[AusNOG] NBN FTTN And Migrations and End User Equipment

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

It has nothing to do with NBN, they just get an order to connect a line to
a node, and go and move that line to the node. (The nodes are mostly being
put within 30m of a pillar.  The jumper from your O pair to the exchange is
removed, and it is re-jumpered to the node instead.)

It's all about your RSP.   In telstra's case they totally screwed the pooch.

In the Gorokan Pilot, they were MEANT to send a tech out to install the
telstra gateway, punch in the user's current ISP username/password, and it
would come up on their existing connection.  They'd re-wire the internal
cabling so the line in went directly to the new modem.  And then the PSTN 1
line out of the modem went to any other phone points.  6 days later NBN
would swap the user's line over to the Node, the modem would detect loss of
sync, try VDSL, get an IP via IPoE, and over the next 10-20 minutes, the
modem would reboot a few times while getting VOIP config etc, and then the
user would be up on NBN.

In reality, they just booked NBN connections for anyone who'd asked to be
put on the list to be notified when NBN was available.  And then as folks
called up to ask what was wrong, they told them their modems had failed,
and offered to sell them a new modem for $299.  And then when that didn't
work they then looked at it and went 'Oh, you have been moved to the NBN..
Someone will be out in 3 weeks time to setup your new telstra modem..'

I'm just glad I reiterated during every conversation while ordering with
Telstra, that I wanted it on the unused inplace line, and then when the NBN
bloke came out to do the install, I didn't give him a choice, I just took
his warbler off him and plugged it into the spare line.   Other folks from
my work weren't so lucky, and spent 3 weeks with no internet.

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
 and tore the world asunder
