How it works
A fibre cable connects directly to your property and terminates in an nbn® connection box, which then connects to your router for Wi‑Fi and wired devices.
Technology type
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) explained
FTTP is the highest-performing nbn® access technology. Fibre runs all the way to your home, delivering fast, stable speeds with minimal signal loss. It’s ideal for large households, heavy streaming, and home offices that rely on dependable uploads.
Typical performance
Fibre delivers consistently low latency and high speeds. Performance is mostly influenced by your plan tier and the quality of your in-home Wi‑Fi network.
Best suited for
Busy households, remote workers, gamers, and anyone who needs reliable speed during peak hours.
What affects speed and latency
- Plan speed tier and peak-time network congestion.
- Wi‑Fi coverage, router placement, and number of connected devices.
- Device capability (older devices may not reach top speeds).
- Wired vs wireless connections inside the home.
Common troubleshooting tips
- Reboot your router and nbn® connection box if speeds drop.
- Use Ethernet for high-demand devices like TVs or gaming consoles.
- Place your router in a central, open location for better Wi‑Fi coverage.
- Check for background downloads that may be using bandwidth.
