Nearly a year has passed since NBN Co announced that it will provide the main speed promotions via the fixed line. Now we are only seven days after their official launch, with the appointed date to be this Sunday, September 14th.
Whether this is the first time that you learn promotions, or you are following with the latest updates, if you want to take full advantage, there are some things you need to get sorting.
Not only do you need to know the fast layer you want for your family – your choices in new plans are 500 Mbps, 750MB per second or 2000 Mbps – but you also need to obtain the infrastructure and devices needed to support them.
I am still not sure what we are talking about? Allow us to explain everything …
What is all this about promotions?
NBN Co will turn the switch next Sunday, September 14, which led to the launch of the new wave of the speed levels of the plan in this process. This will witness the introduction of a new brand “Hyperfast” layer 2GBPS, along with promotions to the best NBN 100 plans and the best NBN Plans 250. You will receive this speed of 5X and increase 3X speed, respectively.
After activating Sunday, Australians will have a greater option when seeing the fastest NBN plans, with options of 500 MP, 750 Mbps, 1000 Mbps and 2000 Mbps.
It looks good, what is hunting?
There is not necessarily hunting, but there is one strict standard that you need to satisfy to reach new speed levels, and this is the type of connection that you have in your places. More specifically, you must have either fibers to the type of connection (FTTP) or the type of hybrid fiber connection (HFC). If you have anything else, the fibers to Curb/Node (FTTC/N) or fiber to the building (FTTB), you unfortunately will miss.
However, the good news of the FTTC/N buildings is that you are likely to be eligible Free fiber promotion program for NBN Co. If you are eligible and activate it (we cannot think about many reasons that make you not do it), then the technician will come to your buildings to install the upgraded equipment – necessary.
Customers who have a FTTB connection – are usually in apartments – they have no way to the fastest levels ever. Although you cannot get a high -speed NBN plan (the maximum download speed that you can achieve across NBN is 100 MB), you may be in the TPG fiber mesh fingerprint that can reach Gigabt’s unit speeds, or you may find that you can connect via another private network such as Opticommom or Gigacomm.
Opticomm and gigacomm internet plans are set on both, or they have already received, enhance the similar speed to 2000 megabytes per second. You will need to check your favorite provider if you can access it.
I have the correct contact type, anything else?
Perhaps, yes. The presence of the correct contact type at home is only one part of the high -speed NBN plan. Although the installed equipment will bring faster speeds to your home, you will also need to make sure that you have a router that is able to provide the speeds you pay to your devices.
If you are using the same router over the past few years – it may have been provided by your current internet provider – there is a good opportunity to be a little old and will not be prepared for the fastest speeds that come on our way.
You will also discover in our in -depth guide regarding Ideal routers for NBN promotions, you want to search for one, at least support Wi-Fi 6. However, since you likely have more connected devices at home than you realize-think about smart lights, devices, loudspeakers, etc. We recommend searching for a router that supports Wi-Fi 6e or Wi-Fi 7.
The Internet service provider (ISP) He should Provide a compatible router when subscribing to a new plan, but in our experience, this is not always the case. With this, we mean only the Wi-Fi 6 router. As we mentioned, this is a good thing in the end, but the corresponding 6E or 7 router will provide greater future support.
Can I get an upgrade plan today?
Yes, you can! We are eagerly awaiting the full list of plans and prices from myriad Internet service providers to go live, but a few service providers have jumped very early, as they fired 500 Mbps and 750 Mbps a second a few months ago. Multi-Gigabit NBN 2000 plans still cannot be found anywhere, but this is because it already requires NBN to turn the key.
Extel is a prominent option in our opinion with the NBN 500 plan. Telco has dropped all other plan options, so unless you have the necessary infrastructure in your home, you cannot subscribe to the provider.
SPINTEL is the only provider that offers a 750 -megapixel plan today – we sign of course that this changes within a week – making it your only choice for this specified speed.
If these promoted speeds look like something you want to be part of it, but you are no You have the necessary equipment, our recommendation, at the present time, will eventually stop stopping another week and know what other service providers impose on their plans.
You can, of course, choose to subscribe to Extetel or SPINTEL mentioned above to visit your technician as soon as possible. If you are happy to wait, you can find that the cheapest plans will be available.
