Looks like we are starting to get a bunch of "When will the NBN come here" threads, so perhaps it would be good to consolidate all those into one place with the latest info we have.
UPDATE 28/02
BIG NEWS!
NBN Co releases interactive Google map of current and upcoming locations! This means that this list was getting to be a little out of date and unwieldy, so here is the pretty and very useful tool:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/roll
and the news of the release, and some more info on how to use it.
http://nbnco.com.au/blog/nbn
Thanks NBN Co for this!
This should probably be a sticky....
This should probably be a sticky....
I second that motion. I predict we'll see hundreds of these threads created over the next year otherwise.
It will be interesting to see how the NBN will be rolled out compared to the seats the Liberals hold. Sunshine Coast is pretty much all liberal. Wonder if we will get done last.
While I hope that the roll out time isn't predicated on the local members party, (And I strongly suspect it wont be) it would make sense to roll the NBN out in marginal Liberal seats first, rather than secure Labor.

Thats a very safe electorate. But thats without drilling down to the actual deployment area, or checking booth results.

You missed Townsville second release in Queensland.
The five existing locations getting an additional, adjacent rollout site are Minnamurra/Kiama Downs (Kiama) and Armidale in New South Wales, Townsville in Queensland, Brunswick in Melbourne, Victoria and Willunga in South Australia. As the whole township of Willunga is already part of the rollout, the nearby area of Seaford/McLaren Vale will be the adjacent site.
I just called NBN Co's office in Melbourne to find out when it will be rolled out in my suburb.
The bad news is that I am not in either the first or second stages.
They said there will be many, many stages before it is finally all rolled out across Australia, and if I wanted to know when it was going to be at my home to try and call them in April, when they would have a much clearer picture.
They said it will be at least two years though. *sigh*
And I am only 15kms from Melbourne's centre.
If I had known Vic Park in Perth was on the list this early I would have probably bought a house in the area 1-2 years ago.
Not saying NBN would have been the primary reason, but it was an area we were looking at anyway.
NBN would have been a big a big tick for sure!
Instead I bought a house with 3mbit adsl2+ ..yay for me :)
it would make sense to roll the NBN out in marginal Liberal seats first, rather than secure Labor.
Strangely enough, Gungahlin ACT (second stage) is in a very safe Labor seat (Fraser)
I live very close to the area and the only problem is that there are many more premises in the entire Vic Park district than are prescribed by the release strategy. I'm kinda sad that I too am likely to miss out even though my own region -Belmont- was said to have one of the best portfolios (presentations given to NBNCo and Conroy a while ago) in the lead up to the staged release decision announcement.
Justification alone comes from the fact that the majority of us here are all out in the dark in terms of NBN coverage in the next few months to years, thus you were of a completely sound mind to prioritize other important factors when buying your house � even if you didn't know of the NBN, along with the rest of us..
In addition to this sad reality I'm just going to add that LOL WE AIN'T GONNA SEE THIS S*** FOR AGES.
Joe.
This may be better as a Wiki article. The first post says "Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie" are on the Stage 3 rollout list. It is more like 1/3 of the homes in these areas. It might not make a difference to mainlanders but it's like saying that "Melbourne" is on the list, just because Brunswick and Bacchus Marsh are.
I mean have this sticky here, then link to a wiki article for the specific details.
then link to a wiki article for the specific details.
what specifics? they just need stages/dates
You missed Townsville second release in Queensland.
I think for now that the fact townsville is listed, that is enough for this thread. Other threads that are tracking the rollout in each site can cover off the specific locations. That is unless the new area has a different suburb name we can use, otherwise the list will start looking like "townsville site 2, townsville site 6, townsville site 30" etc etc
And the answer is (drumroll) Not soon enough ;-)
Show me the schedule !!!
(now that the prices are out)
Good idea as a sticky
Strangely enough, Gungahlin ACT (second stage) is in a very safe Labor seat (Fraser)
I think that looking for a political conspiracy in where the roll-out occurs is quite a stretch.
Brunswick is also in Labor Party heartland, and that was in the first roll-out.
From what I understand NBN Co is making the rules about what gets rolled out, and far from political considerations, they were seeking to get a representative sample for the first phase, by getting a mix of urban and rural etc.
I think that looking for a political conspiracy in where the roll-out occurs is quite a stretch.
At this stage there aren't any release sites that are politically targeted because theres some in seats that Labor have no chance of winning.
Brunswick is also in Labor Party heartland
The Greens poll well in Brunswick so its indicative of nearby universities. It's probably full of students who need landlord permission to get the fibre installed so the takeup probably won't be great. (This is an extension of an Antony Green assessment and I don't know the area myself).
Riverstone (western Sydney)
*sigh* I live on the other side of Windsor Rd. What a bummer, to add insult to injury, the residential area around the new Rouse Hill Town Center has Telstra Velosity. Hopefully we won't be too long getting connected.
I read online today that their is a delay in negotiations between Telstra and NBN Co that will not not be resolved before middle of next year.
So what that will do to roll-out schedules is any ones guess.
I read online today that their is a delay in negotiations between Telstra and NBN Co that will not not be resolved before middle of next yea
Wasn't it by Australia Day? I think the deal with shareholders is middle of next year.
Bacchus Marsh
does that mean areas around it like melton, sydenham, caroline springs etc will get it at the same time?
Springfield lakes definetly need NBN on it. We are struggling in broadband black hole. No port ava and even no signal for wireless. This message is sent by my 5kpa/s mobile broadband.
Sunshine Coast is pretty much all liberal. Wonder if we will get done last.
If the NBN is going to take 9 years, then Labor has to win Federal Government 2 more times in a row (more or less) if it is to be completed (unless the Coalition does an about face).
Better to focus on marginal Liberal seats if pork barrelling is the name of the game.

