We'll help you every step of the way
Want to be prepared for the arrival of nbn to your area? We’re here to help you get set up and connected.
nbn delivers the network to your area and installs their equipment at your place,
before a service provider, like us, completes the process.
nbn network
When the nbn network arrives in your area, if you choose us as your provider, we’ll help organise the connection
to your property. The Federal Government’s commitment to delivering the nbn network includes the standard
installation of technology by nbn at your place at no cost to you.
For most people the nbn network is replacing Telstra’s existing copper network, so most Australians will need to move their home phone and internet services to the nbn network if they want to keep using their phone and internet at home. All our current home broadband plans and bundles are nbn network-compatible, meaning that you’ll be ready when the nbn network arrives in your area. So, whether the nbn network is already there, or is still on its way, we have a plan, as well as a bumper entertainment bundle, for you.
Depending on where you live, nbn will connect your property to the network using one of a variety of technologies. When the nbn network rollout reaches your area, nbn will let you know which technology will service your area.
Choose to connect to the nbn network with us and we'll help you with the rest.
The nbn co provides different types of nbn technology depending on which area your home or business is located in. We’ve listed the different types of nbn connection below.
The type of nbn technology nbn co uses to connect your property will determine what your maximum internet speed can be.
If you’d like help connecting the nbn connection box to your router or modem, or if you have any other nbn connection problems talk to us about our professional installation service.
