Do I need a technician to set up my MATE nbn home internet?
For most people, your home may have already been connected to the nbn in Canberra. On these occasions, we can transfer the service, which can sometimes take as little as a few hours and up to 3 days.
If you need to be connected, nbn technicians will do all the work — you’ll just need to be home when they perform the job. To get started, please contact our team on 13 14 13 to schedule a time that best works for your schedule.
Can I upgrade my connection to FTTP?
Yes, however, only selected areas are currently included in the rollout of FTTP (fibre-to-the-premises) upgrades. Contact our team on 13 14 13 to confirm whether your address is eligible to be upgraded for free.
