FAQ's nbnÂŽ Plans
We tackle some key questions about the nbnÂŽnetwork, covering plans based on wholesale speed tiers, service providers, data, device compatibility, and switch-off dates.
First and foremost, itâs important to note that  nbnÂŽ is a wholesale broadband provider.
We offer  nbnÂŽ network plans to Retail Service Providers (RSPs), which means we donât sell directly to the end user.
Our customers are the RSPs, who in turn sell plans on to their customers (consumers and businesses), also known as the âend userâ.
Itâs up to the end user to choose an RSP plan that best suits their needs.
End user online experiences, including broadband speed and capacity achieved on the  nbnŽ network, is in part determined by their preferred RSP and chosen plan.
While the  nbnÂŽ network plays an important role in Australiaâs internet infrastructure, it is just one step in the connectivity chain when it comes to overall internet speed and performance.
The network technology that a certain premises has access to may affect what plans based on wholesale speed tiers are available.
It is recommended end users ask their RSP what technology they have access to, and what plans are available at their address.
Another consideration is hardware within the home. Modems, routers or wireless networking equipment may also impact connection speeds.
Â
Vocal offers a range of plans to choose from, varying in both speed and monthly download allowance.
A plan based on one of the higher wholesale speed tiers can mean that a single online task, such as a file download, is accomplished more quickly than on a plan based on a lower wholesale speed tier. It can also mean more devices may be used concurrently on a home network before there is a noticeable drop in online experience.
End users who are unsure as to which plan based on an  nbnŽ wholesale speed tier might best suit their home can speak to their preferred RSP about their usage and needs.
Read these  nbnŽ blog posts for an idea of data-usage expectations for streaming music, streaming video, and online gaming.
Â
The  nbnÂŽ network utilises a Multi Technology Mix model, made up of fixed line, Fixed Wireless (FW), and Sky Musterâ˘Â satellite connections.
Fixed line connections use a physical line that connects directly to a premises. They include Fibre-to-the-Node (FTTN), Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB), and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC). In the near future, they will be joined by Fibre-to-the-Curb (FTTC).
Fixed Wireless and Sky Muster services are predominantly used in areas where homes and businesses are geographically spread out.
Which RSPs are available at a given premises is partly dependent on the area and what nbnÂŽ technology is available.
Keep in mind that itâs ultimately up to RSPs to decide in which areas they want to operate, based on their own internal business decisions.
Â
The rollout of the  nbnŽ network will involve new technologies and some existing devices may not be compatible with these at all times.
Itâs important to check your address to find out when the nbnÂŽ network is coming to you and talk to your device provider to understand the compatibility of your existing devices with the new network. Your provider can help minimize a break in service as your area is switched to the  nbnÂŽ network.
Equipment connected over the nbnŽ network will not work during a power blackout. Click here for more information about how each technology used in the  nbnŽ Multi Technology Mix (MTM) is affected by power loss.
FTTN and FTTB require a VDSL2-compatible modem. This VDSL2-compatible modem should be supplied by your RSP when you sign up to a plan. It is not supplied by  nbnŽ.
If you already have a modem you wish to use, check with your device provider to ensure itâs VDSL2 compatible. An ADSL2+ modem will not necessarily work.
As for non-fixed-line services, Fixed Wireless uses an  nbnŽ connection box, and Sky Muster⢠uses an  nbn-supplied modem.
Just like with the connection boxes for fixed line  nbnŽ connections, these networking devices must be installed by an approved  nbnŽ installer or service provider.
Once a compatible  nbnÂŽ ready networking device is installed and your services are activated, other connected devices â routers, computers, smart TVs, game consoles, smartphones, tablets, etc. â should be able to connect.
This is based on the assumption that the connected technology within a premises isnât outdated.
The  nbnŽ network rollout uses new technologies that may not always be compatible with some existing connected devices.
If in doubt, end users can check with the device provider or RSP for more information.
Â
When a premises is made ready for service (RFS), its residents will be notified.
At this stage, end users are able to contact their preferred RSP to connect to the  nbnŽ network.
For services provided over most of the existing landline networks, thereâs a switch-off date once an area has been upgraded to the  nbnÂŽ network^
The switch-off date is determined by the area and when it received, or will receive, access to the  nbnŽ network.
