We’re gearing up to bring you our fastest home internet yet. From this September, eligible customers can enjoy higher speeds for a better-connected life.
If you're currently on a Consumer Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast nbn® plan with FTTP (fibre to the premise) or HFC (hybrid fibre coaxial), you’ll automatically be upgraded to faster speeds. And not just a bit faster, with our Premium plan being accelerated to deliver five times faster wholesale download speeds.
If you're currently on another type of home internet plan and technology type (like fibre to the curb or node), you can also upgrade your plan and technology now to experience truly beautiful home internet in September.
Speeds experienced may be lower due to factors including in-home setup and wiring.

With the number of devices in our homes, speed can matter more than ever. Faster internet speeds can allow you to do more, without the frustration of slow connections. And our computers need reliable broadband too; as well as many smart TVs, doorbells, baby monitors, gaming consoles and robot vacuums that can require an internet connection.
These new, faster speeds are only available if you're a Telstra customer with a Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast plan. If this is you, here’s what you can expect from September:
If you're on a Basic or Essential plan and you're interested in accelerated, high-speed wholesale products, use our address checker to see what technology your address uses and what plans you could get.
Imagine the possibility of streaming higher resolution TV shows and movies, jumping on smoother video calls, downloading games super quickly and working seamlessly from home. Our lives are reliant on digital connectivity, so it only follows we need fast, reliable broadband to support it.
Think of this as more than just a tech upgrade - it's a massive improvement to the backbone of your connected life, making the things you do online faster, more streamlined and ultimately, more enjoyable.
We’re making it easier than ever to switch to a faster, more reliable connection.
If you're currently on an eligible FTTN or FTTC connection, now is the perfect time to consider an upgrade. nbn will upgrade your technology from FTTC/N to FTTP for free (standard installation only). To be eligible for this upgrade, you must sign up to a Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast plan.
Select addresses and eligible customers only.
Just to recap, if you’re already on FTTP or HFC and have a Premium, Ultimate or Ultrafast plan, your plan will automatically be upgraded to the higher wholesale speeds from September.
If you’re on FTTP or HFC but have a Basic or Essential plan, there will be no change to your plan speed. Check out our nbn plans to upgrade.
We get it. This is a lot of tech-talk for one article, so here’s a rundown of the terms and abbreviations we've used:
