Fibre Connection to Homes

What will I get as a home owner?

As home owners living either in a high-rise or landed residential property, consumers enjoy a waiver of installation charges for fibre runs that are within 15 metres. For any multi-storey residential home, the 15-metre fibre run will be measured from the main door to a termination point inside the house. For landed property, the measurement starts from the gatepost to a designated termination point inside the house.

How do consumers sign up for installation?

Installation of the Next Gen NBN is an OPT-IN process. To enjoy the waiver of installation charges, consumers are strongly encouraged to sign up for fibre installation when OpenNet's fibre deployment first reaches their vicinity. Home owners will be informed by a letter from OpenNet. For more details, visit www.opennet.com.sg .
