Fibre upgrades available for 700,000 Victorian homes and businesses
- More than 700,000 homes and businesses in Victoria are now eligible to upgrade to nbn full fibre and access our fastest home internet speeds.
- This includes 555,000 homes and businesses in Greater Melbourne, and almost 150,000 in regional Victoria.
- More than 1.3 million premises in Victoria will be eligible to upgrade to nbn full fibre by 2025.
- A full fibre connection means customers can access nbn’s fastest home speed tier – Home Ultrafast, which is close to 18 times faster than the average nbn home connection3.
More Victorians than ever are now eligible1 to order nbn full fibre and enjoy the benefits of our fastest and most reliable residential speeds2.
A full fibre connection means customers can access nbn’s fastest home speed tier – Home Ultrafast, which is close to 18 times faster than the average nbn home connection3, offering peak wholesale speeds close to 1Gbps2.
Victorians are using 10 per cent more data than just two years ago – and across the nation our consumption of data has more than tripled in seven years4. nbn is upgrading its network to stay ahead of that demand.
nbn’s fibre upgrade program was boosted by the Australian Government’s additional $2.4 billion investment earlier this year. Victorians will also benefit from the Victorian Government’s investment through the $550 million Connecting Victoria program that is funding broadband upgrades for over 100,000 households with more than 30,000 of these already delivered.
Once complete, the upgrades will bring fibre – and the future – to the doorstep of more than 3.5 million premises across Australia by 2025, including more than 1.3 million in Victoria.
To trigger an upgrade, eligible customers can purchase an eligible high speed internet plan through a participating internet retailer. To find out more, visit nbn.com.au/fibreupgrade.
nbn® Customer Experience Expert, Jane McNamara, said:
“It is exciting to see that more than 700,000 homes and businesses in Victoria can upgrade to fibre in parts of suburbs like Bayswater, Chelsea, Bentleigh, Dandenong, Mooroolbark and many more.
“More customers than ever before are using their nbn® network connections to do things like cloud gaming, virtual and augmented reality, streaming, working from home and online learning – and that means more people are connecting to fibre and its faster speeds and greater reliability2.
“For the average Australian household which now has 21 connected devices5, fibre provides a fast, reliable and consistent online experience, even at the busiest times of the day. Most importantly, it’s designed for a future where giant leaps in technology, and homes with multiple devices are the norm.
“nbn fibre enhances online activities such as video calls, gaming and live streaming by providing faster response times and minimal lag. This means customers can simultaneously engage in video calls, upload photos, download large files, and enjoy online streaming or gaming with less buffering or dropouts.”
“On our fastest residential speed plan you may be able to download a Call of Duty – Cold War (130GB) game download in under 30 minutes – compared to potentially 7 hours on a standard residential plan##.
“It is simple to upgrade to fibre. First, check if you’re eligible via nbn’s website, then contact an internet retailer to order an eligible higher speed internet plan. We’ll work with your internet provider to build fibre straight to your home.1"
