I don't think I'll be getting the nbn anytime in my lifetime.

Pretty much sums it up for a lot of people here in Australia.

I remember looking on the NBN website and it would say that construction would commence within 1 year, but that was 3 years ago! Not very riliable
thats how I feel fanger
I remember looking on the NBN website in 2010 and it would say that construction
isn't planned in my area for the next 5 years. Now 5 years later it just says "The NBN rollout has not started in your area".
Telstra reps keep spruiking trash like, "Oh don't worry about what it says on NBNCO, it will definitely be here in the next 2 years."
It was almost 8 years ago that the 'Kevin 07' election happened... :(
I chatted to one of the candidates in my electorate about the up coming election. I asked him what his plans were to address the lack of progress (i.e. no plans to deploy NBN in a large Sydney Metro area) and what he was going to do about it.
He said it was a federal issue and couldn't really do much. I wasn't really impressed by his answer.
If our local Politicians feel they cannot affect the rollout (or lack thereof), what chance for the rest of us?
Note: I have removed all political affiliations from this post as I don't want this to degenerate into a political slime throwing contest.

That was your first mistake. Whenever you ask a politician about something like this they will always attempt to shift blame first, and state pollies can easily do that in this case.
If you really want a politician to do something about it you need to ask the right politician, namely one who has the balance of power.
Another alternative is to get a strong lobby group on your side. If you could convince the ACL that an NBN rollout in your area will convert people to Christianity then you'll probably see Abbott announce a roll out in that area the next day.
For as long that this highly needed, I would just turn over in your bed and dream. No sooner that you have a connection then you will be disappointed.
I have been to a friends place when he was connected and saw Nothing!! This was a month ago! Today he's fuming and paid far too much. He's now at the Library where they have a misrible speed.
This government will not spend any money on the Fiber Network. Let the ISP's layout the Fiber to the Home.
The OP of this sticky needs fixing, as does the heading.
bit of an update for nowra nsw,
there seems to be work commenced in cbd
but where I live in bomaderry ,looks like fixed wireless towers ??
how does fixed wireless go compared to fixed line?
I am in the 2HOM area (Homebush) that was under construction but was wiped off the map when the new government rolled in.
What's the chance of my area getting NBN in the near future?
Does NBNCohave a general rollout page or information on where they may move to in particular areas?
My area has always been "no rollout information" but I see other areas not that far away being built so surely they would have some idea of when they would start in the next suburb over etc etc? wouldnt they? or do they pick at random at the end of each build?
I just want to know how long until I can get anything above the crappy 3.2Mbps (if I am lucky) speed I have now
Lol 5 years on. Still no nbn plans for my area. Ah well! I'll be happy with just getting my broadband up an running at my new house (bloody nightmare it seems).

It's appauling! Because the general Morley/bassandean (my area) apparently didn't vote liberal we were struck off the nbn development, even though millions has already been spend upgrading/working on the exchanges & putting cable down etc.
I don't think I'll be getting the nbn anytime in my lifetime.
We've decided to sell up and move next year and currently looking around to gain knowledge of the market and big box that needs ticked is NBN
No NBN and I doubt we would buy the place
I live in Warrnambool, VIC and today I saw contractors installing thick bright green cable into the ground along Darwinia St (for those that want to look) I went inside and looked on the website and saw nothing in my area for wireless or wired NBN works in the future. I called the NBNco and they said they know nothing about it either.
Does anyone know if they install the backbone without any notice by letter or the webpage etc? I wouldn't think it would be any other type of cable being installed as it looked identical to the NBN cable. Also once they have installed the backbone what kind of waiting period is then expected to have the service installed to the houses??
I went inside and looked on the website and saw nothing in my area for wireless or wired NBN works in the future.
Warrnambool is surrounded by Fixed Wireless areas under contruction now so perhaps the cable was in connection with this work � the hub towers are usually fibre connected to the exchange. Also there is a new greenfield site on northern outskirts of town, although Darwinia St wouldn't be likely to be on the way between there and the exchange.
FYI, Warrnambool is on the rollout list for 14700 premises to be started by June 2016. Google "NBN MTM rollout plan"
Looked on the map, no future plans for the entire east melbourne including balwyn, key, canterbury... so that sucks.... then I see that brighton and cranbourne have an abundance of NBN, wth is going on
Anyone know if NBNco plans on "switching on", aka reselling, the cable infrastructure in areas that have Telstra cable.
They are absolutely planning to take over the HFC Cable. I think they are still working out the finer details. But just to give you hope it might all work ok, check this out. They are talking about the possibility of 1Gbps on your cable.

Yay for Bucasia! We made the updated list. Now to wait and see what they're going to deliver to us!
Maybe someone here can help me out with this...I live in an apartment block in 3161 with 16 apartments.
The apartments are all wired for ADSL, however, since the apartments were built, HFC has been wired into SOME, not all of them as far as I know. Myself and my upstairs neighbour are wired for HFC, I think two others inn our "corner" are not, and not sure about the others.
my building can't be the only one that is in this situation (older buidlings, anyway)
What will the Coalition do in terms of the MTM (assuming they ever get here, we were originally to get FTTP THIS MONTH *cries*) � will they say "well, five/whatever units out if X have HFC, they can have that, and the rest are on FTTN", or will the whole block be on FTTN and the ones with HFC get another option?
Note it's currently Telstra only HFC � Optus has no access to it.
They are absolutely planning to take over the HFC Cable
Meh so next year some time, maybe 2017. Was hoping they would use the existing infrastructure and offer it wholesale, rather then getting stuck with Telstra who's pricing are bleeding ridiculous.
We recently checked our letterbox for our townhouse last week (after not for probably a month, our postal address is different to our residential one, only our housemate has his personal mail sent here) and there was that card saying "Construction work in your street" and how our map (4klg-07) will be worked on soon. I just wonder if there are any benchmarks based on people who are already connected who can say how long it took from them receiving that card until when they could connect and have access via an ISP. I asked in the local thread to my map area and no responses there.
Was hoping they would use the existing infrastructure and offer it wholesale, rather then getting stuck with Telstra who's pricing are bleeding ridiculous.
They are taking it over and offering it all Wholesale as per NBN guidelines.
statement followed by question :)
I have recently moved to a rural area where I'm close to the edge of the blue map that shows the adsl's reach. (lol I know that Was far from technical and probably made little sense but I hope someone's following me)
From research I've done the estimate average speeds availble for someone in my area is about 2.12 Mbps and someone near by to me is getting 1.5 Mbps.
so it's basically pointless for me to get the Internet due to what I would want to use it for. (online gaming and streaming)
now for the question..
mount macedon, the area I moved to is in the roll out schedule to start works between now and September 2016.
how long before construction commences will I be able to find out that it is in fact starting?
and
what are the chances of it happening soon?
sorry about the long winded spiel :)
thanks in advance
about 2.12 Mbps and someone near by to me is getting 1.5 Mbps.

You should be able to game on such speeds if your ping is not too bad. :) Ping / latency / lag is generally more important than raw speed but it depends upon what game you're playing.
As for streaming, well, it depends upon your screen resolution / download format. You might be OK with low quality, standard definition, on a small screen like a tablet or laptop but forget HD (720p), full HD (1080p) or 4K. :/
roll out schedule to start works between now and September 2016
Other questions . . . NFI :( That said, regardless, a lot could happen between now and when it might potentially go live, so I wouldn't hold your breath.
NBNCO are a joke...the area I am in is surrounded by wireless coverage but conveniently my part of the suburb (and a good deal others) are in a reception blackspot....that blackspot is one of the only areas in town that has no access to basic adsl services....
Ridiculous organisation that has no bloody idea of priorities whatsoever

how would u find out what the ping would be like where I live?
also what effects ping?
how would u find out what the ping would be like where I live?
That's the problem, you won't really know until you get a service and try it. You could ask your neighbours if they have a connection and if so see what they get or perhaps even try using your computer on their network but it'll only be an indication as the quality of your line might be different, especially if you use a different ISP.
NB it'll also vary from game to game due to different server locations & routing options by your ISP.
also what effects ping?
IIRC, quite a few things such as distance from game server (incl. routing), ISP, game server & your connection (i.e. wired / wi-fi).
Why not just try a service on a month to month basis and sign up if you like what you get?
Why not just try a service on a month to month basis and sign up if you like what you get?
thanks mate! I think I'll give telstra a call tomoro!
Am I right to assume the green cable I see going into the ground is the NBN cable?
and
Do the cable layers use existing underground routing such as was dug out when the electricity and phone cables were moved underground? I ask hopefully because I have seen the green cable going into a hole near my place and for several nights now the overhead street lights have been off � hopeful because the NBN mob may have knocked a connection loose. It may be closer than I thought
Good to see my local exchange "Avalon Beach NSW" has been scheduled for an upgrade any time till June 2016. That's quicker than I would have ever expected. Although it will be Multi-Technology Mix. So the slower fiber to the node for most places. Hopefully it will start sooner than later.
It seems like it is a common issue with NBN avoiding high density areas close to the CBD regardless of what city you're in.
The cynical side of me feels like they're just turning out the NBN in the brand new outer suburb areas because its real easy to do and you can score political points on how quickly you're connecting "so many" homes.
Trying to connect inner city areas and deal with the ancient mess of crumbling infrastructure that's been around since WW2 is too hard so doubt they'll do it any time soon, if ever. Even though one would think improving the communication infrastructure in areas where it is really bad and in areas which have a higher concentration of businesses would be the smart thing to do.
But then since this government came in I don't even pay attention to the NBN anymore, it's become a joke and I'd just get mad.
"Here Are The Next 550,000 Places Set To Get The National Broadband Network"
Arrrrrrgggghhhh so close, my area is being surrounded by NBN but still nothing for my exchange (Jamboree Heights).
I'm not sure how the NBN selects what suburbs and exchanges to connect to the NBN, Is there someone sitting in an office on capital hill just throwing darts at a map on the wall and saying lets build there?
Especially when there are over subscribed suburbs & places where they can't even get adsl or only slow connections and adsl1 that are crying out for NBN.
Repost as I think it was missed
Maybe someone here can help me out with this...I live in an apartment block in 3161 with 16 apartments.
Can someone shed some light here?
I am in Brunswick West and right next to existing service connections but yet there is no indication as to when we are likely to see any installation work even begin to come down Albion Street and surrounds. I would have thought that being next door to Brunswick it would have been logical to expect to have been next on the list.
I thought we would all have 25Mbps by 2016...what happened to that
Budget emergency?
LOL...
People were stupid enough to vote Liberal, they get what they deserve.
right now I'd be happy with anything over 1mps !!!
which is my current land line speed :-(
Got a letter to Account holders saying congratulations the NBN is now in your area from Southern Phone Company, problems is not even on the list for any forecast development in Byron yet, they did however apologize for raising my hopes.

