[AusNOG] Getting connected to a physically closer NBN FTTN node

[Tony]

I would have thought that it's all about which way the physical copper runs.

Assuming there is no copper going from their premises to the closer node, then ordering a new service is just going to use more copper that goes the "wrong" way. They can't provision you on the closer node without running new copper (again assuming there exists no copper going that way). They won't run new copper just for you to the closer node, so about the only way you're going to get any better speeds would be to go the "user pays FTTP" route (where you pay for the upgrade to all fibre and which is rumoured to cost $10k upwards minimum).


Welcome to the Node/copper lottery.

Hi All,
Hoping someone with some first hand knowledge can help me. I've got a client connected to NBN FTTN. However they seem to have been connected to a node that is physically much further from their premises than their nearest node.
Their nearest node is about 300 metres away but it looks like they've been connected to one that is almost 1km away which is obviously impacting their maximum speeds.
Does anyone know if there is a process to move them to the closer node?
I'd also note, their old copper ADSL2 copper pair was used when provisioning their FTTN service. Would ordering a brand new FTTN copper pair possibly connect them to the closer node?

-Matt
