Note: The FTTP upgrade has not expired. A new deal page has been created here.

Starting from today about 50,000 properties out of about 2 million properties can request to change their nbn FTTN to FTTP from a participating ISP.

More FTTN to FTTP network upgrades will happen until the end of 2025.

List of FTTN to FTTP locations by state and territory. More FTTN to FTTP locations to be announced.

Approx 1 million FTTC to FTTP locations will be ready by the end of 2022 and the remaining 500k locations will be ready in 2023.

Register here for FTTP updates via email.

Manually check your address here every month.

If your property is ready to go you will see this message halfway down the page;

Good news! You may be able to upgrade to nbn™ FTTP.

Contact a participating ISP to organize the FTTN to FTTP or FTTC to FTTP changeover.

Conditions, eligibility criteria and costs will apply – please speak with your preferred provider. Eligibility criteria includes among other things, being designated by nbn as a simple premises (e.g. standalone premises or Single Dwelling Unit (SDU)) and placing an order for an nbn® powered plan based on an eligible wholesale speed tier. Additional costs may apply to providers, who may choose to pass this charge onto their customers.

What is the minimum speed plan you can order from a participating ISP to get FTTP?

FTTN to FTTP: Home Fast (100/20).

FTTC to FTTP: Home Superfast (250/25) Home Fast (100/20).

Can I order a faster speed plan?

Faster speeds can be ordered.

FTTN to FTTP: 100/40, Home Superfast (250/25) and Home Ultrafast (1000/50) | 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400.

FTTC to FTTP: 100/40, Home Superfast (250/25) and Home Ultrafast (1000/50) | 250/100, 500/200 and 1000/400.

Are there any fees?

There are no fees for the installation of FTTP.

There is a $200 nbn downgrade fee if you change to a slower speed plan before 12 months ends. It is up to the ISP if they pass the $200 nbn downgrade fee onto you or not. If you change to a slower speed after 12 months there are no nbn downgrade fees.

Participating ISPs

2it Technology, Activ8me, AGL Communications, Atomic Systems, Aussie Broadband, Buroserv, Commander, Dodo, Exetel, FibreMax, Field Solutions Group, Flip, Harbour, ICTHUB, iiNet, iPrimus, Kinetix Networks, Launtel, Leaptel, Lightning IP, MATE, Mint Telecom, Moose Mobile, More, Nehos Communications, NewSprout, NodeOne, Occom, OntheNet, Optus, Plesi, Rummage Connect, Southern Phone, SpinTel, Superloop, Swoop, Tangerine, Telstra, Uniti and VeeTel. More ISPs to be announced.

Participating ISPs.

Is nbn FTTP installed automatically?

No you have to order nbn FTTP with a minimum speed plan from a participating ISP.

What is the nbn NTD?

The nbn NTD is a Network Termination Device that gets wall mounted inside your home and plugs into the WAN port on your router.

Do I need a new router?

It is unlikely that you need to purchase a new router for 100/20 and 250/25.

To get the best results for 1000/50 you most likely need to purchase a new router. A router with a Gigabit WAN port alone is not enough to max out 1000/50. Ethernet cabling gives you the most consistent speeds. For the best Wi-Fi speeds you want the router, computer, mobile phone and so on to have Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 6E. Dong Knows Tech has many router reviews with Gigabit speedtest graphs.

What happens if I want to stay on nbn FTTN or FTTC?

Nothing changes and you continue to use FTTN or FTTC as normal.

    I rang my ISP superloop to ask about upgrading because my suburb is listed and a single dwelling and they said they have no information on it yet

    • MassEffect on 22/03/2022 - 20:28

      Same. Called Exetel. Said they've not been communicated about this from NBN.

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 22/03/2022 - 14:57

    Charlestown was announced in May 2021, and I saw some Workmen fiddling out the front with Green cable not long after.

    As yet, we still haven't heard anything.

    We are with iinet, and I just saw they are not part of the Participating ISP's?

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 22/03/2022 - 15:17

      Still saying FTTn on Exetel site.

        I just checked Exetel and Aussie Broadband(who are on the list), and we are eligible up to 100/20? or FTTN . We are on the 50 plan, as we were on the 100 plan, however speeds were just on 50.

    My suburb was Announced in May 2021, so 10 month earlier than the listed suburbs above according to NBN. They came and made a mess outside ~August last year… nothing since.
    I only subscribe to a 50/20 bcos my max speed using a modem in the garage which is 50cm from the Telstra pit, is 40/8…. 1.3kms from the node. Do I need to change the subscription to a higher speed for them to pull their finger out?

    Anyone know if Launtel still have those plans you can "pause" indefinitely eg sign up for day one, suspend for 12 months for no cost or would the $200 apply?

    Then they can run existing service from another provider on port 2.

    • Twix on 22/03/2022 - 17:29

    How confusing!

    • buckster on 22/03/2022 - 22:05

      Yeah, I think the website app gives a best case 'theoretical' scenario but real world performance is a bit more varied. E.g. I get about 15mbps less than what the site says my theoretical max is and their support crew find about the same when they test it on their end. Yay for FTTN

        Sorry, I should have elaborated. I’m only on 50/20

  • duckieboy on 22/03/2022 - 19:15

    I'm in the eligible suburb and just contact exetel about upgrading to an eligible plan so they can organise with NBN to upgrade my premise from fttn to fttp.

    Exetel told me they can upgrade my plan but I'll need to imagine upgrade to fttp with NBN directly.

