Your video showed up in my YT recommendations.Watching from Radcliff, Kentucky, U.S on July 8th, 2024 in preparation for the switch from old POTS telephone landline service to Fiber telephone service. Your voice sounds a lot like Paul Hogan a..k.a "Crocodile Dundee". Love that movie!
Great video, one correction though, you can plug your PC directly into the UNI-D port on the NTD and get internet, it functions as the modem for the connection. Having previously worked at an ISP and nbn for a few years this was something we would suggest during troubleshooting for FTTP connections. edit: This would apply for ISPs using an IPoE connection, if your ISP uses PPPoE you would have to set up a dialer on the PC / would need additional configuration for VLAN tagging however the ISPs I would recommend do not use VLAN tagging or a PPPoE setup
Yeah not in this case, you need a separate router. have already tried that. I have also spent time working for an ISP as well as more than one comms company.
NTD is just that, end termination and in some cases, media conversion. Some RSP's (Reselling Service Provider as ISP is for Internet Service Provider whom assumes they own and control some or all of their delivery which NBN simply does not allow) will provide simple DHCP style internet (plug in, get public IP) but others only provide via PPPoE or VLAN'ed service.
Actually you CAN plug a computer direct into the NTD, as long as you have DHCP on. I have done this at 2 FTTP locations for troubleshooting. But it is preferred to use a router like you said.
To add a little more context here - the NTD is just a termination (think of it like a giant ethernet cable) - some services provide a DHCP service on the other end of that termination, mine does not. the IP assignment is not done at the NTD.
What area of the Country are you in....would be interesting the agreement/arrangements between the energy provider (pole owners) and NBNco for aerial fibre to help demonstrate to the ACT/Canberra Government that aerial fibre is trivial to deploy in our local region and stop avoiding it !
if you are only getting 100mbps you are only making use of 1/10th of the available bandwith, I pay about $99 a month for 250 down 40mbps up. the full speed is 1000mbps (1 gigabit)
@@timothythorpe4667 no, it's been rock solid. We had NBN fiber to the node prior yo this and it would drop out when it rained, thunder, power spike, excesdive hot weather, severe wind - or a bird farted 9 miles away. Fiber to the premises has been so solid, we get 7ms jitter and 5ms ping to 8.8.8.8.
Wow sharing network with neighbors, first time hearing this concept. Usually you do not want to share your network with anybody since that would decrease your speed
when I have 250 megabits, I don't notice it, and in my case there are larger benefits to doing so. I get along very well with both neighbors and we help each other frequently
Cheers for the explanation. Looking forward to getting ours connected in 2 weeks.

Very helpful, thanks mate!
No worries, happy to help

@@CarstenBauer yeah this particular config did not enable the DHCP server. It expects manually configured settings.

In New Zealand those fibre boxes are called ONT's optical network terminal
Yeah different terminology, same thing.
Fibre
Depends what brand of english you use.
And as my primary audience is american, I'm inclined to switch usage from time to time to meet the metrics.

I'm in vic. The phone lines in this area are also overhead, due to this town being in swampland.
This reminds me I should really start labeling all my network cables.
Yeah I spent 2 days doing that before this video, and made myself a network map
ok we just got fiber to the home. we are on nbn 100 plan $87 a mouth how much are you payng for that sort of speed.
No its still Pritty shit we are still struglig to get 1gb Nz lowest speed is 1gb its imbarsing if you ask me.

did you had any issues with nbn

Your network is only capable of 100mb/s? That's true dedication to retro tech.
It's gigabit now. But until recently there was no gain to upgrading as internet was only 12mbps on a good day, and I had no huge data transfer needs.
Thumbs up for sharing Internet with your neighbors 👍
Make life easier and cheaper for everyone.
No cost?? Yet you pay?
@@downtoearth1950 i pay my regular monthly fee, but the cost to upgrade was free.

Yeah and NBNCo just posted a $1.4B loss. Prices will have to be doubled if this boondoggle is not a burden to the taxpayer.
@@Neil-yg5gm internet these days should be considered an essential service. Much like power and water, should not be privatized.
Wow, 10/100 and non gbit network in 2024, this is one janky setup!
Lol yeah it's all gigabit now.
