What the NBN looks like

 
 
Print

The National Broadband Network is being constructed using both underground and overhead options. It will depend on where you live as to whether you will have an underground or overhead network connected in your street. Initially, it will take between 2-4 days for field survey and planning for the network. This is where the field design team will gather the information needed to construct the network specifically for your street.
Building the underground option for the NBN will take around 10 days per street. The overhead option will not take as long to construct (3 days) as it will utilise existing power poles - as illustrated in the graphic below.
*These time frames are indicative only, actual times may vary depending on the conditions we encounter in your street.
