Our greatest home experience on the nbn network

[Upbeat electronic music plays and continues throughout]

Female narrator: By the end of 2025, millions of Australian premises will be covered by nbn's Fibre-To-The-Premises Network, also known as FTTP. People that connect or upgrade to nbn's FTTP Network can access plans that have peak wholesale download speeds close to one gigabit per second.

[Text on screen] Retail services based on nbn's fastest residential wholesale plan will operate at less than 1Gbps because of normal equipment and network limitations. End customer experiences may also vary depending on other factors.

What is fibre?

Female narrator: Fibre is shorthand for fibre optic cable network. It's a technology that uses light to transmit data through plastic or glass strands.

What does nbn's FTTP offer? 

Female narrator: Today, FTTP services built on nbn's fastest residential wholesale plan can support peak wholesale download speeds close to one gigabit per second. In theory, this connection speed could download every word in every current Wikipedia article in a compressed form in under 4 minutes, compared to nbn's other residential connection technologies, it's also more reliable.

[Text on screen] As of 21 September 2022, the size of the current version of all English language Wikipedia articles compressed is about 21.23GB without media. End customer experiences may also vary depending on other factors.

Female narrator: Firstly, it offers lower latency which is the time it takes for data to go from its source to its destination. 

Female narrator: Say you're streaming a video. Latency is the time it takes for your TV to tell the streaming service what it wants to play, and the time it takes for the streaming service to begin sending it to you. Also, because nbn's FTTP is a complete fibre network it has a lower risk of physical and environmental damage. This improves speeds and consistency by preventing data signal degradation.

What can I do with nbn's FTTP?

Female narrator: Compared to the nbn Home Standard Wholesale plan our fastest residential fibre plan is more than 15 times faster, which means you can download huge files in minutes rather than hours.

[Text on screen] Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn network, depends on the nbn access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside nbn's control.

Just as important as high speed is high capacity

Female narrator: Australian households have more internet connected devices than you might think. They include our phones, computers, gaming systems, tablets, Smart TVs and even home security cameras. All these devices use internet data.

[Text on screen] Your experience may vary depending on factors such as your nbn technology, internet provider, your plan and equipment. Limited gaming and simultaneous downloading on nbn Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster satellite networks. © 2023 nbn co ltd. nbn and other nbn logos are trade marks of nbn co ltd. | ABN 86 136 533 741

Female narrator: nbn's FTTP technology is capable of handling those devices with ease due to its high internet bandwidth. You can watch a 4K stream while other household members work from home, download files or update their devices all at the same time without worrying about disruptions.

Female narrator: Now that you know more about Fibre-To-The-Premises, check your address on the nbn website to see if you can connect or upgrade to nbn's fastest residential technology.

nbn, made for more.

More Australian households and businesses to become eligible to upgrade to nbn full fibre


There is increasing demand for faster internet from homes and businesses across Australia and we are continuing to invest in the nbn network to help stay ahead of demand.



Frequently asked questions

Customers on Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) technologies in selected areas may be eligible to upgrade to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) with a plan based on our eligible higher wholesale speed tiers^.

The eligible locations have been selected for reasons including:

  • Demand – we anticipate strong demand in these metropolitan and regional locations for higher wholesale speed plans.
  • Workforce – our established construction and delivery partners, and their respective workforces, are ready to work here having recently completed our network’s initial build.+
  • Cost-effectiveness – we can deploy here with speed and agility, in a way that our investment is most likely to spread and multiply economic activity across the nation.

Our aim is to extend fibre to an additional 5 million homes and businesses by the end of 2025.

The technician will install the Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connection in parallel to your existing Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) connection.

Once you have spoken to your FTTP provider and are satisfied that your FTTP service is up and running, you may need to arrange the transfer of services from your original technology (FTTN or FTTC) connection to your new FTTP connection.

We recommend checking with your original provider that your plan on the original technology (FTTN or FTTC) has been cancelled, so that you can avoid being charged for services on both technologies. Your provider will be able to help you through this process.

Unless you have cancelled your original service, it will remain active. If nbn decides to turn off the original technology at your premises, nbn will inform your phone and service provider at least 18 months prior, so you will be given plenty of notice before this might occur.

Eligible customers will have to place an order with a participating phone and internet provider and purchase a plan based on our eligible higher wholesale speed tiers^ to upgrade to FTTP.

Depending on factors such as complexity and your building type, additional costs may apply to providers, who may choose to pass this charge onto their customers. We recommend speaking to a participating provider to find out about costs to you.

Eligible businesses also have the option of upgrading to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) when they order an eligible business plan – this includes the business nbn® fibre plans (250/100, 500/200 and ~1000/400). With faster upload speeds and higher levels of service and support compared to residential plans – these plans are designed to meet the growing needs of businesses. Businesses will also have access to a premium connection experience, including flexible installation appointments and additional flexibility in the location of their nbn connection box.§







^Conditions, eligibility criteria and costs will apply – please speak with your preferred provider. Eligibility criteria includes among other things, being designated by nbn as a simple premises and placing an order for an nbn powered plan based on an eligible wholesale speed tier. Additional costs may apply to providers, who may choose to pass this charge onto their customers.

Not all providers offer plans based on the full range of wholesale speed tiers. Talk to your preferred provider for more information about availability and the right retail solution for your needs. 

#Regardless of the retail service you purchase, the actual wholesale download speeds delivered to providers will be less than 1Gbps due to equipment and network limitations. Your experience on FTTP, including the speeds actually achieved, depends on the configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like your equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, or how your provider designs its network).

+Please note that network construction will be an ongoing activity beyond the initial volume build for future new developments and a small proportion of premises defined as ‘complex connections’ – which includes properties that are difficult to access, culturally significant areas and heritage sites – where connection depends on factors outside of nbn’s control such as permission from traditional owners.

We have made some minor amendments to this review (as shown in square brackets) to ensure that it correctly represents the wholesale speeds we offer to service providers. We have not otherwise changed this review in any way.

§Availability of wholesale business nbn products, product features and services depends on an end customer's access technology and area. Ask your preferred provider if they offer plans based on these wholesale business nbn products, product features and services in your area.
