It seems reliable information about NBN fibre-to-the-node installations is just about impossible to find, and there's certainly no point in going through the public NBN information sources. (As a matter of interest, I'm told NBN Co. built at least one expensively appointed call centre then immediately abandoned it when they decided to use an offshore centre.)
But back to domestic _FTTN_ installations...
Does anyone know whether some form of network termination device is installed?
If so, does it:
(a) include a VoIP adapter and an Ethernet interface for data, similar to FTTP installations,
(b) or does it just provide the Ethernet data interface without the VoIP adapter,
(c) or does it just provide raw VDSL?
If (a) or (b), the average non-technical householder would need an approved electrican to run LAN cable from the NTD to their WiFi or whatever router and set it up. If (c), the electrician might have to isolate the POTS wiring from the VDSL so there's no interference, and the householder still needs someone to set up the router and VoIP adapter.
Anyone have any clues?
