NBN roll out commences – for those in South Morang and Brunswick, make sure you’ve signed up to the NBN

The roll out of the NBN – that is, the switch from services like landline phone and internet connection delivered through copper lines to the new NBN fibre network – commences today. News outlets are reporting that the NBN Co is urging those in the initial sites where the switch off is taking place to sign up before the close of business today. Locally, South Morang and Brunswick are included in the first 15 sites where copper will be progressively switched off.

There has been speculation that HICAPS terminals with a range of phone and internet services on the NBN will be impacted. The NBN lists three steps to take to move fax, EFTPOS, HICAPS or an alarm service to the NBN.
