The nbn™ broadband access network - key facts

nbn is building and constructing the broadband access network

For most people, it will replace your current broadband technology: dial-up, ADSL2 or cable.
The nbn™ broadband access network is replacing parts of the existing phone & internet infrastructure. Most Australians will need to switch to keep using their phone and internet at home**.
Once it is available in your area, you will have approximately 18 months to switch before your existing phone and/or internet is disconnected.
Check your address to see when Australia's new broadband network is available at your premises.

nbn is a wholesaler – we don't sell direct to the public

nbn provides wholesale services to providers who then offer plans to the public.
To connect, speak to a provider about a plan that best suits your needs.
Your provider will also help if you have any issues once you’re connected.
There is no need to contact nbn directly.

Choice of provider, speed and data

As a consumer, you have a choice of providers and superfast speeds. In most cases, providers also offer a choice of bandwidth options.
Choose carefully as providers are responsible for a number of elements of the network outside of nbn’s control that will affect your internet experience. A provider's network capacity and the quality of modem they offer are just two examples of factors that can affect the performance of your internet.
