Common NBN Installation Problems

Nothing is more irritating than managing internet issues when you're attempting to finish your work. Long downloading hours of a video, gazing at a clear screen while it loads at a low speed, or having a significant call with a customer drop is not only frustrating - it can genuinely harm your business.

We are presently experiencing a daily reality that reliable internet connection is fundamental to make our own lives, work and business easier. It is important for our day-to-day routines. However, like any other innovation, the internet connection isn't safe. Indeed, even the best internet service provider experiences issues that might influence the support of its clients. 

Australia’s National Broadband Network (NBN) is one of those leading service providers that are responsible for internet connectivity in the country. There may be some installation or cabling issues that might cause a problem with your internet connectivity. To know these installation issues, let’s read ahead.

1. The Utility Box Location
   The utility box is an external piece of equipment and is associated with an external wall of your home. It should be in a dry area and easily accessible. The utility box area should join the end of the cable, which is the reason many homes currently have not-so-pleasant features on their home front as compared to others.
   
   
   The group who dig the trench may not be the same as who installed the utility box, so the connection of the cable to the utility box was done with two visits.
   
   
   Sometimes the utility box has turned up just to identify whether the cables are installed or not. In such cases, the NBN installation gets bumped and gets back to the queue till the cables are installed. And, after that only the installer comes back for another visit.
