Telstra's contractors are repairing the pits and ducts for NBN Co's fibre hauling. During this build, NBN Co contractors haul fibre into the pits and ducts. NBN Co issued a work order to its contractors to commence the build process. It was noted that the expected ready for service date will be on the 4Q-2015.
I've spoke to a contractor today who was sitting a box in the street with his laptop doing his part. He said that the of ramming is all done, the cabling has been laid as I have spoken to guys who were laying the cable. They were in the pit in my street. The contractor said it could be sooner rather than later. I'd doubt Q4-2015 will the date.
The NBN is NOT part of the fitzgibbon estate. I have been here for almost 3 years and i can tell you its NOT. The NBN however HAS started to lay down cables within the estate, however i have two things. 1. The NBN will be installed. 2. The NBN wont be connected to new houses within the Estate due to Telstra already having FTP connections to every new house. This was actually sent to me in a letter from Luke Howarth MP. So i am waiting a response from NBN CO.
The fitzgibbon chase estate has telstra(?) fibre but is not part is nbn (yet). This means you do not have access to the cheaper nbn plans but instead get more expensive services resold through telstra.
For instance with internode you go on the reach fibre plans instead of nbn.
Hopefully the infrastructure is bought by nbnco soon and we get the cheaper plans.
