Never lived in a massive house so wireless was never an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/01/17 04:01 AM Share Posted 13/01/17 04:01 AM Yeah I went through just about every manufacturer (D-Link, Netcomm etc) until the Comms Engineer's said to to try Billion. The iiNet provided kit for my NBN connection is a Technicolour branded unit, which I'll stick with for the time being and will probably upgrade when I get the new place, most houses I've looked at are FTTP, so I can use an ethernet connector instead of needing a VDSL port for the FTTB modem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NTD acts as an endpoint that ISP's can control a UNI-D port remotely so you can just re-plug to one of the other UNI-D ports if you switch providers, for example. So you don't need a VDSL port (unless the building wiring is weird as fark). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/01/17 05:16 AM Share Posted 13/01/17 05:16 AM I wanted to use the Billion ethernet port, but when the NBN techs turned up, they wired from NBN's connectors - I can never remember the term for the ceramic connectors telephone tech's wire between - to the phone ones and then you connect via VDSL port to your normal telephone socket. I can take photo's of the downstairs distribution box to show what I mean when I get home, as far as I am aware, we are the first FTTB site in W.A. Do a look-up on 227 Vincent Street, West Perth (LOC000033675925) and you will see one purple patch right smack bang in the map with nothing else around it even close to getting NBN. http://www.nbnco.com.au/learn-about-the-nbn/rollout-map.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 13/01/17 05:58 AM Share Posted 13/01/17 05:58 AM This is why the Liberal's multi technology mix is not so affectionately known as Malcolm Turnbull's Mess in IT circles. Why in god's name they decided buying Telstra's cr*ppy copper as well as forcing NBN Co' to pay for remediation works when Telstra had to pay the costs before just goes to show why bean counters should be shot if they even look in the direction of IT based projects. I am really glad I don't have to deal with the budget's any more, some of the half ars*d rules accountants come up with, I'm sure it's because they need to justify their jobs.
