Set up my profile →How to do it
- 1Check your nbn connection type (FTTP, HFC, FTTC, FTTN, FTTB, or Fixed Wireless) on the nbn website or your provider's account.
- 2If the new speed doesn't appear, power-cycle your router: turn it off, wait 5 minutes, then turn it back on.
- 3If you have QoS or upload shaping enabled on your router, update or disable those settings to allow the higher upload speed.
- 4Run a speed test (e.g., Ookla Speedtest) to confirm your new upload speeds.
Conditions
- Only for nbn fixed line connections; not for mobile or satellite nbn.
- Actual increase depends on your nbn technology and plan, up to 15% (some plans like FTTC 50/20 may get 15%).
- Router restart or QoS adjustment may be required.
- Some users may not see the update until tomorrow, depending on the provider.
Risks
- NoteNo end date given. The price or offer could end at any time.
- Notenbn hasn't posted an official announcement yet; info based on providers (Leaptel, Neptune Internet).
