NBN Co increases construction capacity as rollout ramps up

Your address

The nbn^® network is not currently available in your building

We have made several attempts to initiate the process of establishing an nbn network connection to your building, however we have been unsuccessful in our engagement with the building’s authorised representative. Consequently, nbn does not currently plan to install a network connection to your building, unless we receive a request from the Owners’ Corporation.

If you currently use existing fixed line phone or internet services there are a number of implications to be aware of:

Critical copper services such as emergency lift phones and monitored fire alarm systems may be at risk of disconnection.*
Occupiers may not be able to continue to access other critical services connected to the existing Fixed Line networks such as medical alarms and emergency call systems, monitored security alarms and fax machines.^{^}
Existing fixed line services will be disconnected at a future date and occupiers will not be able to make phone calls or access the internet over the Fixed Line network unless the nbn supplied equipment is installed at the property. The disconnection of existing Fixed Line services will not affect occupier's ability to access phone and internet services over mobile networks.
Future requests for an nbn network connection will result in costs payable by the Owners Corporation and/or owners/occupiers.

However, if your phone and internet services are already provided via another fibre network, they will continue to operate as normal unless your provider advises otherwise.

nbn strongly recommends that you contact your current provider of phone and internet services, or visit www.nbn.com.au/switchoff for more information about whether your services will be impacted by the rollout of the nbn network.^#

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you decide to request an installation in the future.

Note: Some customers may be given an earlier disconnection date from their phone and internet provider. Please contact your current provider for further information.

Although most existing services will be replaced by the nbn network, there are some services that should not be impacted. These include those services provided over non-nbn fibre networks, as well as some services in some apartment complexes, and some business and Special Services. If you are currently receiving broadband services using one of these networks, your broadband services will not be disconnected and you do not need to move to the nbn network if you do not want to. nbn strongly recommends you contact your current phone and internet provider for more information.

Disconnection information

Premises connected to the nbn^® network via nbn Fixed Wireless won't be disconnected from their existing phone and internet services by nbn.

If you want to keep your existing copper phone line active when you order a service over nbn Fixed Wireless, you should speak to your phone and internet provider at the time you place your order.

Planned technology

nbn Satellite*

Good news! It looks like your location may be eligible for the business nbn^® Satellite Service⁺. The business nbn Satellite Service is designed to support business-grade internet, data and voice services^§ to Australian businesses in remote and rural areas^{^}.

Disconnection information

Premises connected to the nbn^® network via nbn Satellite won't be disconnected from their existing phone and internet services by nbn.

nbn™ Sky Muster™ and nbn™ Sky Muster™ Plus are subject to eligibility criteria. Premises identified by nbn as medium/large business premises are not to be serviced by nbn™ Sky Muster™ or nbn™ Sky Muster^™ Plus. The nbn™ Satellite product available to medium/large business premises is business nbn™ Satellite Service. If you’re interested in nbn™ Sky Muster™ or nbn™ Sky Muster™ Plus services or believe your premises has been incorrectly categorised please contact your phone and internet provider.

The business nbn Satellite Service provides voice support for VoIP carriage and is not a voice provider.

An end customer’s experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ network, depends on the nbn™ access technology and configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside nbn’s control (like your equipment quality, software, broadband plan, signal reception and how your service provider designs its network).

Downer EDI wins $94M contract for northern NSW construction

NBN Co has awarded a contract to Downer EDI Engineering Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Downer EDI Limited, to provide additional construction capacity for the rollout of the NBN in northern NSW.

The contract is valued up to $94 million over two years, with two one-year options to renew.

NBN Co Chief Operating Officer, Ralph Steffens said: “Today’s announcement means more construction workers rolling out more fibre to more homes and businesses.”

Mr Steffens said he expected today’s announcement to be the first in a series of contract awards over coming months as NBN Co ramps up construction activity. The company has previously noted it plans to add more construction resources over time to meet the needs of its expanding rollout program.

“We have now established key contract terms and conditions to allow us to streamline the process of engaging new contractors as the pace of work accelerates,” said Mr. Steffens.

Under the contract announced today, Downer will be responsible for the rollout of the passive network from the fibre access node (FAN) all the way to the box outside the home ready to connect to the network when the occupants order a service from their chosen provider.

Downer, a leading Australian engineering and infrastructure management services company, also recently signed a contract worth up to $66 million with NBN Co for design and construction services covering residential apartments and flats in NSW, Victoria and the ACT.

The contract was awarded following a select tender process, and its value is within the Corporate Plan targets.

Notes to Editors

The latest contract adds to the list of companies NBN Co has contracted with to construct the local and distribution network so far: Visionstream - Tasmania; Syntheo (a Lend Lease/Service Stream joint venture) - NT, SA, WA; Transfield - Victoria; Silcar - NSW, Qld and the ACT.

The Government’s objective is for NBN Co to rollout fibre optic broadband, designed to offer its Retail Service Provider customers wholesale download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second*, to 93 per cent of Australian premises by June 2021.

The remaining premises are expected to receive high-speed broadband via fixed-wireless or satellite.

NBN Co is a wholesale company, and those wishing to switch their phone and internet to the National Broadband Network need to speak to their telephone or internet service provider. These are listed at wwww.nbnco.com.au/serviceproviders

For more information visit www.nbnco.com.au

* NBN Co is designing the NBN to be capable of delivering these speeds to NBN Co’s wholesale customers (telephone and internet service providers). Speeds actually achieved by retail customers (end users) will depend on a number of factors including the quality of their equipment and in-premises connection, the broadband plans offered by their service provider and how their service provider designs its network to cater for multiple end users
