The short answer is ‘not much’. The technology is delivered to you through the same copper line as your ADSL. To go from ADSL to FTTN you just need to change your modem. You may not even have to do that. Your modem simply needs to support a technology called VDSL. When FTTN is activated, your new modem goes in with the appropriate internet login and you are live.
FTTP services require a standard, Ethernet Router.
The installation of NBN can take anywhere from 1 day to 4 weeks for FTTN, and longer for FTTP. It just depends on how long it takes an NBN technician to put your telephone line into the node. When this happens, you will need to plug in your new modem that supports VDSL.
FTTP depends on extensive Fibre infrastructure being installed, and then further physical connection to your premises, where it is terminated on a Network Termination Unit (NTU).
When we install FTTN on your line, nothing happens to your phone line with Telstra. The issue with this is that all phone services on the NBN need to be converted to VoIP in a specified time. NBN actually give you up to 18 months to do this. In your time we can port you over to our VoIP service to ensure you keep your phone number. All phone services will run via VoIP after your number is ported.
We need the phone number of the line you would like to setup the NBN on. Once we have this, we can set it up for you.
