NBN verses 4G. Is there a contest?

Nope, thats illegal, f****it.

Blocked & broken lead-in conduit is very common.

But not for the reason he was pig ignorantly lying about that would require the copper to be permanently ripped out so the NBN is possible.

The plastic pipe used these days for residential purposes is 20mm diameter ( approx ). Previous pipes used were even smaller.

The diameter of a FTTH lead-in cable ( more accurately, the head/plug of the cable ) is about

20mm, I gather.

Not much room there for overbuilding another network, it seems, unless you dig in more conduit to every house.

Even the distribution network ( street pit 'n' pipe ) would have to be majorly upgraded to allow another network to co-exist, IMO, particularly if there's co-axial cable present as well.

We've seen two styles of rollout so far. One is a separate network and the other, in a couple of places, an entire replacement i.e copper to FTTH.

There's yet to be a network overbuild attempted....

Thats a lie, its happened in tasmania.

Do they use a 24 hr clock in the alternate universe where you live Rod ?

I have never said anything about requiring copper to be ripped out. Probably was Petzl ?

f****it.

f****it.

Hard to believe, I know.

The last page has a conduit capacity guide. You can only have a FTTH cable in a 20mm (P20) pipe.

Aerial? Wouldn't be acceptable in a lot of places, particularly with everything else located underground.

I'm just wondering how it's going to be done. With an underground shared system you could possibly drag out the copper lead-in cable and haul the FTTH cable in when that was required, perhaps. And then haul that out when the next tennant wanted to be on the copper network.

It's happening right now in a few places.

Not using existing Telstra pit and pipe, though.

You dont know what the NBN is going to do on that.

Nope, the natural gas was done here with very little digging at all, punching it thru instead.

You dont know that they will get any say.

With the payTV rollouts they didnt get any say.

They're free to set fire to themselves or sumfin.

Most likely if the existing conduits arent suitable they will do it on the poles or run another conduit.

Likely we will never know because the plug will be pulled on the Labor govt before much actually gets done at all and the plug is pulled on the NBN.

In a microscopic number in fact.

Because there is f*ck all of that there.