The Fixed Wireless tower on Hayters Hill is due to be activated on 31st of this month. Looking at the rollout map some people within Byron will be able to receive a signal from this tower and the other towers in the surrounding areas ( I am hoping to be one of these). Southern Phone might just be blank advertising the area?
I take you have checked to see if you are in the FW rollout area?
Looking at the NBN map there doesn't seem to be any type of plan at all, you would think it would be done suburb by suburb instead it looks like they are playing pin the tall on the donkey.
I'm still trying to find any info when 2211(padstow) will be started but the NBM website gives me nothing. I think its a completely useless website as it hardly gives any useful info for what people are looking for.
Does anybody have any of the info I'm looking for good or bad?
NBN is available over a very small area over my ADSL Exchange. Does that mean anything? My suburb nearby is not on the planned list.
https://au.news.yahoo.com/th
"He listed engineering principles, work fronts, and upgrades to Telstra�s transit network as the main challenges for the Margaret River rollout.
�The Margaret River exchange has always been problematic for us, � he said.
Mr Gurney said the region�s ageing copper network, difficulty securing tenure agreements and State land for internet towers further delayed the rollout"
Key Points
� NBN Co promises to deliver 25Mbps download speeds and 5Mbps in upload speeds to all residents, but no timeframe is in place for Margaret River�s rollout.
� Network to be delivered through a mix of fixed-line fibre-to-the-node, fixed wireless, and satellite broadband.
� Margaret River, Witchcliffe, Augusta, and Molloy Island have council approval for some fixed-wireless NBN.
� Burnside and Hamelin Bay still in planning.
� More information will be announced in a three-year plan in July.
Considering my line speed around 12Mbps on a ADSL connection at the moment that isn't bad compared to most people in town who can't get ADSL or stuck on crappy 3G mobile broadband as the exchange has no more ports free now
my download speed is 1.5mbps max
My area's likely not going to see any FTTP/FTTH/MTM/<INSERTACRONYMHERE> for at least 4-6 years, at the current speed of rollout.
So I take it Belconnen, being Safe Labor, won't see any NBN any time soon... Like next 5 years or so... I tried looking up Belconnen and Latham (thinking of buying there) and there's no information..
Sigh. I'm in coburg north. Labor safe seat, less than 10km from Melbourne cbd. Disgustingly slow speeds (6k for me). Not even listed on a plan. I think ill be last.
Not even listed on a plan. I think ill be last.
Are you in a safe seat? Apparently, the NBN has nothing to do with marginal / safe seats.. However this does not appear to be the case.
Belconnen isn't even on the list... it's waaaayy down somewhere... Safest of safe Labor...
darra (QLD) is appearing on the 18 month rollout at mynbn so am hopeful it is accurate since I am connected to a darra exchange....still a long wait but any news is good news
Any news on when Cessnock and surrounding suburbs will start rolling out the NBN? I'm to far from the exchange for ADSL.
Any news on when Cessnock and surrounding suburbs will start rolling out the NBN? I'm to far from the exchange for ADSL.
According to Mynbn.info (A site that has trustworthy and reliable information) says that Cessnock will get NBN Fibre To the Node (Fibre to the nearest Node Cabinet then copper the rest of the way to the house)
Sad news is you will be waiting a while, Q3 2016 to be exact and Ready for service won't be till Q1 2017. But hey, if the current government gets kicked out before build happens then there's a slim chance the New NBN will cancel FTTN construction if it hasn't happened yet and replace it with FTTP.
Just prey and hope you get lucky.

So that clears it up, thing is that residential suburbs tend to get done first as the uptake is greater ?
Internet in the Stanhope Gardens/Parklea area has been really bad lately. I think rain might be affecting this. SNR readings on my DSL modem are at an all time low and I had to switch to G.DMT to reduce packet loss or an unstable connection. 405 KB/s down and 70 KB/s up is decent but the constant dropouts are really bad.
ADSL is the only option here and the area isn't even marked as 'planned' on the NBN rollout map. Why is this? The Stanhope Village shopping center on my street seems to have NBN service (according to the map) and there are many other recent rollouts nearby such as the Ponds.
How long am I looking at for an NBN rollout?
Would I get FTTN or FTTP?
If FTTN, how would the node connect to the house? There are phone lines but no cable on my street (Sentry Drive). Would they be forced to run fiber to the house?
The DSL connection is usable (barely) but there's no way it would support a Fetch TV system with the constant dropouts and mediocre download speed. Getting through uni exam period was terrible as most of my course revision is available in online video form. It would really help if I could trust my internet connection.
The amount of people who used this surprised me
http://www.nbnpetition.com
Thanks!
How can I find out where the Belconnen area in the ACT is situated in the priority list? I imagine it's way down, and would be FTTN if we get it within the next five years or whatever... If FTTN, does that mean VDSL to the house (which is ok, that's pretty fast I hear), or that I have to pay a few grand to hook it up or something.
I have just had a look and around the outskirts of my town (Nanango ) we now have fixed wireless.
But the town itself is not included in this... There is not time shown for anything else to commence for the town.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for find out when something NBN wise is going to happen in the actual town??
With some internet providers in Margaret River only able to confirm a dial up speed connections (56 kilobytes per second) on plans, NBN will be game changing.
While speeds of 100 megabits per second speed might not be possible in all areas of Margaret River, a NBN Co spokesperson was confident they can deliver a minimum of 25 megabits per second to even remote households.
�The very minimum we hope to deliver is 25 megabits per second and hoping for 50.�
Glad the NBN is finally coming here :)
Currently on a 24mbps adsl2+ connection but only get around 15mbps so yeah it be interesting to see how much faster fibre to the node will be.
think I got my hopes up for 2015, says build 2015 completion
December 2016 bummer
I'm looking at purchasing land at a new development, Watermark / Ashbury / Charlemont Rise in Geelong however there is nothing on rollout maps / plans and I can't find any information on it.
Do all new estates get FTTP? There is zero copper already installed. Not interested in FTTN especially when it costs a fortune to get fiber run from the Node to the house
I currently rent in mount druitt 2770. the ADSL speeds are pathetic, but the rents are cheap. I work as a freelance developer so I am in a limbo as the maps dont show my area in 18 months plan too, should I relocate for a better service? maybe to blacktown 2148?
Hi all, im not sure if anyone will know the answer to this but i am wondering if anybody knows when the NBN is likely to come to Gulmarrad in NSW? (small place near Maclean) and whether it will be wireless or a cable?
I phoned Telstra bigpond about it a few months ago and was told that my area was only receiving wireless coverage but have been told by a local telstra representative that we are getting fixed line in Gulmarrad, so incorrect information if being given out by someone.
I am currently on school holidays so have more time to investigate and I noticed that the telstra store in Yamba (nearby town) was advertising that you could go in store and sign up for the NBN, so i rushed in to enquire about it but the lady told me it wasnt coming to Gulmarrad anytime soon and she had no idea when it would be and simply told me to come back again when i see them installing it (as if I am supposed to know what work the telstra crews are doing when i see them alongside the road).
I phoned Telstra bigpond again today to try and find a better answer and the guy told me again that Gulmarrad is only wireless, so i phoned the number for new connections and they told me my address was unavailble for wireless because my street is mapped for fixed line!
At this point i have no idea what to believe, different telstra people give me different stories...
i'm hopeful someone here may be able to help with accurate info, but Gulmarrad is pretty much in the middle of nowhere so probably not but its worth a try.
Thanks for reading this far if you managed it xD

Finally, an actual benefit to living in Tony Abbotts electorate instead of just unrelenting shame. North Manly among the first to receive FTTN. Coincidence? Probably not.
http://www.zdnet.com/article
But how come no information about what areas of North Manly specifically available from the NBN site or rollout map? I need to know if I will be so lucky....
It's there crap FTTN rollout plan, not interested.
Do it right or don't do it at all!!
What's wrong with FTTN of VDSL can do a great job at shirt distances... Like 80mbit or something...
Because not everybody will be less then 100m from the node
I thought that was the whole point, to have nodes all over the shop... So things like VDSL would then kick in, and maybe FTTH down the track, with immediate benefits.
I thought that was the whole point, to have nodes all over the shop
If they do that, their costs vs a proper FTTP rollout will be even worse than they currently are.
Not following... So nodes will be like say 2kms furthest cable distance or closer?
I thought VDSL would still cut it... And won't they just gradually replace it with fibre or allow someone to pay to have fibre installed.
In order to provide the necessary speed, you need to shorten the cable length, thus more nodes. These nodes need to be powered too.
So what sort of speeds are we realistically seeing with FTTN? Short enough for VDSL?
Looking it up on Wikipedia, it suggests speeds of up to 500Mbit/s symetric at 500m, with FTTN typically around 300m.
So I don't see what all the hoo ha was about around FTTN vs FTTH. Exponentially cheaper, faster to roll out and still pretty darn fast, and a step to ultimate FTTH or whatever..
So I'm fine with getting FTTN with VDSL2, seems pretty amazing to me.
However, Belconnen and generally Canberra (being a safe labor seat) is no where on the map beyond some priority areas.
Would be nice to find out...
So what sort of speeds are we realistically seeing with FTTN? Short enough for VDSL?
Have a look at the speeds here: http://fttn.mynbn.info/
Median speeds of only around 40Mbit/s... I thought VDSL2 was much faster but line lengths also still seem to be quite high...
I thought FTTN was supposed to get line lengths below 300m...
I thought FTTN was supposed to get line lengths below 300m...
More like 1200m sadly.
Have a look at the speeds here: http://fttn.mynbn.info/
I know that nodes are placed near pillars and the pillar that I'm connected to is 150m away. I could be getting around 55-65Mbps maybe more depending on the placement of the node. Woo
I could be getting around 55-65Mbps maybe more depending on the placement of the node. Woo
No you could be getting full 100Mbs and Gbit shortly after if the Liberals didn't come out with there bullshit rollout.
No you could be getting full 100Mbs and Gbit shortly after if the Liberals didn't come out with there bullshit rollout.
True. If Labor stayed in I would have probably already have FTTP now.
lol.. It's so frustrating that I can throw a rock into an area that has NBN from my house, but since we don't have overhead cabling in our suburb (all underground I think) man will land on Jupiter before I get NBN.. You pay dearly when you live in a strong Labor area and the Liberals are in power :/
run the cable underground and create your own speed bump to conceal the cable across the road (;

