Business NBN Great Value, Unlimited Data, and No Fixed Contract

New Development Charge: If your business address is located in a new development area or has never been connected to the nbn network, you may be subject to a new development charge. This fee covers the cost of installing nbn infrastructure and varies depending on the complexity of the installation. To determine whether your business address will incur a new development charge, you can check your address on the nbn rollout map or contact us for assistance.

NBN Connection Process: Connecting your business to the national broadband network involves several steps, including checking your business address for nbn availability, choosing an nbn plan, and scheduling an installation appointment. Before your installation, you'll need to ensure your business location is ready for the nbn by considering factors such as power supply, internal wiring, and hardware compatibility. After installation, you'll be provided with a network termination device, which serves as the main point of connection between your business's internal network and the nbn network. To maintain optimal performance, it's important to regularly update your hardware and software configurations.

Service Transfers: Transferring your existing services from your current service provider to us involves several steps. First, you'll need to check your business address for nbn availability and choose an nbn plan. Next, you'll need to contact your current provider to inform them of your decision to switch and discuss any potential fees or contract termination requirements. Once you've chosen an nbn plan with UcPath we'll work with your existing provider to facilitate a smooth transition, minimizing any downtime or disruptions to your business.

Hardware and Software Configuration: Optimal nbn performance depends on a combination of factors, including hardware compatibility, software updates, and network settings. To maximize the benefits of your nbn connection, it's important to use nbn-compatible hardware and regularly update your devices, routers, and software. Additionally, proper network configuration, including the use of a static IP address, can help improve the performance and security of your business's internet connection.

Existing Phone and Telephone Services: Switching to nbn may affect your existing phone and telephone services, depending on the type of telephone service you currently have. Most landline phone services can be migrated to the nbn network without any disruptions. However, it's essential to consult with us to ensure a smooth transition and avoid any potential downtime.

Medical Alarms and Emergency Services: If your business relies on medical alarms or other emergency services, it's essential to ensure their compatibility with the nbn network. Most medical alarm devices are compatible with nbn services, but it's important to check with your device manufacturer or service provider to confirm compatibility and any necessary adjustments. Before switching to nbn, you should also notify your medical alarm provider and emergency services of the upcoming change to avoid potential disruptions. Once your nbn connection is active, it's important to test your medical alarms and other emergency services to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Standard Plus (50/20 Mbps): Ideal for businesses with low internet usage, including video conferencing, cloud services, and multiple simultaneous users.

Premium (100/40 Mbps): Designed for businesses with high internet demands, such as large file transfers, multiple simultaneous users, and extensive online activities.

Ultra-Fast (1000/400 Mbps): Tailored for businesses with extremely high internet requirements, supporting seamless large-scale data transfers, advanced cloud services, and numerous concurrent users.

Evening Speeds: Evening speeds refer to the average internet speed experienced by users during peak usage hours (typically between 7 pm and 11 pm). These internet speeds can be affected by various factors, such as network congestion and the number of users sharing the same nbn connection. UcPath ensures that our business nbn plans deliver consistent evening speeds, allowing your business to continue operating smoothly even during peak hours.

Fixed Line Connections and Fixed Wireless: Fixed line connections and fixed wireless are two types of nbn services available for businesses. Fixed line connections use physical cables, such as fibre-optic, to deliver internet services, while fixed wireless relies on radio signals to provide internet connectivity. Fixed line connections generally offer higher speeds and more reliable internet connections, while fixed wireless can be a suitable option for businesses in remote areas where fixed line connections are not available.

A: Business nbn plans are specifically designed to cater to the unique requirements of businesses, such as higher speeds, more reliable connections, static IP addresses, and priority business support. These plans often include features that facilitate smoother business operations and cater to higher internet usage demands compared to residential nbn plans.

We will keep you informed about the installation timeline and any necessary steps you need to take.

Q: What happens to my business internet connection during a power outage?
A: During a power outage, your nbn connection and any devices powered by electricity, such as modems and routers, may stop working.

Network Boundary Point and Network Termination Device: The network boundary point is the demarcation between the nbn network and your business's internal network. The network termination device (NTD) is the primary connection point between these networks, allowing your business to access the internet via the nbn. It's essential to understand the location and purpose of the network boundary point and NTD to ensure a seamless nbn installation and ongoing maintenance.

Development Charge and Development Fee: Development charges and fees are applicable to businesses located in new development areas or addresses that have never been connected to the nbn network.
