Thanks!

Ah thanks.

Hello, OzBargain Brains Trust, I am looking at getting Optus's wireless broadband plan, which comes with a router called the Huawei B525.…

This is the first time I have ever heard of a Mesh Wireless Network. Excuse being a Luddite, but what is this? I realise this comment…

Not sure. I will look into it. Thanks for your advice.

Ah, OK. Understood.

It does not have its own street address. It is part of the one property, one street address only. The studio apartment is above the garage,…

It's this one: https://www.nbnco.com.au/residential/learn/network-technology/hybrid-fibre-coaxial-explained-hfc-3

Legal issues? I presume you mean about not providing Internet access? If we bought a wireless modem for the studio, would that do the…

Thanks. Not sure if it is FttN. We have been told it is this:…

Thanks. I have thought of that and it is a good idea. But I can't commit to that until I know whether the signal will stretch from the…

The power meter is at the front of the main house.

Yes, I agree. Going about things the wrong way or the hard way is not a good way to start a new tenant/landlord relationship.

Ha! Yes . . . I am also looking into the Optus wireless broadband option. Just in case the NBN thing doesn't pan out.

That's an option, but I would rather not go that route . . . it could end up at Tribunal.

Thanks. Might need to go down this route, once settlement has happened. We are in between exchange and settlement, currently.

The following from NBN site. It clearly states that consent is required. Also that the NBN must be in the same building as the electricity…

We don't live there just yet. I therefore don't have easy access to the tenant; not even sure of her name.

Hello all, Calling all NBN experts . . . this is not a technical query, but more a query about the rules around NBN. I have bought a house,…

NBN is available for connection to the address, but there is a complication. There is a tenant currently living in a studio at the…

Thanks for taking the time to write this very informative post. At my new house I will have at least three Optus towers within 250 metres,…

Thanks, Hombre. That's great! Do you know if he has line of sight to a tower? I have a stack of Optus towers quite close me, but live in a…

Wow! That's info I didn't know! might need to go for the bigger plan.

Thanks. None of the others have the plans that Optus offers, though: 500GB for $80. (Though this will be pointless and useless if I can't…

Thanks. Yes, I have ordered a $2 Optus SIM to do just that. I live in inner Sydney. Lots of towers, but also lots of people. It will be…

For those still wondering whether Optus Wireless Broadband will be restricted to 2300mhz, here is the answer (I think) - from someone using…

I get around 16mbs on my ADSL2 connection, according to Speed Test. Maybe I am close to an exchange? my average monthly usage is around…

So you are using the iPad SIM in the B525 modem?

My son is a computer science graduate. At last, payback time!

Thanks . . . so, like a phone, it will "talk" to whatever frequency is closest and strongest?
