Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Under Australian regulations, any fixed telecommunications cabling connected to the telecommunications network must be installed or altered by an ACMA registered cabler. This includes phone lines, NBN cabling, Ethernet cabling and data outlets. Learn more about our ACMA Registered Cabler services if you need compliant installations or repairs in Melbourne.

Not sure whether the issue is with your internal wiring or the NBN network itself? This is a common cause of slow internet, NBN dropouts, and unstable FTTP connections in Melbourne homes and businesses.

We recommend first contacting your internet service provider to check for outages or network issues in your area. If there are no external faults, the issue may be caused by your internal data cabling, outlets, or network setup.

In this case, an experienced technician can test your NBN FTTP connection and internal cabling to accurately identify the fault. Once on-site, we use professional testing equipment to locate the issue quickly and carry out the necessary repairs to restore a stable connection.

This is because the current infrastructure at your premises is not compatible with the NBN or they are unable to install new cables to upgrade you to the NBN.

If you are unsure about what infrastructure is needed you may want to consider a site visit by one of our techs.

With extensive knowledge of the NBN, we can check…

  1. If your current conduit is usable (i.e Not blocked or damaged)
  2. Whether the current cable is usable for the NBN
  3. If necessary assess the premises for new cable or conduit work

 

Nothing is more frustrating than a slow or unreliable Wi-Fi network at home, especially when your internet plan is fast but coverage is poor.

There are several ways to improve Wi-Fi coverage and performance across your home, including:

  • Upgrading your modem or router
  • Installing multiple Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
  • Using a mesh system or secondary router to extend Wi-Fi coverage
  • Installing data cabling (Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A) for faster and more stable wired connections
  • Relocating your modem/router to a more central location in the home

In many cases, the best results come from combining professional data cabling with a properly designed Wi-Fi setup, especially in larger or multi-storey homes.

We can assess your property and recommend the best solution to improve your Wi-Fi coverage and NBN performance across your home.

This is a common problem and you are not the only one.

If you have Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and the fibre cable connected to your NBN Network Termination Device (NTD) has been damaged, it will need to be repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Fibre optic cabling is very sensitive and should not be handled or re-terminated without the proper tools and training.

We have specialised fibre technicians that complete these jobs in their sleep! Typically this job is completed in approximately 30 minutes and can be completed the same day you call.
