nbn - Accelerate Great (Speed Changes)

Overview

Starting from September 2025, nbn will introduce a speed uplift across a range of its wholesale broadband bundles. The uplift will apply automatically to eligible services, at no additional cost, and aims to deliver higher upload speeds to support modern usage such as cloud services, video conferencing, and remote work.

What is changing?

  • Certain Home and Business nbn speed tiers will receive increased upload speeds.

  • The uplift is automatic — no new order is required.

  • Pricing will not change.

  • The uplift is part of nbn’s broader program to improve capacity and customer experience across the network.

Speed Increases on HFC and FTTP

nbn will permanently increase the wholesale speeds on three existing TC4 speed tiers over the HFC and FTTP networks: Home Fast becomes 500/50Mbps, Home Superfast becomes 750/50Mbps, and Home Ultrafast becomes 1000/100Mbps.

Introduction of AVC TC4 250/100 on HFC

nbn will introduce a new 250/100Mbps speed tier on the HFC network and reduce the price of the FTTP 250/100Mbps speed tier.

Next Generation FTTP NTD

nbn will transition to a standard new 1-port FTTP NTD, and a new 4-port device will be made available to customers with multiple services or using higher speed Business Plans (or for an additional charge). These new devices will replace the current end-of-supply device, enable multi-gigabit speed tiers and support the accelerated rollout of the FTTP network via the Fibre Connect program.
