I don’t have any regrets and would still use them
if I knew at the time all the detail I now know.

I don’t even care about a slow down in
peak times since I've gone to bed by then.

Yes it will if you end up with better than a 25/5 result at the hardware 
level.

Its much more complicated than that. The simplest approach
is to continue to pay TPG for the phone service until the number
has been successfully ported to MR. You'll find that hardly anyone
actually knows what CDNO means, even Telstra Wholesale.

It’s a mode set using Telstra's LOLO system but I spent most of the
day trying to find someone in Telstra who even recognised the terms,
even at local supervisor level. One local supervisor did run the line that
they had new people and that that was the problem, and its certainly
true that almost all of that level of Telstra has been offshored now.

But even that local supervisor couldn’t work out which dept in Telstra
can use LOLO and do a CDNO. She connected me to NBN Billing in
Telstra and although they did recognise the terms, couldn’t actually
use LOLO and so couldn’t do a CDNO. He initially decided that the
best approach was to give me a whole new phone line on the spare
copper pair to my house, at no cost to me and was setting up a
personal visit by an NBN tech to do that until I pointed out how
inappropriate that was. And I'm not convinced that it would have
happened either because once an area goes RFS, Ready For Service,
with FTTN, you cant have any new POTS or adsl services provisioned.

He then decided that a number reservation in the physical exchange
which is done by a person in the exchange would be just as good,
and that got done on Thursday. It remains to be seen if MR can now
to a port request that will succeed.

And the other problem with Telstra is that if it doesn’t, there is no
way to get in contact with that person in Telstra again. I find it hard
to believe that if I ask for John in NBN Billing I will be able to get him
again. He did send me an SMS when the number reservation had been
done, but you can't even reply to that SMS, it’s a general SMS number
that Telstra uses for immense numbers of outgoing SMSs.

I must have been thru at least 10 different depts in Telstra that
day with just NBN billing even recognising the terms CDNO
and LOLO and even supervisors don’t appear to be able to put
those terms into their system and see what dept can do them.

Corse they do and he just fobbed you off on that.

That’s one real downside with MR, there still isnt any status page
where you can change that stuff yourself. They have only just got
billing working this year, so that’s not very surprising.
