      i got this c/o and found there $10 cheaper www.letsbemates.com.au/
      no worrys but 1st up getting NBN connected took 2 MONTHS of crap in 2018 ever since been great 🥇👍
      i upgraded from 50/20 $69 speeds which was great to 100/40 $79 but Live alone so real difference most servers are still slow 5ms d/loads if that best i got 5% d/load 8ms but whats is 5mits while watching youtube waiting
      Best if a family has 3-5 using nbn

  • @noelcarter
    @noelcarter 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Good advice, Pat, from one who has been there. Check your max speed rate, before upgrading to a faster plan. I went from a 50 plan to 100, which brought a speed increase of about 5 Mbps. A call to my isp brought the advice that my line was incapable of 100, so I should go back to a 50-plan, to avoid stressing the line and causing dropouts, etc. The rub: they charged me $29 to revert the plan. I later learned how to check the max rate. Lesson learned!

    • @noelcarter
      @noelcarter 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I must mention that speeds were down recently and a check of max line speed also showed a drop, however, a call to my isp flowed-on to NBNco finding an increasing line fault. Moving my service to an unused pair restored the speed to 46/47. Very happy with their service!

  • @anonanon7278
    @anonanon7278 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thank you for using the correct term "Fibre to the Premises", instead of "Fibre to the Premise".
    A "premise" is a previous statement or proposition, from which another is inferred, or follows as a conclusion; OR, the basis for undertaking a body of work.
    The word "premise" is not the singular of ""premises", and is actually a logical concept, which makes it impossible to connect a physical fibre to it.

    I found my wire connecting point on the outside of the house, removed all wires and soldered in as doubled up pairs brand new shielded cat6 cable whitch I then ran through my loft space directly to the NBN router.
    Speed acheived 97mbs on FTN with TPG, this is even more amazing as I am 350m from the Node and I'm in FNQ.
    Soldering instead of using dry connections did seem to make a difference, as did using sheilded cable. I don't think doubleing the pairs actually helped at all.

  • @dibrentley7915
    @dibrentley7915 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have FTTC I found the NBN connection box overheads if its placed on a table. Then it will disconnect but the modem will still say its connected. So if your having problems ensure there is air going around your connection box.
    2. I ended up putting a cat6 cable from the nbn pit to the house to one point.
    3. Check your NBN pit. My equipment was sitting in the bottom of the pit in MUD. The electrician made up a mount to get it up off the bottom of the pit.
    My internet company iinet was pretty useless as they never ONCE mentioned the connection box maybe over heating!
    Im on the 50mbps plan generally get 47mpbs peak times over wifi so Im pretty happy with that.
    Tech assures me I could get 100mps np. (im the only one on the nbn line ) so yeah overall very happy with NBN but it did cost me 1300 bucks to lay the cat 6 cable underground. 180metres.

  • @GivesAMinute

  • @kristaki06
    @kristaki06 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I live in Perth WA northern Suburbs where NBN is at the tail end of install for WA, therefor I just got NBN acouple weeks ago & was annoyed as our ADSL+2 (14mbps/0.4mbps^) speed wasn't even doubled (20.4mbps/4^)...after being put on NBN.. well.. it gets close now [24.46mpbs/5.7^] but only after a day of stuffing around with it, something a tech should have done (remove telstra splitter/filter with Wall to Modem&Phone line). Not blaming TPG they have been way better then Telstra ever was for support. We went for a 50mbps Tier due to our house being 5 years old & having NBN ready along with some "SMART" wiring, I thought it was a safe bet. Lo & be hold we got FTTN where I was at least expecting FTTC as all the surrounding homes were display homes only a short time ago. Anyway any advice as TPG doesnt have a Tier for 25mbps? is it worth swapping to Aussie Braodband? as they do have the correct Tier? or is it worth trying to complain to NBN Co to upgrade a sloppy 24mbps MAX connection? I just Binge watched most of your NBN vids it's good to see someone doing this to help people understand a topic that really should have been made more simple. Thanks in Advance.

    • @TechManPat
      @TechManPat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If your line cant hit more than 25, you might just want to pay less, also I would get TPG to check your full line potential, and if you are sure your in home wiring is perfect then there is not much more you can do. Also AussieBB has much better support in general, what iiNet used to be.