... I'm guessing MTM means FTTN? Is there any hope of FTTH for this area? :(
... I'm guessing MTM means FTTN? Is there any hope of FTTH for this area? :(
There is some hope but hardly any, you're probably getting FTTN. NBN only rollouts FTTP if it's economically viable.
so how has FTTN been working out in reality, compared to FTTH?
Which is 100% of the time.
Based on what...
Anyway... so is there any way to find out when NBN may be coming to the Belconnen area in the ACT. The websites don't tell you anything but 'sorry no information, check back in a few years and see if anything has changed'..
What's the overall rollout schedule across Australia? Next ten years or something?
Which is 100% of the time.
Well if it's economically viable in Malcolm Turnbull's mind
Based on what...
Based on the fact it will be cheaper in the long term to go straight to FTTP now with no stepping stones.
I live in a group of 4 houses and everyone in the street has had the NBN since April. I checked and it says that I require a bespoke connection. Does anyone know how long this normally takes? It says I'm getting FTTP so I'm guessing some more work needs doing.
Claremont TAS. We have the external NBN box. When will my address be added to "the portal" so that my ISP can provision it.
just checked on that first link and says nbn is comming to my address !
on the old site it says Ready for Service*
Q4 2016
what ever that means
Anyone heard anything about when Morphett Vale (Onkaparinga), In SA. might be connected? I'm not seeing anything for that location on any of the NBN roll out maps /cry
Detailed forecasts and plans are a complete mystery aren't they..
Anyone heard anything about when Morphett Vale (Onkaparinga), In SA. might be connected? I'm not seeing anything for that location on any of the NBN roll out maps /cry
My exchange isnt even listed in any of their rollout maps/plans. Apparently it doesnt exist.
Yet all the towns around me are currently listed as construction started. Towns 10 mins in any direction are getting NBN, just my little town was apparently forgotten about.
I found an updated link to the map:
http://www.nbnco.com.au/
I do not understand how some specific streets have NBN available.
I do not understand how some specific streets have NBN available.
this puzzles me too, I get that some new developments have it installed but surely the exchange they connect to isnt active yet if the rest of the area around them is not even in the planning stage?
This suddenly became like the expense/allowances issue from the government. This shall not be discussed anymore. :D
what does Ready for Service*
Q4 2016 mean guys?
Apparently Belconnen is now on the map... But there is already some iiNet (TransACT) VDSL2 copper and I understand the NBN FTTN model is not as good � with nodes up to 500m away? I wonder what will happen to the existing TransACT VDSL network...
What speeds are people seeing in practice anyway?
I see in Miranda, NSW now 'build commenced' � Hope by mid 2016 ready...

I am connected to TPG and they have just closed a ticket (constant dropouts, lost packets and speeds <3Mbps) informing me that they cannot remediate as the copper is faulty. Speaking to the last Telstra engineer that came out to look at the TPG issue, I'm almost certain to face the same issue with other carriers (including Telstra). I just had a slightly pointless whinge at nbn mostly because because I'm now unlikely to obtain a working Internet connection at my home. Not that I blame nbn entirely as I know that Lib/Nats, ACCC and Telstra all threw hospital passes their way. I'm just frustrated at the terrible copper infrastructure and the snail's pace rollout speed of the nbn:
Hi nbn,
I am approximately 3.5Kms from the CONC exchange. My current TPG ADSL service is of such poor quality (constant dropouts, speed <3Mbps) that I have been released from my contract and told that I should seek another provider. I require a stable connection for both work and study. The issues cannot be remediated as the copper network is of such degraded quality that it is unfeasible to repair with nbn pending. I am also not alone as my neighbours are facing the same situation.
According to the rollout map, greenfields sites in my suburb have been connected or are being rolled out now. Surrounding suburbs (e.g. Lidcombe, Strathfield, Homebush) also contain nbn serviced areas that are not greenfield and are closer to an exchange than we are. These suburbs also have lower population densities than Breakfast Point.
Could you please advise what rationale or criteria is used to determine priorities given to rollout areas (excluding the fast-tracking of greenfields sites)? Why have areas that do not have an immediate need for nbn (i.e. they already have serviceable DSL) been selected for rollout ahead of areas with obvious issues? I find it difficult to accept that I am unable to obtain a working internet service at my home, especially given that remediation of the copper network is not going to occur due to the nbn rollout.
Thank you in advance.
I'm amazed by the inacurate reporting of the NBN on the company web pages.
My address is currently listed as "The rollout of the nbn� network has not started yet in this location."
Yet, there are technicians in the basement of my building who have already built the NBN FttB rack, and the power is going in this week.
The contractors are being managed by Telstra using guys from a company called Casatel, with some other guy who was in the basement from Genesis Electrical.
Is the NBN website of any use? Or do they no longer bother to list "work in progress"...
One of the technicians suggested all being well the work should be finished the 1st week of November, which is when NBN will send letters to the residents apparently.
Luckily I'm on the strata committee, and the building manager has been keeping us briefed as to the various stages of the project. But the NBN site is pointless. IMHO.
I will be interested to see the reply to your email Maximus. Im in a similar position although I struggle to gets speeds over 1Mbps. Munster exchange in WA has been in need of major upgardes for years but due to the NBN blackhole nothing has been done. I have just moved in and am paying the same price with Telstra I had for a decent connection (3Mbps+) before moving. NBN not sheduled for construction here til late 2016! I sent an email asking for clarification on how they decide on the rollout and was given a generic response that was pretty condesending to be honest and didnt answer any of the questions I asked. I was even told "we cannot rollout NBN to every area concurrently". Yes because that was what I asked! I just want to know why an area like mine isnt much further up the list. As yet no response to this question.
Forgot to mention. When I moved in there was no mains cable on my street. Telstra had to lay copper from the nearest connection! Why would this happen! This is a greenfields estate and still no NBN!
At least you guys can get that, im lucky to get dodo (the only provider who will bother to try) to give me 1500/256 adsl1 and even then its choppy as hell...and there is NBN wireless (according to their sitemap) within 50 metres of my house and they wont connect anyone in the area...its beyond ridiculous that one of the biggest residential areas in my town has next to no connectivity and they completely skip it over in local plans
Hi guys general question is this a fttn base cabnit coming to my area flagstaff hill looks like it is http://postimg.org/image/qt6mumx1r/
Nope. Just a standard cable pit. I believe the FTTN cabinets are Dark Green and somewhat large.
We had all new conduit down our street last week and Ditch Witch trucks http://postimg.org/image/gx2kjubjv/
Ok hoping I'm posting in the right part of the Forums.
I recently received a brochure from Optus saying that the NBN was now in my area.
I did a web chat with an Optus rep to find out a bit more and found out that our NBN here would be via Satelite not cable , via wireless through my ADSL2+/cable meaning I would still need to retain a landline One of the reasons why I would consider NBN was to tell Telstra to shove their phone line lol)
Now excuse my lack of knowledge but because this is a Monsoon tropical area with frequent cloud cover ( and Austar looses reception) would that not mean that NBN via Satelite is prone to loose coverage with cloud and rain as well ?
She said it doesn't because my connection would be via my broadband connection . But naturally she's going to say whatever she can to make me consider changing to Optus.
So I'm just wondering is there then any benefit from changing from my existing Internet provider ( Westnet ADSL2 Home plus) to Optus NBN ? ( other then it's limitless but we never exceed our limit anyway)
I'm a little distance from my nearest exchange but my internet connection is relatively fast now.
I'm confused ( easily done :-p ) it seems there's this wonderful new NBN way , but it's really much the same of what I have already or will it be better ?
I am sorry Helen, Satterlite may be good if set up correctly and like you say if cloud is bothering the signal then your connection is broken. This is why this thread is about Fiber as Fiber is very fast!!! and reliable connection. NBN Co looks in other ways of connection other than Fiber as it's not reliable.

Yay. HFC by 1H-2017. Except we're not serviced by HFC in Kedron. :(
Yay. HFC by 1H-2017. Except we're not serviced by HFC in Kedron. :(
My suburb's listed as HFC 1H-2018 � also not serviced by HFC.
Edit : well, consider me unobservant. Although the power is underground, turns out there are a few poles in the street apparently for pulling in some Optus cable. It was never an option to connect to it in the almost 4 years we've lived here � ADSL for internet & Satellite/Streaming for cable TV were the only items anyone would sell us. I guess they'll start adding connections again when the NBN happens here.
I was meant to get FTTP this year, now I might get HFC in 2018. Thanks Turnbull and the LNP ya bunch of legends.
legends
I know what you really typed lol!
For me it's H2-2018 for FTTN. I shouldn't complain too much as there was no date before today, and I'm in central QLD and already get 20Mbps DSL.
So Adelaide CBD went from no schedule, to 2017. Sigh, still a long way in comparison. Why is a CBD so neglected? So because our sync is higher than most other ADSL2+ connections we're of least priority? Backwater thinking strikes again :(
My suburb's listed as HFC 1H-2018 � also not serviced by HFC.
My suburb is listed with both HFC and FTTN. I can see the cable blackspots just walking around: it is mostly above ground power, phone and cable. I have even put a few of those addresses into Bigpond and sure enough where the cable stops, the cable stops! These are all stand-alone houses and I can't see any reason why the cable just stops. I mean, the vintage of the houses and poles appear to be the same.
I wonder if they will need to keep the phone cables just for these couple of houses dotted around or will they extend the HFC to them so the copper pairs can be removed from the poles in most of the places?
(FTR I'm in a Telstra HFC area but I don't have it connected)
Would anyone know what's happening in Hastings Mornington Peninsula?
How do i know when kardinya western australia will get it and does it make much difference?

Glad i'm getting HFC compared to FTTN. I'm about 4.5km away from the exchange.
Glad i'm getting HFC compared to FTTN. I'm about 4.5km away from the exchange.
Which is what the nodes are for. To bring the 'exchange' closer to everyone.
With my area being added to the new construction plan for FTTN, what sync speeds should I expect to see? Or will it remain at the current ADSL2+ speeds i get? I would love G.Fast but without constant nodes they won't happen
Looks like I'll be paying more attention to the NBN now since my area of Fawkner is going to get the NBN starting in H2-2016 (Q3/Q4).
It's HFC, so, should I be bummed about this that it isn't FTTN/P? I am well out of the loop with regards to which topology is better, ideal, etc.
My folks have FTTN and have had a few outages due to the node being vandalised.

