Frequently asked questions

They’re faster internet speed tiers which nbn co has made available through providers like Telstra. If you're an eligible customer on Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) nbn or an Opticomm connection—and you have Telstra’s Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast Home Internet plan—you can access these upgraded nbn speeds.

The new high speed tiers come with faster download and upload speeds than current nbn plans. They can help give you a better internet experience, especially if your household has multiple connected devices that might be streaming in 4K, gaming and making video calls all at once.

The speed upgrade will be applied automatically to eligible services at no extra cost.

The speeds are:

 

Telstra Upfront

Premium

Telstra Upfront

Ultimate

Telstra Upfront

Ultrafast

New Speed Tier

For FTTP and HFC nbn connections

500 Mbps download / 50 Mbps upload 750 Mbps download /50 Mbps upload 1000 Mbps download / 100 Mbps upload

New Typical Busy Period Speeds (7pm-11pm)

For FTTP and HFC nbn connections 

500 Mbps download / 40 Mbps upload 750 Mbps download / 40 Mbps upload 815 Mbps download / 80 Mbps* upload

* We’re still calculating typical busy period upload speeds (7pm - 11pm) on this plan - the information here is an estimate only. Speeds experienced may be lower and may vary due to factors including your modem and cabling, in-home setup and wiring.

To get the new speeds, you need to have the Telstra Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast Home Internet Plan and be connected to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) technology.   

If you're not on Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), you'll need to upgrade your nbn connection to access the new speeds and make sure you're on an eligible plan.

No, the current plan prices have not changed with the nbn speed upgrade - only the speeds they come with has changed.

nbn® will need up to 2-4 weeks to prepare your fibre (FTTP) upgrade for installation. 

During this time, we will set you up on a plan that's compatible with your existing nbn tech when we take your order. 

Once the fibre upgrade process is complete, we'll move you over to your selected high-speed plan. We won't disconnect your existing FTTN or FTTC connection until your new FTTP is connected. And you won’t pay for the high speed-plan until we move you over.

Note: Once you’ve chosen to upgrade to FTTP, you can’t go back to your old connection. 

  1. An nbn® approved installer may need to visit to assess the outside of your premises and identify any obstacles for your upcoming installation appointment. You do not need to be home at this time. 

  2. Once external checks are complete, Telstra will call you to book an installation date. 

  3. On the day of the installation, the process will take 3-4 hours. You or someone over 18 needs to be home.

  4. Once installation is done, you simply unplug your modem from the old connection and plug it into the new FTTP connection. It will take a few moments to sync up. And you’re done.

If you're renting, make sure that you have the landlord or property manager's permission before the visit. The technician may need to do work that will need approval - such as drilling into the property walls.

The works include:

  • Installation of the nbn fibre lead-in with nbn utility box and drop cable
  • Installation of nbn utility box to the property’s external wall and internal nbn connection box and power supply. 

 

Yes, once your new fibre service is up and running, you'll need to unplug your modem from its existing connection and connect it to your new fibre connection box. You can follow the FTTP instructions (PDF, 535KB).

  • To avoid downtime, nbn® will leave your existing connection active while will they install your new (FTTP) connection, and ensure it’s up and running before they switch you over.  

  • When you unplug your modem from the old connection and plug it into the new FTTP connection, it may take a few minutes to sync up. (You may need to move your modem)

  • During the upgrade, there may be a temporary interruption to your service. This could be anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on the required activities and the current nbn technology at your premises. 

Our smart modems have a built-in 4G SIM, so if there is an outage, it can switch to our 4G mobile network in minutes.  

4G coverage required. Backup speeds capped at 25/5 Mbps. Actual speeds may be lower.

nbn® has set eligibility criteria for the upgrade program, including which plan you need to be on to receive the free FTTP tech upgrade.

You will need to choose the Premium plan or above to be eligible for a free tech upgrade. 

If NBN determines you have an Under Performing Line, the minimum plan requirement does not apply.
