What is NBN FTTP (Fibre to the Premises)?

In the event of a power outage, your FTTP connection may be disrupted, as the equipment needed for FTTP, such as the nbn connection box and Power Supply Unit, requires electricity to function. To stay connected during power outages, consider investing in an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to provide temporary backup power for your equipment.

No, you don’t need a modem if you have FTTP. Your nbn connection box acts as a modem, so you only need a router.

No, you do not require a phone line for a FTTP nbn connection. This is because FTTP utilises fibre optic cables, not the existing copper network, to connect your home or business to the nbn.

Yes, you will require an nbn connection box installed as part of your FTTP connection. This box is connected to the nbn utility box, which is installed outside your home.

The FTTP installation is simple whether you’re having it installed in your home or business. First, a technician will visit your premises to assess the property. A second appointment will then be made for a technician to come to your property and install the necessary equipment inside and outside your premises. After the installation is complete, you will be ready to connect to the nbn.

FTTN stands for Fibre to the Node. FTTN technology connects fibre optic cable to the node closest to your premises. Then, it uses the existing copper network to connect to your premises through a telephone wall socket. Because a mix of copper cables and fibre optic cables are used, FTTN has some downsides. The most notable advantages of FTTP compared to FTTN include:

• FTTN speeds can reach a maximum of 100Mbps, but only if the premises are located close enough to the node. FTTP speeds can reach up to 1Gbps in some areas.
• Customers who opt for FTTN need to use a VDSL2 compatible modem.
• FTTP is considered superior to FTTN due to the use of fibre optic cables and its increased bandwidth capacity. Some homes and businesses can already choose to upgrade from FTTN to FTTP.

FTTC stands for Fibre to the Curb. This form of nbn technology involves extending fibre close to your premises using a small Distribution Point Unit (DPU) and then using the existing copper network to connect your premises to the nbn. While FTTP and FTTC both use fibre optic technology, FTTP does have some advantages over FTTC:

• FTTP provides faster speeds, with potential gigabit speeds, compared to FTTC’s maximum speed of around 100 Mbps.
• FTTP offers greater reliability since the fibre optic cable runs directly to your home, whereas FTTC uses existing copper lines for the final connection.
• FTTP is considered more future-proof due to its capacity to support higher bandwidth demands.

That being said, FTTC is still a significant improvement over older connection types and may be more readily available in some areas.

FTTP connections offer some of the fastest speeds available on the national broadband network. Depending on your internet provider and the plan you choose, you may experience download speeds of up to 1000Mbps (1Gbps) and upload speeds of up to 50Mbps. These speeds enable smooth streaming, gaming, and browsing experiences for multiple devices simultaneously.

MATE offers a variety of high-speed nbn plans with unlimited data, catering to different needs and household sizes. To choose the best plan for your needs, consider the number of people in your household, your internet usage habits, and your budget. Here’s a summary of MATE’s nbn plans:

• Crikey nbn 25/10: Designed for a small household of 1–4 individuals, Crikey provides typical busy period download speeds of 25Mbps. This plan is suitable for light internet activities such as browsing, engaging on social media, and streaming HD content on a single device.
• Ripper nbn 50/20: Tailored for a medium-sized household of up to 6 individuals, our Ripper plan offers average evening speeds of 48Mbps. With increased capacity, this plan supports streaming, gaming, and all-around internet usage.
• No Worries nbn 100/20: Boasting typical evening speeds of 95Mbps, No Worries is meant for larger households with over 6 users. This package is excellent for online gaming, streaming three HD videos simultaneously or a single 4K video, along with routine internet tasks like browsing, emailing, and music streaming.
• You Beaut nbn 100/40: Comparable to the No Worries 100/20 plan, but with double the potential upload speed (up to 40Mbps instead of 20Mbps), this package is ideal for those who regularly upload content to platforms such as YouTube and social media.
• Fair Dinkum nbn 250/25: Geared towards heavy internet users, with average evening speeds of 202Mbps, this plan covers all basic internet needs and supports simultaneous 4K video streaming and high upload speeds for seamless video calls.
