Hi,
dose anyone know if you can find out any costs associated with this on the internet. We are building very soon and they are currently rolling it out in our area and I am trying to work out what we need to budget for.
Thanks

Does anyone else have the same problem? P.S. I am at Glenmore Ridge. Re: National Broadband Network 12Jun 06, 2012 1:15 pm Snakes Quote: Thanks I am still totally confused by it all but I am sure we'll work it out As far as I understand it, and if I have it wrong please feel free to correct me, NBN Co (or whichever contractor who is laying the optic fibre in your estate) won't actually run the optic fibre to your house, only to the front of it. Therefore you need to pay your builder to run the fibre to your house and install all necessary provisions to use it. The provisions include a modem type device, which normally sits in your garage, and data points throughout the house that are connected to the modem in the garage, so you can plug your computer/telephone/TV into them. This depends on whether the fibre has already been rolled out in the street in question or not - NBNCo will get their contractors to run the fibre to the NBN box on your premises for free if they can do the connection as the same time as they are rolling out fibre in the street - often they will use the same conduits that are used for your other services as well (but they can run conduit to the external termination point if they have to). Most of what you're paying for with the builder is the home networking hub the builder wants to provide you with and any cabling you're going to need for phone/tv/data. Some people apparently have nothing better to do than comment on other people's sigs. Re: National Broadband Network 13Jun 06, 2012 2:25 pm I was at the Sydney Home Show last week and had a detailed chat to the NBN Co rep there. You need to provide two conduits. First one is from the property boundary to an external wall. The second one is from the external wall to a place inside the house where you would like the fibre to terminate (I intend on having a central network node under the stairs). The conduit needs to be certain spec, e.g. 25mm, and any bends cannot be more than a certain radius (don't have the spec sheet on me but should be easy to google for it). NBN Co will then install fibre to the external wall (where they will install one box) and into the property to the internal termination point. At the internal point, they will install 3 further boxes: 1) A battery back device to service phone lines in case power fails, 2) A laser which sends the signal down the fibre, and 3) A Network Terminating Device, which is where you plug in your network (Wifi/Switch/Router). I only queried about getting NBN in an established suburb, but once the conduits are in, NBN Co will run the fibre and install the boxes. I've heard for new estates there may be a charge back type scheme (can anyone else confirm?). Builders will usually try to sell you a data package which is basically running cables through your house. Note, the Hills Home Hub is NOT provided by NBN Co. It is an addon service/devices which some builders will provide and is NOT mandatory. For those who are technically minded, one interesting thing I found out is that you can have up to 4 *separate* service providers to your property on the fibre connection. So you may have one service provider for your personal use and work may pay for a separate one. With this in mind, if you are intending on installing data cabling, it's probably wise to install multiple runs of data cable from the termination point to allow for this. Re: National Broadband Network 14Jun 06, 2012 9:30 pm This is all good for most of us but what will happen for existing/old areas. For example A two story home that has the front yard all landscaped/concreted. Are you expected to dig up your garden/driveway for the first conduit then cut holes all through your house for the second conduit?? Can all of the equipment be placed externally?? Then wireless to the rest of the house? Still Waiting for Titles!!!!

I should have qualified my post to say that I was looking at a knock-down-rebuild in an established area so was directing my questions to the NBN Co rep accordingly. I'm not sure how fibre will run from the boundary to an established property, but if you don't have a second conduit inside the house, they will install it on the inside wall behind where the fibre enters the house- usually to the garage Re: National Broadband Network 16Jun 13, 2012 8:43 pm I'm building at stonehill and they charged approx $2500 for all of the nbn setup charges including conduit and pit and cabling - this included all TV points and everything else that kind of goes with it Re: National Broadband Network 17Jun 13, 2012 9:12 pm NBN??? What is this phenomenon?? Some proposed project for faster internet.? Checked the website. Shame they cannot even list when infrastructure may even reach here. Talking 2015 +++++++ Bloody pathetic. It will be out of date before we even get it. Whilst I live in regional Vic, we are not remote and a major terrorist (sorry tourist) destination. Sorry but this is just a load of crap.

Its not proposed, its happening, and will replace all the copper in the house. I'm not sure why builders see fit to charge for NBN from the kerb to the house - NBN co will cover that at install time. Cabling your house to have a network etc is useful and a good idea, NBN or no NBN, and probably around $2500 is about right for the whole place. The conduit from the st and pit and cabling will be covered in the NBN rollout phase I thought, so I don't see why builders are charging for it. If someone can post a link where I can understand more about this issue that would be good. http://www.nbnco.com.au/getting-connect ... -faqs.html This page doesn't seem to make it clear one way or another. http://www.nbnco.com.au/assets/document ... he-nbn.pdf This seems to make it clear that running the fibre from the st is included in the setup. From the brochure: "If your premises is not already connected to the NBN, the installation will include running a fibre-optic cable from the street to a small box on the outside of your house (the Premises Connection Device). The installer will then drill a small hole through your wall and feed the cable through into a wall plate that will be installed inside the house. A cable runs from there to the Network Termination Device, which looks like a broadband modem." Be careful of builders who are trying to charge for something you don't need or will get for free later. Re: National Broadband Network 19Jun 13, 2012 11:01 pm While cabling everywhere in your house is an option I think as mentioned previously wireless is a better option for something's. Seriously I don't care if my fridge has Internet in a few years I know that it will only need a few kb connection. Wireless can handle more throughput than most people can download at presently. I would suggest connections to entertainment and office zones in your house and wireless for general stuff. I have data running to my media room, family room, pantry ( where the wireless route will live ) and a couple to the garage for my servers (IT nerd here) I was originally going to go crazy with cables but with my current home have 2 cables from my computer room to the man lounge for my PS3 and blue ray player and wireless is fine for the rest 2 Re: National Broadband Network 20Jun 13, 2012 11:19 pm I Agree dvestate, I have a wd tv Live Wireless Media Player. I also have a "copy" of Transformers Dark of the moon Blu ray which is 44.5GB. Yeah I know. The Media player givea a bit rate reading if you want it it. When Transformers is playing is reads about 50Mb per second. My router is wirelss N which they claim can run upto 300Mbps. They can probably do speeds 10 times that now but we all know that drip feeding consumers makes more money. Fiber to the home will be great but paying thousands for copper throughout may not be IMAO.
