Yes, for the old copper network.

I have no idea what you are looking for. Me, I look for any interesting cars or trailers for sale. And properties with sheds.
What are you trying to do?

Telcos are putting NBN customers on a voice-only speed, Morrow tells committee

I am about 800 metres from the local exchange. Between there and here there is only this:

Is this a node?

I rather doubt it - since it is labelled "Telstra". I think it is just some sort of junction box.

The node you connect to is not necessarily between you and the exchange - it could be on your other side, opposite direction, or down a side street etc. But should be within about half a kilometre of you.

The exchange is also labelled Telstra. but fair enough, I know nothing much about distribution. There are none of those fibro pillars anywhere near me, which is why I asked. I guess I'll look harder.

Look at my picture. A couple of posts earlier. That is what you are looking for.
Me, I have better things to find.

Oh, you'll probably find the node is in a pit.
