nbn™ FTTC made easy
nbn™ Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) connection is used in circumstances where fibre is extended close to your premises, connecting to a small Distribution Point Unit (DPU), generally located inside a pit on the street. From here, the existing copper network is connected to the fibre to form the final nbn™ connection. To power your nbn™ FTTC service with electricity and provide your connection to the nbn™ network, an nbn™ connection box will be required inside your home or business.
nbn™ FTTC installation
There are two ways nbn™ FTTC can be installed at your premises – through an nbn™ approved installer or if eligible, through self-installation.
When you contact your phone and internet provider to connect to the nbn™ network, they will confirm which installation process applies to your premises.