I'm afraid that this mess will barely get started let alone finished.
You may want to clarify that the first release sites don't necessarily include the whole of the suburb. For example with Brunswick, there is Brunswick West, Brunswick East and Brunswick (central). Someone may think the whole of Brunswick is getting it, when in fact, only a small area within Brunswick (central) is in the first release site. This is about 10% of Brunswick.
Devonport
From the updated NBN maps ive seen it won't be wired in alot of places.. Incuding Devonport.. Does this mean i can still get full speed or will it be limited? Me is confused..

Under Stage 3, another 90 000 premises will be connected in Hobart, Launceston, Devonport and Burnie.

I'm pondering .. what happens when Telstra sign over their fibre infrastructure to NBNco � does that mean you can sign up immediately thereafter if Telstra fibre is running past your house?
Does anybody know when it may come to Gold Coast, or more specifically Mudgeeraba
And out curiosity how will Mountain areas such as Springbrook be treated by the NBN? Wireless, Satalletie or Optical fibre? Springbrook already has ADSL2 aswell should note that
New here from the US...
Is Norman Park in that Brisbane area you've referred to?
Ahh gotta love when threads already exist and messages are not transferred across, I love posting to Whirlpool so much that I'll do it all again...
About 5 weeks ago, unmarked White vans were around a RIM of our estate, digging about 5 meters from it. They were around for about 4 days.
Then today a Telnix van was parked near the digging and a guy checking out the surroundings.
Is this the early beginnings of the NBN in South Morang or should I stop getting so excited?
Does anyone know how the progress is going on the Townsville rollout, as it is one of the first places receiving the NBN on the mainland. If anyone has any further info on how it is going and how it will expand please reply. I just moved up here and would like to build/buy a home and looking into what areas will receive it the fastest.