  • @peterblackmore7560
    @peterblackmore7560 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi TechManPat - FTTC is the development of what was called "skinny fibre". As you correctly point out, FTTC is a better solution than FTTN. The Government could not have "led with that" initially because it did not exist at the time. NBN commissioned the first FTTC DPUs from an Australian company which was soon bought out by a USA company. The NBN rollout of FTTC was the FIRST large scale rollout of this technology in the world!

      To answer your question Tofue, your are getting max speed already, youll find your on the 50/20 NBN plan, which will average at 44/17. Just call your provider and upgrade to the 100/40, which will run at about 94/35.

    Thanks, I got the 2 incoming phone wires from the street, disconnected them from the house wiring and used cat6 to connect straight to router using cat 6 in line joiner and then ethernet to phone plug cable and nbn went from 10.5mbps to 19.8mbps.

  • @jasonhowe1697
    @jasonhowe1697 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    sadly you can rewire from the pit access to wherever you plug the router into
    you can do a fttc/fttk install though as long as you don't 50-65/75 meters you should be able to 10Gbit ethernet..
    however if you got the cash to waste you will max 400/400 with a router that take in 4 internet sources..
    if you symmetric you pay through the ose for it..
    note you are liimited to the speed long term you can get from the cable in the pit which is cat-3 or less in specification which run from 0.45-0.18mm with the metro average being between 0.40-0.22mm

  • @markjames3393

    Always check that the line cord to the modem isn’t coiled up. The looped wires create an inductance, basically a low-pass filter which attenuates the DSL signal.

    Are there service level standards for the NBN? Our crap NBN needs to be held accountable and the first step is to publish service level standards for speed and uptime. As an ex IT person, I had to meet those standards. How's about the NBN?

    • @Agret
      @Agret 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The service standard is that you must be able to attain 15mbps on NBN. If you are only getting 15mbps on a higher plan like the 50mbps plan then the provider must downgrade you to the 25mbps plan and refund you the difference for the previous billing period. If you actually want a higher speed than what you're getting you're SOL. Have to buy an expensive 4G/5G mobile broadband modem and pay the higher costs on that.

      The thing is that there are safety issues that can be quite dangerous when working around electrical cables especially in the roof space and walls. The cables are insulated but, if that insulation is damaged, you could have 240v running through your phone cable or through you !! That is why we study and are trained to do this work.

      You can’t mitigate stupidity. A home owner who is stupid will do a terrible job. A home owner who has educated themselves will do a great job. A registered cabler will do a variable job. You get good cablers and you get so-so cablers and you get terrible ones. I see no difference other than the homeowner’s good job is illegal whereas the registered cabler’s isn’t illegal.

    wouldnt recomend the loacls trying to wire their own house tho as yeah ive seen heaps of red and black pairs being used like in my own house and also they arnt going to use scotch locks and all the rest of it. also probs wont follow the laws of keeping 100mm distance bettwen power cables as its a safty law and a good pratice to limit outside interference. not to mention the old telstra shit normally breaks the second you do anything to it and or your house might not use the oldschool fittings and be on more of a rj45 jack type wall socket that you need correct tools to mess with.

    though the main difference between as long as you aren't exceeding 100 meters in cable length 1gbit is doable, and with 75 meters or less 10gbit is done over lan/wan connection.
    though to be robust you would look to fois with infinite speed upgrade into the 100's on Gbits to promote 10gbit or higher across the home networks, though you still have to consider some form of second line under fois traveling a different route back to the exchange and also have some form of wireless backup service whether 4g-lte/5g, air fiber or satellite is used as part of the reserve communications network
    fttc and fttn are a failure point in this regard
    at this stage you could replace the cable from the pit access to the demarcation point you plug router into with cat-6a though you signal loss from whatever is servicing the pit access.. in the street.

