Install New Phone Cabling & Sockets
Not having a phone point in the location you require is rather annoying. Sure, you could compromise by choosing a different location or run a long lead and connect to a point elsewhere but it’s usually far from ideal. So, don’t settle. Let us install a new phone point precisely where you want it.
Provided there is easy access through the roof and down the wall, the phone wire will be concealed, and a socket installed on the wall. The new point can be used for connecting a telephone handset or modem depending on your requirements and the service is available for both residential and business.
If you’re setting up a new NBN connection, we recommend installing a new telephone cable from point of entry to the modem. The existing phone cabling will then be isolated as it can affect speed and reliability. This new single cable should provide you with the best phone & internet connection possible.
If you find yourself needing a phone cable installed, give us a call on 9705 1525 to discuss your specific requirements and to get an estimate over the phone.
Repair Phone Cabling & Sockets
The NBN in Carrum Downs uses your existing internal phone wiring. It’s essential that this cabling be in good condition. A damaged telephone cable or socket can adversely affect reliability and internet speed. If you’re having problems with your NBN connection, our technician can test the existing cabling, locate any faults and fix them.
Problems can also occur when too many phone sockets are connected to the incoming phone line. Old cabling can also cause problems. In some situations where there is a significant amount of existing cabling to sort through, we advise rewiring the phone cabling from point of entry to the NBN modem. In bypassing the old wiring, you’ll gain the best internet connection possible.

Move the Modem & NBN Connection Device
Because most people in Carrum Downs have the Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) type of NBN, moving the modem can be as easy as plugging it into a different phone socket. However, this is not always the case.
What if the phone socket doesn’t work? What if you don’t have another phone socket? Or perhaps you’re not sure about moving the hardware? Our technicians can help. We can install and repair phone cabling to facilitate connecting the NBN connection device, the modem, and any telephone handsets. We can also connect all these devices together if needed.
If you require assistance with your modem, give us a call on 9705 1525 to arrange a visit from our technician.
Install NBN Modem & Router
Has your service provider sent you a modem and you’re not sure how to set it up? Perhaps you’ve moved and don’t know how to reconnect the modem. Our technicians can help.
We’ll install the modem and NBN connection device to the desired wall socket. If need be, we can run a new cable to a different location if there isn’t a suitable wall socket. We can also connect the telephone handset and phone wall sockets to the modem if required. After everything is connected, the technician will test the phone & internet connection to confirm everything is working correctly.
If you need help getting the NBN modem up and running give us a call on 9705 1525.
Reactivate Existing Phone Sockets
Existing phone sockets do not work by default with the NBN. Instead, a single telephone is supposed to plug into the modem. However, it doesn’t need to be this way. If you want to use your telephone via a wall socket it is possible, but additional cabling needs to be installed. A new cable from the modem to the existing phone cabling will reactive your wall sockets for use with a telephone handset.
Our technicians can get your phone sockets operational again. Give us a call on 9705 1525 to arrange a booking.
