I am getting NBN fibre to the home. To help out the NBN guys I am installing the internal conduit that will be used to pull the fibre inside.

When I saw that this documentary featured none other than our friend Mr Dunning Kruger, I had to watch it immediately!

We’ll done. Love the vacuum idea sucking the line through…never thought of that. Makes things a lot simpler.

The explanation of the conduit sizes was well received by me. I was looking and wondering why the sizes were all over the place.

I’ve just had the FTTP guys out. They wouldn’t do anything. Won’t go on the roof, in the roof. We need to run conduit from one side of the house to the other side. No specs were provided on conduit size. No help was given, they just went away. A great start.

The mugs that ran the conduit for our FTTP didn't glue the conduit for the fibre. It is necessary. Turns out, mice love the taste of fibre sheathing. We found that out during COVID lockdown when the kids and the resident teacher couldn't WFH.

At 12:20 I assume the cut after "Oop" was due to the amount of swearing needed to rescue the dropped conduit out of the wall cavity 🤣

Any tips for actually finding where the old copper conduit comes to? I've never had ADSL or FTTN at this home (on iiNet HFC, non-NBN). Will all houses have an underground conduit or am I on a wild goose chase? I found an old orange looking oval telstra cap just sitting on the ground, but I can't for the life of me find where it came from.

Usually next to the Power box and your boundary with neighbour whose lead in is close to your side of the house , Mind many suburbs are different

@jarkiro 11 ай бұрын

thanks for the response, I worked out it's an aerial lead in for the old phone line. Not sure if NBN will still use aerial or run a new underground line... makes it impossible to plan for. @@Rusty_Gold85

@TwistedVisionsPtyLtd 8 ай бұрын

Properties will have either an aerial drop cable that comes in via the power poles, or underground via a lead-in conduit (LIC). A lot of the older inner city suburbs may only have a 10mm LIC as it was the standard 60+ years ago. A lot of LIC’s just go directly under the house and aren’t visible from the outside. The majority will be run to the side of your property, look at your property on either side and the one that you can see will usually mean that yours will be on that side too.

Hey mate about to get my FTTP installed. I suppose you wouldn't be able to give me tips as to what conduit I can or can't use so I can put the termination box where i desire? Can i grab any conduit I want and run it to the place i'm hoping to install?

Have to use white 20mm communications conduit. You can get it at bunnings

Hey guys, any tips on what sort of glue to use? I've run the P20 conduit from side of the house to boundary of the property at 400mm deep. First NBN tech told me don't worry about glueing it but this comment section making me re-think it. Been waiting ages for appointment so prefer not to get knocked back.

How do you pull cables through after the string in conduit?

@zanetaylor8803 4 ай бұрын

Depending on who’s running cable will either tie jet line (string) certain way with heap of electrical tape or use a hauling sock and still use heap load of duct tape to secure sock on cable and heap to secure jet line to sock.

@zanetaylor8803 4 ай бұрын

But since it’s very small conduit build. Push it thought wall from outside to wall box. Pull it all out and push it up conduit

So installing the conduit is the owners cost right?

@cam_934 4 ай бұрын

Don't expect the NBN with these FTTP upgrades to locate the NBN NCD to your preferred location as they can be time consuming and expensive, they will likely put it at the most coinvent location for themself. You can arrange to have the correct conduit/bends/amount of bends installed if you want the NBN NCD in some other location.

Dont ever use orange conduit for communications EVER

@tmillerau 21 күн бұрын

Stop calling it nbn or telstra conduit!! Its communication conduit and the only difference is the multiple OD sizes you can purchase

@jim8395 18 күн бұрын

Hi mate, thanks for your comment. It is NBN conduit as it is made for there specs. Comms conduit is same size dimension as electrical conduit. NBN conduit is different and is labelled and sold as NBN conduit from the wholesaler. I guess it is comms conduit but if everyone calls in NBN conduit including the people making it, I would say it is NBN conduit!
