    for Upgrading FTTN to FTTC

    why wouldn't you upgrade to FTTP?

    • hollykryten on 14/09/2022 - 21:28
      +2

      Must be a typo. They aren't doing any more FTTC connections as far as i'm aware. Must be FTTC to FTTP.

      I just wish FTTP was available here too. Crappy FTTN area. And since the NBN still hasn't yet got around to laying fibre optics in the ground for the FTTP upgrade so still stuck on some thing like FTTN like i am. This area is set to be upgraded to FTTP but as far as they've got is laying some conduits underground for it. They've still got to lay the fibre optics for the FTTP upgrade.

      Even with FTTC to FTTP upgrade they've got to get around to connecting the appropriate cables to the fibre optics at the street. This stuff all takes time.

  • jv on 14/09/2022 - 17:43

    Current FTTC ellgible nbn™ plans are 250/25 plan

    How do they get 250 on FTTC?

    I thought max was 100/40 on FTTC???

    • scuderiarmani on 14/09/2022 - 17:45

      I believe some atleast offer higher on FTTC. Maybe specific areas too.

      • Twix on 14/09/2022 - 19:14

        100/40 is the top speed nbn are allowing over FTTC. Anyone on FTTC that wants 250Mbps and 1000Mbps has to swap to FTTP.

        • scuderiarmani on 14/09/2022 - 19:28

          I thought gfast or whatever was a thing in some areas? If not, my bad.

              @Twix: That's a shame… Wonder why… Copper is still copper. Who's dumb idea was it to use copper instead of fiber and then upgrade to fiber anyway?

    • Jumbaloola on 14/09/2022 - 17:55

      You are correct. Max is 100/40 on FTTC.

      The 250/25 plan is the minimum plan you must go onto once you've upgraded to FTTP. You must stay on that plan (or higher) for a minimum of 12 months or pay a $200 fee.

    • wayne7190 on 14/09/2022 - 18:34

      My house is FTTC and I was able to get 250mbps plan. Just couldn't get the 1000 and NBN wanted 17k to upgrade.

      • Twix on 14/09/2022 - 19:02
        +2

        250Mbps is not available over FTTC. By the end of this year or next year you can swap from FTTC to FTTP through a participating ISP and signup for 250Mbps or 1000Mbps.

        Connection type Maximum speed
        FTTN, FTTB, FTTC 100/40
        HFC 1000/50
        FTTP 1000/400

      It means, that if you are on FttN. You have to go on 100/20 or higher when upgrading to FttP. Or if you are on FttC, you must go on the 250/25 when moving to FttP.

    • hollykryten on 14/09/2022 - 21:49

      Yeah i think it's quite unfair that the NBN forces FTTC to FTTP upgrades to have a minimum 250Mbps plan to be eligible but for FTTN to FTTP upgrade it's 100Mbps. They are basically forcing FTTC upgrades to pay more money.

      • jv on 14/09/2022 - 23:30

        basically forcing FTTC upgrades to pay more money.

        If you switch to More Telecom when upgrading, you'll only be paying $83 for 12 months for 250Mps. You can then go to another provider or drop back to 100Mps without penalty.

        • BlazzingGun on 15/09/2022 - 17:13

          That's for commbank customers only- $83.

    • netsurfer on 14/09/2022 - 17:58

      HFC in my area is a complete joke. Regular maintenance outages (at least once a month). The NBN technician I spoke to informed me HFC in my area will be replaced by FTTC or FTTP eventually.

      DOCSIS 3.1 is capable of 1gbps uploads.

      The technology itself might be but that doesn't mean NBN's current setup is. Many cable networks around the world have simply ditched trying to upgrade their networks to be fully Gigabit capable and opted to go fiber instead. High chance NBN will do the same ……… some time in the next 10 years.

  • Keplaffintech on 14/09/2022 - 19:22

    Promo/referral code invalid

    is it targeted? (I am on FTTC and my address is eligible for upgrade)

    • ONEMariachi on 14/09/2022 - 19:47

      It’s not targeted. It’s NBN’s Fibre Connect program. If your LOCID is eligible you can upgrade.

