To utilize a fibre broadband connection, the following criteria need to be fulfilled from Open Net/NetLink Trust end:
a) the required fibre infrastructure in your area and
b) the Termination Point (TP) in your premises
The NetLink Trust TP contains optical fibre cables and connects to the rest of the Next Gen NBN. It’s a physical line from your address to the wider network.
Description: The image above displays an installed Netlink Trust Termination Point with 2 available ports.
✅ To see if your address is ready for fibre broadband, perform a coverage check on the NetLink Trust website.
If your TP is installed, NetLink Trust takes 1 to 4 weeks to test the end-to-end connection to your TP and to update their databases.
