Being a long-term customer of Lightning IP, when the team alerted us that we could get a direct fibre connection to our office with 1 Gbps speeds it was a no-brainer. They made the process easy, communicating with NBN Co and the installers directly to ensure we were connected as fast as possible. Every issue we encountered along the way was promptly addressed, and within a relatively short time we were enjoying blisteringly fast, uncontested fibre internet speeds. > > The massive capacity in our connection has made working remotely that much easier and more productive. I highly recommend the Lightning IP team to provide and manage your NBN services. > > — Cam Knights, Managing Director ## Common questions ### What are the timeframes for connection? NBN Co targets service delivery within 60 business days from the date of order. All premises are different, however, and if the initial survey identifies additional works that would delay this target, we will let you know. ### Are there any costs for installation? For customers in an nbn Business Fibre zone, the build is fully funded by NBN Co. In other eligible areas, 90% of premises have already been identified for full NBN Co funding. For Category B premises, a desktop study is required to determine funding eligibility. For Category C premises, NBN Co will co-fund a portion of the costs, and a full quote is required before the order is accepted. ### What capabilities does my router need? NBN Co will install a Network Termination Unit at your premises. Your router will need to connect to it by ethernet or a 1000BASE-SX/LX fibre connection, and must be able to shape traffic to the required profile speed. ### What is Low CoS / High CoS? CoS, or Class of Service, describes the way traffic is handled as it passes across the NBN network and our carrier backhaul network. Low CoS has a 0:1 CIR:PIR handoff at the NBN Point of Interconnect. Low CoS plans suit a broad range of business uses where fluctuating sustained bandwidth is acceptable, such as general web browsing and file sharing. High CoS has a 1:1 CIR:PIR handoff. These plans suit applications where maintaining the full rate of the connection at all times is essential, such as larger-scale hosting of remote desktop services, database servers, web servers and critical communications infrastructure. ### Can Lightning IP supply a router? Yes — our team can recommend and supply a suitable router for your requirements. ## Get started Find out more about [Enterprise Internet with Lightning IP](/services/internet/enterprise), or [get in touch](/contact) for an instant quote for your business.
