In terms of speed tiers, there are six different NBN connection types that these technologies can connect to. These NBN speed tiers are as follows:
NBN 12 (max 12Mbps download, 1Mbps upload) NBN 25 (max 25Mbps download, 5Mbps upload) NBN 50 (max 50Mbps download, 20Mbps upload) NBN 100 (max 100Mbps download, 20Mbps or 40Mbps upload) NBN 250 (max 250Mbps download, 25Mbps upload) NBN 1000 (max 1000Mbps download, 50Mbps upload)
The NBN technologies from the top list are ordered in terms of their NBN speed potentiality, with FTTP and HFC homes capable of signing up to all six of those speed tiers. FTTC and FTTB homes can sign up to all speed tiers up to NBN 100, while FTTN homes may tap out as low as NBN 25 or NBN 50 depending on the quality of their connection (i.e. the length of the copper wiring to the NBN node). Other FTTN homes with shorter copper wiring runs are capable of signing up forNBN 100 plans. Below is a daily updating list of popular NBN 100 plans with unlimited data. The list of popular plans below is a mix of NBN Fixed Wireless and NBN satellite plans. Most of the time, this process shouldn’t involve an NBN connection fee and while you may be required to provide your own router (or allowed to use a BYO modem-router or router), an NBN connection device should be provided once you sign up. This may be sent to you with self-installation steps or installed by an NBN technician, but your new provider will be able to talk you through the process. Once you have the necessary NBN equipment installed in your home (and potentially outside your home, depending on the technology type), you’re ready to get online with your new NBN connection. Next up is the NBN, which starts with the NBN connection box (effectively, an NBN modem connection) or NBN-compatible modem-router. This bit of networking equipment is critical for sending and receiving data on the NBN. From here, the NBN is the network that connects your local area to a Point of Interconnect (or PoI for short), which is where the NBN ends and connects to provider networks. Providers use their own networks or lease network bandwidth from providers that own these networks to then connect to the internet at large, nationally and internationally. Data flows back and forth across your provider’s network, NBN and your home network to send information to and from the connected devices in your home. Your provider may have a page dedicated to network outages, which is worth checking if you have NBN connection problems (check from a smartphone with mobile reception and WiFi disabled). Alternatively, visit NBN Co’s network outages page and enter your address to see current or future planned outages for your area. Note that NBN Co and providers tend to perform planned maintenance in the wee hours of the morning to minimise the impact of an outage.
