The countdown is on for Bacchus Marsh residents to make the switch to the National Broadband Network, with current copper services ready for the chopping board.
It has been two years since the NBN was launched in Bacchus Marsh and it will now become a complete part of the community with all residents and business owners urged to make the switch by October.
Come October 5, parts of Bacchus Marsh will be cut off from the current copper services and NBN Co general manager external affairs Trent Williams said NBN Co was keen not to leave anybody behind.
Mr Williams said residents needed to be aware that the switch to NBN was not automatic and some planning and co-ordination would be involved to smooth the transition.
Mr Williams said the cut-off would affect all services including home phones, and residents wishing to continue using landline phones and internet services needed to make the change.
Residents using medical alarms were being reminded to organise to switch.

Residents with medical alarms are urged to register their alarm to ensure no interruptions to service via www.nbnco.com.au/medicalregister
