When will the NBN come to ? part 6

    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?

    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.

    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 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?

    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.

    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.

  • miloguy

    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,..

  • Ibslice

    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.

    should I ring up my isp (tpg) now or just wait till the box arrives?

    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.

  • Rauland

    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/nbn-tracker/rollout/3LAR-01

    Lara: Approx. # Premises 700
    https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/rollout/3LAR-20

    Avalon: Approx. # Premises 600

    Why so few premises? Where are they? I can't imagine they're for rural properties as the distances are too vast for copper.

    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.

    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

    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.

    chris..

    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.

    Rock thread: /forum-replies.cfm?t=2026927
    Finder: https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/rollout/4ROT-02 ???
    Finder:https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker/sa/4FRV ????
    Telstr: https://www.telstrawholesale.com.au/nbn/overview/nbn-rollout-schedule.html

    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.

  • 2016-Jul-22, 8:33 am

    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.

  • GEPLAYER

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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"

    NBN's 3 year Construction plan: NSW
    2SPW
    Sydney Springwood
    Emu Heights, Emu Plains, Leonay
    3800
    HFC
    H2-2016
    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/nbn-quietly-removes-all-non-fttp-areas-from-build-prep-map/
    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.

    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/the-humble-pillar-in-the-australian-telecoms-network/

    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/News/20160620042725_nbn%20node.jpg

    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) :)

    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.

    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.?

    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.

    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.
