NBN verses 4G. Is there a contest?

They gave up that day and laid the cable from the "Tap pit"
across my front lawn and onto the connection box that fed the
internal access cables through my house.

They returned the next day, and dug s couple of large holes into
the footpath and located where the cable that they had jammed.

They then smashed through the conduit and hooked another cable
to the jammed end and pulled a new cable into my access pit
Repair consisted of placing broken bits of conduit on top of the
conduit holes, sealing with tape and filling the holes back in.

Says nothing useful what so ever about how common that is, fuckwit.

stuff some of the phone lines")

Blocked & broken lead-in conduit is very common.

But not for the reason he was pig ignorantly lying about that would
require the copper to be permanently ripped out so the NBN is possible.

The plastic pipe used these days for residential
purposes is 20mm diameter ( approx ). Previous
pipes used were even smaller.

The diameter of a FTTH lead-in cable ( more accurately, the head/plug of the cable ) is about 20mm, I gather.

Dont believe it.

Hard to believe, I know.

The last page has a conduit capacity guide. You
can only have a FTTH cable in a 20mm (P20) pipe.

You dont know what the NBN is going to do on that.

Not much room there for overbuilding another network, it seems, unless you dig in more conduit to every house.

Doesnt have to be done by digging.

Aerial?

Nope, the natural gas was done here with very little digging at all, punching it thru instead.

Wouldn't be acceptable in a lot of places,

You dont know that they will get any say.

With the payTV rollouts they didnt get any say.

particularly with everything else located underground.

They're free to set fire to themselves or sumfin.

Even the distribution network ( street pit 'n' pipe )
would have to be majorly upgraded to allow
another network to co-exist, IMO, particularly if
there's co-axial cable present as well.

The ACCC wont allow them to rip out the copper network, you watch.

I'm just wondering how it's going to be done.

Most likely if the existing conduits arent suitable
they will do it on the poles or run another conduit.

Likely we will never know because the plug will be pulled on the Labor govt
before much actually gets done at all and the plug is pulled on the NBN.

With an underground shared system you could possibly drag out the copper lead-in cable and haul the FTTH cable in when
that was required, perhaps.

No perhaps about it.

And then haul that out when the next tennant wanted to be on the copper network.

The ACCC wont allow them to rip out the copper network, you watch.

We've seen two styles of rollout so far. One is a separate network and the other, in a couple of places, an entire
replacement i.e copper to FTTH.

The ACCC wont allow them to rip out the copper network, you watch.

It's happening right now in a few places.

In a microscopic number in fact.

There's yet to be a network overbuild attempted....

Thats a lie, its happened in tasmania.

Not using existing Telstra pit and pipe, though.

Because there is fuck all of that there.
