Thanks for this Rod, Telstra have removed many pillars now I only see
one where there was none before the only number is on the cabinet
2CBT-08-18-FNO-001

There should be a number on that pillar and you need to know
that to know if it's the pillar you are connected to now. The lettering
may be quite faded, but it will be there. Much bigger letters than
on the node cabinet.

NBN or whoever have even replaced the 2nd hand pillar they originally
used.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50667687/NBNcabnet2.jpg
The "new" one is painted silver

There should still be some ID label on it unless someone
has fucked up and its still got the temporary cover.

The bill from Telstra only name the "plan" not to details there "verbal's"
said I would be on a down speed, promised was at 50Mb/s.

The only guarantee is for 25Mb and that is only after the coexistence
period which happens for 18 months. Until then the only guarantee is 12/1

Ideally you should plug the incoming phone line directly
into your modem/router and not have any extensions for
the best internet speed. That effect is due to the spurs
to the phone extensions resonating at the much higher
frequencys used by VDSL2 and producing nulls.

The first point in our house is in my office, then there are points in
the kitchen and main bedroom. I wanted the base station for the cordless
phone system in the kitchen as that is the most convenient place for the
answering machine, but the modem simply did not work on that point. The
solution was to split the wiring in the office and install a dual
socket. So the modem is the only thing on the external line, and the
modems VOIP output connects to the other sockets.

Yeah, that's what I meant. His low numbers may be because he isnt doing
that.

Then you must be quite a distance from the node
to get such a low speed, bit less than a kilometer.

I'm thinking Telecom have it limited
When I first connected I chose the 25Mb/s plan
Then they advertised their $99 a month deal which I upgraded to which
is supposed to be 50Mb/s down speed
They started charging $110 which was changed to $99 seemed to have to
ring them up each month after around 2 hours a time I were credited
the $10, then it was 2 months before they sent me their TestraTV and
were told they wouldn't or didn't send it till I got the 50Mb/s down
speed?

A kilometre is not that far but I estimate it is 500 metres but the
wire may be longer I suppose?

Just get worn down talking to incompetent clowns who don't deliver.
Same I found in dealing with Telecome in the 80's over 30 years and
1000's of them never fixing a problem till a service managers select
team found it was wired wrong and fixed it in less than 10 minutes.

You should be getting better than that at that distance.

> but the wire may be longer I suppose?

Yeah, it isnt easy to work out where the street cable actually
goes, or even the pillar you are actually wired to either.

> Just get worn down talking to incompetent clowns who don't deliver.

They are only required to provide 12/1 in this coexistence
phase, before all the adsl is turned off. That phase lasts 18
months. And they only guarantee 25/1 after that too.

Same I found in dealing with Telecome in the 80's over 30 years and
1000's of them never fixing a problem till a service managers select
team found it was wired wrong and fixed it in less than 10 minutes.

Its different now because they do know which pillar and node
you are connected to and that determines the speed you are
getting, the distance to that and the type of cable used etc.