Hey beachbhoywa. Apologies it took me so long to update this, but I've been really busy over the past few weeks.
I actually received 2 replies. The first was a generic cut and paste job. It was obvious that the rep didn't actually read my email:
Thank you for your enquiry to nbn. The reference number for your enquiry is 511066-154838325.
Our rollout maps show that your address, 3 Magnolia Drive, Breakfast Point NSW 2137, is in an area defined by nbn as being Not Currently Available.
Not Currently Available means that building the nbn� network has not commenced in your area as yet.
Register with us via the rollout map and we'll be in touch when you're able to connect to the nbn� network.
If you require further information, please reply to this email directly or call us on 1800 OUR NBN (1800 687 626) and a consultant will be happy to assist you.
I replied to the email with:
Thank you for the response. I understand that Not Currently Available means that the nbn build has not commenced at my address. My query related to how areas are prioritised and why the rollout has been completed in areas that are not affected by degraded copper services while my neighbors and I are still unable to obtain a working ADSL service.
To which I received the following response:
The nbn roll out is roll out with the most time and cost effective process. The current nbn roll out area's are chosen based on where the the transit cables and existing infrastructure lay.
If you require further information, please reply to this email or call us on 1800 OUR NBN (1800 687 626) and a consultant will be happy to assist you.
So basically, my area is currently in the too hard basket. If Telstra cannot deliver a working ADSL service (I'll find out by Tuesday 20/10/2015) then I've got buckleys of getting anything to happen with nbn. I was told by a Telstra engineer that the only way that we may (i.e. snowball's chance in hell) get nbn to agree to a rollout is to start gather signatures on a petition explaining the issue and submit to the TIO. As almost everyone in my suburb is in the same boat (apartments, 3Km+ from the exchange, ancient copper etc.), it shouldn't be too much of a chore to get pen to paper. I'm not holding my breath though.
can anybody tell me what this means

does this mean they may finally be planning my area 2HLS (Holsworthy)

You're getting Fibre To The Node (little boxes on street corners that homes connect to to get onto the NBN)

Planning to start building in the second half of 2017 (Q3/Q4)
RFS

RFS = Ready For Service in the first Half of 2018 (Q1/Q2)
OK, so another update. Telstra have told me that the cable to the building I am in is faulty. I'm not the only one with issues apparently. There is also no planned remediation date. So I am (at least temporarily) out of options.
The engineer did indicate that my local Community Association was arranging a meeting in the next few weeks to facilitate an improvement to the nbn ETA.
My area is expected to commence H1-2016 (HFC). Is this good or bad? Also how long does it usually take once construction commences?
Got an installation notice letter in the mail! Telling me my installation will be between 11th November and......5 April 2016.....think you could narrow that down, NBN?
With FTTN, is the node the current exchange? or will they be similar to RIMs?
With FTTN, is the node the current exchange? or will they be similar to RIMs?
Similar to RIMs.
will they be similar to RIMs?
It would be more like a community Router more than anything. RIM's are more for the Telephone Connections than ADSL. The same for those who are behind a PABX where the phone has a Extension Numbers as a simulation 9583XXXX Ext093. Have one of these then sorry no ADSL.
As for Fiber, Then you have a pure Digital System!!! So FTTN woulden't be too bad.
But what i meant to ask (i just poorly worded it), is are these nodes going to be the current exchanges, or will these nodes be new and placed around streets>
are these nodes going to be the current exchanges
Most exchanges are the current POIs. Nodes "should" be <500m away (although that's in an ideal world).
I live in Port Stephens NSW and NBN is beginning rollout here apparently in December this year.
Now I have checked the rollout maps from NBNco and MyNBN and minimal information is available.
The local newspaper quoted figures last week for our areas giving times of deployment (well as you know they are more ALLEGED times of deployment)and also numbers of premises both for FTTN and FW
My hopefully simple question is how do I find out which group I will be in FW or FTTN?
We have had a lot of issues in the past with earth leakage and inductive resonance, so anything will be an improvement tho..
does this mean that if an address is not on this plan at present then it will be more than 3 years before the service is delivered?
Generally speaking, yes.
Given that the three-year rollout plan has been released, does this mean that if an address is not on this plan at present then it will be more than 3 years before the service is delivered?
It will be more than three years until services are available for many on the list, let alone those not on it.
It is a commencement date and not a completion date, so many of those with dates in the last year will not be complete at the end of the three years.

VIC Endeavour Hills Endeavour Hills 7600 HFC H1-2016
Since Endeavour Hills is around 25K homes, I randomly selected addresses in the mynbn.info site over the 'area', all appeared as;
No rollout plan yet
The NBN will be coming to this location. However, the rollout schedule for this area has not (yet) been announced
Is there somewhere 'definitive' where one can actually pinpoint where these '7600' home are?
Is there somewhere 'definitive' where one can actually pinpoint where these '7600' home are?
No, because NBNco don't want to you know as you can't be trusted with that information.
Seriously, the NBNco CEO said effectively when asked about sharing better maps and information recently.
Still some days away before the next bit of kit is installed
UPDATE
the "next bit of kit" was installed 6 November, placed where it was most convenient for me � the installers asked where I wanted it and off they went. Done in a couple of hours. The blokes doing it wanted it to "look neat" � comforting attitude. They succeeded. Active the same afternoon. ( iiNet 50/20)
the NBN was running into the wrong hole on the router, which took 4 phone calls and about 30 mins each before that was recognised and since then, things have been flying.
Speed testing (from iiNet site) give consistent speed of 40+ down and 18 up, so I have no complaints � in fact it is GREAT!!
Next bit is porting the phone and the big T is apparently not playing nice.
*Sigh* FTTN in 2017 so we have to put up with the Damn Copper!!!
*Sigh* FTTN in 2017 so we have to put up with the Damn Copper!!!
Oh no. Not copper!
I would give my right arm if I could get any adsl whatsoever at all. I've tried again and again. "Sorry sir, line test says no."
So, give me copper. Give me tin. Give me a piece of string and a couple of baked bean cans. Anything at all, as long as it's not so-called "mobile" wireless with a 10gb cap. For that stellar amount of data, I pay $50 a month while most people in Australia get from 250gb up to unlimited for that amount and less. Could I get more? Sure. 50gb for $140 a month.
Since 10gb is all I can afford, I have to squeeze every mb out to run 4 pc's for my business (i.e. payroll, purchasing, banking etc), and any or all home use. Where do I live and work? Half an hour from the Newcastle CBD.
Is my internet slow? You bet. 1 mpbs � I wish. Try this...
Test Results from Oz Broadband Speed Test
----------------------------------
Test run on 18/11/2015 @ 04:42 PM
Mirror: Optus
Data: 322 KB
Test Time: 10.11 secs
Your line speed is 261 kbps (0.26 Mbps).
Your download speed is 33 KB/s (0.03 MB/s).
That's right. 0.26 mbps down and 0.03 up.
Forget Netflix. Hell, forget Youtube. I'm lucky if I can download Windows updates for all my terminals in any given month without going over the data limit. I can't even update my Navman.
Meanwhile, fibre (TTN, whatevs) is being installed all over Australia *as I type*, in order to provide better adsl to people who already get unlimited data for $30 a month. And the NBN website says <My Town> isn't even on the plan.
And so, to echo the title of this thread � "When will the NBN come to <My Town>?
Who knows? Who cares? In my case, nobody.
Suck it up, people.
Im with you Fox Hat, no fixed line....nothing. Im forced to use Telstra mobile broadband 25GB @$150 per month.......and Im supposed to be running a business on this.
NBN started work in our area just before the Liberal Gov got in.........and stopped abruptly before it got anywhere near my residence. I complained to my local member and she blamed the Labor Gov.......
Anyway NBN co have laid cables in my street but im not sure what else is being done, they turn up...do a days work and dissapear again.
What I would like to know, if anyone can answer the question....is........ how long does it take from when the build commences to when we can actually access the network
Im forced to use Telstra mobile broadband 25GB @$150 per month
The Government sings a big song about the need for equal access broadband and therefore the NBN, but apparently that need isn't so dire as to warrant any interim measures at all while people are disadvantaged in the meantime, especially business owners. The fact that some businesses pay *at least* 5 times more than others is perfectly acceptable.
The Government must therefore think the number of people in our situation is very small. That being the case, they shouldn't be at all worried about the idea of subsidising internet costs for everyone who has an ABN and no adsl access.
Yeah right. No ROI obviously.
Right now though, I can't justify the inflated monthly charge. I max out the 10gb, and get very little usage for anything that's not business related. I guess that's more of a loss for service and content providers than it is for me.
how long does it take from when the build commences to when we can actually access the network
I haven't read any of this thread so far, so I'm not sure how many people might have already said this. However here goes � I advocate hassling NBNco.
Call them on their 1800 number. It's there to provide information (or obfuscation) when there's diddly squat on NBNco's "check your address" link.
On that note, I can say that today I had something of a breakthrough. It took me three or four email queries and two or three phone calls, but finally today I was told that my area is on the list for Satellite service. Yep. 30 minutes out of Newcastle.
Up until now, all I was told was that "The rollout of the nbn� network has not started yet in (your) location," and I could "Register with (NBNco) and we'll be in touch when you're able to connect to the nbn� network."
Previously, when I called to ask why cable was being installed before the Fixed Wireless network was completed (because I thought I'd be on FW of course), I was fobbed off with the standard buzzwords "strategic", and "consultation", and "existing infrastructure." (Translation.... "marginal seats first, safe seats last, dufus").
Given that the three-year rollout plan has been released, does this mean that if an address is not on this plan at present then it will be more than 3 years before the service is delivered?
That might depend on where you live. (See above). My "suburb" isn't on the 3YP.
In my case, apparently, that means I'm in a satellite service zone, and satellite NBN is supposed to go live in mid 2016.
Hooray when I asked NBN what one of two areas are getting they said fixed wireless for Werribee south at 2017 and HFC for altona mid 2016. I really really hate wireless internet services for homes. Just because they will save a little money we are going suffer the most disconnections, just great. 2 Suburbs right next to us getting fibre and we get the crappiest alternative to it. It's almost tempting to just stay on the outdated copper
How are they deciding which blocks get the NBN and which don't?
I'm moving into an apartment that just finished construction a few weeks ago. No signs of NBN in the works at all. Another apartment less than 100m away started construction at the same time and the NBN rollout is completed. What gives?

If Telstra cannot deliver a working ADSL service (I'll find out by Tuesday 20/10/2015) then I've got buckleys of getting anything to happen with nbn.

