Understanding the nbn network.

How is nbn different to ADSL and Cable?
The nbn network uses mainly optical fibre to deliver internet, while ADSL & cable use the existing copper and cable networks. The nbn is designed to future-proof your home with high-capacity internet and faster speeds.

Do I have to move to the nbn?
Most Australians will need to switch to the nbn network because it replaces your existing phone and cable networks. Once the nbn arrives in your area, you'll have 18 months to move. Read our moving to nbn article