As far as I know no one is actually live atm.
But the area in the trial area is ross river road to the river and nathan st to approx halfway down love lane.
They are working away laying cable, they had a cable run outside my door prior to xmas. They also store all the machinery and pipes just behind centrepoint and there doesn't appear to be any work going on so guess they will be back next week
My guess they will expand out from there kirwan maybe the first major outside avale/mundingburra

Launceston
This is strange. I have noticed fibre being rolled out around Devonport right now. From what I see, parts of Hiller St, Turton st, Ashburner St, Forbes St, and a few other places I can't remember. Also have seen lines going to peoples' houses. Of course, I missed out by one street, but I am hoping and praying that they will do my street soon. They seem to not be following any order when it comes to the stages in Devonport.
I think I got my hopes up this week, which I know was most foolish. :)
We've had Linktech hauling fibre (in pits) down our main (3.8km's long) road since Tuesday. I also remember seeing them doing it in the town CBD (Geelong) a few months back. Checking out their website suggests this is for Pipe Networks. I'm assuming I would have seen NBNco on the trucks anyway and the fact we are a large regional town with access to both ADSL2+ & HFC I don't think we'll be on the next few stages.
Are there any clues in the NBN business plan as to how many new locations will begin construction in the next year or so?
Is there anyone out there watching the actual NBN construction and taking notes. Just basic stuff like how many guys and what sort of equipment and how long things are taking � and also observations about work practices and the effectiveness of machinery.
it would make sense to roll the NBN out in marginal Liberal seats first, rather than secure Labor.
I'd have thought the exact opposite would be true ie if you were conducting the rollout with such cynical factors in mind, this electorate would be among the very last to be rolled out.
My logic is that if you have a seat where most are inclined to vote coalition but you hope the NBN to generate a swing to labor, why connect this seat up early? The punters get their fibre hooked up and now have no further use for labor, so they go back to being coalition voters the very day the trench outside their house is filled in.
Surely, if you wanted to capitalise on the self interest of such swinging voters over a longer timeframe, you would fibre up the safe (coalition or labor, does not matter) electorates surrounding the marginal seat and keep the NBN-happy but otherwise coalition-inclined swinging voters in the marginal electorate slavering at the chops with an ongoing reason to vote labor for as many federal elections as it takes to get the network fully built.
The NBN is a bit like knowing what you are getting for Christmas, you just can't wait to get it LOL.
I'm pondering .. what happens when Telstra sign over their fibre infrastructure to NBNco � does that mean you can sign up immediately thereafter if Telstra fibre is running past your house?
I doubt that very much i am guessing it will be just the fibre links they are talking about, on the upside perhaps the cost to various ISP's using that will drop, meaning a cheaper plan for those stuck on telstra only exchanges or RIM's
Does anyone know how the progress is going on the Townsville rollout, as it is one of the first places receiving the NBN on the mainland.
Following on from this, does anyone know if Townsville still getting the city wide rollout in stage two or not? I was told a while ago that it was still going ahead, but now I can't find anything about it and no one seems to be mentioning it anymore.
Thanks.
Edit: Oh wait I found this:

The five existing locations getting an additional, adjacent rollout site are Minnamurra/Kiama Downs (Kiama) and Armidale in NSW, Townsville Qld, Brunswick in Melbourne, and Willunga in South Australia. As the whole township of Willunga is already part of the rollout, the nearby area of Seaford/McLaren Vale will be the adjacent site.
I just sent NBN Co Limited an email regarding the installation of the wireless service in our community, I will go out on a limb and repost it here in the hope that somebody 'in the know' could perhaps shed some light on the issue.
Hi. I contacted your department late last year about an ETA on the NBN being rolled out in our suburb of Lefroy. Lefroy is just outside the Stage 2 Community of Georgetown.
We were told that we would likely not see the high speed fibre installed here but rather the 12mb/s wireless alternative. We were given a rough estimate of when we would have access to this wireless service, we were told early 2011.
I was just writing to you to ask if there had been any changes or advances in the installment of 12mb/s wireless in the Lefroy area.
Any help would be great. Thank you.
I just sent NBN Co Limited an email regarding the installation of the wireless service in our community
Wireless??? Doesn't the NBN fibre go through Lefroy on it's way to Scottsdale?
Last I heard Stage 2 was to begin in February 2011. Don't know what happens for towns in between Stages 1 & 2.