    • ciab on 14/09/2022 - 20:05

      Depends on what router you have.

          Then you’re fine. NBN will install a NTD in your house, and you just plug an ethernet from the uni-d port into the WAN port of your router.

      Most VDSL modems these days also have a WAN Ethernet port these days, so Unlikely (but still possible). What brand/model modem do you have?

      • TheMoistMan on 14/09/2022 - 21:20

        I recently upgraded to FTTP and my Asus DSL-AC68U didn't have a dedicated WAN port so it needed to have a WAN port assigned through the router's settings through one of the LAN ports .

    • Twix on 14/09/2022 - 21:07

      nbn terminate the fibre and install the NTD. Some workers install the nbn NTD where you want. Some workers want to do the easiest install and won't give you a choice but you can deny the install and ask your ISP to rebook the install. If you don't want to stuff around hire a cabler out beforehand to install conduit and a drawstring where you want the nbn NTD installed.

    • marko62 on 15/09/2022 - 05:46

      This is the only reason I have not yet upgraded. The front room of the house is our lounge/theatre room and i don't really want the hardware in that room. The room where the computers and modem is one room back.

  • Jklaro on 14/09/2022 - 21:00

    So this is crap you have to stay connected with Aussie broadband for 12 months or else $200 cancellation fee.

      I believe all ISPs charge a $200 fee if you don't sustain a high-speed plan for at least 12 months after upgrading to FTTP.

      • Twix on 14/09/2022 - 22:11

        Except for Exetel who are absorbing the $200 cost themselves and allowing plan changes after 1 month.

          • Twix on 15/09/2022 - 10:35

            @homersyd: You can swap ISPs.

            So long as you stay on an eligible plan, nbn doesn't count it as a cancelation for the losing RSP and the 12 month timer gets carried over (at where it was from the losing RSP) to the gaining RSP.

            nbn did think of this scenario and sanity has prevailed.

        • maverick on 15/09/2022 - 17:38

          @twix, 1) are you saying that Exetel allow plan changes after 1 month to below 250/25 (when upgrading from FTTC to FTTP)? … because currently I'm not sure they allow plan changes for 12 months after completing the upgrade (but they do allow cancellation with 30 days notice).
          2) is Exetel the only RSP that isn't charging the $200 cancellation fee for leaving within 12 months or is Superloop also not charging the fee?
          3) does an RSP stating that they are not charging the fee mean that the NBN won't or can't try and recover the fee via the new RSP to which you churn within 12 months?

          • Twix on 15/09/2022 - 19:56

            @maverick:

            1. Yep with Exetel they let you swap from 250/25 to say 100/40 after 1 month.
            2. Exetel only from what I've seen.
            3. Nope Exetel are paying the $200 themselves if nbn charge them.

              @Twix:

              1. Maybe someone from Exetel can confirm because they've said to others that you're stuck on the Flip to Fibre plan you initially choose for 12 months - but you always have the option to cancel and leave altogether on 30 days notice.
              2. Superloop doesn't mention the $200 in it's flip promo terms https://www.superloop.com/documents/legal/SuperloopHomeBroad…

                      @Twix: Without seeing the post I can't see what the rep said but as for now, Exetel are telling people that you are stuck on whatever plan you flip to for 12 months. They might make one off exceptions if you ask but the current policy is you're stuck on the flipped to plan for 12 months - unless of course you leave altogether which you can do with 30 days notice. Sounds counter-intuitive I know but that's what they're saying.

  • BlueSkyAPI on 06/10/2022 - 13:25

    Can anyone share their experience about how flexible/restrictive is the choice of NTD location inside the house? Are the installers going to try to choose the connection box location that's least work for the installer or are they reasonable if I want it near the centre of the house?

    Also is it possible to confirm ahead of the installation appointment whether a specific location will be acceptable? Some of my preferred locations doesn't have existing powerpoint GPOs. So I am trying to avoid if I paid for an electrician to put in the GPO and then only to find out that the NTD cannot be installed in that area.
