All types of nbn broadband access network connections that utilise a physical line running to the premises are considered Fixed Line connections. An nbn Fibre to the Building (FTTB) connection is generally used when we are connecting an apartment block or similar types of buildings to the nbn access network. In this scenario we run a fibre optic line to the fibre node in the building’s communications room, and then we use the existing technology in the building to connect to each apartment.
The fibre node is likely to take the form of a secure cabinet in your building’s communications room. Each cabinet will allow the nbn access network signal to travel over a fibre optic line, to the existing network technology present in the building.
To prepare for your new nbn powered plan, set up your VDSL2 compatible modem as pictured below. If you already have a modem, it must be VDSL2 compatible for it to work over the nbn™ access network.
