This upgrade has the potential to add value to your property, making it more attractive for renters and buyers alike. Most importantly, it will deliver access to our fastest residential speed tiers with the ability to reach near gigabit speeds*. If you’re a business, you could gain access to a range of our higher residential speed tiers with faster upload speeds*.

What's involved in the process?

Check out our handy step-by-step guide to learn about what's involved in the installation process.

Is there a cost involved?

nbn covers a significant portion of the fibre installation as part of our network investment plan, however a customer co-contribution is also required. The customer co-contribution cost starts at $275 (inc GST) per individual unit/apartment. 

A joint payment will be required for all units/apartments in your building. This fee is payable by the Body Corporate or similar representative body for all the owners.

Any increase to the customer co-contribution is determined after an nbn construction partner has visited the site and determined the exact cost of the installation.  Any costs above the nbn subsidy will be passed onto the customer, in addition to the starting cost of $275 (inc GST) per individual unit/apartment.  

Reasons for an increased cost may include (but are not limited to);

  • smaller buildings (approximately 8 premises or less);
  • low rise buildings/complexes;
  • heritage buildings; and 
  • commercial buildings; 
  • buildings that necessitate more complex or costly installation methods or materials; or
  • buildings with access restrictions.  

If there are any additional costs, a nbn representative will discuss this with your building's authorised representative once the installation plan and pricing is confirmed. You may choose to decline the fibre upgrade without incurring any penalties if you do not agree to the additional costs.

Common questions

*Regardless of the retail service you purchase, actual wholesale download speeds delivered to providers will be less than 1Gbps due to equipment and network limitations. Your experience on FTTP, including the speeds actually achieved, depends on the configuration over which services are delivered to your premises, whether you are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like your equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, or how your provider designs its network). Business nbn FTTP services are provided over our TC-4 nbn Ethernet TC-4 services. Additional charges may apply if you take up optional extras like Business Services.

#Not all providers offer plans based on the full range of wholesale speed tiers. Talk to your preferred provider for more information about availability and the right retail solution for your needs.
