Super Fibre Installation

What’s the Fibre installation process?

Once you sign up for Epic Super Fibre Internet, we will give you the Super Epic Fibre Internet router and set up an appointment with an installer to visit and install the service in your home. Following that, just follow our Set Up Guide instructions to finish the installation.

 If you already have Fibre set up in your home, please wait for the previous service to stop working, and then follow our Set Up Guide instructions on the back of the router box, to install your Super Epic Fibre Internet router.

What do I need to know before Fibre Installation?
  1. Sign Up for Super Fibre Internet by visiting any of our Epic stores or speaking with a Sales member over the phone. We will give you the Epic Super Fibre Internet router and set up an appointment with an installer to visit and install Fibre in your home.
  2. If you wish to keep your current fixed landline number, do not terminate your current home internet service before the Fibre installation is complete, otherwise the landline number may be lost. The request to transfer the fixed number may only be requested from the other service provider once the installation of the fibre internet is successful.
  3. If you require any permissions to get access to the roof and/or neighbour’s premises on the day of installation, kindly make sure that these are obtained, otherwise the appointment will have to be rescheduled.
  4. Call us on 9999 9247 at least 3 working days before the appointment if you wish to make any changes to your order or appointment date or time.
  5. The installer will give their recommendations for the installation upon inspecting the site and take the final decision.
  6. Make sure you have 1 power sockets available in the place identified. We recommend a surge-protected power socket.
  7. Make sure the place identified is adequate to host electrical equipment, is not exposed to humidity and has enough ventilation.
  8. The installer will be contacting you up to 30 minutes before the appointment. Please make sure that a person over 18 years of age whom you authorise to sign for the completion of works is present, and the previously mentioned access is available.
What comes after a successful Fibre Installation?
  1. Once the installer completes the installation, follow the Set Up Guide on your Epic router box to enable Epic Super Fibre Internet service in your home.
  2. Connect any devices you have at home, wireless or wired.
  3. You can now enjoy lightning-fast home internet!

      Super Fibre Home Connection

      My Home Internet isn't working. What can I do?

      The Internet LED should be white and stable.

      Check both Fibre and Internet LED’s that they are white.

      My Fibre LED is white but my Internet LED is red.

       This means that there is a connection error.

      1. The most common solution is to restart your router. Press the Power button once, wait for 15 seconds and then press the Power button again to switch on your router.
      2. Services may be interrupted during power outages and when there’s maintenance going on in your area.

      If the issue persists, please get in touch with us so we can help you.

      My Fibre LED is red.

      This means that there is a fibre connectivity issue.

      1. Make sure that the fibre cable is correctly plugged in the CPE.
      2. Services may be interrupted during power outages and when there’s maintenance going on in your area.

      If the issue persists, please get in touch with us so we can help you.

      My Home Internet seems slower than usual. What can I do?

      Epic offers a true fibre connection which enables Internet of speeds up to 2,000Mbps, or 2 Gigabit. This is a first for Malta, and although our network and your Fibre Box (router) allow you to access this speed fully, there also needs to be an equally powerful setup from your end for the best results. The following tips can help you reach the full potential of your Epic Fibre Home Internet:

      1. Wired connection

      a. Connecting

      Our Fibre Box is equipped with a 10 Gbps port which allows one device, also equipped with a 10Gbps port, to connect and experience the full 2,000Mbps speed experience alone. If your connected device is not equipped with this port, our Fibre Box also includes 4x 1 Gigabit ports where multiple devices can also be connected to experience 2,000Mbps speeds simultaneously.

      b. Running a speed test

      You can run a wired speed test from your device when connected to the 10Gbps port, or, alternatively, you can also connect multiple devices to the other 4 ports and run separate speed tests. The sum of these will be the total speed of your connection.

      1. Through Wi-Fi

      a. Connecting

      The Fibre Box is also equipped with a powerful WiFi-6 4×4 802.11ax chipset to deliver super-fast WiFi, when paired with a WiFi6 capable device.

      b. Running a speed test

      Please make sure that your device supports WiFi-6 and that at the time of testing, no other app is running, and the device’s processing power is not capped in any way. To check if your device supports WiFi 6, kindly check the device specifications. WiFi 6 is also displayed as WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6. Another option is to check on GSMArena.com, by searching for your device model, and under WLAN, you can confirm the WiFi version that is supported.

      How to get the best results?

      Epic’s Fibre Box automatically chooses the best WiFi channel with least interference to connect, however this may not always be 100% seamless. This is why we always recommend using a wired connection to get the best speed.

      1. Choosing your Speed Test Server

      Not all test servers are ready to accept speed test sessions higher than 1,000Mbps (or 1 Gigabit). We recommend using the below OOKLA speed test for Epic for best results:  http://speed.epic.com.mt/

       

      How many devices can I connect at any one time?

      You can connect over 100 devices to this service at any one time!

      Good to know:

      Performance may be affected if you have multiple devices connected at once, as the connection will be shared amongst them.

      Bills & Payments

      I need help understanding my bill

      The bill for your Home Internet service includes the following charges:

      Monthly Access Fee: This is the monthly cost of your Super Fibre Home Internet plan.

      Your first bill will include two monthly charges: one for the coming month and a pro-rate charge for the previous one.

      Telephony Charges: Any calls made which are not free with your service are charged here.

      Other Credits and Charges: Any refunds, discounts, additional charges etc., will be detailed in this section.

      Your amount due is made of the ‘Total Outstanding Balance’ (the current bill) and any other pending ones.

      How do I pay my Home Internet and Telephone bill?

      AutoPay (Direct Debit Mandate)
