Re: So who's on the NBN?

Re: So who's on the NBN?

Re: So who's on the NBN?

The Telstra connection I did for a neighbour went into the old phone point. I did have to plug the phone into the modem, same way as the ADSL. One thing I didn't realise with FTTC is you can have...

Re: So who's on the NBN?

Gave up my landline with this new connection as well, as I've not had a phone connected to my modem in at least 2 years. If your MiL is on a mobile plan in the UK she should be able to call an Aus...

Re: So who's on the NBN?

Question: Does 5G work better with a NBN backbone or can it work totally independently of being piped back to a NBN/Fibre source?

Re: So who's on the NBN?

Fetch works properly about 98 pct of the time, Kodi about 50 pct, that's the issue. I'll have to buy a box, if I go to a different provider, Circa 350 bucks.
