Hi,
If you still have your old Internet method then you can disconnect your NBN device and your phoneline will return to normal. You can keep it disconnected until the night before your appointment.

I have disconnected my NCD and am back to using ADSL2. Curiosity got the better of me and I did reconnect it temporarily just to see if anything had changed since the digging crew had gone. But nothing has changed.

I'll be reconnecting the NCD on Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Regards, Leigh

Hi all,

An NBN Tech visited this morning. He found that the DPU had a spare Port. It turns out that the spare was assigned to my house and was not actually connected. The ID Tag for my house (my address was clearly written on the tag) was attached to another port.

So a quick snip of the wires and a few terminal connectors later and I now have 3 solid blue lights.

However......The Modem DSL light is not coming on. The Tech told me to turn the Modem off for 30 minutes while NBN run some tests on the NCD.

Edit: It turns out that DSL light does not have to be on. A quick speedtest shows that I'm getting 46.86Mbps.

Success!!!

Regards, Leigh

Hi my problem is same as above. the DSL and connection lights keep blinking. I PM the community team a few times and then no reply. the connection was already up to 24hrs, no internet at home really annoying.

Same here.  What a joke! 15 years with Telstra and when I finally have the option to sign up for NBN I foolishly jump on to TPG - and here I am, back to paying for a service I don't have and plugging my Telstra ADSL modem back in to have an internet connection. WTF! You need to leave a NBN box connected 24 hrs and no internet connection whilst you wait for some sort of service or support - twice have sat on the phone for over 20 minutes and can never get through to TPG!  Customer service is non existent - I should've known better.
