NBN opens up first suburbs for FttN to FttP upgrade orders

The company responsible for the National Broadband Network has made good on its previous estimate to have fibre to the node (FttN) upgrades available this month.

From today, over 50,000 FttN lines can be upgraded to fibre to the premises (FttP) provided they order a plan of 100Mbps or over.

NBN said it is looking to add 60,000 FttN lines each month, and is targeting 230,000 eligible lines by mid-year, and 600,000 by year end. At the end of 2023, NBN says it will have up to two million premises eligible.

Customers looking to upgrade need to head to NBN’s site to register their interest, and if eligible will be linked out to participating ISPs.
