Fibre To The Building you meant - Riley

1:36 swearing? SECURE A COM! After all these years I could watch your videos, You decided to swear! How dare you!

0:26 that is not FTTN! See, FTTN uses a regular surface node. FTTC is underground with a reverse powered DPU - Riley

Definitely a fit bugger digging that by hand!

Im with Aussie Broadband here in Caringbah. Left Optus ages ago they are terrible. Good video jason.

The dial gizmo is 100% legit. All it does is covert the pulse dials to tones for OUTGOING calls. I found with mine the rj11 to 610 adapter was causing the phone not to ring. As a previous poster wrote you need to jumper the red and the black wires inside the adapter.Upon opening mine I found that it was wired incorrectly the pairs where swapped. Had dial tone but no ring. Once I swapped the green and the white wires to pins 6 and 5 and jumpered it’s ringing all be it a bit quiet. Measured across the ringing coil inside the phone. My FTTP modem is only supplying 17 volts at max but it still rings!! Now I reckon I might buy one of those dooohickeys so I can call out for nostalgia 😂😂😂 Don’t discount a product because you don’t understand it or how analog phones need to be wired.

Facing similar issue is this related to nbn or the provider? I am new to sydney and i am not sure on whats going on. My provider is Vodafone and its been more than a week without any resolution from their end. My only concern is if am switching the provider to lets say '"Aussie broadband" will the issue gets fixed? Please help sir

I've been having issues with my connection recently. I ran a test on TPG's website and it said it identified an issue. An NBN tech came out the day after and told me the signal at the pit was way too weak and that someone would need to come out and adjust it later. 10 minutes later while he's running a test on the modem he goes the signal has fixed itself and now they won't be coming out to do any work because the test has been passed at some stage. He was a good bloke, he had 13 more 2 hour jobs assigned to him and he still took his time testing everything thoroughly, he tried to message them and explain that the issue's we've been having are intermittent and that the signal is likely to blame but they just completely ignored him. What good is that? And sure enough, still having problems days later but I can't talk to NBN myself I have to ring up TPG and wait on the phone for hours just to get a hold of someone.

I gave up those big telcos ages ago 👎, and signed up with a small ISP.

I'm an ex Telstra contractor and have been caught in this situation many times. Before the NBN roll out and Telstra still owned the Network it was the customers or the home owners responsibility to provide a 400mm deep trench from the house to the property boundary. Telstra would then install the P20 conduit in the trench and do whatever was needed on the footpath to get the service connected. You can't run a lead-in cable through the Neighbour's roof to the unit that you are trying to connect for security reasons.

This guy just does his own thing. Don't worry about the rules

OMG

Hey mate. I have FTTP, have been with Telstra Velocity for 9 years, no issues at all, was perfect. Network got upgraded to Opticomm, I'm on a gigabit plan. Speed is perfect, but I get micro disconnections every 8-12 mins. I sold my expensive router and bought an even better one($1300) Exactly the same problem, but same brand router. Tried running a cheaper tp-link router to test but couldn't get it to connect. Are you on Perth? I need someone to help me out here. Essentially same thing, alot of variation, and the massive prike disconnect

LMAO.

Thanks for your case sharing 😀 it is really useful for me to make the right choice

look at the specs of the Asus mesh I am confident Ethernet 100mbps, WIFI 300mbps. I got similar mesh system, Ethernet is not Gigabit port.

I haven't looked back to using FTTC since 2022, better to go full fibre upgrade, now my white NBN connection box is nothing but a useless souvenir which NBN hasn't yet asked for it back?

NBN are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with, useless doesn’t do it justice.

This technology types desperately need FTTP upgrade? FTTN should never have been used for NBN in the first place.

keep doing these videos bro

I had this same problem on FTTP with Aussie BB. I switched to Exetel and had no problems ever since!

They do work but the incoming ring needs to come from your voip. Its probably the gizmo is only 2 wire with the pld phone being 3rd wire for the bell, just connect wire 3 to one leg of the 2 wire. Its also possible that the ringing current may not be powerful enough for the bell

I have one of these in my front yard. All banged up standing diagonally, cover half off and wires all exposed. I connected to NBN last week (FTTN) and was curious what would happen when it rained. Well internet went out, so I reported it to NBN thinking it was their asset. They came our the following day due to safety concerns of exposed wires and conducted a partial repair. Then they called me the following day and realised its actually Telstra's asset and I'd need them to finish the job! Kind of funny they half repaired it before realising the mistake. I've now contacted Telstra. Not expecting much but hopefully someone will come out.

You're right on one count. The dialgizmo isn't ACMA approved. I approached the company some time ago and they openly admitted it. Their market is international and not worth their while faffing around with our bureaucracy. If Australians want to buy one it's one their head. Saying they they certainly can convert the rotary dial pulses to DTMF to dial out on NBN. You're wrong on everything else. The NBN modem telephone/voice port can handle something like REN3 which means any old analogue mechanical bell phone will work. Similarly the phone will transmit and receive speech. More than likely you haven't configured the phone bell cct. In old 800 series phone installations, there was a strap in the wall socket that enabled the bell. When the phone was unplugged this connection was lost. You need to open the phone and reconfigure the straps inside.

