[AusNOG] Unlock Telstra NBN Porn

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

What he likely means is.. His modem fried, and he plugged in one which
didn't support vectoring, and so after 10-15 mins, his port was shutdown.
Been there, done that, multiple times, multiple lines :)

NBNco do NOT like non-vectoring modems (I can understand why..).  Plug one
in, and you get 10-15 minutes, then your port gets locked out.  Only way to
get it unlocked is to plug in the original RSP-supplied modem, and request
a port reset, or if it's not available, and you don't fib a little and say
'yeah no problems, I've plugged the original one in now', you get to have a
tech come out and test the line/port with their vectoring-enabled test set.

I'd suggest he corrects the settings/firmware on his modem to support
vectoring, then call Telstra back and say he's managed to source a
replacement Telstra modem from a friend who has just shifted out of a house
which had Telstra NBN, and can they please reset the port now..

 We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
