Internet Plans for Central Coast

What internet plans can you get on the Central Coast?

The internet plans available at your Central Coast address depend largely on the nbn® connection type available at your property. nbn® determines the technology serving each premises, which can affect the plans and speeds you may be able to order.

Availability can vary between properties, even within the same suburb or street, so it’s best to check your exact address to see the Skymesh connection types and plans available to you.

What nbn® connection types can you get on the Central Coast?

Your address will generally use one of three nbn® technology types: Fixed Line, Fixed Wireless or Satellite.

Fixed Line includes several nbn® technology types, depending on how the network connects to your premises:

• FTTP (fibre to the premises): fibre runs all the way to the premises.
• FTTB (fibre to the building): fibre runs to the communications room in an apartment or unit building.
• FTTC (fibre to the curb): fibre runs to a pit near the property boundary.
• FTTN (fibre to the node): fibre runs to a nearby street cabinet, then uses existing copper wiring to the home.
• HFC (hybrid fibre coaxial): uses the existing coaxial cable network for the final connection to the property.

For addresses outside the Fixed Line footprint, Fixed Wireless connects through a nearby nbn® tower. Properties beyond tower coverage may be serviced by Sky Muster® Plus satellite. Skymesh can also help Sky Muster® customers move to Amazon Leo once it becomes available.

The plan you choose and the technology available at your address are related, but they’re not quite the same thing. Our nbn® services page outlines the options available across the different technology types.

nbn® continues to upgrade parts of its network, so a Central Coast address checked in the past may now have access to a different technology type. Our page on upgrading to fibre explains eligibility and what’s involved in the nbn® fibre upgrade process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do internet providers on the Central Coast offer unlimited data plans?

Skymesh plans are unlimited, subject to the fair use policy set by nbn®. Plan pages set out the terms that apply to each service. Satellite plans are structured differently from Fixed Line plans, so check the plans available for the connection type at your address.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my internet plan easily?

Skymesh customers can request a plan change at any time on Fibre, Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster® Plus, with no administration fee to request the change.

• For Fibre, plan changes can be requested at any time. 
• For Fixed Wireless, if a higher-speed plan requires an upgrade to your nbn® connection equipment (NTD), the new plan can’t be used until that upgrade is complete. 
• For Sky Muster® Plus, you can request a plan change at any time, with the change taking effect on your next billing day.

If you’re unsure which plans are available on your current connection, our team can confirm your options.

Who is the best internet provider on the Central Coast?

There isn’t one internet provider that will suit every address or household.

Start by checking what’s available at your address, then consider the plan terms, setup costs, equipment and level of support that matter to you.

At Skymesh, plans offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and no demand surcharges, with support available 7 days a week, including public holidays. Terms, conditions, and eligibility apply.

Do I need a new modem for nbn® at my Central Coast address?

You’ll need a Wi-Fi router to connect your devices to your Skymesh service. The nbn® connection box, known as the Network Termination Device (NTD), is supplied by nbn®.

If you already have a router, you may be able to keep using it. Whether you need a new one generally depends on the age and capability of your router and the speed of the plan you choose, rather than the nbn® technology type at your address.

As a general guide, a router more than five years old may use older Wi-Fi standards and may not support the speed, security or performance of newer plans.

If you’re unsure whether your current equipment is suitable, check with Skymesh support before signing up. Skymesh can also supply a compatible Wi-Fi router for an additional cost.

What should I do before switching internet providers on the Central Coast?

Before switching, check the details of the plan you’re moving to, confirm that any router you plan to keep is compatible, and check when your existing service will end so you can manage the changeover.

If you’re switching to Skymesh, our team can help you understand the process and what you’ll need to get connected.
