Payment is processed prior to connecting on sign up. Every month an invoice will be issued two weeks ahead of the due date.
You can pay using a credit or debit card and details can be saved securely to your account to allow automatic billing. Alternatively, you can log in to your Customer Portal and pay through the billing function. It is also possible to pay via bank transfer, just select this as your preferred method.
What internal hardware is required?
A router is required for a wireless connection, enabling multiple devices to connect.
Do I need a technician to attend my property?
Not if you are in a building that Lightning Broadband has pre-cabled. Check your apartment or office for a Lightning Broadband sticker that will indicate your active port.
Are there set up fees?
There is a one-off Activation fee of $99 ($100+GST for business-grade connections). This covers your connection creation and the pre-cabling that enables an instantaneous connection.
If you're moving into a new development, there may also be a New Development Fee of $300, which is paid once for each unit on initial connection.
Additional charges may apply if you wish to purchase a compatible broadband router or opt to port your existing phone number when subscribing to our VoIP phone services.
You can view our router options for your internet connection in our Router FAQ and the required hardware for VoIP service in our Hardware FAQ. If you opt to bring your own router, you will need to ensure it has a WAN/Internet port and is not locked to another provider's service.
Is there a contract?
No, you are not on a contract with our FTTB/FTTP connection and can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel on request.
Can I change my plan?
Yes! As an FTTB/FTTP customer, you can upgrade at any time. You would simply pay the additional pro-rata monthly fee. You can also downgrade at the end of each billing cycle.
