I can't really see fibre becoming out dated anytime soon. What the hell is faster than light, other than a few D40's on this forum.... Zing!
I will be stripping my house of all 'copper' so to speak and converting to fibre. In 8 years whens this shit all finally gets rolled out properly and switched on. Media converters will be shit loads faster and technology will have caught up to the true potential of the medium (fibre optics).
Will have to rebuild my carpc to run on fibre

The biggest issue I can see is that a lot is going to depend on the network architecture (Assuming that the libs do not win in which case all bets are off)
As I understand it the PON (Passive Optical Network) components are to have splitters which take one fibre from the last bit of NBN transmission gear (In an exchange, or in a street side pillar etc) and splits it out to 32 individual fibres, one to each home, presumably there will be a transmit fibre and a receive fibre, upload and download might be the easier thing to remember as TX and RX depends on which end you are looking at!
I believe the spliiters work by peeling out different wavelengths of light, the individual wavelengths will appear one each on one of the fibres to a house, going back the other way they act as a combiner and aggregate the individual wavelengths for transmission back to the NBN equipment.
As I understand it the splitters are pretty much the current limiting factor allowing about 100M of bandwith per connection, presumably some boffin will come up with a splitter which can support ten times that in a few years. I would hate to think that the splitters might be put somewhere that makes them difficult to change over without massive network reconfiguration.

Fibre it is.
Fibre it is, I have noticed old switch bar racks being ripped out of local exchanges so I am assuming there moving forward with it.

Labour for the win! Bring on the NBN

Very happy with the result, will be interesting to see what happens from now.
I would like to know where they are planning to get the staff from to do this work, Telstra got rid of most of the linesmen/cable jointers in 1988, they are now a very scarce commodity, they sold of their training school in Doncaster years ago to help pay for those they got rid of. Who is going to train the new guys ? i hope it is not a cowboy free for all like the insulation fiasco. People like skilled engineering only take guys on on limited tenure a few months at a time at around $23 hr casual which is not huge these days.
You will need a cat 5 cable ticket as a minimum i think which costs heaps to get and takes a long time. Get the spades out boys !

Well why not, fast internet will give us something to do now that we'll most likely be locked out of forests by the unholy pact between Labor and the Greens!!!!!!
Not happy!

Don't worry Nevyn,
They'll never lock us out of the forests. How on earth would we be ever able to go in and hug trees?
Who better to run the country than a bloodnut socialist and a bunch of Hippie extremists
Now we're really phuct!

Plenty of people have fibre splicing gear, I haven't done it yet but will be getting the tickets now.

I'm with Dave, better get cracking and get my fibre ticket to go along with Open ACA and Structured Cabling endorsements....might be some work coming up.

When i build my new place i will be getting it wired up with fibre. Might even chuck a few pennies towards home automation. Fibre smart house.
Did you guys know that about 9 months before the election they had started building the cable from Adelaide up to Darwin and then from Tennant Creek through to Cloncurry. Tassie already had a heap of work done on the NBN down they. They were about to start the Cloncurry to Townsville end about when the election started. Still need to do the web of cables through all the towns though...
Makes you think when they promise things like a new NBN network during the election, that they already have budgetted for it but the Govt rolls it out like a new "promise". Much of the local member retoric about roads and rail is the same. "We promise $xxx mil for new roads or upgrade", but they have already got a 5 yr budget plan for them. So what else do they promise thats already in the pipeline???
Good idea about the tickets tho - plenty of work coming up if you want to do that stuff. have a good one!!

Doesn't surprise me, they put in some new racks about a year ago down this way that came from the top of QLD to Kent st in Sydney, those racks were $400,000 each and they were installed about every 30km's.
There are new systems going in soon down here now, they have started ripping out old switch bar racks for the new equipment.

Also make sure as well as cabling tickets you get first aid,traffic management,working in proximity to UG structures,confined space entry,pole top rescue, and probably another half a dozen they will think of plus a very large public liability policy, the revenue from optic fibre is thousands per hour allready in some metro areas,buy a very good gas detector and get your eyes tested ! Life wasnt meant to be easy

Anyone see Malcom Turnbull on tv getting photos taken while sitting in front of the laptop.
Why are we paying some bloke to whinge and complain a network he knows nothing about, !@#$ the people decided they want the fibre network over a wireless network that will be outdated when finished by voting for Labour.
How many people in politics do we need to whinge and complain, all we need is someone to get on with the job.
