nbn® Fibre to the Premises

What is nbn® Fibre to the Premises?

Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is an nbn® Fixed Line technology where fibre runs directly to the premises.

It is one of several nbn® Fixed Line technologies, alongside Fibre to the Building (FTTB), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC), Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC). These technologies differ in how the nbn® Fixed Line connection reaches the premises. With FTTP, fibre runs to the property.

Can I get FTTP at my address?

FTTP availability is determined at the premises level rather than by suburb or postcode. Nearby properties can have different nbn® technology types, so your exact address is the best place to start.

The Skymesh address checker shows the nbn® technology type available at your property, the Skymesh plans you can order and whether a technology upgrade may be available. For a broader explanation of the network and its technology types, see our nbn® Australia guide. 

Properties connected at different stages of the rollout, a redeveloped block and a newer estate can each end up on a different technology type.

Having trouble finding your address? Contact our team and we’ll raise a free address query with nbn®. Sometimes nbn® has a property listed under a different name or may not have a record of it yet. We can help get the address added so you can order an nbn® service.

If you want to learn more about upgrades, our nbn® FTTP upgrade guide explains the current process and eligibility considerations.

Which nbn® connection types are available in Australia, and can you choose one?

You do not choose the technology type. nbn® determines and allocates it at each premises, so the practical starting point is to check what your address can get. Fixed Line covers FTTP, FTTB, FTTC, FTTN and HFC; beyond the Fixed Line footprint an address may be served by Fixed Wireless, and beyond tower coverage by Satellite.

If FTTP is available, see our FTTP plans and FTTP speed guide for current information. If you are weighing up plan features more broadly, our compare internet guide explains factors worth considering. If data allowance is part of your decision, you can also read more about unlimited internet plans.
