SHDSL Installation Process

  • Once the order has been received it is then submitted the following day to our supplier for qualification.
  • The qualification process usually takes anywhere between 5-10 days before our supplier confirms the validity of the order.
  • Once this has been finalized you will an update is sent in regards to 'cut-over' date information in the next 5-10 days.
  • A Cut-over date(usually called TCD -Telstra cut over date, on our records) is the date a technician will need to be on site in order to 'tag' the vacant copper pairs at the MDF (Main Distribution Frame). It is important that someone be on site and aware as this can cause delays to the order if the technician has no access to the MDF.
  • Once cut-over has completed and been verified, an 'appointment date/install date' will be advised in a further 5-10 day period. On this date, our supplier's technician will come out on site to install the equipment needed. Again, delays will be caused if site contact is not present.
