until around 8pm thats when the west coasters came online and speeds struggled.
Still more dropouts tonight :)
Wow � that smile face was definitely supposed to be a sad face or an angry face!
Im on fttn so no copper switch off here :(
It will be "switched off".
The old analog system will be gone in maybe 12 months. All that will be left of the old system is the copper from the pillar to your home.
Well yes technically then the node can run full power and vectoring will work better
It will be "switched off".
The old analog system will be gone in maybe 12 months.
It all depeneds on whether anyone on a given node has speciasl services that cannot be replaced via fttn.
Assuming this, a node can have old tech enabled for ages, if so.
I'm about 700m from the node not expecting to be connected in 2 weeks time :( Not a happy face.

I just hooked up a guy about the same distance away, maybe more, he is now connecting at about 65/40 mbits, not bad as he has a 25mbit ISP plan. He can move to 50 and even 100 and get decent speeds.
He used to get 5mbits with ADSL.

Isn't Skymesh FTTP only?

Thanks � I hope that is the case.
I'd have thought that they would throttle the connection speed so you couldn't get more than you paid for?

They started doing FTTN trials a few months back with the intention of offering full FTTN services at some point. I haven't looked into it since I got NBN in July though, so that might changed, no idea.

Of course they do but not in that way.
There is an Attainable Rate and then there is the actual rate you pay for and get. In the example I gave the most he can get is 65 but he is paying for 25 so he is getting full speed ISP and other issues aside

Thanks Sam,
You'd think there would be more 50/20 plans available as I'm sure that is a most common issue.
Obviously helps explain why the take up of 100/40 is not as high as was expected.
Man weekends suck. https://i.imgur.com/7MWwyeW.png
