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

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 It will be out of date before we even get it.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.