I'm not holding my breath though.
OK, so an update with a happy ending. While I didn't get anywhere with nbn, my wife saw an ad in the window of our estate manager's office a week or so ago advising that Telstra cable was available in our area. They'd even setup a temporary Telstra shop (open on Saturdays) to deal with inquiries. I went in on Saturday and was told the building I live in had been provisioned (via HFC) so I signed up straight away. It might be overkill but I went for the 100/40 800gb connection. The rep told me that they had a Tuesday morning appointment available (today). I was skeptical, as I'm used to disappointment, but I now have working high-speed connection. My wife just did the speed test (as I'm at work) and we were getting 96Mbps dl. I can swap out to nbn now when it arrives in 2017 without worrying about my current connection.
...we are going suffer the most disconnections, just great
Why do you say that?
Just curious. ATM I can only get so-called "mobile" wireless for my home and business, and as you can see by my earlier post the service I get is terrible. But (with my present modem) it literally never drops out.
Is there some information about routine connection problems with FW? Why will you get disconnections?
Satellite on the other hand... I hear there are problems if it gets too cloudy. Apparently that's what I can look forward to.

IME � hassle NBNco. They have a commitment to answering queries within a set time frame if you email them via https://www2.nbnco.com.au/cor
NBNco's actual email replies are (IME) cut-and-paste responses with vague language and no real answers, in order to keep themselves off any hooks.
You'll get an enquiry number by email before you get an actual email reply. Call 1800 OUR NBN (1800 687 626) and quote the enquiry number, and speak to a human being. You never know, you might just catch them in a moment of weakness. ;-)

Ours is wired and already has issues and any devices connected wirelessly to our own modem router doesn't exactly have a great connection either even with a full Wi-Fi signal. Considering our area is quite big I understand why they want wireless over the area instead of installing fibre but I really don't like using wireless for internet. We already have disconnections where we are forced to reset our router several times a fornight or so
We already have disconnections where we are forced to reset our router several times a fornight or so
I used to get drop-outs like that, on an almost daily basis. Then I got a better modem with a much better antenna, and I've had absolutely no disconnections at all since the day I plugged it in .
I don't want to sound like an ad for the NBN � (god knows they're not doing me any favours) � but from what I've seen the FW system will be much more reliable than much of the old cable network.
I get no drop-outs at all with a 3g service from a tower almost 4km away, so FWIW I think your problems with wi-fi aren't a real indication of the inherent reliability (or lack thereof) of wireless internet transmission technology in general. I have to admit though, I prefer a good ethernet connection around my home office and over to my main building. But I think wi-fi and wireless internet are two different beasts.
But then again, as they also say on the internets � YMMV. I hope I don't come off as argumentative � my aim is to reassure you a bit, based on my own experience.
At least now after all this time we got a rough commencement date for Casino NSW (H2, 2017), bad news is that a lot of people in this town are still stuck with nothing, or in my case choppy adsl1 because the line is that damn bad and telstra wont do anything.
a lot of people in this town are still stuck with nothing
Au contraire Trent, says the Government.
How can you say people are stuck with no internet**, when there's a plethora of mobile dongle peddlers who charge such reasonable** and affordable** rates as $140 per month, for 50gb of lightning fast** 3G "mobile" broadband?
**sarcasm
Haha very true....they also think the median wage is above $60000 per person...

If you say so, if we do ever move to it and give it a shot I hope it'll be on a non-contract. At least to test the waters first before moving to a contract. I wouldn't mind paying a little extra for a couple of months. I have no doubt the speed would probably be greater, I'm more worried about disconnections. I really like TP-link routers, even though Telstra recommend their max gateways I noticed no speed improvement over them and prefer to use other modem/routers
nbn crew rolling out the pipes out the front of my place today !!
Bomaderry (nowra) NSW still says june 16 for connection though
Looks like flagstaff hill SA will be going into pre preparation soon their were 2 telstra vans spotted on blacks road and a ditch with truck doing work their and new conduit lots of new pits going in what exactly is involved with pre preparation work
It will be more than three years until services are available for many on the list, let alone those not on it.
It is a commencement date and not a completion date, so many of those with dates in the last year will not be complete at the end of the three years.
Yes my address in Sydney's Inner West keeps getting the null results. However I did find the list of the three year plan just the other day. Depending on how my suburb is read. People mistake my address for neighbouring suburbs. For starting installation. Earliest in late 2017, which if the areas go by exchanges that is for the homes on the northern side of my suburb. Going by my exchange I won't see any start until the later part of 2018.
It will be HFC which although it seems a bugger to wait so long. Hopefully all the NBN installation and operation issues will be resolved by then. Considering there is Telstra HFC connection equipment at my place that the roll-out won't take a long time. Don't know what extra equipment has to be placed inside my place. Mind you I would probably be living somewhere else by that stage and possibly not in Sydney.

What if i already have cable and very happy with it?
I get speeds up to 12 megabytes a second as it is.....
What if i already have cable and very happy with it?
Then probably nothing much will change for you unless you want it to. The NBN version will use the same cable and leadins where possible but will upgrade the electronics in parts of the network. Upload speed will likely increase substantially but download speeds might be a touch slower on some plans. The main advantage is that there will be competition between many retail service providers for your business. But, for example if Telstra is your current ISP and you are happy with them, then you could continue with them on a new plan.
The advantage for the district is that houses and sometimes whole streets which might have missed out on cable during the initial rollout (very common in some areas) will now be connected as well.
so how long from the time the cable fibre is put down to the time you can
get connected ? I know it says on the my nbn site that its due for june 2016
but any chance it might be sooner ??
Thankyou Dirichlet for the info!

As far as I can tell, the old cable network is being switched off and you'll have no choice.
Check out FAQ's on https://nbn.custhelp.com/
Question 3 is "Do I need to switch to the nbn� network?",
"...existing phone lines, ADSL internet, Telstra/Optus cable internet, and some Telstra Velocity fibre services will be disconnected and replaced by the nbn�*"
There's a link to "find out what services will be switched off."
One of my friends houses is quite close to the fixed wireless connection limits. From (anyones) experience, do nbn co allow a pole to be erected to facilitate a connection? Or, failing that, the antenna to be mounted away from the house (large property)?
As far as I can tell, the old cable network is being switched off and you'll have no choice.
That's no longer the case.
You will have no choice as the old cable network will be used for the NBN.
That's no longer the case.
You will have no choice as the old cable network will be used for the NBN.
So basically my cable internet with telstra already will have no interruptions???
You will have no choice as the old cable network will be used for the NBN.
Also the same for Copper Twisted Pair as it's deemed "Workable"
So we can say that the NBN is not just about Fiber.

When your contract runs out you will have a choice of changing providers and still keep using the cable. That was one of the pros of the NBN. Seems at the moment if you live in a cable area it's either Optus or Telstra. I could get Telstra cable now but for the price I pay with a optus for unlimited ADSL Internet, entertainment package and line rental. The other company offers about 200 GBs cap.
The same would apply to those staying on bits of copper. If they live on areas pretty much ruled my one telecommunications company than they should have a choice of changing with NBN.
That's not to say that some providers may not do certain areas and may bring up the crowding argument. I looked the other day and my provider is very short on space at my exchange for ADSL services. Interesting to see what happens when the area goes NBN in a few years time.
just got a letter saying that my nbn box will be connected between 15th january and 8th june
I'm in bomaderry
A few months back Adelaide Now had an article saying what was coming in Q1 2016.
I still can't find any official notification of this article: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au
My area is scheduled for Q1 2016 � so hoping it is actually coming.
Any pointers anyone?
TIA.
At the rate they are rolling things out we'll all be in the ground before they finish (Those of us in the inner suburbs anyway). Our kids and grandkids might be lucky though assuming we outlast climate change.
Torrensville SA 1st quarter 2017 as i have cable 30mbps i am guessing i may end up with similar to my old Adsl 2 speeds of 13mbps which had deteriorated from 18mbps over time
Maybe that time frame from Advertiser is wrong

I saw some telstra cars lined up on the road off my street and I thought for sure it's people working on nbn installation but the website saying it's not started yet in my area...
Bummer :/

Well, don't know why there would be more than one van if they weren't doing something big like working for the immediate area.
Well, don't know why there would be more than one van if they weren't doing something big like working for the immediate area.
There's many reasons Telstra may have multiple vans rock up to do work. Could be a major fault, could be remediation work, upgrades, NBN or they finished their jobs for the day and want to catch up with their mates.
I've seen three Telstra vans parked in a cul-de-sac once and they were all sitting around one van in the shade playing cards. So while I wish for your sake they are there doing NBN-related work, but it could also be nothing special.
Also, there's a summary of WA suburbs and dates from the detailed 3-year plan here http://www.htgsd.com/informat
You can search for your Suburb name and get a rough idea of when your suburb may be starting work. I'd add 6 months on to be safe as it's unlikely to run to schedule or be available immediately after the work is done.
just wondering, how long does it take to go on the nbn from the time they put fttp in the street to the time they put the box on your house to the time you can connect?
I live in a town of about 17000 or so called Horsham and the NBN seems to have come straight to us and then taken a whiff and dispersed to every town, village, house, shack and bird nest in its surrounding area and left us with adsl 2 (which performs very poorly � an example.. a windows 10 update, not the install took over 2 days to download and this is within 3km from the post office exchange via Optus.)
Does anyone have any idea why the NBN went to all the surrounding rural areas and not to what I would consider the central hub to the Wimmera? Ballarat got it, Arrarat got it, the homeless man wheeling his trolley on the road even got it, It just doesn't make any sense to me what so ever.
If someone has any information or insight I would be very interested to find out.
Much Appreciated.
Tim
Fixed wireless is deployed to service the surrounding areas of a town itself. The actual town itself will be serviced with a fixed line technology, at the present time this technology would most likely be FTTN. This happens all around the country, not just specific areas. So, you're not getting "ditched" or any other term you'd like to use.
Horsham is set to start construction on the FIXED LINE build in the Q1 of 2017.
Hope it helps and clears things up.
mine says Brownfields FTTP
Hi all,
On the NBN co map for my address it says build started 11 Jan 2016. I've gone for a ride on the pushie but can't find any work at all.
I'm n Wangaratta, does anyone have any info for Wang? I have been on NBN co, my NBN and life hacker site but can't seem to find any "concrete" info on when we will have then NBN .
Cheers
Ous nbn should be going into Pre Preparation Mode soon we are due for Construction in Q4 this year
SA Flagstaff Hill 9000 FTTN Q4-2016
NBN Co workers were installing green fiber in Deer Park Monday 18/1/2016 & Tuesday. On Monday morning they were installing at the cnr of Ballarat Road and Station road, on Tuesday the NBN Co truck was installing fiber near Robinson road Burnside. It was good to see some NBN rollout activity near my suburb.
That's good news i hope they do the same here in St.Albans, been living here for a few years now and im still using mobile broadband. I have tried a lot of ADSL providers and all of them can't provide me a connection as they are all saying im too far from the exchange. And cable is also not an option in my street so im stuck with a pocket wifi and its costing a lot of $$$ and not enough data :(
I feel sorry for you mate. I was on 15 gig 4G for 99 bucks a month and recently switched to Telstra Cable, 200 gigs for 90 bucks a month and much faster than 4G.
NBN Co trucks currently installing green fiber on the cnr of Ballarat road and Caroline Springs Blvd Caroline Springs, in front on Western Honda. Hope they turn right and continue rolling out green fiber to Caroline Springs!
Meanwhile... as we fall further and further behind... http://www.chicagotribune.com
Why has the Adelaide CBD WAYMOUTH (WAYM) exchange been forgotten?!
Would love to know when the NBN is coming to the Waymouth (WAYM) Adelaide CBD exchange... according to http://www.nbnco.com.au/conte
NBN Co workers
Is there a way to identify NBN workers that are working in your area?
Some trucks had NBN Co signage on them as well as other companies on the other trucks.
Whats the difference between Build commenced and Ready for service?
Whats the difference between Build commenced and Ready for service?
One means they have started building, the other means it's ready for customers to actually start using it.
Until RFS you can't sign up.

