General Information
What is VDSL2?
VDSL (Very-high-bitrate Digital Subscriber Line) gives you superfast broadband speeds delivered over a Fibre to the Node network in the ACT. Fibre optic cable connects to nodes and from there short lengths of dedicated copper cables connect to a VDSL2 wall socket in your premises.
VDSL2 Installation
How long does it take to get connected to VDSL2?
Typically, VDSL2 connections are completed within 10 business days although in some cases connection may take up to 20 business days - this varies depending on whether or not you've had VDSL2 installed at your address previously as well as VDSL2 installer availability. In such scenarios, you or someone over the age of 18 must be in attendance for the appointment.
Connections may occur sooner if VDSL2 has previously been connected at your address and no installer is required.
What happens when VDSL2 is installed?
If a VDSL2 installer is required to visit your premises to install any required equipment or complete your VDSL2 connection, we'll be in touch to book a suitable appointment with you. In such scenarios, you or someone over the age of 18 must be in attendance for the appointment.
An installation is typically not required if VDSL2 has been previously connected at your address within the last 6 months.
