The situation
A residential building in Macquarie Park completed in the 2000s, a building manager on site part of the week, and a committee that hears the same complaint at every meeting. Residents working from home pay for 100 Mbps plans and see a fraction of it in the evening.
What the committee asks for
Fibre to every apartment, no cost to the owners corporation, no contractors in the building for months, and no obligation on any resident to switch.
What we check first
A building assessment at no cost: the riser, the basement comms room and the lead-in from the street, written up with photographs. The committee then receives a timeline and an access agreement in plain English: what is installed, where, by whom, over how many weeks, and what the building provides (power to one rack and a key).
How installation goes
Fibre runs up the riser to a distribution point on each floor. Apartments are connected one at a time as residents sign up, by a technician who connects the router and checks every device before leaving. Residents choose Fibre 500 at $40 a month, Fibre 1000 at $70 or Fibre 2000 at $100, with no lock-in.
What to expect after
Every apartment serviceable. No cost to the owners corporation, no levy, no disruption beyond a notice in the lift. Residents who switch stop raising the internet at meetings.