I've seen some dates in my area where RFS is 2016 but Build is 2018. How can something be ready for service before it's even started building?
I've seen some dates in my area where RFS is 2016 but Build is 2018. How can something be ready for service before it's even started building?
I'm wondering if perhaps it's different access technologies. So for example if it's in an area on HFC that is being transferred over to NBN, then those houses might be RFS while those around them, including possible multi-dwelling units, might have to wait for a build out of FTTN or something.
If anyone here is interested, 2COR-08 is now RFS.
Would anyone be willing to explain this to me
My suburb (Yangebup) is listed as part of the rollout in Jandakot with construction in this region slated to begin the first half of this year. There a whole bunch of suburbs listed as Indicatve Localities (Fixed Line FTTX Footprint) and the other as Indicative Localities (Fixed Line HFC Footprint)
Could someone explain why the majority of suburbs are listed in the FTTX listing and why only a few in the HFC grouping. Does this mean I wont be getting either FTTP or FTTN in my suburb. If I am not getting either of these then what is HFC and how good is it compared to FTTP or FTTN.
Thanks for any help.
This is also a nice tool, especially the Map aspect. Click on a tower or a site etc: http://www.mynbn.info/map
So from http://www.mynbn.info/map I see that a tower is meant to come close to where I live (Tantanoola). Does anyone know where I can get build status for it ?
NBN Co Site Lot 95 Tantanoola Road TANTANOOLA
This NBN Fixed Wireless tower is located on ACMA Site 9019183
Saw that my area in the 3 year list and saw that it had it is getting HFC.
Below that is the same area and it has FTTN, it has a one year difference of H1-2017 and H1-2018.
Service area 3FTO
Any ideas?
Parts will be getting HFC and parts will get FTTN?
Well i already get cable (HFC) so i don't think that i will get the NBN????
You will get upgraded HFC as part of the rollout.
Well i already get cable (HFC) so i don't think that i will get the NBN????
I'm in a different area, but have had HFC (Optus and telstra) for along time and have just had NBN activated FTTP, so you never know with these knucklehead politicians.
im still waiting for the guys to come fit the box thing
they said in a letter any time between 22nd januarry to the 1st june
but on the mynbn map thing it still says 29th june?
so have no idea when this will happen
Adelaide CBD has two exchanges. Flinders has a rollout schedule, Waymouth has nothing. When will this change! So over waiting.
Hastings Victoria might get something in 2017? Wait 2018!!! Then again maybe not. :( *Sigh*
anyone know when NBN will roll out in Greenvale VIC ?
Hi Team, Have just purchased an undeveloped land lot (1 of 30) in an established suburb that is within the HFC footprint of Eastern Brisbane for a June 2017 completion. The land, currently a patch of scrub & tress, will be developed and is likely to settle in Aug 2016 (if that matters at all).
Just wondering whether this land pocket will auto-magically get any FTTx as a result of its newness (and those dates)? The streets surrounding this new development only seem to return a "Congrats you can get ADSL services" when I checked on Telstra/Internode so I'm wondering if those timelines add any constraints or remove some limitations to the planned HFC "upgrades" for the Suburb.
The selling agent has provided an unhelpful, "it'll be NBN-Ready" response to a simpler version of that question above. Not an issue for the completion of the transaction. Just curious, and hopeful.

No � unless the developer makes a deal with a company to roll out FTTP, you may end up with copper and ADSL.
https://delimiter.com.a
Interesting. I wonder then if my reading of the Telstra-New-Developments Policy (PDF), specifically the following from Chapter 3:
Telstra will generally decline to provide a quote on an application when the development
characteristics indicate NBN Co has the IPOLR obligation. However, in some situations,
Telstra will be open to discussing arrangements for the installation of infrastructure if the
developer has entered into an agreement with NBN Co but the delivery timing is delayed.
This may be our position. Presuming the NBN Co declaration of construction timelines (commencing H1 2017) for the suburb means it is the IPOLR, I think we'll fall into an unfortunate circumstance of timing. At least the copper will be new. :) Worst case � Temporary Wireless. :<
Presuming the NBN Co declaration of construction timelines (commencing H1 2017) for the suburb means it is the IPOLR
I could be wrong, but I don't think it does � AFAIK the IPOLR demarcation is whether there the development has 100 lots available within a certain time, irrespective of any brownfields rollout plans for the area.
My read of the paras in Section 3 of that PDF might be off. Worthwhile just checking though.
The policy sets out rules to delineate IPOLR responsibility between Telstra and NBN Co.
Telstra will be IPOLR supporting voice services:
- within the long term NBN Co fixed line footprint for new developments of less than 100 lots/premises where NBN Co has not established its network (i.e. declared its network �ready for service�) nor publicly identified the area as a rollout region.
In my case NBN Co has made that declaration (4TGP HFC deployment � PDF)
My read of the paras in Section 3 of that PDF might be off.
Looks like you're right and I'm wrong :-)
It'll certainly be interesting to see what will happen... given that they are talking themselves back from the idea of HFC in-fill, I think it's safe to say that nobody knows what they'll do (probably including nbn� themselves).
Happy now. They finally updated the NBN rollout map. NBN finally coming to my street and area. AVALON BEACH (2AVA) exchange.
Contractors have been given the go ahead to commence constriction of a FTN NBN rollout.
Yes I bet you are not happy!!! Just remember what NBN stands for National Broadband Network as there's no mention about Fiber that we all want!!!
So I would like to rename this National Fiber Network NFN but it's not to be. ;(
So with the NBN still having no construction date for the Adelaide CBD's Waymouth exchange...
http://indaily.com.au/news/2
10 gigabit a second optical fibre!!!
If this goes ahead, i'm going to vote in council for elections for the first time and Haese will get my vote!
Such excitement!
Just speculation but the CIty of Melbourne is destroying (renewing?) the pathway on Stanley Street (block after Spencer St, West Melbourne) and yesterday Linktech was there with a van and passing some cables. Hopefully, fibre will be available soon.
I can't find my suburb on the 3 year construction plan? I see all the suburbs close by however.
Is this blue cable NBN?

Sorry about the link to a tweet � could t post a pic on my phone.
Any news on New Lambton, NSW 2305? Construction slated to start Q2 � 2016 according to 3 Year Rollout Plan, and according to My NBN Finder has been under "Preparation" since December 2015.
Have seen plenty of Telstra techs working on pits and replacing some lids over the last few months around where I live in New Lambton but nothing from NBN Co thus far.
Any news on 3156?? I did read on another website they say H2-2016 but when I search my address it says Not currently available is there any details on how long it takes once it changes into build preparation to it goes live?
I'm trying to find out as much info as possible as I'm looking at re contracting a cable connection but don't really want to until I can find out some solid info of when the NBN is hitting my area.
Hi guys,
a heap of work being done outside my house in the last week. Today i noticed there's a box in the ground that says 'nbn' out the front, however it doesn't say on the nbnco website that my address is in the build stage. Does this mean it is in the build stage for my area or?
Guys, what is the time-line once an area is listed as "build commenced" to when actual work on the ground starts? I live in a town of 33,000 with "build commenced" started on 8-March-2016 but so far there has been no works at all, apart for 1 or 2 sightings of guys doing measurements and ground markings (over 8 weeks a go). Over 2 months now and nothing, is this normal?
It takes about 12 to 18 months.
Hi all, long time reader, first time poster :)
Can anyone tell me when I might get nbn in Shenton Park, WA? According to the roll-out map there's nothing planned in the next 3 years, but then the 3-year construction plan from last September (i.e. 9 months ago) says HFC rollout starting in 2H2016... which should I believe?
Cheers

Im in a similar situation as you. I am also in WA with HFC currently being rolled out. There appears to be zero HFC information on the rollout maps thus why there is so little information regarding more concrete dates for the services to be offered and such. Im sure someone can correct me and give you a much more detailed answer though.
Well all I can do is Dream in Hastings VIctoria Mornington Peninsula.
No nbn coming soon to my area which is only a very good thing as I already get 100 mbits a second speeds on average in my area on cable, even during peak hours.
There is no way in hell I want to degrade my service thanks to the dodgy liberals NBN.
My suburb Beverly Hills NSW is "not started" on the NBN according to the nbnco website. I looked a few weeks ago on a list of future rollouts (within 3 years?) and was not on that either. However the neighbouring suburb has NBN � even if the map says no! (inlaws had theirs installed a few weeks ago).
What is the system for the order of suburbs on the rollout list?
any HFC rollouts atm?
according to nbn website build commences at my place first half 2016.... however nothing is showing on the rollout map... ccan anyone tell me whats going on as it is nearly end of the first half of 2016...
i am actually so pissed off at this nbn bullcrap because before libs were sworn in i could of gotten nbn at 2014. Liberals better lose the election this year
However the neighbouring suburb has NBN � even if the map says no!
What is the system for the order of suburbs on the rollout list?
It's more or less exchange area, with priority given to areas where new estates are getting fibre (or already have).
Plus there is a list of other requirements, like access to 3rd party fibre if needed. The FTTN and HFC additions have made a mess of things, so areas on the 3 year plan 3 years ago, are only just under construction.
It's just impossible to build the entire network in just a few years, yet people expect THEIR suburb to be done at the expense of someone else.

I am happy to wait my turn, but it would be good to see just how long the queue in front of me is!

Guess what, you are already on the NBN! It's just that nbn hasn't hasn't taken taken over that asset yet. Having a choice of ISP on cable will be an improvement.
nbn coming in Q4 this year for me ya ho finally it is coming to Flagstaff Hill SA.

