Browse Forums Building A New House Re: NBN point in your new house. 14Aug 10, 2018 12:11 pm reaver I thought NBN resumed the HFC rollout in the middle of this year. I've avoided reading up on the NBN since they started their MTM strategy. Not sure what you mean about the 2 cables but there will be one data point in the garage and one in the family room which means there will be only one Cat6 cable running between those two points. I'm not considering additional data points at this stage because I find that wifi works well for our needs. Streaming, gaming and running a smart hub on wifi works just ok if you are not considering additional data points for other parts of you house, then you can ignore what I said. If your router is in the family room , you will need to run another data point back to your NBN point garage , so that other data points can have access to the router network. (Assuming your other data points terminate in the garage. ) . (or course they are other work arounds but I'm just mentioning the standard) This doesn't apply to you since you are solely using wifi for all other needs. Re: NBN point in your new house. 15Sep 12, 2018 11:20 am MyFirst Probably I should clarify.. NBN will charge you $315 and you pray they do turn up before you demolition guys comes in. I waited for 5-6 week!. If you google there are people saying they don't turn up.. In my case they did not turn up so my demo. guys cut the wire and then I asked NBN for a refund. But I could just be unlucky! After weeks, they finally send me a quote and it's for $1,056!!!! To cut a HFC cable and update their internal records.

Did you go ahead with the official disconnection from NBN or cut it yourself? I am now in the same process of knocking down and NBN has quoted me the exact same price $1056.

Purely because I need to re-engage them to re-establish us, of which I plan to have them convert us to underground pit and not aerial restoration. It'll be a new house with all services underground, so im not going to accept aerial, despite itll cost me again.

Yea I'm thinking the same too, will need the re-connection done once the house is built. You don't know down the line there might be more costs involved if it wasn't done properly, best to prevent that situation.

In my case there will be as I won't accept aerial for the new house, but yeah, if they turn around and act like they don't know what I'm talking about, I have quotes, job numbers, written evidence in email, etc. Re: NBN point in your new house. 20May 09, 2019 7:46 am Hi Cheltsider, How did you go with the NBN installation? I am at Tender stage with my builder and they're guaranteeing that they will do the lead-in from the pole to the external side of my house for PCD and then on to the garage for the NTD. I live in the HFC - Aerial Lead-in area. I am still not convinced that they know what they're talking about. Sigh Building Standards; Getting It Right!
