[AusNOG] NBN Rollout Confusion in Glebe NSW CRM:000084250

[Stephen Carter (FirstPath)]

Happy Friday all,

I would agree, we see competitors saying that they are connecting soon but in fact they have no fibre in the street & or short term plans to do so. This practice really just results in OC’s becoming confused & less competition etc. FirstPath generally disregard these statements by other carriers and build regardless to deliver end user service.

As far as the “three addresses” issue is concerned this is common and hard to overcome as different information sources use different addresses: Owners, tenants, Land Titles, Google, Whereis etc … some even have the same buildings in different suburbs and postcodes. I have seen some with 8 or more addresses, if its any comfort it’s equally frustrating for carriers…

Kind regards

Skeeve,

Aside from direct information from nbn™ which seems to be hard to come by, http://www.mynbn.info/ collates most publicly available information to provide some sense of what activity is happening where.

I’ve noticed a lot of existing developments around Glebe/Ultimo/CBD  being classified as “High Value Builds”, likely in response to TPG’s aggressive push to install FTTB wherever it can.

nbn’s product roadmap (http://www.nbnco.com.au/content/dam/nbnco/documents/Integrated-Product-Roadmap.pdf) indicates that they don’t have HFC being part of an official product release until Q2 2016, so you will almost certainly be left with FTTN.

It’s starting to look like there’s a lot of overbuilding going on to secure these “high value” buildings whereas there are areas that are far down the 3 year plan that currently have nothing.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi all,

I'm confused.

I live in a complex in Glebe which big and takes an entire block (over 100 units).  We have 3 addresses on 3 sides of the block.

The complex has Telstra Bigpond Cable and it has worked fine for the 2 years we've been here.

I've heard from the building manager that NBN is about to be installed... and should be ready in a couple of weeks.

*blink* ?

Firstly, the new rollout from NBN says Glebe area is 2018, but also says it is HFC.

I assuming they aren't doing FTTH... the internal cabling costs on that in this place would be insane.... so I assume it is HFC upgrades of some kind?  I didn't think that NBNCo was actually upgrading anything in the complexes?

Also, does anyone know if there is someone I can talk to at NBN about their rollout addressing... as while 2 of our address sides come up in the NBN lookup tool as coming soon, one of them doesn't... but it is all the same infrastructure.
