2000 Canberra homes can switch to faster NBN by Christmas
About 4000 Canberra households can upgrade to full-fibre NBN by Christmas, up to 18 times faster than copper.
About 2000 homes can now switch from ageing copper connections to full-fibre NBN technology, with another 2000 expected to become eligible by Christmas. Holt, Narrabundah and Griffith are among the first suburbs getting the upgrade.
The move from fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) to fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) is part of a wider ACT investment to reach around 97,000 homes by 2030. Full-fibre connections deliver speeds up to 18 times faster than copper and are generally more reliable.
