Appendix - Central splitters

If you have more than three phones and/or faxes or a Back to Base Alarm system at your premises, you may need to contact an ACMA-licensed electrician to install a central splitter to prevent home network issues.

Please note: We no longer have any ADSL-compatible modems available for purchase. If you need to replace the modem for an ADSL2+ service, you’ll need to purchase one from another retailer.
