How do I obtain the Wholesale Pricing?
Well firstly you would need to sign an NDA and register your intent to become an CSP/Wholesale Customer of Vine. We may elect to provide you the pricing directly after receiving a signed/executed NDA and we validate you are a Bonafede CSP (This is to protect our existing wholesale customers)
Secondly Vine will assess and validate your business as being acceptable to receive wholesale services (This is to protect all wholesale customers of Vine)
Lastly you are allocated an AM to manage your account.
New Development delivery Times
Vine Networks will typically have an ONU pre-installed at a new development, ready for activations, however during the construction phase the optical cable may become damaged due to conduit breakage or external contractor works.
Vine will endeavor to have the ONU/Services restored within 30 days of settlement on a property, subject to no civil or rehauling works being required and accessibility to site.
Service Restoration Times
For Commercial Service Restoration (SMB/SME) Vine offers a full-Service Schedule and SLA agreement, and is subject to an MSA being signed. Typical restoration times for business grade services is <4 hours, unless it is a major breakage, then it defaults to the SLA agreement in the service schedule for rebates
For Residential services, Vine Networks will typically acknowledge a fault within 4 ours of receipt of the notification, service restoration works will be based on staff availability or contractor availability and whether the site will require a site visit or not. However residential services typically are best efforts unless agreed upon otherwise or if a premium support package is purchased.
How do I change my customers plan?
Vine is working to automate this process via API calls, this is currently on the roadmap in our priority list. For now, please speak with your wholesale account manager or lodge a support ticket to have the service upgraded,
Do I need a technician to set up my connection?
- For on-net service where an ONU is already in place, activated and or provisioned, then a technician is not required and the FTTP services will be activated remotely
- For Near-Net services, then yes a technical field crew is required, and is subject to the default process of a LAAN and permitting requirements
- For Off-Net service, yes a full crew is required for the street works and inbuilding works, and is also subject to the default process of a LAAN and permitting requirements
Do I need to sign an MSA for wholesale services?
Yes!
To obtain carriage services at a wholesale level from Vine Wholesale Pty Ltd, then you must sign an MSA (Master Services Agreement) and any subsequent service schedules and you may also be subjected to a credit check.
What do I do if the service generates a fault or stops working?
First, we ask that you do the basic diagnostic works with your customer… E.G Check if the lights are on the ONU and all are displaying white, ensure that power is turned on to all the devices, and check our status page if there are any known faults or service interruptions in that area
Alternatively, you can contact our wholesale support team on (07) 5405 2500 for assistance, between 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday or send us an email to support@vinenetworks.com.au
Does Vine Supply Routers
Presently Vine Networks has an ISP agreement with Amazon Eero, however this does not extend to supply them on a wholesale basis, however we are working with the Eero team in Australia to resolve this.
Outside of that you are able to provide your own routers for customers, so long as it has a WAN port and supports our speeds supplied, which are symmetrical in nature, we do not provide an A-Symetrics network delivery service.
Then you are good to go.
Co-Development Charges
From time-to-time Vine Networks may impose a Co-Development charge for new connections.
Co-Development Charge: $299 INC GST
However Vine may from time to time not charge or pass on this charge to its CSP/Wholesale customers
