What is the NBN Technology Choice Program?

This is a paid upgrade and is different from the NBN $0 Fibre Upgrade Initiative, which applies to certain locations and plans.

Through this program, you can apply to upgrade from older NBN technologies like Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC), or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) to full-fibre FTTP. The program is designed for customers who want to access higher speeds and better reliability beyond what their existing connection type can offer.

How to Apply for an NBN Technology Choice Upgrade

  1. Check Your Current Technology Type
  2. Get an Estimate
  3. Receive a Formal Quote
    • If you're interested after the estimate, you can request a detailed quote from NBN. This process may take a few weeks and involves an assessment of infrastructure and costs.
  4. Pay for the Upgrade
    • If you accept the quote, you’ll need to pay the full amount upfront before NBN proceeds with the upgrade.
  5. Upgrade Installation
    • Once payment is received, NBN will schedule the upgrade and carry out the necessary works to install FTTP.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of upgrading via the Technology Choice Program varies significantly based on location and complexity. 

Alternative Options

If you're looking for an FTTP upgrade but don't want to pay a high out-of-pocket cost, check if you qualify for the NBN $0 Fibre Upgrade Initiative by:

  • Choosing a high-speed plan (e.g., 100Mbps+)
  • Checking if your area is included in the NBN upgrade rollout

Capti can assist in verifying your eligibility for an upgrade and guide you through the process.
