Copper network switch off

[kennyboi]

Just wondering, when the copper network do get switched off after NBN is installed, is there a second use on the phone line that is already within the house? Does the NBN uses existing internal phone wiring?

Thanks

it can do- you can have your internal phone wiring connected to the phone port on the fibre NTD, which which allow it to continue functioning as it does now for phones.

You must apply for NBN or lose your phone line.

I don't have NBN in my investment property yet, but I am building a granny flat now. So, I was wondering how should I plan the internal phone wiring & sockets to prepare for it.

All I can find is space required for the external/internal box with powerpoint and conduit with string to come in to the house, but not much details on how to re-use internal wiring and sockets.

AFAIK, NBN usually comes up the same conduit as your existing phone line. For your GF it will be a new conduit for the phone service to the Luka box.

A string with tin cans at either end works good for basic voice comms but I don't know how it goes for data.
