I’ve signed up 4 May 2021, and called up yesterday (17 May 2021) to follow up, just received email yesterday that NbN installation date is 17 JUNE 2021!? This process is a 1.5month wait, I might as well use 5G

Hi @patricks66, 

Upon checking, recent update on the account showed that there is booked appointment today, 18 MAY 22021 between 8AM-12PM. 

The notification was sent to the mobile number ending in XXXXXX4024 informing of the schedule. 

I'll have the assigned Engineer to contact you to provide updates with the said appointment.

Hi team,

I'm looking to sign up with a TPG NBN plan which coincides with a move to a new place;  My only concern is the current delay in NBN connection box installation (my new place has NBN capabilities). 

I'm happy to proceed with signing up with TPG but I need some assurance on how long I can expect to wait for a NBN connection box to be installed at my new place in Newport VIC 3015.  Is there any chance we can pencil in some date?  I'd hate to turn to the competition but I may have no choice if I can't have NBN up and running by around the 9th of June.

Appreciate any assistance!
