The government-owned nbn network is being rolled out to provide Australians with access to a reliable broadband connection. Once the nbn network is available in your area, Telstra can help you get set up with the home phone and broadband internet services to suit your needs

For most people, the nbn network is replacing Telstra’s existing copper network. This means at some point 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 – even those who just use a home phone.  All our current home broadband plans and bundles are nbn network-compatible, meaning our customers be ready when the nbn network arrives in their area. Don’t worry, we’ll contact you when the time is right to help you move over to the nbn once it comes to your area.

Once the nbn network arrives in your area, you will have 18 months to transition onto the new network. We will let you know when the time comes to transition your services, and we’ll assist you every step of the way.

Factors that could affect your nbn™ speeds

The nbn is rolling out as a mix of technology types, meaning that your nbn connection might be different to your friend, family or even your neighbours! There’s a tonne of factors that can influence your speeds on the nbn, some common ones are:

  • Quality and length of copper line or from your premises to your fibre nbn connection.
  • Weather conditions, including heavy rain.
  • Quality and layout of in-premises cabling
  • Internal and External electrical interference

Because of the variety of nbn technology types, it’s important that if you have speed issues, you speak to an expert to find out what your technology type is and work together to find out what the root cause could be.

Your service provider's network capacity

During busy periods, like 7-11pm in the evening, broadband speeds can slow down as more premises use the internet at the same time. The more network capacity your service provider purchases from nbn for your area the less speeds will decline during these times.

At Telstra, we purchase enough capacity from nbn to deliver our customers the best possible speeds. We continually monitor traffic and adjust capacity to meet demand from our customers and deliver these speeds.