    Reading the NBN website, it states that the ISP will organise with NBN on your behalf.

    Does anyone know what the process is? TIA.

  • andw on 22/03/2022 - 19:29

    Not in eligible suburbs yet, but what really annoys me about this is I pay for 50MB as the maximum my FTTN can get is 38MB.
    People who can't get what they pay for should get upgraded automatically.
    Yes, I would like faster, but am annoyed that you have to request minimum of 100 anyway just to get what you pay for.

      Time to jump on 5G or 4G internet

  • Herbse on 22/03/2022 - 19:43

    Judging by the comments here it seems like

    • The ISP's have no idea what to do or know anything about this
    • There's no official way to apply for one of the 50,000 spots or know if you have officially been registered for the upgrade
    • This could end up being some marketing spin pre election to keep people happy and temporarily forget who got us into this mess in the first place

    🤷

    • Twix on 22/03/2022 - 19:54

      ISPs have known about this for months. I suppose more of their reps need to be updated.

      The official way is to ask any of the participating ISPs. Aussie BB is the only ISP I have found with a online checker and someone here has signed up with Superloop.

      I read that the process was really convoluted and unfriendly for ISPs so a lot had just ignored it. Plus the NBNco had drastically reduced the scope of the program without warning?

    What shits me is the fact that the labor party put $46 billion in the bank around 2006? 2007? and said "we are going to give most Australian households fibre to premise "

    They started rolling out the fibre and then in september 2013 the majority of voters voted for the LNP because the LNP said we will give you fast broadband for $26 billion.

    The latest figure i saw was a few weeks ago and nbnco hoped they could contain the cost to about 60 or 61 billion…

    But what have we got?? Shit internet thats what

    61 billion for shit!

    Dont blame me i voted labor

    Sorry just thought to use this deal to ask a relevant question.

    Is paying $70/month for 50/20 unlimited on FTTN a good deal?

    The bundle is actually $70 + $10 (landline) per month with TPG.

    I figured this is a good deal so I'm staying with it.

    Housemate needs landline for whatever reason so we bundled with it.

    I see $60/month 50/20 deals sometimes but they are always temporary and then become much more expensive after like 6-12 months usually.

    So is this a good deal?

    I'm happy with 50/20 for now.. I don't even get time to use the speed much any more since I only play one game (so very little updates) and 1080p HD streaming doesn't get throttled by 50/20 internet at all so I think there is no need for me to go higher unless I start making content.

    • superforever on 23/03/2022 - 09:26

      Is paying $70/month for 50/20 unlimited on FTTN a good deal?

      This deal is about free upgrade to fibre not about the plan, although you have to subscribe to 100/20 min.

        Yeah saw this yesterday morning (sorry did not see your reply before then).

        As long as they upgrade the backhaul to the tower - this will be very, very interesting IF it comes to my semi-rural property.

        Problem is I CAN get close to my promised 70Mbps speed (69), but only when I measure at 5:30 in the morning. During the day it goes 45-55 or so (still not bad we have had a recent tower upgrade). ABB CVC shows plenty of capacity and speaking to neighbours on different ISPs they see the same behaviour.

        So yeah 5G will make the picocells capable of of those speeds but unless they provide more backhaul to the tower we'll still be dipping during the day.

        But I'm sure they will, they're not that stupid. I can wait a few more years I guess.

        Thanks for the response Twix.

    My suburb is on the list for upgrades from FFTN to FTTP. This is what ive learnt.

    • You can't apply the upgrade for your premises until the suburb/street has been upgraded.
    • If I were to join the 100/20 plan right now, I don't need to apply to a higher tier to trigger the upgrade. Once available, upgrade would not happen automatically and i would need to contact the ISP so they can put through an application

      Sweet! What speed are you changing to?

      I thought NBN guys work very slow.

      Did nbnco website say a message you are eligible for fttp, were you on fttn or fttc? I rang superloop today (I’m on fttc) and they said they can’t see any option to request an upgrade for fttp for me. And to try ask them later. Despite asking them many times and saying nbnco announcement…

        I just saw my suburb was available for upgrade to fttp and i messaged them via chat. Currently on FTTN.

        Soon after the chat i received sms from both NBN and Superloop relating to install dates.

      When I have contacted super loop they have said they are still working on a process. How did you go about organising this?

      • LuI3 on 24/03/2022 - 10:03

        The person i was chatting to just told me they have forwarded the order onto NBN and they would be in touch. As mentioned above, soon after the chat i received two SMS from Superloop and NBN about install dates.

    My suburb is listed, yet I can't apply.

    • Twix on 23/03/2022 - 17:15

      If you live in Bayswater, Bayswater North, Braybrook, Cranborne North, Hampton Park, Lynbrook, Narre Warren, Rowville, Sunshine, Sunshine North you can apply now. If it isn't you have to wait to apply.

      • johnmelb on 23/03/2022 - 17:20

        I see now, it's listed in the second table "additional fibre extensions"

        Maybe the deal should be "Targeted"?

          I'll ask the mods to put the targeted tag. Register here for FTTP updates via email.

    Just phoned Aussie broadband. My property apparently isn't able to be connected to FTTP now despite the NBN website saying otherwise (saying I can contact a provider). Weird.

    Ok rang them back for clarification, even though the NBN website says "Good news! You may be able to upgrade to nbn™ FTTP." the only way to find out if you can is by ringing a participating provider. Very organised of NBN….
