Netlink is an independent provider of customer-side telecommunications cabling — not an internet provider, not NBN Co and not an authorised NBN contractor. Registered cablers may only alter relevant NBN facilities where permitted under applicable NBN Authority to Alter requirements, and some relocation work must be referred to your provider or NBN.
Where the NBN box usually ends up in Toronto — and where it should be.
Elevated foreshore home with NBN Connection Box on the lower storey; family wants the router in the upstairs lake-view living zone.
Toronto relocation calls come from three distinct property types. On the older weatherboard cottages along Victory Row the NBN Connection Box has typically been installed in a rear laundry — a long way from the modern lounge. On the mid-century brick-veneer stock across the flat blocks near The Boulevarde, the NTD is often mounted on an external service wall next to the meter box. On the elevated Kilaben Bay and Coal Point streets, the NBN lead-in almost always enters the lower storey, so the router ends up trapped on the wrong floor. Netlink's Toronto approach is nearly always a Cat6 tail from the existing NBN Connection Box — through the ceiling void on single-storey homes, or through an internal cavity on the elevated foreshore rebuilds — to the correct wall inside the family living area.

NBN relocation in Toronto — FAQs
Can Netlink attend Kilaben Bay and Coal Point on a Toronto relocation?
Yes. Netlink covers the entire western-shore Toronto catchment including Kilaben Bay, Coal Point, Carey Bay and Fassifern. Elevated foreshore homes are a routine job — the standard fix is Cat6 through an internal cavity from the lower-storey NBN Connection Box to a keystone wall plate on the upper storey where the family living zone sits, without physically moving the NBN-supplied equipment.
Is it cheaper to move the router or move the NBN box?
In almost every home, moving the router (or running Ethernet from the NTD to a better router position) is significantly cheaper and quicker than moving the NBN Connection Box itself. Because moving the router does not touch NBN-supplied equipment, no Authority to Alter is triggered and the whole job is customer-side cabling work.
Can I move my NBN box myself?
No. The NBN Connection Box (NTD) is NBN-supplied equipment and any physical relocation must be performed by an appropriately-registered cabler working under the applicable NBN Authority to Alter requirements. Some relocation work must still be referred to your internet provider or NBN.
How long does an NBN box relocation take?
Straightforward router relocations with a short Cat6 run typically complete in one visit of a few hours. Physical NTD relocation, multi-storey homes and cases needing Authority to Alter engagement can take longer and may involve a follow-up visit.
