Published on: 12-03-2021 The fastest internet connection, NBN connection is Rolling out fibre-optic, fixed wireless, and satellite infrastructure to eradicate the old copper wires and cable line technology to deliver the most reliable and faster internet service at your premises. NBN is rolling out fibre-optic, fixed wireless and satellite infrastructure to eradicate the use of old ADSL copper wire and cable line technology, delivering a new standard of fast and reliable internet at your premises. The main wired NBN technologies based on their connection type are: Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)- FTTP uses exclusively fibre optic cable to connect your premises to the nearest fibre node. In terms of speed, FTTP provides the fastest transmission among all the modes of NBN connection. This technology reaches up to Gigabit speeds (1000Mbps), and it’s the only medium that can provide the ultrafast NBN plan . Fibre to the Node (FTTN)- FTTN connects the nearest fibre node directly to a telephone wall socket in your home using pre-existing copper line technology (previously used to operate telephone systems). A VDSL2 compatible modem is required for this type of connection. It can transmit data at a maximum of 100Mbps. Fibre to the Building (FTTB)- FTTB uses fibre optic cable to the shared point in the communication room of a building, and from there pre-existing copper line technology is used to connect to each customer. A VDSL2 compatible modem is required for this type of connection. As with FTTN, it transmits data at a maximum of 100Mbps. Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC)- This technology is similar to FTTN/B, except that coaxial cable is used instead of copper line. For this type of connection, you need to connect your router to a nbn™ HFC Network Termination Device. Depending on the distance that fibre optic cables are used, HFC technology can transmit data up to 1000Mbps. However, currently only 7% of connections of this type are capable of a 1Gbps transmission rate. Fibre to the Curb (FTTC)- FTTC is the newest technology available, where the fibre optic cable will run up to the telecom pit outside your property and existing technology will be used to link it to your premises. A nbn™ connection device (NCD) needs to be connected to the primary telephone wall socket and a router into the NCD to access Internet services. This is more reliable and faster than FTTN/B where it can transmit the data at up to 500Mbps. Fibre to the Node (FTTN)- It uses fibre optic cable to the nearest node of your premises and existing copper line technology is used the primary telephone wall socket and a VDSL2 compatible modem is used for the connection. It can transmit the data at 100 Mbps. Fibre to the Building (FTTB)- It uses fibre optic cable to the shared point in the business communication room and existing copper line technology is used for each customer. A VDSL2 compatible modem is used for the connection. It also can transmit the data at 100 Mbps.   Wanting to know the current type of connection you have at your address? Visit the Occom Website at www.occom.com.au and contact us to see what options are available to you. What are the fastest NBN Plans Available? NBN offers a range of services to meet the customers’ requirements, and provide multiple NBN broadband plans based on their speed tiers. NBN’s different download and upload speeds start from 12Mbps down/1Mbps up and go up to 1000Mbps down/250Mbps up. Here is a table showing the internet speed of NBN’s plans: NBN Speed Tier Maximum Speed  Evening Speed NBN 12 (Basic 1) 12Mbps  7Mbps NBN 25 (Basic 2) 25Mbps  15Mbps NBN 50 (Standard) 50Mbps 30Mbps NBN 100 (Fast) 100Mbps 60Mbps NBN 250 (Superfast) 250Mbps 215Mbps NBN 1000 (Ultrafast) 1000Mbps 250Mbps What is a good NBN speed? Am I getting what I’ve paid for? What speed can I expect after hooking up to the NBN? These are the general question that all internet users have on their minds. Depending on the connection type you have implemented, you can compare your speed with the reference table below: NBN Speed-Tiers Good Great NBN 25 15 – 22 Mbps 22 – 25 Mbps NBN 50 35 – 40 Mbps 40 – 50 Mbps NBN100 60 – 85 Mbps 85 – 100 Mbps NBN 250 150 – 200 Mbps 200 – 250 Mbps What speed do I need? There are a lot of NBN plans with different download and upload speeds. The important thing to know is what you want from your plan and how much internet you use. To make it easy to pinpoint what you’re really after, NBN has created some recommendations for different speed tiers. NBN Plans Description NBN 12 Single user, light internet use NBN 25 2-3 users for web surfing and browsing social media. NBN 50 For Family use and online gaming. NBN 100 Heavy downloads and uploads, online video gaming and heavy use of internet NBN 250 For video conferencing, video HD video streaming, huge data uploads and downloads NBN 1000 The fastest possible internet speed that you can get at the moment. Can I get the fastest NBN service? How do I upgrade to FTTP? If you want the fastest NBN service – either the NBN 250 or NBN 1000 speeds – you will most likely need FTTP, as only a percentage of HFC homes can tap into those services. You can apply to upgrade from NBN Co’s Technology Choice Program, and they have recently included the option for a free quote (instead of the $300 fee previously). If you wish to get a free online FTTP upgrade quote, you can find the guidelines at www.nbnco.com.au. The quote is free, however the cost of upgrade isn’t. The fee for upgrading varies with the complexity of the upgrading process as well as the location of your nearest fibre point, as a full fibre connection is required to receive Gigabit speeds at your premises. There are other options for upgrading copper-fibre hybrid connections that can provide promising … Read more

Published on: 10-05-2021 BYO Modem Router Configuration Guide Have your nbn™ connected? What is next? You should set up your nbn™-compatible modem/router before enjoying the fast internet plan.

