- Do not share your bank or personal details with an unsolicited caller or with those who door knock claiming to be from nbn trying to sell you an nbn™ service or seek payment for related services.
- nbn™ approved technicians and workers carry enAble™ identification cards – always request to see this card before providing physical access to your address.
- Never give an unsolicited caller remote access to your computer via the installation of programs such as Team Viewer.
- nbn does not call you with automated assistance to advise you will be disconnected – we suggest you hang up the phone.
- nbn is a ‘wholesaler’ – you will need to purchase an nbn™ powered plan through a phone or internet provider. We only accept direct payment from the public in certain circumstances e.g. switching technologies at your premises.
Australia is currently undergoing a digital transformation from a copper backbone network, to a fibre backbone network. This will affect the way you currently use your landline, particularly in a power outage.
Equipment connected over the nbn™ network will not work during a power blackout. Below is more information about how each technology used in the nbn™ Multi Technology Mix (MTM) is affected by power loss.
The rollout of the nbn™ network will involve new technologies and some existing devices may not be compatible with these at all times.
