Telstra - What will it cost to connect to the nbn™ network?

What will it cost me to connect to the nbn™ network?

In most cases if you switch over to the nbn™ network from an existing connection, it won’t cost you anything to connect to the nbn network.

Charges will apply if you;

connect a new phone/internet service
move into an nbn ready address
choose a casual plan
connect a newly built property
get a technician to help
add extras like more connection points
need additional equipment that is not included in your plan. (e.g. new modem on a casual plan, network extenders, home phone handset)

Check out the table below for more details about the fees that could apply to you:

Connection Fees		When it applies
Home Phone and/or Broadband Activation Fee	$99	You connect a new Home Phone and/or internet service.
Home Phone and/or Broadband Moving Home Fee	$89	You move home to an nbn ready address.
Casual Plan Fee	$120	You sign up to a new Casual Plan (month to month contract).
Professional Installation Fee* (optional)	$240	You require a technician to set up your modem and up to 5 devices, plus advise you about optimizing your Wi-Fi & Telstra internet connection.

Your technician will provide a quote for these prior to doing any work

What if I have a concession card?

If you have an eligible pension concession card, you may get discounts on some connection fees. Check with your Telstra representative when you place your nbn connection order.

Good to know:

If professional Installation is something that Telstra requires, for example with a Home Phone only or Medical Priority Assistance installation, then you won’t be charged the professional installation fee.
