Frequently asked questions

In many cases, it takes just a few minutes to switch the connection to Telstra at your new home. Once your order is processed and your new modem has arrived (if applicable), you’ll be able to plug it in and get connected.

If a technician needs to help connect your new home to the fixed access network, you can get online in the meantime with 4G mobile backup on the Telstra Smart Modem.

4G coverage required. Backup speeds capped at 25/5 Mbps. Actual speeds may be lower.

We deliver modems in up to 3 days for metro areas and up to 7 days for regional areas.

Yes, you can select the date you’d like the internet to be connected. The earlier you book the date with us the better. If you choose the self-installation option you’ll need to give us at least 2 business days’ notice.  

If you require a technician, or choose the professional installation option, you’ll need to give us at least 7 business days’ notice.

The more notice you give, the more likely we can complete your move on your preferred day – especially if a Telstra or third-party fixed access network technician visit is required. 

We’ll help you get it set up. Depending on the network technology available at your address, we may arrange an appointment with the appropriate third-party fixed access network technician. We’ll let you know what’s needed once you’ve placed your order.

In areas serviced by nbn co, we may be required to connect services to the nbn network. If you’re in a new development and not already connected to the nbn network, nbn co may charge $300 to connect your premises to the nbn network. If applicable, we will bill that charge to you. Once you are connected to nbn fibre, you won’t be able to move to our copper network. Extra charges may apply for non-standard or professional install of Telstra or nbn co equipment and for premises in new developments.

If you're a new customer, you won't be charged for your internet service until it is active. By then we will have cancelled your old service and notified your old provider. 

If you're an existing customer, we'll transfer your service from your old address to your new address so there's no double-up. Your plan and contract will remain the same unless you change plans as part of your move.

It’s unlikely, but if this is the case, you’ll need to provide documentation to prove that you’re moving into the new address. 

Yes, if you have an active phone line at your current address then we’ll transfer your phone service along with the internet service to your new address. 

In most cases you’ll be able to keep the same phone number. Standard conditions apply about moving from one exchange to another. If you can’t keep your number, we’ll provide you with a new one.

Once you’ve booked your move, we’ll let you know within 48 hours if a technician is required.

For example if your house is a new development or is being connected to the nbn for the first time, or you’re a Priority Assistance customer, you may need a technician to visit.

Medical security alarms, lift phones and fire indicator panels

If you have a medical alarm, lift phone or fire indicator panel, you need to register these services with nbn co by calling 1800 227 300. Medical alarms can also be registered online at nbn.com.au/medicalregister.

As well as registering, you must also contact your medical alarm, lift phone or fire indicator panel provider to arrange the transfer of these services to the nbn network.
