The Ballsup that is the NBN
Mar 7th, 2020 at 6:54am
 
My Son and Family have built a house in an old area, but one that has all services running along the nature strip to their property.   Gas, water and Electricity went on in a reasonable time, but getting the old phone service on is a nightmare.     In the past, you rang Telstra and either they, or a private contractor came around and dug the trench and laid the phone line to the house and connected your house line up, connected you at the exchange and away you went.

However, with the absolute stuff up that the sale of copper networks to the NBN and them being the only people who can do the install, a simple 5 metre copper wire from an existing telecommunications pit, through ready installed conduit, to readily available house data cabling will take
6 months
.  The paperwork involved to get that done is horrendous and now, most providers like Optus and Telstra won't touch it, giving (in our case) the Homeowner the job of compiling data plans, imagery and coordinates to NBN.

We should have had beautiful, fast telecommunications technology like fibre to the home for everyone by now but, we are stuck with waiting for a copper run, from a flooded pit, and a laughable internet speed.    Well done Turnbull - your picture should be attached to all the thousands of graffiti covered green boxes that litter the landscape around Australia just because you wanted to destroy a visionary plan to give Australia world's best internet because Rudd and Labor thought of it first.

I seriously thought you had to connect to NBN and of course I did...it is unbelievably slow  you could knit a scarf

6 months wait is so unrealistic...  is it time we had a huge petition to the minister for communications..

Surely you can find a private contractor to run the new cable for you sooner? There are many private contractors independent of both the nbn and telstra that do that sort of work.

I know sometimes they're restricted with access to the existing pit (the ones i know in my area don't have that problem), but what if they bring the line to the pit and not connect it on that end? Then have nbn send someone just for the connection

that's where you're wrong. With my one line I have shown:

1. who's to blame for this schmozzle of an nbn that the libs have left us with

2. shown what a moron you were for voting for it

3. how even the simplest things are beyond your understanding


not bad for one line ehhh..

Apparently John, NBN own all the copper and the infrastructure.  All residences need a unique ID to allow NBN to keep track of its connections.    Nothing can happen until NBN assign that number.  I estimate the actual job itself would take an hour to do.  The old Telstra pit is right in front of the property, the conduit has been done and the customer lead in is there.    But nothing will happen until NBN assign the number, and that could take 6 months
