Time draws near for switching over to NBN in South Morang

Three, two, one … the copper countdown is on in South Morang.

Residents and business owners have just three days left to switch their landline phones, ADSL internet and Telstra cable internet services over to the National Broadband Network before the old copper connections “melt down”.

NBN Co spokesman Trent Williams said the move to the NBN was not automatic.

“Homes and business owners who want to keep using these services must place an order with their preferred phone company or internet service provider as soon as possible,” Mr Williams said.

“We are particularly urging people with special equipment, including eftpos terminals and medical and security alarms, which operate using a landline phone connection, to check with their preferred service provider about moving these services across to the NBN.
