[AusNOG] Expericances having NBN installed in office building (telecommunications equipment rooms).

[Paul Jones]

My only experience with NBN Installs is when they did my house, but the installers were more than happy to put the PCD and the NTD wherever I wanted it. Our lead-in is aerial so the PCD went next to the meter box on the side wall, and the NTD went inside the garage. The NBN installers can't/won't do any cable runs through internal walls, but if you prepare the cable run for them (conduit + pull wire), and have a power point located next to the NTD they seem quite accommodating. The easier you make it the less trouble you will have.

Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Noggers,
Would like to hear about experiences from those of you have had NBN installed into office buildings and telecommunications equipment rooms.  Background: Our office building is in a suburban NBN fibre completed area,  we recently ordered three new POTS PSTN services from a major carrier for a sub-tenant located on our site, but only to be told that any new POTS PSTN have to be provisioned via the NBN, despite us having an existing copper lead-in cable that is only about 20% utilized.   We are going forward with the provisioning through the NBN, but  I would like to know what's been peoples experience with having the PCD now called the "NBN utility box" and the NTD now called the "NBN connection box" mounted in non standard locations (e.g. The latter in a telecommunications equipment room)?

I suppose what I am asking is;   Is this something that is going to be a simple process or are we looking at some difficulties ahead?  (All the NBN documentation seem heavily biased towards a domestic house install)
