Just a late followup on my NBN conversion.
* 8/5 NBN activated
* 16/5 VOIP conversion
So the phone was down for ~9 days, which wasn't too bad.

Re: Keeping phone number active during ADSL -> NBN conversio
Well after doing some investigating on whether I could keep the phone number active by going elsewhere (Optus seems to be 10 bus days outage, Telstra ? - didn't want an overpriced 24mon contract), I've stayed with Exetel and did the application on Friday over the phone. I just got an SMS indicating ...

Keeping phone number active during ADSL -> NBN conversion
As I understand it, once ADSL/POTS in disconnected, NBN is usually connected quite quickly (within hours); however, porting your telephone onto NBN/VOIP can be hit and miss (some people take 1 day, some take 5 weeks! ) - talking to my brother, it's been ~1 week with a home phone that does not actual...

are there known ADSL problems at BLRO exchange?
I'm on Boolaroo exchange in Newcastle. Can anyone tell me if there is a known problem for some connections on that exchange? REASON: My (Optus based) ADSL has been down since SAT 20/6 ~10pm, but phone is working OK. Asking around the nearby neighbourhood, it seems a few other people's internet is al...

Re: slow downloads from overseas (BLRO NSW)
Well it seems to have made an improvement - I'm now downloading at ~900 kB/s again. I will continue to monitor - stats seem fine so far too (better SNR but slightly lower sync, but no matter about that). Thanks.

Following this thread, https://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=284&t=41701 What the recommendation to get things working again? I reset modem yesterday and that didn't seem to fix anything - I'm still downloading from overseas sites at 5kB/s (eg. uploaded.net - but local sites seem fine ~900 kB/...

Re: problem with telephone meter?
Well the telephone meter is still totally stuffed for me, so I've basically given up hope of it getting fixed - let's just hope what I've billed is actually correct. ----- I really shouldn't bother wasting my time doing this, but here are some problems I see my the website billing (now with pictures...

Re: problem with telephone meter?

problem with telephone meter?
I'm getting confused with this new metering and billing system. I want to check some previous bills so people can pay for some international calls etc. I go here https://www.exetel.com.au/myexetel/phone/view_telephone_services_usage/0249xxxxxx and look at 2014-07-14 bill for example - and it says: L...

Re: Lowering SNR to improve line speed
if you can manually adjust the snr settings on your modem (dunno if your model allows it), then you can probably get better speeds. i have a billion 7800vdpx and i set snr=1 and i get these stats: Downstream Upstream Line Coding (Trellis) On On SNR Margin (0.1 dB) 70 137 Attenuation (0.1 dB) 420 242...
