Paying for 100Mbps / 250Mbps NBN Plan But Your Wifi Still Lag & Dropout?
Stop paying your ISP for speed you’re never actually seeing. If your ‘Ultrafast’ plan still feels like dial-up, the issue isn't the street; it’s the old internal cabling inside your walls. At First Call Electrical, we get rid of the wifi guesswork by gutting those ancient phone lines and running high spec Cat6a data points for a rock-solid, hardwired NBN connection.
We make sure your building can actually keep up with your hardware. Whether you need a switchboard upgrade to handle the load, PoE integration for security cameras, or Wifi 7 Access Points (WAP) to sort out those dead zones for good.
From bridge tap removals that can instantly double your FTTN speeds to full commercial structured cabling, we make sure the bandwidth you're paying for actually reaches your devices.

‼️Note: We work with NBN data cabling from the modem/NTD onwards. We DO NOT work on the lead-in cabling owned by the NBN access network.

NBN Box (NTD) & Modem Relocation
Your NBN connection device (the NTD) was likely installed where it was easiest for the technician, not where it’s best for your wifi. If your modem is stuck in the garage, the laundry, or shoved inside a metal cabinet, your signal is fighting through brick walls before it even reaches your desk.
We handle NBN box relocations that actually put your modem where you use it. We’ll shift your NTD to a central spot in your home or business so your wifi can finally reach every room without dropping out.
➡️ Relocate the Modem
Get it out of the garage and into the middle of the house or office where the wifi can actually reach your desk.
🚫 No Messy Wires
We run Cat6 through the wall cavities so you don't have data cables trailing across the carpet or taped to your skirting boards.
🌐 Better Coverage
We’ll find the right spot for your Wifi 7 Access Points (WAP) so you finally get the speeds you're paying for in every room.
Don't settle for the spot the NBN installer chose just because they were in a rush. Get your modem moved to the spot that’s actually best for your connection.
Bridge Tap Removal (For FTTN/FTTC Users)
If your FTTN or FTTC speed is crawling, those old phone sockets are likely 'poisoning' your signal. Every extra socket in the house acts like a leak, creating noise that kills your sync speed and causes those random dropouts.
We perform bridge tap removals to clean up the line properly. We find exactly where the NBN enters your house and cut out every unnecessary socket, leaving you with one clean, direct run straight to your modem.
🚀 Faster Sync Speeds
We’ve seen FTTN speeds jump by 20–30Mbps, sometimes even double, just by cutting out that old interference.
❌ No More Random Dropouts
Clearing the ‘noise’ stops your connection from cutting out right when you're in a meeting or a match.
⏳ Lower Latency
A cleaner signal means a more responsive connection. It’s a game-changer for gaming or anyone stuck on back-to-back Zoom calls.
Stop letting 30 year old wiring bottleneck your internet. If you’ve got more than one phone socket in the house, you’ve almost certainly got a bridge tap that needs to go.
Hardwired Data Points
Wifi is fine for scrolling on the couch, but it’s rarely consistent. Between thick walls and interference, that 250Mbps NBN plan you're paying for can easily drop to 40Mbps by the time it reaches the back room.
💻 Work from Home
Stop the "can you hear me?" moments. A dedicated point in your office keeps your connection rock-solid, even if the kids are streaming Netflix in the next room.
🎮 Gaming & Streaming
Get rid of the jitter and buffering. We run discreet cable pathways to your console or Smart TV so you actually get the full speed of your plan.
🔌 No Messy Wires
We fish cables through the wall cavities and install flush-mount plates to match your existing power points. No ugly cables taped to the floor or the skirting boards.
🚀 Future-Proof
We use Cat6a, which is rated for 10Gbps. Your nbn infrastructure will be sorted for years to come.
Stop fighting the wifi signal. If you want the most reliable connection possible, you need a wire.
TCA1 Compliance: Why a Registered Cabler Matters
It’s easy to just get a handyman or your 'IT mate' to run a few data cables, but it’s actually against the rules in Australia.
⚠️ Only a Registered Cabler is allowed to touch the fixed wiring in your home ⚠️
At First Call Electrical, we’re fully licensed and registered. We don't just 'pull wires', we make sure everything is compliant, safe, and doesn't void your home insurance.
📝 The Paperwork
We provide a TCA1 form for every job. It’s your legal proof that everything meets Australian Standards. Without it, you’re looking at a nightmare with your home insurance or NBN company if a fault ever crops up.
🚨 Safety
You can't just ziptie data cables to power lines. We make sure they've got the right separation to prevent interference and fire risks.
🛡️ Insurance & Warranties
Using a registered cabler means your home insurance and gear warranties actually stay valid. If something goes wrong and you haven't used a pro, you’re on your own.
📝 Renters and Landlords
We provide the clear documentation and professional additional services needed to keep both renters and landlords protected and compliant.
Don’t risk your house or your NBN warranty. We do the job once, we do it right, and we give you the paperwork to prove it.
Home Data & Ethernet Cabling: Professional NBN Network Installation Services
Get the actual speeds you’re paying for. If you’ve just upgraded to NBN FTTP, your old internal wiring is likely holding you back. We help Melbourne home or business owners set up their NBN connection box and Wi-Fi router properly, not just left hanging in the hallway.
Whether it’s a hardwired internet connection, better cable pathways, or just some Wi-Fi extenders to kill those dead zones, our electricians handle all the NBN equipment and infrastructure so your NBN fibre actually does what it’s supposed to.
