Why Choose Zoom Fibre?
Fibre optic technology is the gold standard for high-speed internet. With Zoom Fibre, you benefit from:

The 4-Step Zoom Fibre Installation Process
Switching to fibre internet is a smooth journey managed by the Zoom Fibre team and your chosen Internet Service Provider (ISP).
1. Check Availability and Order Your Package
- Availability Check: Confirm your address is fibre-ready on the Zoom Fibre website.
- Select an ISP: Choose your preferred ISP operating on the Zoom Fibre network.
- Place Your Order: Once signed up, your ISP coordinates the seamless installation with the Zoom Fibre technical team.
2. Schedule Your Installation Date
A representative will contact you to confirm a suitable date and time for the technicians’ visit. Ensure an authorised adult is available on the day.
3. The Installation Day: Connecting Your Home
A qualified technician will handle both the exterior and interior work:
- External Connection: The fibre optic cable is run from the street distribution point to your property. A small External Termination Point (ETP) box is fixed to the exterior wall at the entry point.
- Internal Hardware Setup: The technician installs the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) inside your home (converts the optical signal) and connects your Wi-Fi router for optimal coverage.
- Neat Cabling: The team ensures professional, discreet cable routing for minimal disruption.
4. Activation and Testing
The final step is guaranteeing your high-speed internet is live:
- Line Activation: The technician remotely activates your fibre line with the Zoom Fibre control centre.
- Speed Test: A speed test is performed to confirm you are receiving the speeds you signed up for, guaranteeing reliable connectivity.
Tips for a Seamless Experience
To help the Zoom Fibre team complete your installation efficiently:
- Clear the Path: Remove obstacles (furniture, plants) both inside and outside along the cable route.
- Choose a Central Spot: Decide on the optimal location for the ONT and router (a central, elevated spot is best for Wi-Fi).
- Be Available: Remain on-site to approve the entry point and cable routing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How long does the fibre optic installation typically take?
For a standard home, the physical fibre optic installation takes between 2 to 4 hours. This time varies based on the complexity of running the cable to your property.
2. Do I need to buy any equipment before the Zoom Fibre technician arrives?
No. The essential equipment, including the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and the Wi-Fi router (from your ISP), is typically supplied as part of your service package.
3. What happens to my old copper telephone/ADSL line when I switch to Zoom Fibre?
Your new connection is entirely independent. Once the Zoom Fibre service is fully active, the old copper line is no longer required for the internet. You will need to contact your previous provider to formally cancel that service.
