Buying an additional nbn service

Most customers only need a single service at their address. Here’s some information about having an additional service.

What is an additional nbn service?

An additional nbn service is an extra service to the one that’s already set up at your address. If you order an additional service, we may need to install a new line if one isn’t available at the address, and you’ll need to set up another modem.

While most homes only need one service, there are a few examples of when you, your family or business might need more than one: 

  • You run a small to medium sized business at home and you need multiple services. 
  • You need an additional service to support working from home.
  • Your residence is sub divided and you may be living in a duplex or granny flat. 
  • You live in a share house of heavy internet users

If you don’t have a spare line available, we’ll need to install one. This means it may take a little longer to get online, and additional fees may apply. Whether you have a spare line or need one installed, you’ll need an additional modem and a new plan. This means your household could be paying for multiple nbn services.

If you’re with another provider and want to transfer to Telstra instead, we can arrange to disconnect your existing service and set you up with a Telstra service. You can shop nbn plans to get started.

The speed we estimate for an additional service may be different from the speed we estimate for the primary service. That’s because we estimate each line at the address. Every line is unique and factors such as the age of the copper cable, the quality of the connectors, or environmental damage can impact the speed.

We’ll check your maximum speeds later
At some addresses, we’re unable to check the maximum speeds at your address until you’re connected. While we don’t have the information at this stage, we’ll notify you of your maximum download and upload speeds once you’re on your new plan.
If the maximum speed at your address is below the maximum speed of the plan you’ve chosen, we will advise you of the options available to you which may include (i) remaining on your current plan; (ii) moving to a lower priced plan (if one is available); (iii) cancelling your plan at no cost (not available to upgrading customers). If your options include changing or cancelling your plan, you’ll receive a proportionate refund for the period you didn’t receive the full benefit of your chosen plan.

What are my maximum speeds?

The maximum speed ranges are determined by the technology nbn co makes available at your home or business, and are the best estimate we can make of the fastest possible speeds of your connection, based on the information available. The speeds you’ll experience will usually be slower, particularly during busy periods, and may be impacted by things like your in-home set up and wiring. We’ll use the latest information when you’re on your new plan to confirm the maximum speeds at your address.

When choosing a plan, you’ll see how the maximum speeds at your address relate to your plan options. This is important because you will not be able to experience the typical or maximum speeds of a plan if the speeds available at your address are lower.

Important

An nbn service can never go faster than the maximum line speed available at your premises, so for FTTN/B/C customers we will confirm your maximum attainable speed after connection and let you know if your line is not able to achieve the maximum speed of your plan.

The nbn™ tier figures represent wholesale maximum network speeds during off-peak periods. The nbn™  tier figures and ‘typical busy period speeds’ are not measures of customers’ actual in-premises speeds, which may be slower. Not all customers receive these speeds. In some cases, the nbn™ tier figures and the typical busy period speeds are similar. Find out more about speeds on the nbn network with Telstra.

Plan prices

Your plan and add-ons may change (including price and inclusions).  If you don’t like a change, you can change your plan or cancel your plan or add-ons.  If you cancel, just pay out your device, accessories and services in full.

nbn® New Development Charge

If you’re in a new development without existing phone or internet infrastructure, nbn co may impose a $300 New Development Charge (NDC) to connect you to the nbn network. This includes new lots, subdivisions, and granny flats with a separate address from the primary residence. If applicable, we will bill that charge to you  and we will let you know at the time of confirming your order and you will have the option to cancel. Extra charges may apply for non-standard or professional installation of Telstra or nbn co equipment and for premises in new developments. Once you are connected to nbn fibre, you won’t be able to move to our copper network.

Telstra Smart Modem™

Mobile backup is available to premises in 4G coverage areas. Check coverage at telstra.com/coverage. Your mobile backup connection is capped at 25Mbps for downloads and 5Mbps for uploads. Actual speeds may be lower due to local conditions and content accessed.

If you have alarms such as back-to-base security alarm or medi-alert connected to your home phone service, it’s important you contact your medical or security provider to check if they’re compatible with the service and identify what alternatives are available.
