This street node connects back to the exchange using fibre and acts as the link between the fibre network and the copper that services your premises. The closer the node is to your home, the better your potential speed.
💡 Tip: FTTN does not include an nbn connection box inside your home. Instead, your modem plugs into a standard telephone wall socket.
To connect to the internet using FTTN, you’ll need a VDSL2-compatible modem. You can BYO or choose a modem when signing up with MATE.
