Full Fiber's Advantages
Full fiber connectivity enables users to access nbn's fastest residential plan, offering speeds up to 18 times faster than the average home broadband connection. According to nbn, this is particularly advantageous for large households, gamers, and individuals working remotely.
By the end of 2025, nbn aims to extend this high-speed fiber network to over 10 million Australian premises, catering to the increasing demand for superior connectivity. With this more Australians will be able to order nbn's fastest residential fixed internet plan.

NBN's Vision
nbn highlighted the significance of full fiber, emphasising its reliability, speed, and adaptability to future technological advancements. "The average Australian home now has more than 21 connected devices - despite that surge in data, two out of three Australians connected to nbn haven't changed their plans within the last three years," said the company.
"An extra 57,248 kilometres of fibre was rolled out across the country this year as part of nbn's fibre upgrades currently underway - that's enough fibre to span from Sydney to New York and back almost twice," the release noted.
