NBN NTD Relocation
So you have just transitioned to the NBN or looking to move to the NBN network, not sure about what you need to do, or who to call for the right advice?
Had your HFC NTD or FIBRE NTD installed in a place not suitable, or impractical?
Told you have no choice by the NBN Technician? Sorry, it has to go here!!!!!
Know your rights on an NBN NTD installation!!!
Under NBN’s installation guidelines for HFC NTD or FIBRE NTD’s, NBN Technicians must engage with the EU (End User) to discuss a suitable location to mount the NTD and Modem.
We are NBN Trained and Certified on all NBN networks
If the Technician and the EU (End User) are unable to reach an agreement for the installation then the Technician must call NBN to advise, the onus is then placed on the EU (End User) to contact an accredited contractor holding an ACMA open licence with the appropriate endorsements for the cable type being worked on to install the cable from the PCD to the installation point, then re-book your appointment with RSP.
If the EU and the NBN technician can reach an agreement on the installation location then and only then should you allow the Technician to commence the work.
Remember on the completion of the installation the technician will ask you to sign a document – it may be on a tablet or smartphone. The document you sign indicates to NBN that you have agreed to the installation location of the NTD. Once signed you may have no recourse with NBN for them to re-send a technician back to relocate your HFC NTD or FIBRE NTD. Alternatively they may re-send a technician to relocate the NTD at the EU expense.
Turn to the experienced technicians that you can trust to get it right the first time!
