Have you tried ‘disconnecting’ from some of those sites for 30minutes.

So we’ve been promised by NBN Co since I moved in that we will get connected. They give us a date, the date passes and we get given a new date. Rinse and repeat 4times over.
So they came out and dug 70 metres of trench and did their thing. Only thing is that their trench was barely 100mm in depth. Guess they’ll be coming back and doing it again.

Lead in trench depth to single swelling premise is min. 300mm .Quote:

Looks like to me they rushed it just to get a tick off their list.

Yep, 600mm from memory, minimum, conduit should be laid on a bed of sand,50mm, then covered in 100mm sand, laid over the top should be a plastic tape red/white stripe from memory to alert to cable below, then back filled with 26mm minus stone and then native earth. Its pretty vulnerable on the edge of the driveway, let alone at 100mm deep.. I am guessing they couldn't be stuffed checking for deeper services so went this shallow. I know a contractor who does trenching work for the NBN and he goes at least 600mm, and not for engineering reasons, more because he gets paid by the metre and hour, so its in his interest to go deep and slow!!
Pffft... thats what you get from a team of 457 visas and a garden trowel.
If you leave some conduit exposed everyone can see it so you don't need warning tape
You would have got it cabled correctly if it was Aussies but on a beaut day like that they had all called in sick and went fishing
So reading the info, Mudski is responsible for the digging of the trench.
If your provider has advised that digging a trench is required to connect to the nbn™ access network, it's the premises owner's responsibility to organise a qualified person to dig a trench according to the specifications in the nbn™ Lead-in Trenching Requirements guide.
Did you organise the trench Mark or did the NBN contractor do it? I am unsure what the arrangement is.
Not sure thats correct PeeBee. I'm under the impression that NBNCo have the responsibility to prove cable to a point at the "house" where the box is going to go.Quote:

I was there helping Mark fit his rear Patrol bar on, when the bloke from NBN showed up and said we're coming next week to dig the trench and whatever else has to be done to get you hooked up.
EDIT:
BUT.......... who knows. Mudski may get a bill for the job somewhere down the line. I would not be surprised one bit.
The text above is clear Hodgey, if the process is followed, the house owner runs the trench from the boundary to the connection point where the cable enters the house itself. However, the NBN has probably hit the hurdle that owners either cant be stuffed doing it, paying for it or organising it, so the NBN contractor runs it anyway. This quote is a direct cut and paste of the doc you put up, which is a good one for sure.
Either way, its not to the required standard, so an interesting conversation tomorrow no doubt!
It is definitely contradicting to whats happened at Mark's place. But maybe they just wanted the job done and tick it off the list to close off the area.Quote:

NBN has to do the trench in most cases.
The owner has to do some/all trenching only if they are relocating or adding services.
But, either way that trench isn't Mudski's issue... if outside the boundary
Quote
You must not dig the trench outside the boundary of your premises, e.g. in a public footway, roadway or in neighbouring premises. Trenching outside your premises is subject to land access code requirements and is nbn's responsibility.
No way that conduit is to code , sec is 600mm min ,all else from memory is between the 600 -400 and that conduit is shonky as and makes me wonder how many homes this contractor has done .
Min depth is 300 on private property (agree that elec is different but I'm a comms guy not a sparktrician so not 100%)... 450 if going under paths/driveways.
Different again if direct buried or shared trench with other comms and again if shared with elec.
IIRC Mudski mates trench looks like on originally private shared long driveway dual occupancy split. First real thought career for me was trenching, grundomat below before open cut always preferred for SEC, GasnFuel and Cable Tele. Back then houses/units at the rear IIRC were at own paid run unlike the front joint?

Sorry, I thought this was down the side of his driveway? I don't know the layout of the block.Quote:

Little bit off track, years back, services to rear blocks in Vic as best can remember: 600 power/450 water/ 300 telcoms and legal spreads can’t remember. Poor bugger concrete cutting demo saw bloke removing a granny flat pathway blew his hands (red-black bars) clean off the Stihl from some 10 year ago lazy arse sparky at 100mm. Conduit imprints were still within the slab when we all removed it :-(

Yeah saw this first hand when up on Groote Eylandte with BHP, some clown buried the fibre optic cables 150mm deep, and years later the local landscapers came thru, no dial before you dig up there, and ripped them up when digging holes for new garden beds! Put comms down for 2 weeks as they had to find a tech willing to go there, plus they had to tear up a long length and bury it a lot deeper. It was simply buried without a conduit - bare cable! Funny thing was its termite country and they love PVC cables to munch on, so I guess the mine dodged a bullet by finding the problem before having a colony slowly munch their way the the cable outer in multiple locations.
Yes it is on my property and down the side of my driveway Phil. If I was informed that I had to dig the trench, which I wasn't, I would have. I even offered NBN co in one of my rants to them on their FB page to dig the trench. On more than one occasion I was told my the contractors that they were to dig the trench.Quote:

Yeah, we used to Grundo anything up to single driveways (if no other services) and Directional Bore everything else.
Bloody Grundomat shot can have a mind of their own where they deflect off too at times tho... 9 out of 10 times it is where they can cause the most damage :-)
I'll try and dig up some photos of incidents I've attended to over the years, where demo saws , Saber saws, crow bars, ditch witches , star spikes , and other instruments that were not rated to 22kV , and the user found that out the hard way.Quote:

So I've been speaking with NBN co today and they said this ain't right and have lodged a claim or whatever its called and given me a number. I get home today and both sections I uncovered have been covered over. Seems they've been back already to have a look.
I've only within the last month had to start looking into NBN (national bastards network) options as our ADSL contract is ending. We can only get fixed wireless.
When we moved into the house 17 years ago, we could only get dial up. Then after 6 years of that we could get a private wireless connection from the forerunner company of Aussie Broadband. Then after a few years of that we could finally get ADSL with download speeds up to 20 Mb, so I reckon we've had ADSL 2+ speeds for 5 years.
Now we can only get fixed wireless which I've read can drop down to 2Mb/s once the kids get home from school, so from around 4pm - 10pm.
So we've (us, my town) gone from shit to good and back to shit again. This NBN is supposed to be the ducks guts, but it's not as good as what we currently have.
The big thing initially about the NBN was it was supposed to give people outside the metropolitan area internet access comparable to what city folk have.
Looking at it simply, ignoring the politics and the funding etc, what's actually happened is they've removed / are removing infrastructure (ADSL2+) that has finally made it out to the bush that gives us access that is more than adequate and are replacing it with infrastructure that gives us speeds like we had 10-15 years ago.
I really think that someone with money should seriously look at setting up their own network in competition to the NBN I cannot see this NBN thing being able to evolve sufficiently as money will not be available for it to scale up as much as what I reckon it will need to in the future, this country is just too bloody big.