Wireless??? Doesn't the NBN fibre go through Lefroy on it's way to Scottsdale?
Indeed it does, that is why I assumed that we would be using the fibre service. But I sent them an email a few months back and was told that there were no plans to install an exchange here in Lefroy but instead we will receive NBN wireless coverage.
We aren't complaining, 12mb/s is an enormous leap from the absolutely awful satellite connection we have no choice but to use now.
Is Lefroy actually on the backhaul route, or is it a couple of Ks down a side road?
I know its a small town, but if NBNco are serious about reaching 93% it is actually the kind of place they have to reach in order to make their target.

Most of the small towns around my area are reportedly only getting wireless. Seems funny though that the NBN wireless is only 12Mbps when NextG in my are already exceeds this (effing exxy though).
Most of the small towns around my area are reportedly only getting wireless.
As far as I can find out, almost all the small (and larger) towns in my area are getting satellite, two wireless and one fibre.
Worth noting that the change from 90% to 93% was the result of taking into account the increasing urbanisation of Australia by the time the rollout is complete.

I don't, Shepparton is at the bottom !! :o/
Hopefully i get in on the trial in Geraldton
this post whrl.pl/RcAf36 speaks only of the CBD from shenton street to phelps but i live in ainsworth, hopefully reaches back this far, that image is pure speculation on my part
not holding my breathe tho, knew the rollout coming here wasnt for consumers but in part because it had already started as apart of a backhaul blackspots program and the SKA tender as a sweetener
we arent so much technologically advanced as we are chronologically advanced
When will the NBN come to Wollongong NSW?
WA:
Geraldton
Good to see near the top of the list. Is there any website with definate answers on when the roll-out will start / be completed?

For geraldton they have already reached us from perth with fibre, thats the easy part.
Getting permission from local luddite homeowners and endless red tape from council and Telstra.. they say March for us but only if you are within the 'trial' area.
Most likely when the nbnco met with the council they told them we have only have.. 6 people living here who would actually understand what it is, it was only coming here as competition to telstra backhaul and the SKA tender anyways so.. cbd only bro
they wont notice.
When will the NBN come to Wollongong NSW?
I don't think anyone knows for sure but my best guess would be not for a fair while. Having said that Wollongong might get it before some other city areas due to the stage 1 test near by at Kiama.
Well, that sucks :'(
Was hoping that due to it being installed in a near suburb, most of illawarra would have nbn by late 2012. (I'm in dapto � kanahooka)
to the NBN coming to Kingsley WA,we dont want it!.we are happy to stay with bigpond cable!
Fuuuuuuu I live like 20 mins away from Vic Park/Bentley (15 if I drive fast :P)....
Some of the other suburbs mentioned in the brief are actually further away from Victoria Park than I am! If they started moving the NBN towards the derelict suburbs where I live instead of the city maybe I would have a chance...
The NBN report released 20 Dec 2010
- Product and Pricing Overview for Access Seekers
contains a list of upcoming NBNCo reports including:
Annexure 6: Document Release Schedule (p.93)
*NBN Co Indicative Rollout Schedule
The indicative national network rollout will provide information on the planned deployment of the fibre, satellite and wireless networks.
Due Quarter 1, 2011
Would be good if there was a list of all Australians cities and their mean download speeds, then start from the town/city with the lowest mean speed. This no doubt has many logistal problems that would blow out the budget. Fair though :)
That would be kinda mean to all the people if the average was the lowest mean of all the peoples speed or a mean of all the average mean people in the areas of the average lowest speed.. meany
i may or may not be wasted right now
Would be good if there was a list of all Australians cities and their mean download speeds, then start from the town/city with the lowest mean speed. This no doubt has many logistal problems that would blow out the budget. Fair though :)
But they could have high density around the exchange that get high speeds then lots of people further away getting hopeless speeds under 3Mbps.
I think they should do exchanges that cover large areas that have backhaul run near by.
The Ascot exchange would be good.
It covers a large area lots of people get poor speeds due to very old copper and it is very close to Brunswick so backhaul will be easy to connect into and many businesses and residents would benefit along with about 4 schools on that one exchange.
The indicative national network rollout will provide information on the planned deployment of the fibre, satellite and wireless networks.
Due Quarter 1, 2011
What they dont tell you is when you will actually get the service. For e.g they said rollout early 2011 in Willunga but I just found out I wont actually get the service till Mid year to end of the year. Thats very misleading.
Why so keen to access the roll out without any idea what it will cost for either the equipment or access?
Assuming that during the NBN rollout conservative voters buy into Tony Abbott's negative campaign and areas with a high number of conservative voters are less likely to embrace the NBN during the trial, what will this mean for the implementation plan?
It would make sense for the NBN to hook-up areas least likely to embrace the system after high-adopting areas are connected.
This is all conjecture, given I know some areas will be hooked up in a particular order regardless of initial take up rates, but are conservative areas tying a noose around their neck? Ie Are they relegating themselves to be of lesser priority during the rollout, meaning they and their children will miss out on the NBN benefits for longer than other areas?
I'm also in South Morang and would love to know what you discovered. I wasn't expecting any physical work till mid year at least. What RIM/Estate are you refering to. I'm in Highview and seen nothing yet.
EDIT: I thought i'd quoted a previous thread. Forum user fail. I was responding to the post that GEoMaNTiK made on p2.

