We have had the NBN initial site survey today. We are a 3 story, double brick building, with the NBN access entering the building in the garage via existing piping. From this point, there is conduit that goes up through the riser to the top floor comms box. NBN team said this is very easy and straightforward.
The team onsite today said, top floor is easy as roof access is possible. However, as there is no comms box on each level, they will be drilling through the concrete slabs and running conduit down to the two floors below. They will then run cabling along the cornice (covered with 3M tape) to each unit entrance door where a port will be placed.
Those units who wish to have the installation into their premises will then get cabling from the door, along cornices (with 3M tape) to a location in their unit where they want the port.
To me it seems quite messy, but with solid walls and no access into wall space (with exception of top floor who have roof space access) I guess there is no other option?
Keen to see pics or hear from anyone in a similar unit block and what this actually looks like in the common area and within your unit. Are we going to have wiring and piping throughout common areas and then wiring along cornices in peoples units?
I’ve googled some pics so hoping it’s not like those!
