It is all thumb twiddling and testing now, apparently it has been
connected and has been for ages, just waiting,maybe just a month or so for
them to try it all out before they give it to us.

So what happened ?
You donât see too much activity at all here now, tho there are
still a few pillars with the temporary covers with the long handles
down each side. Looks unlikely we will be seeing anything before
Xmas. Maybe they donât have enough testers or something.
First sign of any activity was 12-Aug, that still gives a full month
to go if mine is as slow as Keith's was, 5 months in his case.

Currently predicted to be next month, Jan.
Which fits with what Keith saw, we still have one month to go before
we have the same 5 months from starting to available he got.
Here's hoping.
you saw something happen months ago.
Yes, first visible activity, digging the holes
for the nodes/green boxes was 12-Aug.
but nothing seems to of moved?
There was lots of visible activity for 3 months. In the first couple
of weeks they were digging the holes for the green boxes with
mid sized trucks and then putting those on their own concrete
pads with multiple poly pipes to the relatively adjacent pillar.
Then for about 2 months after that there were usually white vans
parked near the boxes and monkeys fiddling with the wires in one
end. I spoke to one of them when he was doing that and you could
see that he was terminating the multicore cable on the vertical panel
up the entire narrow section in one of the green boxes. I said 'the
electronics is down there presumably', pointing to the rest of the
box which had the door still closed on it and he said 'yep'.
Sometimes the van was parked beside an existing pit with
a monkey or two in the pit. Wasn't obvious what they were
doing down there when I stopped and talked to one of them.
There hasn't been as much activity in the last month but you
do sometimes see someone down another prexisting pit still.
Some of the pillars still have temporary covers on them,
with long handles right down each side. But at least one
of them actually has the usual lettering on it so it may
not actually be a temporary cover anymore.
I think a lot of pillars are removed?
I think it's the coffee shop.Like Sydney's light rail still not past the good
coffee shop in Martin place after two years now?
Sure, but that is obviously a lot more work that with the NBN.
16 monthsLight rail have made a big deal about actually laying some
track on George St between Park St and Bathurst St?
Meant to start at Circular Quay, this strip is around the length on
ones property
How long did it take for the existing light rail to get done ?
As with Macathur to Airport line one has to check for scams.Not that useful into tho because it went along the old rail
right of way, particularly when it got out past the edge of
the CBD out where the PowerHouse Museum is.
My U-Bute bus stop was put up I thought it great, the next week they(probably dig it up again, more fake news

When a new line was being put from Macathur to Airport a lot of times
buses were used claimed trackwork. But looking out bus windows all
backhoes etc was idle. Turned out it was a scam

16 months

Not that useful info tho because it went along the old rail
right of way, particularly when it got out past the edge of
the CBD out where the PowerHouse Museum is.
As with Macathur to Airport line one has to check for scams.
Seems there is a "normal" amount of junk not removed over the
centuries, the construction company is claim they need to check
out carefully what it is. I suspect it's more of a scam than reality.
The "posh" suburbs are "suddenly" finding artifacts

My U-Bute bus stop was put up I thought it great, the next
week they are digging it up, the concrete slab was 4 inches
think, the council require 8 inches (it's back up now)?

Allegedly its available today in my part of town.
I'd just decided that they weren't going to do that on the
day before Xmas Eve but they have just dumped me face
down in the mud on that apparently.
It does appear to be available today at my place.
I was originally planning to stay with dodo until my contract ran out,
8 months @ $24/month break fee. Not attractive in the long term,
myrepublic.net is much better value for 100/40 unlimited, $60, dodo
wants $100 for that. Dodo will allow you to change to the NBN with
no contract penalty, but that involves a whole new 2 year contract.
Dodo's retention people could only offer me $95/month but were
happy to halve the break fee to just $99.
I signed up with myreplublic.net, but that froze on the final screen.
Rang them, but have now been on hold for 25 mins.