Published on: 10-05-2021 Static IP To understand what Static IP is, first we need to know what IP address is. It is a unique address given by TCP/IP network for every device. It can identify various network devices and communicate with each other. What is Static IP? The word static means stable, and a static IP address is simply an address that remains unchanged. It is associated with the non-changing internet address, which can be assigned to a particular device. Once a static IP address is assigned to a device, it will not be changed until the network setting changes. The servers or other vital equipment generally use static IP. A static IP is helpful for residential customers or businesses for the following purposes: Host a web, mail, or FTP server Access a corporate network remotely Host a webcam for video streaming Static IP addresses are assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP). There are many advantages of getting a Static IP: Better DNS support: Static IPs are easier to set up and managed by DNS servers. More reliable communication:It is more convenient to use voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for teleconferencing and video communications. There are some disadvantages as well: Hackable: Hackers can quickly attack your server as they know the server on the internet, as the IP is fixed. Extra work: Each static IP must be manually configured. Why do we provide CGNAT? Carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT) used by internet service providers is to share a single unique public IP address with multiple users. It allows them to access the internet without any interruption. Internet is more secure under CGNAT. We all know the IPv4 address is running out, and planning to move to the IPv6 address. To make maximum use of available IPv4, OCCOM has decided to use the CGNAT to have the most negligible impact on most OCCOM clients. Currently, OCCOM adopts CGNAT to share unique public IPv4 addresses deployed to multiple customers and try to make use of the available IP address within the network. How to get static IP from OCCOM? We charge $10 per month for customers who require static IP addresses. Our business and residential customers can request to change to a non-changing IP address. These static IP addresses are best practicable for the customers who run their servers, such as email servers, file servers, or home utilities and systems. These services require an unchanged IP address that does not change.

Published on: 08-04-2021 What is CG-NAT? CG-NAT is a method used by internet service providers, ones like OCCOM for sharing a single unique public IP address with multiple users. This allows them to access the internet without interruption. Basically, your router is assigned private IP address rather than using a public IP address.   Why is OCCOM opting CG-NAT? We are running out of IPv4 addresses and are planning on moving all our customers over to IPv6 addresses. Until we get there, though, we have decided to use the CGNAT method as it has the least impact on a majority of OCCOM’s customer. Currently OCCOM is using this method to share a current unique public IPv4 addresses that has been deployed to multiple customers and trying to extend the life IPv4 within the network.   How will this affect me? Basically, the modem or router you have will use a private IP address and when you access the internet then you will get transferred across a shared public IP address. This will not affect to most of our customers. Browsing internet would stay as usual with the only difference that your router or modem will be assigned with a different IP address. If you happen to purchase a static IP address this will not make any difference in your IP address and it will remain same.   What is an IP address and NAT? An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. IP stands for “Internet Protocol,” which is the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the internet or local network. Internet Protocol works the same way as any other language, by communicating using set guidelines to pass information. All devices find, send, and exchange information with other connected devices using this protocol. By speaking the same language, any computer in any location can talk to one another. IP addresses are of two types:   Private IP address: Every device that connects to your internet network has a private IP address. This includes computers, smartphones, and tablets but also any Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers, printers, or smart TVs. With the growing internet of things, the number of private IP addresses you have at home is probably growing. Your router needs a way to identify these items separately, and many items need a way to recognize each other. Therefore, your router generates private IP addresses that are unique identifiers for each device that differentiate them on the network. Public IP addresses A public IP address is the primary address associated with your whole network. While each connected device has its own IP address, they are also included within the main IP address for your network. As described above, your public IP address is provided to your router by your ISP. Typically, ISPs have a large pool of IP addresses that they distribute to their customers. Your public IP address is the address that all the devices outside your internet network will use to recognize your network. NAT is a technology that has helped to extend the life of IPv4 by sharing one public address to multiple private addresses, this is what allows you to get online with all of your devices at home without having a unique and expensive address for each device.   What about IPv6? OCCOM is committed to delivering IPv6, currently tests are being carried on for the deployment of IPv6 on selected connections and we look forward to sharing more news about this deployment when it is ready for distribution to our customers. Until IPv6 is ready for deployment OCCOM will be sharing IP addresses using CG-NAT.

