NBN connection boxes

Damn these things are fragile electronically speaking. Storm here last night, fried the damned thing and yet the standalone modem is fine as is everything else.


Nope, plugging the damned thing in it makes clicking noises and has no link connectivity to the network - flashing red link light. It MIGHT be the node, but I doubt it. We had some VERY close flash-bangs here last night

Lodged complaint, seems NBN will be here Monday 1pm. They better not charge for these silly boxes, but I bet they will. Meanwhile, the good old trusty Modem flicked over to mobile data...we have a few gigs of that up our sleeves till Monday.

Unfortunately anything that is connected to a copper wire will get it. House alarm, modem. Are you FTTC or FTTP?

The damned storm sirens went off again today....we call them the Air Raid sirens seeing we live right next to RAAF Fairbairn. The one during last night's doozie went for 40 mins - sure woke the whole neighbourhood up.

It’s a combo pack,
Kentucky Fried Red Rooter.
Sirens could’ve been a bird strike?
I thought all you guys in Canberra are woke?

Us Greeks are used to the Siren calls.
We put wax in our ears and resist them.

OMG did they feather you speed, you can get fibre to the premises from the node as there are 192 fibre connections per node. I think there are 188 available. And then they charge you for the privilege, ask rb and Ahmed, his favourite telecommunication technition.

It's always a conn.