There was lots of visible activity for 3 months. In the first couple

mid sized trucks and then putting those on their own concrete

About three weeks ago I saw some one having a snooze near our node
with his head resting on a small pit between node and a pole and
jumped when I came up, he pretended to talk down the pit then he
said he was connecting power to node box.
Interesting point, it isnt at all obvious how the power gets to the
node box.
None of ours have any connection to the mains poles.
Some of the pillars still have temporary covers on them,
with long handles right down each side. But at least one
of them actually has the usual lettering on it so it may
not actually be a temporary cover anymore.
Like Sydney's light rail still not past the good
coffee shop in Martin place after two years now?
Sure, but that is obviously a lot more work that with the NBN.
Light rail have made a big deal about actually laying some
track on George St between Park St and Bathurst St?
Meant to start at Circular Quay, this strip is around the length on
ones property
How long did it take for the existing light rail to get done ?
Not that useful into tho because it went along the old rail
right of way, particularly when it got out past the edge of
the CBD out where the PowerHouse Museum is.
(probably dig it up again, more fake news
by "our media" paid for by politicians)
Allegedly its available today in my part of town.
I'd just decided that they weren't going to do that on the
day before Xmas Eve but they have just dumped me face
down in the mud on that apparently.
It does appear to be available today at my place.
I was originally planning to stay with dodo until my contract ran out,
8 months @ $24/month break fee. Not attractive in the long term,
myrepublic.net is much better value for 100/40 unlimited, $60, dodo
wants $100 for that. Dodo will allow you to change to the NBN with
no contract penalty, but that involves a whole new 2 year contract.
Dodo's retention people could only offer me $95/month but were
happy to halve the break fee to just $99.
I signed up with myreplublic.net, but that froze on the final screen.
Rang them, but have now been on hold for 25 mins.
I just ran my address through NBN and it said estimated start Jan 2017

You don't see too much activity at all here now, tho there are
still a few pillars with the temporary covers with the long handles
down each side. Looks unlikely we will be seeing anything before
Xmas. Maybe they don't have enough testers or something.
First sign of any activity was 12-Aug, that still gives a full
month
to go if mine is as slow as Keith's was, 5 months in his case.
Just had someone whining in the local facebook group that Telstra
has refused to fix a phone fault because the NBN is imminent here,
How "imminent" is it
Currently predicted to be next month, Jan.
Which fits with what Keith saw, we still have one month to go before
we have the same 5 months from starting to available he got.
you saw something happen months ago.
Yes, first visible activity, digging the holes
for the nodes/green boxes was 12-Aug.
but nothing seems to of moved?
There was lots of visible activity for 3 months. In the first couple
of weeks they were digging the holes for the green boxes with
mid sized trucks and then putting those on their own concrete
pads with multiple poly pipes to the relatively adjacent pillar.
Then for about 2 months after that there were usually white vans
parked near the boxes and monkeys fiddling with the wires in one
end. I spoke to one of them when he was doing that and you could
see that he was terminating the multicore cable on the vertical panel
up the entire narrow section in one of the green boxes. I said 'the
electronics is down there presumably', pointing to the rest of the
box which had the door still closed on it and he said 'yep'.
Sometimes the van was parked beside an existing pit with
a monkey or two in the pit. Wasn't obvious what they were
doing down there when I stopped and talked to one of them.

I only found FttN was available by checking online
Also had problems for Telstra to give me correct bill always over
charged by around $10. Took them months to give me a TV modem
which I use for programs I miss not paying for any Netflix etc.

Mate of mine found a big Telstra van down the main street today
and asked them when it would be available. He said today in half
the town and a couple more weeks in the other half.
About a month later letters started arriving from ISP's of offers.
We've been having those for months now, mostly from iprimus and
someone else I can't remember. None from dodo or telstra tho even
tho I have used both in the past and currently use dodo.
Also had problems for Telstra to give me correct bill always over
charged by around $10. Took them months to give me a TV modem
which I use for programs I miss not paying for any Netflix etc.
Havent used them for more than a decade now. I did use them
when adsl first showed up, basically in case there were problems.