    FTTN simple logic near the node it's fast, far from the node it's slow plus the dropouts.

    fttc is a placement designation of the same hardware that is in the fttn cabinet however you are likely looking at wan gateways aggregate the connection the max user support would roughly give you 16 internet services per pit access..
    so the max per household 400x160 as this would give you 4 vdsl connections per household
    As someone who played with 2x adsl connections back in the day, it was up to the chipset of the modem to what speed you could get..
    unsupported routers typically gave you the best speed over distance ..
    with a wan connection to within 100 meters or less 10Gbit could be achieved however if you were supporting 10Gb as a standard within the home I could see the reality that FTTC would be a waste of money to deploy only having to within a 12-18 month's to support the delivery of ftth and north of 200Gbit connection to support upto 10-40Gbit lan connection whether this be served with cat-6a or fibre throughout the home...
    it isn't the splitting of the signal that kills the speed of your internet connection it is the service line from the lead-in and often cat-3 service lines which impacts you connection speeds..
    This is why telstra mandated cat-5/cat-5E as a mandatory install on new homes..
    A splitter would only interfere a 1-2mb data loss and was known to cause telephone interference ..
    with the current nbn vdsl service you come into the situation of having no dial tone on the service which causes issues in fault finding..
    noting that speed loss can also be card through the connector..
    and testing sites can give you a suggestive connection speed which means to get a proper speed value it needs to the only thing in operation on the network though i would likely rely on what the router tells you on what speed you are connecting at vs the bullshit stability guide telstra care to publish

    Sorry... all these acronyms does my head in. After a while I figured what all meant, however HFC totally lost me.
    I am not on NBN yet but according to Telstra we will be getting Fixed WiFi. Whatever that means for line speed compared to my current ADSL2+.

    Understand this you may be in a legal issues under the FTTC/FTTK>fttn framework unlike fttn where it has its own power you might be powering external to your premises ..
    telstra mandated cat-5e a min install 15 or so years ago, if not running cat-6 or cat-6a you be a fool, note if quite fttc within or 100 meters or less you should likely be on the routers wan connection instead of adsl/vdsl connection

    u miss a lot of other issues people have. I am lucky I am close to a node great speed tests but suffer drop outs not from distance or setup but from bad copper wire, Hellstra chose to input that jelly type substance into that ruined so many lines trust me we have Hellstra visit often and they are given no permission to fix it and just patch it so it seems to work again, I am sure this was not just WA wide. I am 100x nbn and am close enough to FTTN I receive this 90%+of each and every day B0 Line Rate - Upstream (Kbps): 40993
    B0 Line Rate - Downstream (Kbps): 94436 but the copper dropouts sometimes none a day to a max of 10-15 per day is crap. Yes I paid a private entity to check our lines when it works we are lucky approx 80% of the time but 20% is a piss take of modem reboots voip disconnects etc we have issues here beyond just this vid but TY for those it may help

    • @TechManPat
      @TechManPat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the reply, I wonder have you tried a different provider? I had drop outs with iiNet and swapped to Aussie broadband and do not anymore. But yes you are right there is much more to it.

    • @recurvebees4092
      @recurvebees4092 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Currently with Aussie Broadband love their communication with clients and general service but there is only so much they can do, with FTTN Our internet works 80+% every day but we still suffer from similar issues ADSL2+ gave us (drops outs even telstra claimed was water on lines or some other excuse that mystery Gel) I just wish FTTH was the chosen path by both parties as the more we hear the worse it gets the further away you are from that special box ;) I can't complain we get close to FTTH results even on FTTN as we are so close but I feel for others further down the line.

    NO u dont do DIY on phonelines cos it u short out the lines, the exchange will detect it and shut off the voltage to ur house. New houses for last 15 years the black leadin goes to a grey box on the side of ur house, from there it goes to ie the kitchen via a beige 2 pair cable and then daisy chains to other rooms in the house paralleling the blue and white... red black is for a 2nd line. Older houses are either underground to the slab or into a cavity under ur house going to kitchen generally, aerial networks strung to facia of house into small white oval box then wired into a room and daisy chained from there. NBN is responsible to first socket in the house, a licenced cabler can tap off there to other outlets in house. The cabler should not go into grey box on side of the house. There should be no joints in mid span of the cable cos it causes faults, the old yellow sockets should all be replaced due to corrosion.... old telephone cable oxidises so it should also be replaced.

    the most popular isp providers are just too populated in relation to how much bandwidth they have. the less well known providers will have less bandwidth. but less customers. but beware. some less well known isp companies may just pay for bandwidth from the more popular isp and then on sell to you.

    As a couple of others have said it is illegal for anyone to do any cabling works that is intended to connect to a carrier network unless said person is a registered cabler with appropriate endoursements.
    Please add into your video this information into your video instead of the "it's not electrical work".

    Do some actual research BEFORE posting about something you clearly have NFI about.