Build~ Q4 2016

Should see something happening soon even just remediation work
I've been watching this thread with interest but haven't posted yet.
I'm in Vic (Castlemaine) and the 3 year roll out says "Expected time of first site to commence construction Q2-2016" (FTTN)
However there don't appear to be anything happening (NBN site reports 'No Rollout Plan Yet').
Does anyone know if the 3 year roll out timetable has fallen behind schedule?
Or is it normal that nothing visible happens in the early stages of an FTTN rollout?
I hope I get it in diamond creek as I'm on 3mbps adsl
I realise this question's almost certainly been asked either in this thread or one of the other threads, or anywhere on the internet but for some reason I can't find it in search so:
How long after nodes have finished being installed on a street will premises on the street be ready for service? Do they wait for the whole area to have their nodes constructed or do they connect premises as they're ready?
My street has nodes which haven't had anything done to them for a couple of weeks now, I'm assuming they're "ready" but I might be wrong. Will I be waiting the "up to 12 months" that the NBNco website is saying?
I understand the current roll-out plan has more 'What-ifs' than actual answers, but to add to this does anybody have an idea what may happen in the following situation:
My area is listed as;
VIC 3FTO � (Flemington) Ascot Vale, Flemington, Kensington, Moonee Ponds, Travancore 24100 HFC H1-2017
However I live in a small pocket of redevelopment in Ascot Vale (300+ residences) which does not have any HFC rolled out, and unlike the remainder of the suburb we have all underground services. The development was built in two halves (Change of developer halfway through) and the second half seems to have NBN FTTP, however the first half only had standard ADSL lines installed. Ascot Vale is not listed anywhere else in the document.
It seems our area has kind of fallen through the (fairly large) cracks of the current NBN, no HFC installed and with undergrounds services not likely to be, but not listed as FTTN in the roll-out plan.
Any ideas?
3WHL-62 is commencing HFC installation next Tuesday thru to November, although I would much prefer FTTP connection :(
How long after nodes have finished being installed on a street will premises on the street be ready for service?
I would like to know this too please anybody???
When the whole area is Ready for Service. The nodes aren't turned on one by one. The whole area is switched on at once, then you can sign up.
There is major night road works happening at Strathpine, QLD at the moment. Digging trenches across Gympie road and surrounding area's. Hard to sleep with all the night works going on. I'm assuming it's prep work for laying fibre.
When the whole area is Ready for Service
Thanks NetskyAU
I am in pooraka SA, GPC-05. Getting FttN in late September. Via a mate who works at NBN, have been advised I am approx 300m from the node. What speed can I roughly expect?
What speed can I roughly expect?
Generally full speeds 100Mbps
But it all comes down to your line and copper quality.

Probably not for a looooong time. Unless a miracle happens.
Labor winning this election should be this miracle and they rip out all the FTTN cabinets and take them to the local tip or launch them, via catapult, through Telstra's (The Devil) front doors.
Does the government make less money off this mixed mode rollout than if it had been the original rollout ?
Costs of power to nodes etc?
Shortly after the last election I think, I remember reading in a paper here saying that my area was no longer on the areas to even receive the NBN !
I arent convinced by anything I read. Our idiot local member for Forde QLD Bert Van Manen made a claim on his website recently that Upper Coomera QLD would have NBN started in 2016. It doesnt mention for established or new homes. 10 Houses down the road in a new type estate has NBN. One would wonder why they just didnt continue it 10 houses on. So I don't believe it when the idiot says "In 2016" Perhaps for new homes in new estates, yes.
Ready for Service is showing up on my rollout map, just waiting for the box thing out side the house.
Thinking about sticking with TPG, been happy with them most of the time on adsl ..
could go to internode, but not sure, wanting a good plan, for streaming to twitch tv and youtube, maybe some netflix,
so thinking 100/40 or something..
oh forgot to ask, most seem to have bundles, ie phone and nbn ,but im hoping just to use my mobile,..
Nbn just left my premises and said they will be back tomorrow to run the cable. I also recieved a letter last month informing me of the box installation. Although there is nothing at all for the whole suburb in the rollout map.
Notting Hill, Melbourne
Just an FYI.
thats whats happening here in Bomaderry NSW..
had the cable run thru my street, and also now waiting on the box,
but I did hear that there had been some delays due to the recent bad
weather , so its just a waiting game..
should I ring up my isp (tpg) now or just wait till the box arrives?
Whats the latest status for Tuggerah, anyone know.
Thanks
It seems like NBN is coming soon to The Chase Estate, I just saw a couple of trucks (one from Telstra) working on pipe digging on the corner of Oshea Rd and Kimbarra Dr.
Also, another Telstra van near to the pit on the corner of Bridgewater Blvd and Kerferd St which is the one that I am connected to.
Can anybody figure out where these premises would be located under the following roll out plans?
Lovely Banks: Approx. # Premises 220
https://www.finder.com.au
Lara: Approx. # Premises 700
https://www.finder.com.au
Avalon: Approx. # Premises 600
https://www.finder.com.au
Why so few premises? Where are they? I can't imagine they're for rural properties as the distances are too vast for copper.
Utility box was installed yesterday,
the guy said the next nbn crew will be out to do the inside modem?
wonder how long that will be now??
NBN Warrnambool.
Any residents on here, we have a thread started, ill link below, with all the information we need including dates and maps.
So what does the start of a NBN build look like if an area is getting HFC or FTTN or FTTP?
Lately around suburbs of Parafield Gardens and some streets in Salisbury(Adelaide) I've been seeing a few streets that have had some strange patterns of road works. They've been chomping up about 3-6 metre long segments of the gutters infront of every house in the street. Leaving other gutters untouched.
I've driven past a few utes working on these gutters but did'nt see any logo's on the side.
Past 2 weeks allot of activity along Casuarina Drive by Parafield gardens Junior primary school. Theres even a 2 metre long hole in the gutter infront of that side of the school aswell. Also seen activity on other backstreets up as far as Salisbury downs.
mynbn.info is down
When will the NBN come to my town (area)??
Now???
Never
It went from fiber to the house
to
Wireless (Tower was actually to be build on our property)
to
Not yet determined
to
"Great news....Satellite is now available"....LOL
We are in a small town that is 15 minutes from a Mid North Coast City
Half the area has wireless while the other half is in the Shadow of a mountain
1/2 a kilometer of the Pacific HWY and I can throw a stone onto the Mobile phone tower
And we will be offered Satellite
The NBN is truly dead now
Moving into this place on the 5th of August and I currently have cable. How realistic is this date?
Do I wait and see and order NBN or should I settle for an order for ADSL?
How long does it take to go from NBN Co 'service available' to your ISP actually providing it ?
Telstra says no NBN in my area, tpg just gives me an error and iinet also unavailable.
Is there anyway to find out when approximately nbn is starting in your area? Website is pretty useless..
I'm in Balaclava, Vic 3183.
mynbn.info for my town says:
nbnTM is expected to commence construction in some parts of this suburb within 3 years.
and then continues with

Last build expected Q2 2016
I'm confused. What does First and Last build mean?

Landline is dodgy
Bigpond Cable is on outside wall unused
Any clue if Windsor 4030 is on the rollout ?
Pretty sure they'll be using the cable (HFC) in your area Dave, & probably late 2016 early 2017
Has the 3 year rollout plan changed / slowed down heaps?
I haven't really been following it much but I know Noosa, Tewantin etc construction was meant to start Q1 next year was hoping that was still on schedule.
Has the 3 year rollout plan changed / slowed down heaps?
Some areas are from a month to several months behind schedule, I don't know if that's general across the rollout or not.
My area is running about 1 month behind what the 3 year rollout plan said (at this point) but that doesn't mean it won't slip further.
Oh well that's fun.
I checked the NBN tracker on finder.com.au and it just says "planned" for every location under the 4NOO service area, most look like they wont be ready until 2018 sometime anyway. Bet Noosa will be first and the rest of us will be left holding our d!@#s as usual.
Whell now that the Election is over, we go back to waiting again for our Fiber to the Home. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............
It appears that the people connecting wires and all that good stuff for DSL have tossed in the towel.
OK , Supposedly I am connect to a said Fast service DSL wise. would this be Fast?

Whoot! NBN ordered from Telstra (Locked in to a contract) on exactly the date the MyNBN.info said the build would be completed.
Will wait to see what happens from here.
anyone have an idea when deception bay 4508 will be getting nbn probably never like everyone else i suspect ,anything politicians {i could call them something else like parasites) have there hands on always goes to crap, they take shortcuts like fibre to the node to save money without taking into account the corroded copper network from the node to the homes,and then down the track have to replace the copper anyway costing more money in the end, real smart :-(

Is this the place to ask where to find out more information about status of an install?
My suburb got split into 2 sections, they were only doing up until the railway line and leaving the second half untouched. And it sat there with no plans.
Recently I jumped in to see what was happening and it's jumped from nothing to construction commenced.
Does Construction Commenced mean they're doing groundwork or could it simply mean they're updating exchanges in preparation for actual groundwork? Because as far as I'm seeing there's been 0 cabling/node construction etc in the suburb since it was announced maybe a month ago.
Telstra said 5-8 weeks from Construction Commenced until installed but I don't think the rep knew what they were talking about. As the other half of the suburb has been constructed for a couple of months now and still no planned connection until September.
Park Avenue, QLD, 4701 is the suburb in question.
Thanks
Chris, I believe you're part of the Rockhampton Service Area, which encompasses Park Avenue..though there's 2 Park Avenues, you'll have to clarify which one you belong too.

