Get Fibre Ready installation

Our technician will install an external termination point (ETP) at the property and connect it to an optical network terminal (ONT) inside the house. They’ll make use of the preinstalled duct to do this. You do not need to be there.

We’ll leave an information brochure at the property informing the future occupant that fibre is installed. We’ll also provide some helpful tips to get connected. The property is now ready for the occupant to order fibre!


Tips – Before you start

The date you indicate for the installation of our equipment should be after Electrical Fitoff (a power supply should also be available) and after an approved duct has been installed (Red / Black ABF 7mm) and the white internal fibre tube installed.

Best practice data wiring (Cat6 Star wired to a jack point in a central area such as behind a TV), and using a recessed access box to house the ONT.

The property being unoccupied.
