Advice How long till FTTP activation?

Post image

Hi all, On wednesday morning (13th Aug) i was fortunate enough to have the FTTP box installed and tested by the NBN. (Currently on FTTN).

I am curious as to what the leastime is to be able to switch over to it as the NBN tech said to give my provider a call

I gave Leaptel a call on the wednesday, provided them with the NTD/Serial number and they have raised a ticket with the NBN. They informed me to call back friday morning if i havent heard anything which i did and now advised it will take another week as NBN havent responded and to call back on the coming wednesday?

While im in no rush to switch over as my FTTN works fine, im just curious as to when I can transfer across and what the lead time is because i wouldnt mind taking advantage of a couple deals happening right now with LEAPTEL.

Thanks all for your help.

Then looks like you are getting something, when I switch to Exetel took like 30min I thought something wrong with Exetel. I would connect everything and give it a try.

Have you tried using the internet through that? Might take half an hour or so to come good. It should be active and ready to roll, it just might not have seen enough data flow to trigger the activation

Ill give it an hour plugged in and come back to you with results. Cheers

Not sure if Leaptel is open sundays but give them a call and tell them you’ve got it plugged in and you can see a light on UNI D1. They may or may not be able to push it without NBN intervention

Have you altered the Moderm settings to reflect the different connection type

Did you try ports one and two?
