Before organising your switch to nbn<\/a>, you’ll need to consider a few important factors depending on what devices you have connected at your home or office.<\/p>\n The rollout of the nbn network involves new fibre-based technologies which means some existing devices may not be compatible. Examples of these include:<\/p>\n If you have any of the above devices, we strongly recommend contacting the device provider to find out if this will still work once you switch to nbn and if not, what alternative solutions are available.<\/p>\n Best plan for 1-2 people<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n *For first 6 mths with BINGE25<\/p>\r\n Then reverts to $76\/mth<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n Typical busy period download speed (7pm to 11 pm)<\/p>\r\n *Speeds may be lower on FTTN\/B, FTTC<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n You should also contact your prospective nbn provider to get some more information regarding any of the above devices – especially for medical alarms and emergency call buttons. In this case, you’ll need to choose an nbn provider<\/a> that can offer Priority Assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n In some instances, switching to nbn may not be straight forward. This includes new developments, granny flats, out-buildings and complex installations – particularly those that may require trenching or additional cabling.<\/p>\n If you’re about to move in or you’re building a new home, it’s best to plan ahead. Think about how you plan to use a phone and\/or the internet in your new home. Make a note of what you will use in each room, including the phone and data points you might need.<\/p>\n Mark where you want to place the phone and data points (and any connections) on a plan of your home. Keep your plans safe and handy, so you\u2019re ready to discuss them with your developer or builder.<\/p>\n Depending on when you move in, you may be able to have input on where any nbn equipment is installed (subject to certain requirements). It\u2019s also worth considering your in-home cabling needs and discussing these with a registered cabler.<\/p>\n Connecting to the nbn network may require nbn supplied equipment to be installed by a certified technician. Therefore, if you are renting and you want to switch to nbn you will need to inform your landlord prior to installation and receive approval before any work is commenced. If you\u2019re not in direct contact with your landlord, you will need to contact your property manager or real estate agent.<\/p>\n Your landlord can decide where the nbn equipment will be installed in your property and may be present during the installation process. A landlord can also request the installation of nbn equipment.<\/p>\n Installation may include drilling, ducting and trenching to accommodate cables or the installation of a satellite dish or fixed wireless antenna on the property in the walls, ceiling or on the floor<\/p>\n In most cases, outbuildings or granny flats that share the same address as the primary residence on a block of land cannot apply for a new nbn connection \u2013 each connection must be linked to a unique address.<\/p>\n To connect outbuildings or granny flats to nbn, you may need to extend your existing connection from the primary residence \u2013 by either extending the signal of your local Wi-Fi network or by installing an additional service through a registered cabler.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the process of applying for a new address (i.e. sub-dividing one address into two or more lots), and would like to connect it to the nbn, then you should apply with nbn as a new development<\/a>.<\/p>\n If your address doesn\u2019t appear when you check your address, or if you would like to request an additional connection on a property with more than one residence on it, you\u2019ll need to contact an nbn provider, like MATE. We’ll be able to contact nbn to assist in making these changes.<\/p>\n As part of the process, we may request information such as the coordinates of the property you wish to connect, and proof that the property is occupied.<\/p>\n If you have any questions about anything to do with cheap nbn plans, no contract nbn, nbn technologies, nbn plans, the national broadband network rollout or availability, or you need even more information, don’t hesitate to drop us a line and get in touch via one of the methods below:<\/p>\n Preparation is key before making the switch Before organising your switch to nbn, you’ll need to consider a few important factors depending on what devices you have connected at your home or office.
