2. What is nbn™? nbn™ is a wholesale only provider.
The nbn™ is an Australia wide project to upgrade the existing fixed line phone and Internet network infrastructure. The aim is to provide high speed broadband access to all Australians, scheduled for completion in 2020.
Due to the nature and size of Australia, nbn™ plans to use a mix of technologies to deliver the nbn™, using best fit solutions for each area, which is referred to as the Multi Technology Mix (MTM).

3. nbn™ IBO opportunity
Ramping up to a total of 11.9 million premises by 2020*

6. nbn™ Multi Technology Mix (MTM)
Fibre to the Premises is fibre connected all the way into a customer premises
Fixed Wireless uses a fixed wireless base station that has a line of sight to an antenna which is fixed to a customer premises

7. nbn™ Multi Technology Mix (MTM)
Fibre to the Node is delivered using fibre to a node in the street which then connects to the existing copper infrastructure
Fibre to the Basement is delivered using fibre all the way to the basement of a building which then connects to the existing copper infrastructure

8. nbn™ Multi Technology Mix (MTM)
HFC (outside premises)
HFC is delivered using coaxial cable in the street from the nearest node to an external utility box or premises connection device (PCD).

9. nbn™ Multi Technology Mix (MTM)
HFC (outside premises)
If customers have a pay TV or cable internet service connected to the same wall outlet as their nbn™ connection box (also known as a network terminating device (NTD), they will need a splitter. ACN will send customers a user guide with the modem that then connects to the nbn™ connection box / network terminating device (NTD).

10. nbn™ time to switch
Once 90% of an area has been passed by NBN Co. the area is deemed Ready For Service (RFS) and Service Providers, such as ACN, can start to sell their nbn™ services within that area. Approximately 2 weeks after RFS, Cease Sale (CS) commences. This means for FW, HFC, FTTP, FTTN, FTTB technologies:
Traditional phone and/or DSL services can no longer be connected once CS commences.
Customers can only sign up to or transfer existing Phone and Broadband services to an ACN nbn™ plan.
The copper network will be disconnected to homes/businesses 18 months after CS.
Copper disconnection for Fixed Wire & HFC technology is yet to be confirmed.

11. Connecting to nbn™
Ask the nbn™ Ninja if an address is RFS at
The Ninja will advise if the address will be ready in the next 12 months.
Alternatively visit ACN's nbn™ coverage page at acnpacific.com/nbn-rollout-coverage/ to check whether an address is RFS. Customers can:
Check which areas are nbn™ RFS by selecting a state and then a suburb. The names of new residential developments can also be checked.
Enter a specific address via the nbn™ Rollout Map
Please note: once nbn™ declares an area RFS, this does not mean that all premises will be immediately serviceable and/or able to get nbn™. Exceptions may include multi-level dwellings.

12. Register your interest
If an address isn’t serviceable by nbn™, customers can register their interest online at acnpacific.com/nbn-register-your-interest/
ACN will also proactively contact existing Broadband & Phone Service customers when their existing network is due to be disconnected.

An order received .
An appointment to advise them of their nbn™ Technician appointment(s) and other important information.
Or an activation to advise them of their nbn™ activation date if no technician appointment is required.
A service is ready , sent within 24-hours of nbn™ service activation advising their service is live and that they can connect their equipment.
IBOs will be able to track the order progress of their customers’ nbn™ service via their Personal Customer List (PCL)

29. Important information for customers
The nbn™ provisioning process is dictated by nbn™ (not ACN). Therefore your customers will be provisioned by nbn™ inline with other nbn™ resellers, such as Telstra. It can take anywhere from 10 days – 6 weeks* (depending on service class) for a nbn™ service to be connected and activated. To minimise any delays, customers are advised to:
Ensure entry of correct and complete information during online sign up.
Expect to receive an from ACN within 7 working days of their successful online sign-up regarding scheduling of their appointment.
Customers who are unable to attend the nbn™ “next available” appointment, are recommended to nominate someone (either family or friend) over the age of 18 to stand in for them and make decisions on their behalf.

30. Important information for customers
Where an appointment date is not suitable for the customer, alternative appointment blocks will be recommended by ACN. However, it can take several weeks for another appointment block to be secured with nbn™.
Alternative appointment blocks will not be “first available” and are not secured until confirmation is received back from nbn™. All appointments are only held for 24 hours and forfeited if not confirmed within 24 hours.
Your customers must ensure at least 3 business days notice is provided if an appointment needs to be changed or cancelled. A cancellation fee of up to $220 will be issued by NBN Co. and passed on to the customer via ACN.
Customers should not disconnect existing broadband or phone services prior to activation of their new ACN nbn™ Service. In most instances, the customer will not need to do anything. However, they will be instructed by ACN on what needs to be done, if anything, after their ACN nbn™ service is activated.

31. Important information for customers
For FTTP, HFC and FW, existing customers can have their new nbn™ Broadband service alongside their existing ADSL service. This means they should not experience any downtime as they can continue to use their ADSL service until their new nbn™ service is connected. For FTTB and FTTN it is not possible to have an ADSL service alongside these nbn™ technologies. For these customers ACN will aim to arrange the activation of the service so that there is minimal service interruption.