In some cases, such as in areas connected to Fixed Wireless and satellite  nbnŽ services, there may be no switch-off date for existing landline and ADSL services^
The switch-off timeframe for affected fixed line technologies is usually around 18 months after residents of an upgraded area have been notified about the  nbnÂŽ networkâs availability^
After the switch-off date, landline phone and internet services over most of the existing landline networks will need to have been moved to the nbnÂŽ network, but once again this can be dependent on location and technology.^ Residents of RFS premises will be notified of what is required of them and within what timeframe.
While residents will receive reminders about the switch-off date, switching in advance is recommended, as it may take time for changeover requests to come into effect.
Moving from existing technologies to the  nbnŽ network is not an automated process.
Interested end users will need to contact their preferred RSP to discuss information on how they might move across to the  nbnŽ network.
The  nbnŽ network rollout includes new access technologies that may be incompatible with some existing devices and technologies.
These devices may be impacted by the nbnŽ network rollout:
- Medical alarm, auto-dialler, or emergency call button#
- Security alarm
- EFTPOS or health-claim terminal
- Monitored fire alarm
- Lift emergency phone
- Fax and teletypewriter devices
Talk with your device provider about device compatibility to help minimise a break in service once your area has switched to the  nbnŽ network^
Â
If you are connected to  nbnŽ via fibre to the node (FTTN) or fibre to the basement (FTTB) you need a VDSL2 compatible modem. As long as your modem is compatible it should work, if not your service provider should provide one.
If your  nbnŽ connection is fibre to the premises (FTTP) where the fibre runs all the way to your house comes with an nbnŽ NTD which is a box mounted on the wall and all you need in this case is a wireless router.
For Fixed Wireless where you have a transmitter installed on your house or roof that points at a transmission tower this also comes with an nbnŽ NTD and all you need is a wireless router.
When you talk to the service provider let them know your needs and they should be able to recommend the correct modem and/or router.
Note that some suppliers will not provide tech support if you don’t use one of their certified modems/routers.
Â
Voice services on  nbnÂŽ are provided via the internet. The main difference is that the signal is digital rather than the old service which is analogue. Â
If you have an existing analogue phone, in most cases it should continue to work on  nbnŽ Fibre connections by just plugging it in to the voice port (marked UNI-V) on the modem or  nbnŽ box. Your service provider should be able to advise you when you are signing up for a plan if additional equipment is required to connect your phone.
Note that some older landline telephone handsets (such as a dial/rotary phone), back-to-base alarm systems, personal response systems (medical alert/emergency call systems) and fax machines may not work over the  nbnŽ. You can check with the manufacturer to see if they are compatible.
The other options is a VoIP phone which plugs into the data port (marked UNI-D) port on the back of the modem or  nbnŽ box. For these services the service provider will typically provide you with a residential gateway or VoIP phone.
If you are connected via FTTN, FTTB, or HFC your phone service will not work in the event of a power failure. You should consider having another means of making calls in the case of an emergency, like a mobile phone.
Â
It depends on the type of connection and the equipment you are using. Since  nbnÂŽ voice services are delivered via the internet and use an  nbnÂŽ box or modem/router which are mains powered, they will only work if they are connected to a back up power supply.Â
If you have a FTTP connection you can get a back up battery unit as part of the service which means that you may be able to continue to use the phone in the event of a power outage.Â
For other connection types, if you require a landline to be active at all time, for example if you are likely to need your voice services in an emergency you should consider a back up such as a mobile phone.  Â
If this is important, when you sign up for a new service ask the provider what options are available to you.
Â
Access to the  nbnŽ network is already available to one-third of Australians. By mid-2017, the rollout will be halfway complete. By 2018, the network rollout is scheduled to be three-quarters complete.
The  nbnŽ network rollout is scheduled to be completed by 2020. Contact nbn for additional information.
Contact your preferred RSP for information about plans, pricing, and ordering services over the  nbnŽ network.
Additionally, contact your preferred RSP for enquiries about installation and activation, as well as ongoing support and troubleshooting.
Check your address to see if you can connect to the  nbnŽ network.

# The  nbnÂŽ network will replace most of the existing landline phone and internet networks. It also involves new technologies, which some existing devices may not be compatible with. That means, if you have a medical alarm it’s important that you register it with  nbnÂŽ and call your medical alarm provider for advice and to find out if your service will work on the  nbnÂŽ network. Make sure you do this well before your existing landline phone network is disconnected. Registering your alarm with nbnÂŽ is free and helps us identify homes where support may be needed to help minimise a break in services. To register, visit: nbn.com.au/medicalregister or call 1800 227 300, 9am to 5pm, AEST Monday to Friday.
