Aussie suburbs that could eventually upgrade to NBN 1000 speed tier announced

NBN Co has today announced that over a million Australian homes will be getting upgrades by 2023 that will allow them to sign up for the ultrafast NBN speed tiers, offering up to 1Gbps download speed in the case of NBN 1000.

This means that eligible premises will be able to upgrade their existing fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) technology to a more capable fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connection, bypassing any existing copper and its associated congestion in doing so.

Some fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) connections may also get the same FTTP upgrade treatment, but NBN Co has proposed that "customers living or working in premises currently served by this technology will need to order a plan based on wholesale speed tiers of 250/25 Mbps or higher to qualify for a full fibre upgrade".

Who's eligible?

At present, there's no way to check whether your specific address is eligible for the upgrade – NBN Co states that the 'check your address' tool found on its homepage will be updated to provide such information "by November 2021".

The wholesaler is also "currently engaged in consultation with internet retailers" to figure out how to best let eligible customers know of their potential upgrade, so it may take a while, but you'll most likely be notified by your telco when it happens.

In the meantime, you can view the full list of suburbs that will be seeing the upgrade below, including previously announced areas.
