Installing fibre to your house involves physically connecting a fibre optic cable to your property from the roadside. A technician from your local fibre supplier will choose the best option (such as surface mounting, digging a trench, underground cabling or through your aerial cables). A fibre install requires a special box (ONT) to be installed in your home. You’ll need to agree to your local fibre supplier's end user terms first.
A standard new fibre installation in your home is currently free. However, if you require your fibre landline service to be connected to your existing wiring and jackpoints, you will need to stipulate this when you order the service. This will allow you to continue to use any devices that are connected to the home jackpoints such as extra phones monitored alarms, faxes, and set top boxes. It is called a non-standard installation, which could cost you up to $175.