Published on: 03-09-2021 After an extremely long rollout spanning eight years, NBN Co announced last year that it would be upgrading half the outdated FTTN network to FTTP. In the 12 months since this announcement, NBN Co has been steadily revealing which suburbs will be next in line for a full-fibre upgrade. This week another 300,000 homes and businesses have been added to that list. What is the FTTP NBN upgrade? The switch from nbn fibre plans FTTN (Fibre to the node) to FTTP (Fibre to the premises) is fairly significant as it replaces a lot of old copper wiring technology that limits internet speeds to these areas. FTTP is considered one of the fastest internet connections in Australia and should allow more customers to access up to 1 Gbps speeds on the NBN fibre plans. $700 million is also being spent on creating business fibre zones across Australia which will give more business premises access to top tier speeds. Some FTTC and HFC connections are also getting the upgrade, bringing the whole initiative to a $3.5 billion cost. Which suburbs will be eligible for an upgrade next? On Tuesday, NBN Co released a list of the suburbs that will be next to benefit from the FTTP upgrade. These 300,000 additional premises will bring the upgrade plan past 1.4 million homes and businesses that have been announced so far. NBN Co is aiming to enable FTTP in 2 million additional homes by 2023. To be eligible for this upgrade plan, NBN Co said its selection criteria was based on areas where the company anticipated “strong demand for higher speeds; where it can provide maximum benefit to the most customers; where it can deploy with speed and agility, and where its multi-billion-dollar investment is most likely to spread and multiply economic activity across the nation.” The suburbs that will be qualifying next include: NSW: Albion Park Rail, Alstonville, Ambarvale, Avalon Beach, Banora Point, Beaumont Hills, Berkeley, Brighton-Le-Sands, Broulee, Bundeena, Callala Bay, Callala Beach, Campbelltown, Currans Hill, Dalmeny, Farmborough Heights, Figtree, Glen Alpine, Glenmore Park, Glenwood, Goonellabah, Goulburn, Harrington Park, Kellyville, Kellyville Ridge, Keiraville, Lake Heights, Lennox Heads, Mollymook Beach, Mount Warrigal, North Nowra, Palm Beach, Pottsville, Rouse Hill, Ruse, Stanhope Gardens, Sussex Inlet, Sutherland, The Ponds, Tweed Heads, Tweed Heads South, Unanderra, Warrawong, Windang, Yamba. VIC: Beaconsfield, Berwick, Craigieburn, Echuca, Kialla, Mornington, Narre Warren South, Lakes Entrance, Myrtleford, Newport, Pakenham, Port Fairy, Sunbury, Tarneit, Traralgon, Wangaratta, Warrnambool, Williamstown, Williamstown North, Woori Yallock. QLD: Battery Hill, Bellbowrie, Bli Bli, Brassall, Brinsmead, Coomera, Darling Heights, Edmonton, Condon, Harristown, Maroochydore, Moggill, Newtown, Oakey, Palm Cove, Redland Bay, Sippy Downs, Smithfield, Springfield Lakes, Toowoomba City, Upper Coomera, Yorkeys Knob. SA: Clovelly Park, Craigmore, Findon, Mitchell Park, Morphett Vale, Rosewater, Woodville South. WA: Armadale, Atwell, Bassendean, Bayswater, Beaconsfield, Cannington, Claremont, Forrestfield, Fremantle, Innaloo, Morley, Myaree, Piarra Waters, Port Kennedy, Rockingham, Safety Bay, Seville Grove, Shoalwater, Stirling, Waikiki, Wattle Grove, White Gum Valley, Willagee, Wilson. The ACT, Northern Territory and Tasmania are noticeably absent from this list, however were included in NBN Co’s previous announcement of 900,000 areas in May. So when can these suburbs actually expect to access this fancy new upgrade? Kathryn Dyer, COO at NBN Co, said: “We will launch a small-scale pilot of the FTTN to FTTP upgrade program to enable the first eligible premises to access a higher speed NBN Home Fast, NBN Home Superfast or NBN Home Ultrafast service via their chosen internet retailer in November this year.” Customers will need to opt for a higher speed FTTP plan with their ISP once available to take advantage of the new upgrade.

