Cheapest Way to Have NBN Installed?

Hi all,

Does anyone have a tip on the cheapest way to arrange NBN installation.

I have just built three new investment properties I am keeping but I am looking to have the external and internal boxes installed prior to having them leased so that I can ensure they are in the correct position and I am not leaving it for a tenant to arrange.

Has anyone got the scoop on the cheapest provider to have a one month contract with as little money down as possible just so I can get the equipment in?

Cheers.

      thanks for the quick reply, I know the process of getting it installed, I am just wondering about which is the cheapest provider.

    Try Kogan, was decent. https://www.koganinternet.com.au/plans/

    Silver plan for free modem, I wasn't charged any installation fee.

    Easy done. Install one service only and purchase an unlimited 100mb plan - get your sparky to wire it up to all three properties. You can recover the cost in the same way you will recover the water charges to your tenants

      Water consumption charges are passed on to tenants (generally). Is the suggestion to somehow meter each unit for internet use, and charge accordingly?

        I once had a unit in a block of just a few such units.

        Landlord had (old but believable) meters, 1 / unit.

        Landlord lived on-site, & wanted to be a Mensch
        by: Minimizing total cost of renting there

        He'd charge each tenant for power used, period.
        (No: he -didn't- even split the "service-fee")

        OK, so the units were a bit less than up-market, &
        this was Before the Market Competition hoo-haw
        added huge distribution fess to our (here: his)
        bill. I was a student.

        Now, "everyone's" hungry to charge "what the market
        will bear" …rather than enjoying a more generous,
        neighborly mindset & tradition.

        (In fairness, tenants were happy to look after
        his fish-farming tanks, eg, when they were off
        on a holiday trip.)

        PS He was selective in choice of new tenants.
        His home was easily accessed by tenants, and
        he wanted to keep them happy enough Not to
        break-in, ransack their home & run-off.

        It may be a special case… but it was good…
        with calming trees, some farm animals, fresh
        eggs, & a few dogs that protected all of our
        homes from any passing burglars, etc.

        Oh, and there was a Bush Fire risk, there,
        most summers.

        PS So, I was a student, at the time… Great
        place to study, breathe & live, for sure!

    Dig a trench (or 3) from the wall where you want the PCD at a 350mm depth of cover to the property boundary. Lay 20mm telco conduits with no more than 1 sweep bend. Glue the joints, tape the ends and cover. Sign up with an RSP and wait for them to do the rest.

    Ok, I was bored enough to check up several sites.

    Assuming you're not looking for those satellite plans, the cheapest I could find is $44.95 at Spintel.

      I have heard they have a $75 signup fee?

        Might be different once you put in your address, but their nbn page shows no setup fee for month to month contract.
