Spare Nlt port means what? Must have 2 fiber termination boxes?
Click to expand...
NLT port (Netlink Trust port) = The 2 ports at your Fibre Termnation Point (FTP)

Each of these ports will be activated and connected via a short run of fibre cable to either an ONT or ONR when your sign up with your fibre broadband ISP

The second port of the FTP will be activated and use to connect to your second ONT/ONR (provided by your new ISP) when you sign up for a second fibre broadband with this new ISP

“Spare NLT port” means at least one of your 2 ports must be currently unused (ie you must currently not have more than one fibre broadband ISP)

Has anyone heard anything on the availability of digital voice line add-on or perhaps bundled with the fibre broadband?

For those in the east and eligible and thinking of being a guinea pig, here's the total upfront cost.

The 3 months deposit is what is making me hold back at the moment although it's refundable. I guess that they learn from their free trial of the mobile services years ago where the uptake of free trial subscribers doesn't equate to paid subscribers.

The NLT and ONT charges are expected can't escape from that. The quarterly billing maybe easier for their accounting purposes perhaps? And the gst to be increase soon

As always early adopters has it ups and down. I'm still mulling over this. My m1 fbb is not under contract so if I do take this up I'll be paying for 2 services.

I'm also interested to see who here have taken up the offer but then not all reside in the east.

Maybe bite the bullet?

Since ONT is the only "real" cost here, I'm just on the fence due to no digital home line bundled in or offered as an add on at this point.

Does the three month deposit means that there must be three months notice for cancellation?

30 days notice before the end of the 12 month contract. If decide to continue then that 3 months deposit will become your 5th quarterly payment.

If I'm not wrong, its probably due to netlink trust. There should be a minimum "contract" period required by NLT for Simba to activate the link to your FTP.

There was such a practice at the start of opennet (now NLT) many years ago,
