NBN Co Connectivity: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access Australia's national broadband infrastructure and how connection types can impact your online performance.
This scheme provides access to the national broadband infrastructure used to deliver internet to homes and businesses across the country.
Who it's for
This is available to all premises located in Australia.
What you get
You get access to the national broadband network, which serves as the foundation for your internet connection.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to the infrastructure provider, but you will need to pay a monthly subscription fee to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to access the service.
The catch to know
The specific type of connection available at your address (such as FTTP or FTTN) can significantly affect your ping. Ping is the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a server and back; a lower ping generally means a more responsive connection.
How to apply
- Check which connection type is available at your specific address.
- Choose an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- Sign up for a service plan through your chosen provider.