Hi man,
I live close to the Highview Estate and just today noticed some guys working in that location also, so decided to drive off Plenty Road and get closer to the action.
They were passing cables into the ground right next to that RIM, check out this photo and tell me if you see fibre 8)
Looking good for South Morang or what???
Hard to say. FiO is usually dark blue. Sound right? Shoulda asked them.
How can I find out if my town Nunamara, Tasmania will get Wireless or satelite?
I found this:
But it doesnt go into detail and tell you all of the small towns which will be covered.
Looking good for South Morang or what???
ahhhhhhhhhh � I just moved from that estate!!!

Ahhh i'm in highview so can only hope it is. I recognise that bus stop across the road. That is called a pillar btw (i'm not an expert but its what I know it as). Contains only copper. The RIM is actually a grey box on the grass further down near the traffic lights. A cable that size is more likely to be fibre than anything else. So unless it is RIM maintenance then it is most likely NBN. Unless some one has ordered a fibre connection and paid for it. Businesses are still doing this. Though given what is down the road (nothing but houses and trees) I think that explanation is unlikely.
So has anyone found a site where it details the Wireless NBN rollout plan and time frames?
So has anyone found a site where it details the Wireless NBN rollout plan and time frames?
Now that would be 'interesting' if it exists yet.
Well we have probably all read the news that communities may have the option to purchase NBN fibre for their area. We need a plan/outline about this, we need detailed maps of who is getting what at this stage and prices for a community based rollout per metre of fiber and exchange upgrades.
Whithout all of the above info everything is just speculation.
to the NBN coming to Kingsley WA,we dont want it!.we are happy to stay with bigpond cable!
You're speaking for the whole town are you? Have you had an independent polling company coming do some research?
Oh Gee Whiz, I can't wait for this exciting NBN thingy to take off, I'm sure my food will taste better.
I live in a country town in central NSW, about 50 meters from the fibre optic exchange. The streets are all a crisp square grid of asphalt with lots of trenches already done with the telephone lines in them.
About 100 sheeple live in the town, and they are all being shorn clean by 3G and satellite.
Paul reese and skymesh rescued me from dialup, using Thailand's satellite IPSTAR, the Government is using $3000 of my public money to do it. There are quite a few other $3000 dishes here too.
Of course, there is no way fibre optic will ever be laid in the existing trenches in my town to bridge the last 50 meters or so.
But who knows, maybe the Government can spend more of my money and send me a shiny sticker that says "NBN" to stick onto the satellite dish that gives me world class latency. Maybe I can do it myself with a black pen and save my own money that way.
Still, I have plans to retire overseas one day, so no doubt that will happen and then I'll actually have an internet superhighway, like civilized countries had back in the nineties....of course they have moved on now. So any third world country will still provide faster than Oz net for nothing, long after the NBN comes to my town.
but they have laid some fibre for example in Kingston and Georgetown (I saw it myself)
Yet to see it myself and I live there. :)
Yet to see it myself and I live there. :)
From memmory you live in Kingston/Hobart right?
I was down in Kingston and if you look at the powerlines running from Sandy Bay all the way to kingston you will see the new NBN cable. It also runs up the middle of Kingston.
I have family there :) However I dont go there that often so I am not 100% sure it is the NBN cable but it does look like the same cable that I see in Scottsdale.
It is a faily thick black cable which runs just underneath the power cables on the powerlines. I have noticed some places have a similar cable which is used in areas where there are tree's etc. But the fact it ran through sandy bay and through kingston has me wondering.
Is there any recent news on potential sites?
From memmory you live in Kingston/Hobart right?
Nah, The other place mentioned in your previous post. :)
Nah, The other place mentioned in your previous post. :)
Sorry I havent actually been to Gtown for a while, so I cant comment on that.
However:
