<span style="font-size: 12px;">Hey Guy,</span>
</div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Thanks - I've been fortunate enough to have a very eager partner who does the majority of the Telstra pillar spotting on Google Street View. He does amazing stuff there too!</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">In the majority of cases, the FTTN rollout will consist of placing a node as close to an existing Telstra DA pillar as possible, but also adjacent to power supplies. It's the way that the Umina Beach trial is done, and it's what's been indicated by NBN Co to date. This way, the node is able to cross connect with <i>all</i> the premises within a DA.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">It won't be easy to move the node closer to more premises as you'd want to cross connect on a point where the distribution cable is (to maximise the number of premises serviceable). You'd also need to unbundle the cable and erect some form of pillar next to it to cross connect to. It'll be a major headache and a huge cost just to bump the statistics up a notch or so. With FTTdp still some years away, they might just leave it till then to upgrade the edge properties so they can cross the 25Mbps Government-mandated threshold.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 12px;">I've put some questions through about how RIMs/Top Hats - but since they are distinctly separate networks (one's Telstra's and the other's NBN Co's) - I can only see them placing another node adjacent to those existing cabinets and cross connecting from there.</span></div>

<div>Hi Kenneth,<br>
<br>
I'm very impressed with your site, please keep up the good work.<br>
<br>
Do you know if the placement of nodes for these sites are designed
for FTTN, or just happen to be where there is a RIM/Top Hat?<br>
My point being that if you can control / design the node location,
you can ensure that most subscribers are within the magic 700-800m
loop length.<br>
If you use existing RIM locations then you have no control over
loop length, which might explain the lower results.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
- Guy.<br>

<div>And we are in no way saying that this is the performance
that end users will get. Knowing how the current management
of NBN Co likes to keep information, I doubt we'll be seeing
any real speed results,sync speeds any time soon. Heck, there
still hasn't been a press release from NBN Co to tell us how
the FTTBuilding trials are going 8 months after they started,
and that's supposed to be the ones that are giving decent
VDSL2 sync speeds. But from what information is available out
there (overseas comparisons) and estimated line lengths - it
will give people a "picture" of what users can expect to get.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Also, we've realised that an <i>average (i.e mean)</i> is
probably not the best representation of speeds and so, a median
is now included.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And in relation to the OP's argument, the areas chosen for
the trials are mostly high density with small DA coverage
areas. The Caboolture area does include some larger sized DAs
in the outskirts, which has dragged the median down to
~36mbps.</div>

The <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://mynbn.info" target="_blank">mynbn.info</a> website has created
*theoretical* performance figures for trial sites.<br>
As in line sync rates, nothing to do with ISPs.<br>
<br>
The argument put forth by the OP is that those trial sites
have been selected to give the best speeds.
