Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) plans

Skymesh FTTP internet plans

Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is an nbn® Fixed Line technology where fibre runs directly to the premises. nbn® determines and allocates the technology type available at each premises. Check your address first so you are comparing plans you can actually order at your property.

If nbn® has allocated FTTP to your address, you can compare the Skymesh plans available by household use, speed, price and plan terms.

The plan that may suit your home depends on how your household uses the internet, how many devices are online at once and what’s available at your address.

How do nbn® technology types differ?

The nbn® network uses three main connection types: Fixed Line, Fixed Wireless, and Sky Muster® satellite.

• Fixed Line connection. Uses fibre optic cable to carry the connection towards your premises. nbn® uses a mix of different technologies across Australia. The Fixed Line technology types are Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Building (FTTB), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC), and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC). For the last part of the connection, some Fixed Line technology types use existing copper or coaxial cabling rather than fibre, which can affect the speed of the service.
• Fixed Wireless connection. Uses radio signals and outdoor antennas to connect the premises to the nbn® network.
• Sky Muster® satellite connection. Uses two satellites and a satellite dish installed at your premises to connect you to the nbn® network. Skymesh can also help Sky Muster® customers move to Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) once it becomes available.

Who are FTTP plans best suited for?

If you work from home or run a business that relies on internet connectivity, an FTTP plan may be worth considering. Fibre optic cable runs directly to the premises, without copper or coaxial cabling for the final part of the connection. Depending on what’s available at your address, the plan you choose and your setup, FTTP may suit activities such as file sharing, video conferencing and online gaming. Fibre is widely considered the best performing fixed line technology for both speeds and reliability.

Can I upgrade to FTTP?

Some addresses currently connected using another Fixed Line technology may be eligible for an FTTP upgrade. Eligibility and installation requirements are determined by nbn®, so the process can vary depending on the premises. 

If your address qualifies, the upgrade is generally linked to ordering an eligible plan. nbn® then extends fibre to the premises and installs the required connection equipment, while the existing service will usually remain active until the new connection is ready. 

Our FTTP upgrade guide explains the current process and what to expect at each stage.

How do I check if FTTP is available at my address?

nbn® determines and allocates the technology type available at each premises. Check your address to see the nbn® technology type, Skymesh plans and whether a technology upgrade may be available.

If your address cannot be matched or is listed differently, contact Skymesh. Sometimes nbn® has a property listed under a different name or may not have a record of it yet. We can raise an address query with nbn® at no cost to you and help get the address added so you can order an nbn® service.

Looking for a lower monthly cost?

If keeping the monthly cost down is your priority, see our cheap internet plans and cheap Wi-Fi options, then check your address to see what is available at your place. A lower-priced plan is not automatically the right fit; consider the ongoing price, plan terms and how your household uses the connection.
