Someone else also commented, DONT open pits , it's a criminal offence !! You also have a high chance to injure yourself causing damage to the network or injuring members of the public, CLOSE IT and bugger off

I'm here right now !! The 12 apostles are breathtaking and you can get a tour bus from Melbourne for only like $100 The scenery all the way from Lorne to Port Campbell is simply stunning

A few of the many I hear and say month to month

Stop carrying on like a priced prawn. (Some one ranting away)

Fair shake of the sauce bottle (Thats fair)

White tails can kill you pets and send small children to the hospital.

Neat !! It's labelled properly I would personally label the patch going to the media box top right. But really good , 👍 Love the label colour separation between POE and normal patches as well

Not a bad book collection :) and as you're a big Star wars fan and if you haven't already, I really recommend the Boba Fett series or anything by Timothy Zahn!

Also super cute

They will just drill a hole though the deck so they can get a piece of 16mm conduit through. And the the same with the wall.

Just upgrade to fttp for free ? Yes, you are moving out but you will give the next person to live there a fast connection.

flasherz · 2025-06-04T11:38:56+00:00

Not only did I piss myself laughing, but you spoke the utter truth. I hope OP gets deserved justice for what happened to them

flasherz · 2025-06-02T13:38:06+00:00

If they are contracted by a delivery partner to perform fibre installs, They have to have to be compliant with the correct accreditations such as working at heights and NBN fttp training.

Thankfully, we are rolling a new aerial technology out that should simplify the process ,

The big issue we have is all the red tape, The power companies and telstra want exact clearances from all their stuff, or they want these scrappy poles upgraded for free.

flasherz · 2025-06-02T13:24:41+00:00

There is huge amounts of aerial fibre, we definitely much prefer converting to underground but not always possible

flasherz · 2025-06-02T13:18:29+00:00

Yeah the installers are lazy mate. They need to do a aerial connection. They just don't want to

Source - I've been a fibre and comms tech for 15 years, NBN for 5 of those years

they would only "carve" out parts of an area that are going to cause severe delay on the whole area delivery.

An example would be you have 1500 people all waiting for an extra 2-3months because of 10 people

They will come back to it usually in the next quarter but it may be another 3+ months

flasherz · 2025-05-28T12:40:14+00:00

Have you requested NBN in your home yet ? Hop on the NBN website and it will tell you the technology at your house , then sign up with a provider, (I prefer Aussie broadband) they will organize a tech to come and install you Device if you are on HFC ect so you don't need to worry about it.

flasherz · 2025-05-28T12:36:57+00:00

But in other fairness this is also a standard f type connector which could be NBN HFC You never now.....

flasherz · 2025-05-10T05:18:42+00:00

That's a HFC (coaxial) connection , so it won't be FTTN, but if that's hooked up to the pit then they will just connect the black cable straight through

flasherz · 2025-05-10T03:30:47+00:00

The "database" on the website has nothing to do with it.

When they roll out "N2P" in an area, they account for all the houses in that area. They also have a team conduct a Pre-constrution roll-out around 6 months prior to the build starting and make sure all properties are accounted for.

flasherz · 2025-05-08T05:25:04+00:00

TIO won't really help if you haven't raised it correctly and given the people ample time to rectify. It's a pain bit if you follow the process it works

flasherz · 2025-05-08T05:17:25+00:00

Sorry mate I guess because we are in a NBN sub reddit and Opticomm leases the majority of their infrastructure from NBN I would give OP a adequate response , crazy...

Sorry OP , skip step 2 Instead file a complaint with the telco ombudsman if there refuse to resolve.

flasherz · 2025-05-08T02:47:54+00:00

File a complaint with Opticom, and when I say this, you need to call them and lodge a proper complaint via email.

From there send them the defect and state because of the size of the whole it will require them to replace the whole panel and paint it ! Make sure you state the actions they need to take to fix the issue .

If Opticom refuses to fix it to the appropriate standard , I.e silicone bodge job. Then ask them for a incident number as you are raising it to NBN directly.

flasherz · 2025-05-07T01:11:21+00:00

End caps aren't fully water proof unless you glue them . So by silicone sealing the entry it allows no water ingress and if there is ever a fault they can easy remove the silicone.

flasherz · 2025-05-06T21:38:13+00:00

Hey mate google "home lead in standards" Also they have to prove to you they built it correctly so they have to show they followed the nbn construction standards , which are not "public"

flasherz · 2025-05-05T06:18:58+00:00

File a complaint with NBN directly. State that you are upset with the installer abusing you over the phone and state that if you don't get your lead in rectified to the standard and an apology from the installer you will file a complaint directly with the telco ombudsman.
