Brimbank residents are urged to check their home’s eligibility for the NBN with fixed line services in some suburbs due to be disconnected in the coming months.
Most Australian homes with a fixed line connection, which includes HFC, FTTB, FTTN and FTTP, will have an 18-month migration window.
This means that from the date their house is eligible for NBN broadband access, residents will have 18 months until their old phone line is switched off.
However, the length of the migration window can differ depending on which retailer is contracted to provide the service.
Selected areas of Keilor Park, St Albans, Delahey, Tullamarine and Burnside Heights are nearing the end of their migration window.
NBN Co public affairs manager James Kaufman encouraged residents to continually monitor the NBN website to avoid service disruptions.
“The cut-off date for legacy phone services is not uniform across the western suburbs of Melbourne; it is aligned to the date the home becomes ready for service,” Mr Kaufman said.
“Once the home is ready for service on the NBN access network most homes will have an 18-month migration period to transition.
“We encourage readers to check their address and register for updates on the NBN website for more information.”
