VDSL2 is only available within the ACT.
Your VDSL2 modem and any other hardware in your order will be dispatched by courier to your nominated delivery address. If a technician visit is required for your connection, they will set up the delivered VDSL2 modem for you.
Technician appointments are available within the following 4-hour blocks on business days:
Someone over the age of 18 must be present during your appointment to allow the technician to gain access to your premises.
Firstly, you’ll receive an SMS from the technician on the day of their visit.
When the technician arrives at your property, ensure you check their ID before letting them inside to ensure they are a tech2home contracted VDSL2 technician.
If your premises has previously been connected to a VDSL2 network, standard installation will normally take between approximately 30 minutes to an hour. If your premises has never been connected to VDSL2 before, then an overhead aerial cable to your house (from power pole into your roof) will be required. This is included in your standard setup, and installation may take up to 2 hours to complete.
Once the physical installation is complete, our technician will then test to ensure your connection is working before they leave. If your Netphone (VoIP) service activation has been completed by the date of your installation, they’ll be able to test this too.
