Altona comes under the Footscray CSA (Connectivity Serving Area). Each CSA serves approximately the same number of end-user premises. Altona is identified by the service area modules 3ALT-20 and 3ALT-01, whose expected rollout dates are 6th and 12th June 2018 respectively.
NBN Co provides an address checker where you can enter your street address to find out the rollout details. According to this checker, the NBN service will only be available to Altona from Jul-Dec 2019 and the technology available is FTTC (Fibre to the curb). There is apparently a discrepancy between the public information provided by NBN Co and that released by Telstra Wholesale. I do not know whose information is more up to date. Hence, do not carry too high an expectation that NBN will be available to Altona residents soon.
The NBN co website has a rollout map of NBN service status. Purpose colour means NBN service is already available to the specific area. Brown colour means NBN installation work has already commenced while blue means the premises there can already access fast broadband through an existing fibre network.
I can see from the map that our neighbouring Williamstown is already connected to the NBN while some pockets of Point Cook (I suppose Melbourne’s newer residential estates) have existing fibre networks.
Different premises are connected to the NBN via different technologies. This article gives a very good explanation of the various technologies employed.
Fibre to the premises/home (FTTP/FTTH)
|
Fibre to the node (FTTN)
|
Fibre to the basement/building (FTTB)
|
Fibre to the curb/distribution point/driveway (FTTP/FTTDP/FFTD)
|
Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial (HFC)
|
Fixed Wireless
|
Satellite (Sky Muster)
