Did anyone know how long NBN can go without active subscription?

I will be out of the country for 3 weeks, and planning to disconnect my current nbn service, then churn/schedule reconnection closer to the day I'm back.

Each time I churn, the new provider always advice not to disconnect the old provider. This make me wonder if I will have reconnection issue if I leave my NBN without an active subscription for few weeks.

  It doesn't matter. There is no time limit.

  Check if your home is eligible for nbn FTTC to FTTP.

  They advise you not to disconnect so you dont have a gap between connections.

  I think it's 2 weeks and 6 days before they shut it off permanently :/

  for future reference - if planning to out of country again at a later date …

  Launtel would be a good ISP to switch to … as you can pause your internet on a daily basis (and not be charged for those days).

  It's 3 weeks, you might save $45, just leave it connected.
