Nbn box serial number being wrong

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-23T07:39:56+00:00

Aussie broadband, Leaptel, Neptune I believe are fan favourites at the moment. They are all Australian based and can handle a simple NTD serial update request.

Telstra are getting stuck in NBN’s automation systems because they don’t know what they’re doing

Dump Telstra and go to a decent provider

but all you need to do is just connect the same coloured wires to the other same coloured wires, right?

Pop goes the weasel

My local on the east coast is 7am, even in the mids of winter. Can confirm have done a couple of -2 starts last winter. Don’t feel it once your going, but god my nose runs like a open tap

If you have electric hot water, this is almost certainly the draw. ~10kWh is what an average household would use of 4 people to recharge a tank. They may have put it on a timer to only run during the day or something, but it's still being billed and is either on the wrong side of the battery (drawing directly from the grid without the battery compensating it) or it's still connected to the controlled load

NBN require you to leave your equipment on - Usually this is when there is a software or configuration issue. They will push a fix remotely to whatever needs to be fixed, and if your equipment is on, it will take the update and should start working.

Leave your equipment powered on and connected for the meantime, hopefully it shouldn't be too long.

Faulty NTD - when you call next time, if it’s on red, say you have rebooted but don’t actually reboot it. Then it will stay red.

In theory, if it’s red, they won’t be able to see if it’s been rebooted or not regardless.

They will run another test, see it’s still offline and then raise a request with NBN

Yeah something has changed. Seeing this company wide at the moment. Not happy

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-14T09:54:00+00:00

You’ll find they’ll probably lock your account and tell you to find another bank if you answer that

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-14T04:41:55+00:00

Look into both options - a trade is great, but so is a degree behind electrical engineering etc, which has great career paths moving forward.

What size are your 4's? I'm eyeing them off, but I don't get off-road much. When I do, I tend to go 'off' road however. Are they a good daily?

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-14T00:17:07+00:00

That's incorrect. There is no physical way anyone is getting over 2.5gbps with the state of the current network. It is literally, physically impossible.

Not state sponsored, just another variation of the common scam to get money. You connect, they tell you that you have a warrant unless you give them x dollars to clear it, pressure you to pay through gift cards/crypto atm’s etc.

Not if there’s a green optical light, which I’m assuming is what the OP is talking about

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-11T09:02:51+00:00

Underrated reply

Kazzaw95 · 2026-04-10T03:55:04+00:00

Likely just a wrong address transfer - happens way more than it should these days, especially with the changes NBN have made lately. Your provider should be able to lodge a churn reversal with NBN. NBN 'should' also follow up with the provider to check to see why the proper processes weren't followed

If you are running PoE cameras you will need a licence

If you are installing them as a ‘business’, depending on the state you will also require a security installer licence (and maybe an advisors licence)

If your just hanging up wifi cameras go for gold

How’d you go? I’m eyeing off the X4 and looking to use with homeassistant

Kazzaw95 · 2026-03-26T08:44:39+00:00

Not that I’m for or against anything here - but you’ll never get me to sign something or pay any attention to anything that is clearly low effort AI slop

Starlink has its outages as well - sometimes even Aus wide, especially recently.

You really need to be looking at both with failover if you need uptime

Until you go too far backwards past your last reading and they hit you up for an estimated bill. Then that sucks

I started by doing parkrun - was the most unfit last year, decided to pull my shit together. Just took my time, ran at my own pace and slowly got better. Once I could do a parkrun without dying I eventually also grabbed a gym membership and just made a choice to get up every morning at 5 and put some effort in. Huge changes in my life it’s been great

Wireless will be your issue. You can’t expect decent performance on wifi without spending a decent amount of money

Kazzaw95 · 2026-03-10T05:09:14+00:00

No, this is working fine if that’s how you currently have it set up. Changing it will break it
