About Internet

What you need to know.

🌐

What is the NBN?

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is Australia's national fixed-line internet infrastructure. Most Australian homes and businesses connect to the internet through the NBN, delivered via fibre, coaxial cable, or fixed wireless depending on your address.

⚡

What speed do you actually need?

NBN 100 (100/20 Mbps) is the sweet spot for most Australian households — fast enough for 4K streaming on multiple devices simultaneously. NBN 50 suits 1–2 people. NBN 250 or 1000 suits heavy users, gamers and home offices running video calls and large file transfers.

💰

Price vs value — what to compare

The cheapest plan is not always the best value. Key things to compare beyond monthly price: typical evening speeds (not just the advertised maximum), data included, contract length, and the retailer's customer service reputation. Evening speeds are the most useful real-world measure.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to connect to NBN?

If your address is already connected to the NBN network, activation typically takes 2–5 business days after sign-up. If new infrastructure is required at your address, it can take 2–6 weeks. You can check your address at nbnco.com.au.

Can I keep my existing phone number when I switch?

Yes. Phone number portability applies to both landline and mobile numbers. Your new provider can transfer your existing number as part of the sign-up process.

What's the difference between FTTP, FTTN and FTTC?

These refer to how NBN fibre reaches your premises. FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) delivers the fastest and most consistent speeds. FTTN and FTTC use copper wire for the final stretch to your home, which can limit speeds depending on your distance from the node. Check your connection type at nbnco.com.au.

Is NBN available everywhere in Australia?

NBN fixed-line coverage is widespread in metro and regional areas, but not universal. Rural and remote areas may be served by Sky Muster satellite or fixed wireless connections instead. Some businesses also use dedicated fibre or 4G/5G fixed wireless solutions.