Work on phase two had been expected to start in December, but Senator Conroy has told ABC Local Radio it was delayed by an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) recommendation in October regarding the layout of the network.
looks like you will have to wait roughly 1-2 months as the ABC audio clip I posted said. Think yourself lucky. You will be connected in at least 1 year.
I dont even get fibre, I am still trying to find out if I get Wireless.
You will also get it ahead of the rest of Australia. Lucky you :)
The other stage 2 towns such as kingston had some of theirs layed way early in the piece.
Even Launceston has some on the powerlines. A small stretch near the Univerity on the Telstra exchange side and another small stretch near the General hostpital.
Its as if they are markers for the technicians.
Nice for Tassie to get something important before most of the mainland for a change. I'm in St Helens (pop. 2050) and connection to the house is days away....hope it will be worth it.
There, the rollout in a stage 2 "St Helens" is about to connect houses.
Also Sorell I hear is in the same boat.
I was again driving through Launceston yesterday and noticed NBN cable in these areas:
1:Tamar street: Running from the "The Oak" pub down towards Invermay
2:Past the front of the General Hostpital
3: From Mowbray centre to Launceston University
I was not actively looking for it, I just noticed it.
However they are length of 500 metres max & coils of fibre on power poles.. not connected to anything.
So I assume they are some kind of Marker for the rollout crew.
Dont forget Launceston is stage 3 rollout.
Here the cable is strung under the power lines, disappears into a covered pit in the ground...a junction of some sort I guess. There is a coil of cable on the pole right outside the house. This is a group of 8 villas and they are doing the connection free apparently. I'll let you know what happens to the coil.
Thanks mate, I think we should start a thread maybe "Where have you spotted NBN cable in Tasmania", I will put it up tonight.
Yes they are doing all connections for free at the moment from what I hear. What street is this on? I want to maybe as part of this new thread show a map with streets of towns and streets which have been covered with NBN and also ones which are currently having it installed.
If NBN will not release this map then we the people can have a go at it.
Take a photo of it..... and upload to image shack or flikr and then link it to here.
Yes the cable I have seen is also linked to the power poll underneath the main powerlines. Black fairly thick and the links are sliver with often yellow/balck tape or rubber on it. I will have to get some photos rather than rely on memmory.
Will do, I'll wait for the new thread
Will do, I'll wait for the new thread
Here is a link to the thread. I decided I might be a bit busier tonight so I thought I will just start a rough thread now and make it better in the coming days.
What a pathetic roll out plan? Seems like NBN Co. has designed its roll out plan with promise that they will reach the current black-spots in the LAST phase of roll out. For example, the second phase of roll out in South Australia will cover Prospect and Modbury. Both of these suburbs already have their own exchanges and residents already have high speed ASDL2+. Wasn't it more logical to reach black-spots first?
Is there any word to when the NBN is comming to Horsham VIC?
I can see it is in planning for Mildura but i have not heard amything here. I have searched their site and still cannot find anything
has designed its roll out plan with promise that they will reach the current black-spots in the LAST phase of roll out.
no they haven't and the stages are to test a live trial of it's network designs and construction methods.
Both of these suburbs already have their own exchanges
like most other area's..
residents already have high speed ASDL2+
just because the exchange is adsl2 enabled doesn't mean they get anywhere near those speeds
Now delaying stage 2?
no there not..
I wanted fast friggen broadband
and you will get it, anywhere between now and 9 years
Does anyone know when NBN will have fibre in Kogarah, Syndey?
i'll be heading to kiama downs or minnamurra in search of a flat/apartment with fibre
This is what I'm doing in two weeks � however I just spoke to NBNco and they say the fibre wont be going live until June/July after which I think there'll be a further wait whilst ISP's get themselves sorted.
So we're at the end of the 1st quarter, 2011, which is when NBN Co said the rollout schedule would be released. Anyone heard anything further?

