NBN FTTP - 2nd UNI-D Port - Anyone heard of Stuffing up Main Line?

I have a friend who I'm trying to convince to try out Aussie Broadband for the free month trial on his 2nd UNI-D port of the NTD device. He's worried about stuff ups affecting his main line. Even when I offer monetary inducement he's not willing as he sometimes works from home. Last time he had a speed change he was without internet for 1 month.

I've never read of it happening (and I read whirlpool quite frequently) but you never know so I'm asking if anyone has heard of stuff ups?

What is the likelihood of that?

    None. Take it from me, I had ABB activate a service on port 2 while SkyMess was on port 1. No issues whatsoever.

    Should be fine I had iinet on port 1 and Telstra on port 2 on problem at all

    The ports are completely independent from one another.

    Activating a second service on UNID-2 will have absolutely ZERO effect on his 'main' service on UNID-1.

      I don't know how it works but what if NBN accidentally activates it on UNID-1 and replaces it instead of UNID-2? Is that possible?

        Sounds like something that would happen if the Telco you're dealing with is extremely incompetent.

    Why are you offering your friend money to try it?
    What's in it for you?
    Why does it matter what internet provider they use?

      Thanks for your post.

      I can't answer that question without breaking the rules.

        Yeah you can.

        People rarely follow advice when they seek it out.

        Good luck getting your friend to follow your advice when they clear don't want it.

      The monetary incentive for trying out Aussie Broadband is the wpfreetrial code which gives one month free trial and double data for six months.

    I ran Internode on port 1 and Belong on port2 for about a month. It worked OK with no complications. Cancelled Internode and still have Beyond. Great way to make a changeover. Get the new service active before cancelling the old one.
