Why switch to the nbn network?

Cable and ADSL connections will eventually be phased out.

You need to switch to the nbn network once it is in your area because it replaces your existing internet connection. You've got 18 months from the date that the nbn network is available at your address to do so, but the earlier you switch the sooner you can start enjoying the benefits of the nbn network.

Switch now and avoid the cut off date.

nbn co gives you 18 months to switch to the nbn network from when they let you know that the nbn network is available at your address. After that 18 month period is up, your old internet and phone line won't work. The good news is, it's easy to switch with Telstra.

Frequently asked questions

You need to switch to the nbn network before the disconnection date, to avoid your phone and internet services being disconnected. If you miss the date, then a managed disconnection process begins. This is in line with Australian Government requirements. 

If your property has not previously been connected to the nbn network, an nbn co technician will need to come to your address and connect you to the nbn network. Once the external connection gear is live, we’ll be able to deliver fast, reliable nbn into your home or office. 

NOTE: If you already have an active nbn connection, you probably won’t need a technician to visit. We’ll work this out once you place your order. 

Once you switch to the nbn network, your home phone number will stay the same, but your phone will run over your nbn connection, through your Telstra Smart Modem. This means you can only have one phone line. 

Any other existing phone lines in your home will no longer work once you’re connected to the nbn network. If you wish to enable existing phone outlets or connect new ones, additional wiring will need to be installed by a registered cabler. Alternatively you can use wireless handsets. 

Please be aware that if you have more than one phone in your home these will no longer work once you are connected to the nbn network. Additional wiring or the purchase of compatible phone devices is required. Learn more about moving your smart modem here.

Alarms and medical alerts that rely on your phone line may be affected when you move to the nbn network. To ensure that they continue to work, please contact your alarm provider. If you'd like more information or assistance, we're also available on 1800 993 728. 

Once you connect to the nbn network, you won’t be able to access your broadband and voice services through your ADSL or cable connection. Instead, you’ll access them through your new nbn network connection. And once connected to the nbn network, you won’t be able to move your services back to our copper or cable networks.

When you request for your broadband and voice services to be moved to the nbn network, you’re giving consent to the installation of services on the nbn network on behalf of all account holders at your premises. 

Things you need to know

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, and you will receive a pro-rata refund for your plan charge for the remainder of your month.

Speed Add-ons

Typical busy period speeds for the new nbn tiers Superfast and Ultrafast are an estimate only. We do not have sufficient data yet to calculate the typical busy period speed of these add-ons. Actual speeds experienced may be lower due to various factors including in-home setup and wiring, For ordinary personal domestic use. For important information on speeds see nbn key facts sheet (PDF, 81KB)

Service Availability

Services not available to all areas or premises.

Installation

Standard installation includes self-installation of your modem, eligibility criteria applies. Extra charges apply for non-standard installation of Telstra and NBN Co equipment and for premises in new developments.

nbn™ New Development Charge

In areas serviced by nbn co, Telstra may be required to connect services onto the nbn network. If you’re in a new development and not already connected to the nbn network, nbn co may charge $300 to connect your premises to the nbn network. If applicable, we will bill that charge to you. Once you are connected to nbn fibre, you won’t be able to move to our copper network. Extra charges may apply for non-standard or professional install of Telstra or nbn co equipment and for premises in new developments.

Third-party modems and routers on the nbn

While we do offer Telstra Smart Modems to our customers, we know some may want to use their own equipment to connect to the nbn. This can be done by bridging our modem and plugging an ethernet cable from the WAN port of their equipment into a LAN port on the Smart Modem, or by plugging their equipment straight into the NTD, NCD, or wall socket (FTTN/B).

Our voice services will not work with third-party modems and routers, or if the Smart Modem has been bridged and mobile backup is also disabled in bridge mode. Our nbn assurance teams also don’t provide support for services using third-party equipment to connect to the nbn. Telstra Platinum can provide limited assistance.

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.

Medical security alarms, lift phones and fire indicator panels

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.
