Can I upgrade my nbn™ technology to Fibre to the Premises?
Is it really possible?
Good question! As the nbn™ rollout is still underway it could be a lengthy process or it may not be possible or depending on your area.
Apply through the Technology Choice Program . Keep in mind application and additional fees apply to cover the costs associated with that change of technology and the costs can vary greatly.
If possible is it worth the cost?
If you run a busy online dependant business from home or an office then perhaps the answer is yes.
However you really have to weigh up if the potential gain in speed will noticeably improve your online experience.
Most homes and small businesses can operated very effectively on the download and upload speeds of the 2nd highest speed tier the 50/20. Unless, that is, your provider and their backhaul has high contention rates!
Before I try change is there anything I can do to optimise my current connection?
First chat to your provider for advice. Check with them that you are on the highest speed tier your current nbn™ technology will support. If not then upgrade and see how it goes for a period.
