What is a Fibre Upgrade?
NBN Co’s Fibre Connect initiative is rolling out nbn™ Fibre to eligible Aussie homes with $0 installation (standard installation only). Learn more about the benefits of a Fibre Upgrade with our FAQs.
I live at a rental property, can I still upgrade to nbn® Fibre?
You’ll need the landlord’s permission to upgrade to nbn® Fibre at their premises as it may require work to the property to set up the connection, such as drilling into walls.
We’ve created a customisable letter that you can send to your landlord or property manager. Download the letter template.
Once you have approval, we can proceed with the upgrade.
