I had a longish build and pit remediate, and got a quote for ~$10,000 (FTTN -> FTTP)
As my FTTN was truly dire in stability* I bit the bullet and did it. Still mostly don’t regret it. For FTTC I believe it wouldn't have taken much of my build price as they do not splice into the FTTC feed fibre but run a parallel run for TMP builds. The only thing I'm salty about is that if my neighbours TMP they get a MUCH reduced build price... -Michael * Got perfect 100/40 sync speeds, just 2-3 drop outs a night with the inexorable 5 minute resync times, dropping to 50/20 didn't fix, was running a Cisco 887VAM with amazing details of monitoring, and 3 truck rolls and ABB's vigorous efforts couldn't get it stable. Was not surprised by ADSL was also truly dire (3.5/0.5, dozens of drop outs a day). I just concluded copper was probably horrifically compromised and gave up flogging that horse. -----Original Message----- From: AusNOG <ausnog-boun...@lists.ausnog.net> On Behalf Of James Andrewartha Sent: Wednesday, 1 May 2019 4:27 PM To: Beeson, Ayden <abee...@csu.edu.au> Cc: <ausnog@lists.ausnog.net> <ausnog@lists.ausnog.net> Subject: Re: [AusNOG] FTTC On Wed, 1 May 2019, Beeson, Ayden wrote: > That is spot on, but I haven’t seen a single quote come back that was in the > price range you would actually consider going ahead with. > > Admittedly that was for FTTN -> FTTP upgrades, but still I always got the > feeling those “choices” were priced to make it unaffordable to regular > consumers on purpose, meaning that quote price is effectively sunk money. > > I’ll be very interested to see what the FTTC -> FTTP quotes come back at, > it’s a lot less fibre length to run but still requires a lot of the same > types of work in the end so I’m not expecting much. $5100 https://whrl.pl/Rfme7I which is ridiculous although these posts from 2016 https://whrl.pl/ReLT5w and https://whrl.pl/ReLVZj claim why it's expected. Really if you want fibre you may as well take advantage of the free builds on nbn enterprise ethernet at the moment than do a tech change. -- # TRS-80 trs80(a)ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au #/ "Otherwise Bub here will do \ # UCC Wheel Member http://trs80.ucc.asn.au/ #| what squirrels do best | [ "There's nobody getting rich writing ]| -- Collect and hide your | [ software that I know of" -- Bill Gates, 1980 ]\ nuts." -- Acid Reflux #231 / _______________________________________________ AusNOG mailing list AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net http://lists.ausnog.net/mailman/listinfo/ausnog