How to find a short in a telephone line

I'm in this situation now... moving into a grannyflat that's seperate property tomorrow. Separate water, electricity, post, driveway, etc. FTTP to the main house in front, but no NBN to my place. It's insane. I have to get garbage 4G fixed wireless (no 5g coverage) which was good about... 15 years ago. 25mbps max, and probably half that in practice.

Having the same issue now with optus. NBN techs come out say it's an bridge issue ., can't find the join. Go out to the road and find a fault outside..but still blame it on the bridge tap. Argh

Am I the only person who had to watch this a few times because I got distracted looking at the BluRay & Wii game collection?

Had the same issue in Tullamarine Victoria for years. An entire court of office/warehouse buildings lost NBN internet every time it rained. Techs would come out, acknowledge the problem (pit looked like this one) and say they would send some one to sort out the pit. Every time NBN would close issue as resolved. We ended up putting a plastic tub with concrete edging over the pit to solve the issue and it worked perfectly for the 3 years till I left.

You should have connected to the router with your phone or laptop Jason and checked its settings. It could be a security setting on the customers device, such as a VPN set to allow only certain apps or sites. Router settings like QoS can cut speeds by half.

Old pulse phones here in the UK work inbound and outbound. All this is for is to enable you to use tones so you can use a telephone menu.

ZOOM out on your camera when video recording mate. just am fyi. have it say... 0.5 scale maybe 0.7 . that records with wider angle and will look better when viewed on tv/pc or whatever. right now as you walk about its too zoomed in to right in front of you that you we can visualise the whole area . not meaning to sound padentic but i thought it may help out get better viewing experience bro. but yeah good info , I'm a cabler new to the industry. thanks

1 year later did you find the issue?

Aussie Broadband provides great customer service and good service during my time with them. However, customers should also consider Leaptel, a smaller player known for their outstanding customer care and service. Currently with them, I can attest to their great customer support and service. They also have a great new customer discount. Also there is a provider Launtel offers a great option for customers seeking daily rates with the ability to go up and down speed at will and a prepaid-like NBN service, coupled with good customer service.

In other news the leaf in the pit looks like a map of Australia. Just saying

Hi Jason, I have had no luck getting optus to remove an old overhead broadband cable for me (Im not an optus customer) Any issue with cutting the cable or disconnecting from the box and wrapping around the pole? I am in Sydney Australia

I am having the EXACT same issue with AGL right now. Changed to AGL on Monday and it has been dropping out ever since. When it does drop out, all the lights are on on the modem as they should be. Solid internet, wifi, etc. But I cannot login to the router via the ISP when it drops out. AGL have been sooooooo f'ing frustrating! And it takes hours on their chats to do something and then they get to the end of their shift and leave you and tell you to monitor overnight. F'ck me!!! AGL are useless

This shit is happening to me right now. Nobody wants to take responsibility. So fucking annoying.

Hello everyone. Does anyone know which devices goes where? The UBB XG US comes with Station and Access Point, what's the difference?

Someone didn't clean the cable 😮‍💨

You can't sack them, most are contractors and that's what they walked into. 😏 Ex Telstra staff 🤣

God I wish you guys serviced my town... So many troubles!

Question - If i have to get a LEAD-IN CONDUIT put in my property, should i get that ran before i get a NBN box put on my house?

I have 2 homes I’ve bought in South Australia, one of them has ADSL2+, and the other has BigPond Cable 1TB

There is nothing wrong here!!! What your seeing in logs files is standard - nothing to worry about. Your NBN router has not been hacked! You phone was compromised, your Apple-ID needs to be reset and passwords changed. You equipment is fine - reset everything to factory default, then enter details.

This is NORMAL. All fucked. I replaced my lead-in completely 6 years ago, because of waterlogging. The gel-affected cable was left in coles bags. When EDC/Telstra came through the area, they removed all of it and just taped and butted. In my service, 5 joints were dumped in the bottom of the pit. Had been like that since 2005 - Prior to NBNco. I rebuilt about 200 pairs around here for free because of that shitty gel. Went from having no service, to about 12Mb/sec on 980M. We ended up having the job for fibre here and I've got reconnected.

Great work Jason. No tip toeing just tell them how it is! 👏

Great work Jason! 👊

as an nbn tech, i must tell you, in some circumstances some of these joints are not water proof anymore due to damage or puncture and sometimes its useless to put the cap back even worse as it might keep the water in for long time and rott the connectors, have you done a graphic tdr test to locate where the fault is? fttn is a long distance and there would be at leat 3 or 4 of these joints between socket and pillar, secondly he can apply to n2p upgrade as clearly fibre in the pit and nbn recently told us not to rehabilitate copper joints. lastly it is the job for every tech to make sure joints are reclosed, the last tech who attended didn't follow the process
