I didn't have HFC in the house, so this is new. Yes, a plate, beside a power 
outlet and somewhat close to the current twisted pair in the office.

Yes, I'm pleased about this aspect. I can try the new one and see if/how it 
works. ADSL backup at least for a few days. Internode says they have about a 
5-6 day window before dropping the ADSL connection. 

I signed up for only 12Mbps service. It's faster than what I have now. So I 
should see some performance improvement. The guys at Node said they aren't 
getting many complaints, and those that are have sprung for the fastest service 
and upset by a 10-15% margin lower.

Hehe.. you're usually a bit more vocal.


The NBN installer came yesterday and put in their gear.

ADSL uses Telstra's ageing copper. HFC is a completely separate network.
Both should never have been used in a new National Broadband Network (NBN).
Now we have Malcolm's Terrible Mess (MTM).

You are lucky you can co-exist with ADSL. It's the unfortunate users who 
have

been shafted with FTTN that are having issues; they get cut off from ADSL
immediately, and if the FTTN doesn't work... weeks of no internet or phone.

PS. I've said it before: this is not an anti-MTM forum.. must. 
stop.. angry.

The NBN installer came yesterday and put in their gear. I have an important 
skype call to the US tomorrow, so I decided to hold off on connecting the new 
modem in case it goes bad. Once that's finished, I'll probably have a go. Right 
now I'm still on the ADSL I've always had. No indication of interferences.
