Only just noticed your reply, Duncan 🙁
I’m staying in the same suburb, but the area I’ll be moving to copped the NFN MTM HFC.

Where I am was supposed to be part of the initial roll out of the Real NBN FttP, but that got nuked in 2014 as part of the ‘reorganization’ which shredded the initial rollout of the Real NBN, and perverted the whole thing into the NFN. Back at the time the original Real NBN maps were available, I never properly looked at where the majority of neighbouring FSAM areas were, so I don’t know if where I’ll be moving to was going to be part of that initial Real NBN rollout. The only neighbouring FSAM area I knew of and paid any notice to was the one across the street.

Across the street from where I am, got their rollout of the Real NBN, on schedule and went live RFS in early 2016. The area my current place is part of, was supposed to have gone live RFS on the Real NBN, in mid 2016.

It took till Jan 2020 to go live RFS, copping the inferior NFN MTM Fibbing to the Gutter (Australia uses ‘gutter’ not ‘curb’). Still, that’s at least a step up from what was originally going to be inflicted on my FSAM area, FttN.

I’m sure when you actually have a date it will work out! Which way are you headed?

I can’t do much, save to check if the NFN is available where I’ll be moving to. I still do not have a definite moving date.

Strange I live in Brisbane and was able to get new premises connected first try. Perhaps try booking an actual instal through a RSP. I find the NBN website as fully featured and well rolled out as the NBN itself.
