Alex Choros - Managing Editor + Group Telco Editor

Last updated 18 October 2022

NBN Co has revealed he final batch of suburbs that will be eligible to have Fibre to the Node (FTTN) connections upgraded to Fibre to the Premise (FTTP) at no extra cost. The latest list of towns and suburbs covers an additional 300,000 homes and businesses, bringing the current total to two million premises goal the network builder laid out when it announced the initiative.

NBN Co says it is on track to enable all two million homes and businesses to get gigabit speeds by 2023. It expects over half a million FTTN premises to be able to upgrade to FTTP by the end of the year, and is currently enabling new addresses at a rate of 50,000 per month, on average.

This is in addition to towns and suburbs from previous upgrade announcements.

If you're on FTTN in an eligible area, you'll need to opt-in for a full fibre upgrade once your area is FTTP-ready. To do so, you'll simply need to order an NBN 100 plan. This will start the process of upgrading a premise to FTTP. Read more about the process here.
