    @LeaptelRep I can't find these details in the T&Cs.

    1. Is this for new customers only or existing and new customers?
    2. When is the expiry date?

      1. Both new and existing customers can access the fibre upgrade pricing.
      2. There is no expiry date it is our ongoing fibre upgrade campaign pricing. It is funded through a rebate from nbn that we pass along.

          Note that they wouldn't (couldn't?) pass on the additional $10 NBN rebate to me as I previously upgraded to FTTP with another provider. Seems fair/logical. YMMV.

  • incipient on 23/10/2023 - 21:22

    Am I correct that nbnco will pay to install the media converter, but I'm responsible for all cabling from the media converter into my house?

    • reactor-au on 23/10/2023 - 21:29

      From what I could gather, any trenching and conduit if for your cost, I don't know up to what point that is but I'd guess from the street into your house.
      Maybe someone who's been through the process can enlighten us.

    • Twix on 23/10/2023 - 21:30

      nbn does the fibre NTD and you can organize a cabler to run ethernet to various locations.

        I signed up with Aussie Broadband with their free upgrade to FTTP and it was exactly that: free. The guy put the modem in the room I asked him to (about half-way back from the front of the house). He had to run a conduit and cable through the roof and I wasn't charged for any of it.

    • ONEMariachi on 23/10/2023 - 22:20

      Nbn will do 60 metres of cabling from the pit to the utility box on the outside of your house, then 40 metres from the utility box to the nbn connection box inside your home.
      If you need longer distances than that, you’ll need to utilise a registered cabler.

      • jaydee4 on 23/10/2023 - 22:27

        This doesn't cover going above the first floor(house) level I think; my nbn tech told me he wasn't allowed to do that.

            @ONEMariachi: I've been through the fttp process about a year ago.

            Can confirm they do not run upstairs. We had to hire our owner cabler and call the nbn guy back to finish the install later.

        • stewface on 24/10/2023 - 21:01

          The loss is on the latency.

          10-15 vs 1-2ms

          So you are getting 10x faster responses to requests

          • Nom on 25/10/2023 - 00:25

            @stewface: These numbers are basically irrelevant for normal use cases though - latency of 10-15ms is absolutely fine, even for gaming.

          bad latency and stability compared to fiber
          no real upgrade path

          • stewface on 24/10/2023 - 21:01

            @commiewealth: Agreed on all these points.

          • Nom on 25/10/2023 - 00:29

            @commiewealth: This is just not true.

            It's absolutely not "bad latency" 🤷🏼‍♂️

            It's just higher than fibre - but still in the realm of "perfectly fine".

            The same goes for stability - in my area it's perfectly fine. I've used it for over a decade and it's been stable as a rock for that whole period.

            If it sucks in your area then that sucks - but let's not pretend that's HFC as a whole.

            • commiewealth on 28/10/2023 - 05:38

              @Nom: Fair points, although FTTP doesn't have 'bad areas' like HFC can

          Well this is why… If you have a bad reception with this, there is nothing you can do about it than changing suburbs and when hfc is bad, its so horrible. fttp on the otherhand is far more reliable and the shared bandwidth from the node is lot higher resulting is better experience even during peek times.
          This is on a 100/40 fttp connection -> https://ibb.co/WBhYf6G (check the latency difference between the two)

            Don't think you can do the free upgrade from HFC anyway but was more of a +1 for Leaptel mate.

      It now says:

      We are aiming to be available from December 2023, but with each area providing different construction hurdles, these dates may change.

      What are the chances when I check back in December 2023 it will say March 2024?

    Anyone know rough time to get them out to do the work. I CAN’T have it happen in the next two weeks.

      That depends on worker availability in your area. Contact Leaptel.

      Pretty sure you can organise the dates with the ISP for NBN to come out. Just call them or send an email to their support and ask.

      You'll automatically get it scheduled. But you can just call your RSP and reschedule it
