FAQs
Is Opticomm better than NBN?
Opticomm is faster than many NBN connections because it is all fibre and does not use any older technology. The majority of NBN connections use decades-old coaxial and copper wires as part of its connections, which can't transmit signals as fast as fibre-optic cables.
How do I connect to Opticomm?
If you've recently moved to an Opticomm connected area, it shouldn't be difficult to find a provider for your home connection. To find the best plans available, call us up at Compare Broadband. Our experts are always on the line to help you.
Is the Opticomm box a modem?
Opticomm plans usually come with a connection box that acts as your modem. You will need a separate Wi-Fi router to share the connection with devices around your home via Ethernet and Wi-Fi, which your Internet retailer should be able to provide.
Do you need an antenna for Opticomm?
You do not require an antenna on your roof to receive Internet from Opticomm, as it reaches your home via fibre-optic cable. The Opticomm cable also supplies all of the digital free-to-air television channels, so you do not need a television aerial on your roof either.
Can you get Foxtel through Opticomm?
If a free-to-air TV service is available on your Opticomm fibre connection, an encrypted Foxtel signal will also be available. You will require a Foxtel subscription and set-top box to watch the Foxtel channels. Alternatively, you can subscribe to Foxtel Now, Kayo or Binge and stream them from the Internet.
Is Opticomm owned by Telstra?
No, Opticomm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Uniti. Opticomm is not a retail Internet provider, instead it is a wholesaler – similar to the NBN. This means you don't sign up with Opticomm directly. Instead, you sign up with a retail Internet provider which then supplies Internet to your home via the Opticomm infrastructure.
