So appointment was between 0800-1200. At 1620 I got a call, on my way. Too late I'm heading to work.
Ok I'll advise that you need a new appointment.

We never had any appointments or visits! We were sent an NBN ready modem to install in the mail and told when we were going to be connected they would let us know. Then after a few weeks we got an SMS asking if we were happy with the visit. Um. - what visit? Then we checked our speeds and found we were already on the NBN and happily working.The first appointment?? Ha Ha - can take weeks or months.
Daughter's place was a bit like that. The suburb had NBN for ages before she changed over. She got the modem in the mail and notification that the switchover would happen by 2pm on a certain day. It did. Just a matter of plugging in the new modem and changing the passwords and she was up and running,We never had any appointments or visits!

In my mother's case, they had to instal the NBN before she could do anything, then come in and connect it. That was the problem. They never showed up when they said they would.
our suburb had only just had NBN connected - why we had it so easy I have no idea. Most of our neighbours had to have visits!Daughter's place was a bit like that.

Sounds like the difference between real NBN and fake NBN then.... with real (FTTH) needing the final bit of the install inside done.
Not entirely. Can depend on the Telco and whether it's a home or ( home) business install. Mine was FTTN and on my home business account and I had 3 appointments, two from Telstra to my place and one from NBN to do the cut-over in the street.
Both Telstra ones arguably not needed ( could have done myself) but just 'standard' for business install whether at house or office block.
Indeed, what I meant is where MTM is being used it's just a matter of swap the CPE but where it's real NBN then a point inside needs to be installed at some point

Yes, that's what's meant to be happening with us, modem arrived last Wednesday, switchover on Monday, hopefully it goes smoothly.
I’ll bet you didn’t download anything at that speedWe have some catching up to do in AU. I was out with friends last night at a cheap and cheerful cafe in BCN. I tapped in to their free wifi. Speedtest showed 207 Mbps download and 241 up.
Which NBN type did you get? And real vs advertised speed?Got a survey today about my NBN experience. A big fat zero, when asked why I rated them with that score I reminded them that I lost a day's pay and the technician failed to appear without notification.
Hopefully it continues working and I never need to see or hear from them again.

Well I may have updated all my apps. And downloaded a heap of Netflix programs for my travel without inflight entertainment.I’ll bet you didn’t download anything at that speed