Regarding actually work on the ground. My area in Vic was listed a "build commenced" in March but work only started in July, but in between that time generally they're surveying the sites, updating locations, roping pits and pipes.
Seeing as you are in 4ROT-02 with an RFS of Aug 2016...I'm surprised there's been no work that you've seen. Unless of course there's another Park Avenue in QLD then the error is all mine.
Thanks GEPLAYER, I hadn't seen that website before, just been using NBNco maps and Telstra maps which I believe is the same details.
My actual rollout region is 4FRV-05 after looking at that. My mate that's also in Park Avenue but on the other side of the railway line is 4ROT-02, that's where I've seen the majority of construction.
My patience is getting thin with my current provider so I thought I'd step up my research for NBN.
Telstra said 5-8 weeks from Construction Commenced until installed but I don't think the rep knew what they were talking about
I believe for FTTN it's probably more like 5 � 8 months?
Not a problem at all. That site.is actually maintained by a fellow person on whirlpool..jxeeno.is his name. Okay so seeing you're in 4FRV-05 I think according Telstra Cease Sale, which occurs 2-3weeks after an area goes RFS, your area should be RFS by late Feb-2017 early March-2017. That's a bit of a wait but things can change, hopefully not later.
That site also has a map and you can register for updates etc. Also, once an area is RFS your individual home is assigned a node which has a physical number on it..ie: 4FRV-05-12-FNO-001...this website will have details and if you're lucky they'll be a node near you with a number that the website says you're connected too. Simply helps people understand what speeds they can expect etc.
Good luck.
GE.
Can anyone comment on when Upper Kedron in Brisbane (4055) will see some nbn action?
The last 3-year plan (about a year ago) said:

I'm at Ferny Hills and haven't heard anything from NBN. Some activity at the exchange lately but no idea if it's NBN related.
General question guys Flagstaff Hill 5CMD-20 is expected RFS on 22 July 2017 how many moths does fttn usually take for construction. We should be seeing work soon we are on the Rollout Schedule & Disconnection Dates � Excel version. And Cease sale report in 4 August 2017
Is there a "Will NBN ever come to my town?" thread? Still no plans for at least 3 more years for Bangor NSW.
Has the NBN rollout screeched to a halt?
Two years ago the NBN rollout map showed my area set with a future proposal date, then 6 months later it became "last rollout Dec 2018" and I just checked it today and now it just says "Not currently available"...
What the flap is going on? It's been 5 years now.
I am beyond mad about this now. I'm disparate; void of what is required to provoke response... This government and the NBN has spiralled me into a depression from which my choppy 3.8MBps maintains this steady sea of woe.
Yeah you cant afford to let Oz slip behind the rest of the world with its lockouts, shitty internet uploads and barely functional downloads, high ping and the business sector feeling fed up and resorting to print as it's faster than uploading to a backup server.
Oh and Romania is better than Oz in every way.
What a jokewater Oz is becoming
Construction was planned for Q3 2016 in my area � 4NRB-03 for FTTN. Over the last week there have been a couple of Ericsson vehicles parked next to the narangba water tower, with everything roped off.
Apparently Ericsson are one of the contractors providing fixed wireless and satellite. So this may sound like a silly question, but could the Ericsson people be doing anything in regards to the FTTN rollout in our area?
How can I tell where the nearest Node is in my area? I'm scheduled to get FTTN but i lnow that if you're closer to the node you can get faster speeds
Was going through my junk mail and found a flyer from nbnco. Apparently "work is expected to commence shortly".
Anyone else received these? Any ideas on how long "shortly" is?
I thought most of the construction has been phased back due to the MTM stuff. The flyer doesn't really explain much apart from what they might be doing in the near future and what to expect.
I know there's been a few displays around recently with some nbnco guys trying to spruik the wireless options which i know are available, but nothing about FTTN/P which this flyer seems to be detailing.
The nbnco website on the other hand says "The rollout of the nbn� network has not started in this area"

Does anyoneknow what is holding this up. I'm already on Optus cable service with speed pack getting 90~100 MBps during off-peak. But i'm really sweating on getting 100/40 plan through HFC (I guess that's better than FttN).
A search on NBN just says "The rollout of the nbn� network has not started in this area"

As per http://www.zdnet.com/article/
I don't think they're showing HFC on the rollout map.
I have always been checking it but the other day when an Optus tech was over, he assured me they have started working on it in my area (2HUH) and that I'll be getting it soon.
So basically, I think HFC customers are in the dark somewhat and just have to go off the 3 year roll out plan dates and patiently wait.
I don't think Gin Gin's tower is going to make the RFS date shown in Finder. 4BBE-51-15-GING still only has the bottom half of the tower up, and with a week to go there is no sign of the top half. I wonder where it is?
I feel like this will never come to Balwyn, VIC.
I hate being connected to this f*cking Box Hill exchange 3.5-4km away.
Just noticed there's guys doing some work a few streets away. Looks like they're putting some pipes in.
Wondering if that has anything to do with the flyer sent out the other week?
They've announced work has started in my area but its only listed as "Fixed line"
Safe to assume this is just FttN right?
Wondering if that has anything to do with the flyer sent out the other week?
Seems like it is!! Drove past again today and saw an NBNCo sign on one of the fences.
How exciting! I wonder how long till they get to my street?
How can I tell where the nearest Node is in my area?
There isn't really any way for us plebs to tell until after your area is 'Ready For Service' and they've placed the nodes.
Even at the 'In Build' status with nodes already placed (like my area) there is no way to tell which pillar one's house will be hooked up to (it may not be the closest one).
Going for a walk around your area and looking for Telstra pillars and pits isn't very accurate as many (in some areas most) pits are covered by soil and grass (I reckon about � of the pits in my area had to be dug down to) so the ones you find may not be the one you are eventually connected to.
To make things more annoying they're not even announcing status until 6 months before estimated ready for service which may be well past the point where things start moving *sigh*.
We've got a lot of nodes popping up around here but there's still no information being given out so yeah.... that's pretty poor.
Did I mention FTTN and NBN are not my favorite people at the moment ;-)
Rookie question, What do pillars and nodes actually do?
This explains what pillars are for better than I could but basically they're a tube were the lines from the exchange for an area are put into before heading out to individual properties. They allow for a particular exchange line to be linked to a particular property. A tech can link line A to house Y easily and close to the house which is cheaper and easier to do.
http://wbtnetworks.com.au/th
FTTN uses 'nodes' which have optical fibre to a shared �cabinet�, which in turn provides internet access to customers within an area (of variable size and shape).
It's got power to it and provides internet services over copper between the node and the user. Sort of like a mini exchange but without telephones and using a later and faster version of ADSL called VDSL.
http://i.nextmedia.com.au/Ne
There are also mini nodes which are the same sort of thing but they service less properties.

So i've figured out that I'm about 800 metres from the node and pillar (through roads) is there a way of predicting the max speed I will receive when FTTN comes in January?

Unless you're right on the edge of town (at the edge of the service area as well) there's no reliable way (for the general public) to tell if the node and pillar you've found are the one you're going to be connected to.
From the Whirlpool Knowledge base I quote -:
It is IMPOSSIBLE to determine DSL sync speeds based on line of sight distance or street distance to your Node. A large part of what matters is the cable length, which your VDSL provider may or may not be able to provide. In addition to length, the thickness of the cable as well as the number and quality of joins will contribute to the attenuation, and thus sync rate.
But never the less... people want graphs... so here is a graph (which you shouldn't rely on) :)

Getting closer. Just saw them working at (what I believe is) the nearest pillar to my house.

Try the link below, zoom in to your area and click on your property.
Not all areas done, but you may be one of the one listed.
Obviously this doesn't account for how good your actual copper is, but still very interesting.
Man... that map is wired.... I wish they did the same to "predict" dsl speed before signing up...

Either enter your phone number, or your address and let it do the rest.
It's fairly accurate.

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone knows the sorts of things that might be happening (or not happening) if I get this message when I query my address.
'Additional work is still required in order to make your address ready to connect to the nbn� network.'
The area is Beaconsfield 3BWK-08-17. The whole area has apparently been ready for about 2months, and I know the people across the street have had NBN for a few weeks.
But our side of the road and a few streets behind us, are all get the above message.
I assume we are on a different node/pillar to the houses on the other side of the street.
Managed to get a message from a guy at Telstra.. something to the affect of.. it usually takes a month or 2 to get houses available to connect on the NBN. A couple of other ISP's I tried had no idea.. Just basically said to wait and we will contact you.
But no idea of what or how long it will be.
Anyone else in this area.?
So I got something in the mail about construction starting but still nothing online about my area.

All we're getting is bullsh#t fluff and outright lies from Morrow and the current government. Rollouts maps are useless and while my address is supposedly to be provisioned with HFC (H2, 2016) � a check on the links above still tells me nothing has started yet.
Morrow is talking big � I think that NBNCo is in a financial hole. Why else are they and the government putting the squeeze on leaks and reducing the real information on NBNCo activity? All the froth & bubbles is to try and hide the financial hole they're in and lack of any real progress.
As said earlier � all I want is a reliable 100/40 connection, and I'd be happy with the earmarked HFC providing it's properly provisioned.
We're reading that Turnbull is woeful as Lib leader � how long until the disillusioned Abbott brigade decide that they can now cut him loose and wreak further havoc on our NBN? The whole LP party machine is morally and financially corrupt � and they're the ones targeting union corruption. Isn't Australia lucky it didn't give them 'carte blanche' � at least the 'hung parliament' goes some way to prevent them 'punching us in the head' any more than they have already.
Just get on with the NBN. Stop telling us how well your doing the job, and just get it done.

I just today got a letter that my complex on St Kevins Avenue, Benowa, QLD 4217 is having the Installation of the HFC into our complex between 23/09/2016 and 17/02/2017.
Was a bit of a surprise, as all other information and roll out maps I have been regularly checking had no mention of our area in any time frame, but got the details of the company doing the work and their diagrams for our complex with the NBN letter saying installation is about to start.

Sorry, I have no idea where else to look.
If I've checked the rollout map and there's no info there and I've just checked the above spreadsheet mention and my suburb is nowhere to be seen, is it safe to say that I won't be getting NBN any time soon?

Hmm i see, also looking at the PDF version seems they have a typo FFTP instead of FTTP lol.
What about Fixed Wireless areas like Werribee South? Doesn't seem listed
When I checked the Tel$tra rollout map earlier in the year we were due to be connected in September. Even today I'm getting letters in the mail from ISPs saying "Congratulations, the 'nbn' is expected to be active 9 September 2016. Sign with us".
Now the Tel$tra rollout has an end of the year date on it. 'nbn'co paid contractors to work through easter where I am which would have cost a $__tload. Then they fail their own launch date. What a joke. Thanks Rudd, Gillard, Abbott & Turnbull.
is it safe to say that I won't be getting NBN any time soon?
Have you checked the 3 year roll out plan?
You need to find it by looking for your exchange first, then your suburb will be listed beside it.

Thanks, mate. Found it on there and I'm scheduled for H2-2017 (which is sooner than I though it would be). Appreciate the help.
scheduled for H2-2017
That's the start date, so realistically you can add about 6 � 9 months to that. So probably early 2018 for you.
Node cabinet was just installed today.
Now if only they'd connect everything and flip the switch.
Quite annoying seeing everything get built everyday as i drive past, but still have no clear indication of when they're expecting to finish and switch it on.

Has anyone heard any news on the Carrum Downs area? we are looking at buying in the area between Carrum Downs and Skye areas. Looking at ADSL in the area and it's on the Seaford Exchange which means *shudder* something like 3MBit/s. I just don't know if i can bring myself to deal with this until the NBN eventually comes around.
So the rollout map says my area eventually will be rolled out with hfc
Right now I believe I can already get cable internet if it's with Telstra or Optus Does that mean no change is really happening or does it mean other ISPs will have access to the cable in my area and I'll get a way bigger choice?
