These locations are not eligible for nbn service as there is already a similar service available from another company.<\/p>\n<p>Or, your address might be a <span class=\"tooltip\" title=\"This includes a second dwelling on the same block, like a granny flat or detached studio.\">granny flat or outbuilding<\/span> that shares the same primary address. Unfortunately, nbn typically does not provide separate connections to these unless they are registered as distinct addresses.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, your address might not yet be <strong>registered with nbn<\/strong>. If the property is new or still under development, the developer or builder will need to submit a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbnco.com.au\/develop-or-plan-with-the-nbn\/new-developments\/submit-and-apply\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Development Application<\/a> to nbn.

If our team tried to reach you several times by phone or email and didn\u2019t receive a reply, your order may have been cancelled due to <span class=\"tooltip\" title=\"Our team always makes multiple contact attempts before cancelling.\">no response<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h6>Cancelled by request<\/h6>\n<p>If you asked us to cancel your order \u2014 through email, phone or live chat \u2014 we\u2019ve followed your request and stopped the order from going ahead.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 1em; background-color: #d7f6e6; border-left: 5px solid #00b26b;\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Helpful tip\"><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Tip:<\/strong> Not sure why your order was cancelled?