Published on: 02-04-2021 NBN technology type: Whether you need a modem or a router will depend on the nbn™ technology type. In some cases, the hardware that comes with your nbn™ connection will serve as your modem, so you will just need a router. Here is what you will need based on your connection type: FTTP – Fibre to the premises utilises fibre optic cable to connect your premises directly. In order for this connection to work, a utility box will be required to be installed outside of your premises in addition to a connection box that is installed inside the premises. FTTP is the best nbn™ connection type of technology which is more consistent in its delivery of ultrafast internet speed. You will need to connect a router to Network Termination Device (NTD) to access Internet service via WiFi. FTTN – Fibre to the Node utilises fibre optic cable to the nearest node to your premises. The signal from the optic fibre cable then travels down through existing copper lines to the primary telephone wall socket. A VDSL2 compatible modem router is required for this type of connection to work. FTTB – Fibre to the Building utilises fibre optic cable all the way to a shared point in the building’s communications room. From there, the connection travels along the existing copper lines to each customer. In order for this type of connection to function a VDSL2 compatible modem router is required. FTTC – Fibre to the Curb is the newest technology available in which it is capable of bringing optic fibre cables almost all the way to your premises. The connection then travels through existing copper cables into the home for quick and stable internet. An nbn™ connection device, short for NCD, is then set up within the premises and then connected to the primary telephone wall socket. You will need to connect a router into nbn™ NCD to access Internet service HFC – Hybrid Fibre Coaxial is utilised where there is an existing cable network can be used to make the final part of the connection. Similarly, with FTTN and FTTB, fibre optic cable is connected to a nearby node. A coaxial cable is then used to connect to an nbn™ device which is installed inside the customer’s premises. You will need to connect a router to nbn™ HFC NTD to access the Internet service.   How many devices are you connecting to the Wi-Fi? A modem router can generally accommodate up to 32 clients per wireless band. So, if the number of users is expected to be higher than that, then a dual-band router is suggested which can make the connection in two different frequency bands i.e., 2.4 GHz and 5GHz. A number of wired clients depend upon the number of ethernet ports available at the back of the modem router. Generally most of the modem routers equipped with four ethernet ports and most of the modern-day modem routers equipped with a wan port as well as with the rest of the LAN ports. What is the 802.11 family? Wi-Fi was developed and standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which classifies the technology within the 802 family of standards for local area networks. The IEEE’s full code for Wi-Fi is 802.11. Older models of routers use 802.11 standards with the letter followed by such as “a”,” b”,” g”,” n” etc. But for the modern-day broadband internet, the least version suggested is 802.11ac. With every upgraded version of the standard, there is a boost of internet speed provided by the router. For example, “ac” routers which are also known as Wi-Fi 5 router can provide wireless connection on dual-band i.e., 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. There is less interference in the “ac” router as it can have access of 5GHz, which previous routers could not as they use 2.4Ghz only. You can find many other signals in the same frequency range such as radios to the baby monitors to microwave ovens, hence, there would be a lot of interference in the signal. The latest version of 802.11 is “ax” which is also known as Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 technology is not only about high speed but also about high(wide?) range. Instead of boosting the speed for individual devices, Wi-Fi 6 is all about improving the network when a bunch of devices is connected. Wi-Fi 6 has introduced a mesh router system(which system?) which consists of the main router that connects directly to your modem, and a series of satellite modules, or nodes, placed around your house for full Wi-Fi coverage. They are all part of a single wireless network and share the same SSID and password, unlike traditional Wi-Fi routers. At OCCOM we provide our client with WI-FI 6 routers as well. We recommend our NETGEAR AX1800 MESH WI-FI 6 2-PACK router which has a dual-band, speed up to 1200 Mbps, and anti-interference capability. USB Compatibility: Also, you can consider if your modem router is equipped with a USB port or not. Look on the back of your router and you will probably see a USB port. A router will typically connect to a modem over Ethernet to provide it with a connection to the Internet, so what is the USB port for? The USB port on the back of a router allows for different peripherals to be connected. The most common use cases are connecting a printer or external storage device, so they are accessible to multiple devices over a fixed wireless connection. How about the Wi-Fi coverage? Wi-Fi modem routers operating on the 2.4 GHz band can reach up to 150 feet indoors and 300 feet outdoors. Older 802.11a routers that ran on 5 GHz bands reached approximately one-third of these distances. Newer 802.11n and 802.11ac routers that operate on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands reach greater distances. You can choose the modem router based on the wireless range that you require. If you happen to have a large home or an … Read more
