First off last time I posted on here(few months ago) people explained I just had the outside box which I wasn’t aware we had to have a connection box for it too.

so I get my internet connection box installed in a few days for FTTP and just a quick question if you guys know or not.

will my modem still need to be connected to DSL? I have an older model NBN modem from Telstra (FAST5355-A). only reason I’m asking is because where my modem box is currently is upstairs and I don’t think we have a phone line thing that can be connected downstairs.. sorry if this makes no sense.

Last week all of the townhouses in my block got FTTP installed, we chose to have the box installed outside of our unit, so what do i do now?

editing to say we've had FTTN since 2016/2017 and had no problems with it

i talked to the guy a little bit and he said just ring your provider(Telstra). I've done a little research and while doing so discovered theres a reddit for NBN... it just seems so confusing but before i ring telstra i have a few questions.

my first and main question is 1) can i do it myself if i just get a new modem from telstra? or does it require more than just a new modem?

2. if they have to do somethig to connect it, what will they do?