The (Dec 2010) Product and Pricing Overview mentions a Document Release Schedule (p.93) including:
- NBN Co Indicative Rollout Schedule
Calendar Quarter 1, 2011
The indicative national network rollout will provide information on the planned deployment of the fibre, satellite and wireless networks.
Please advise status of this report eg (1) is available for public release, or (2) delayed, or (3) other.
Thanks and regards
I was down in Kingston and if you look at the powerlines running from Sandy Bay all the way to kingston you will see the new NBN cable. It also runs up the middle of Kingston.
Just clarifying � are you sure this was new?
There has been aerial fibre from the city, via Taroona, to the Antarctic Division at Kingston for years.
The same in Launceston � the Uni has fibre between all its sites, although I'm not sure if it is aerial or not.
I notice you call it "NBN cable" so wasn't sure if there was some kind of marking on it to indicate that it was NBN specific and not just some other fibre optic cable?

Good morning,
Thank you for your enquiry.
We have had a strong response from people across the country wanting to know when the NBN will come to their area.
Ideally, we would like to be able to tell you exactly when your area will be connected to the NBN. Unfortunately we are not in a position to do this in the short term as this will be affected by legislation and agreements currently being discussed by government.
What we can tell you at this stage is that the network is still in the design phase and we expect it will take around 10 years to roll out nationally. Unless you are in a First or Second Release site, the NBN is unlikely to be in your area for at least two years.
Maps outlining the proposed coverage around Australia and including a list of towns receiving fibre, wireless and satellite, are available on the NBN Co website which give an indication of what type of service you are likely to receive.
These maps are indicative at this stage. There are a number of variables such as housing density, housing type, geography, climate and local infrastructure, that can affect where and when and exactly where the network is rolled-out.
When we get on the ground in your area, we will be able to be more specific about exact boundaries, as they need to take into account local geography and other factors.
When your area is scheduled as part of the roll-out, there should be lots of information available from numerous sources such as your council and retail service providers and you will most likely be contacted directly about installation on your premises.
We have recently published case studies which are available to find out how people are currently using the National Broadband Network.
Keep an eye on our website for news and announcements about the project as it progresses. Soon you will be able to register to receive regular updates.
More detail is published in our Corporate Plan, which you may like to read from our website.
Which means basically that "we have NFI when anyone outside the trial areas will get it, and don't bother asking again til at least 2013".
Anyone know the suburbs under "brisbane inner north"
edit: posted in different thread
we have NFI
So true of these Govt do nothings,
And the construction head quit today too.... Such a good sign.
Isn't this thread redundant now that it is quite clear its coming to no one ever?

no, it is coming..
Hi,
I'm really interested to find out when it's coming to my area, I live in the second release site.
However was that part of the negotiations they were conducting that have been halted, or has that work started already?
Cheers for any info :)
or has that work started already?
you would have noticed the NBN trucks if they started
I just moved out of mandurah :(

I too would like to know this...

the second release site isn't tiny
Anyone notice anything in the area designated as Modbury and shown on the map as part of the second release? Has it started?
This has probably been posted elsewhere � but still relevant to this thread...

Very good reference for the RBBP rollout (with proposed schedule as well).
All seems a little redundant to me, Telstra Reach provides an excellent service to most of our township here in the sticks (<gloat> ~20Mbps sync for me personally </gloat>) yet they're going to take it right past our door...
