How fast can I get connected to nbn?

nbn connection

Great question – and one we get asked a lot!

The time it takes to get connected depends on how nbn is delivered to your address and whether your place has been connected before.

If your address has never had nbn before:
It usually takes between 9 to 19 business days to get connected. This can vary depending on technician availability, whether a connection box needs to be installed, or if your home is already nbn-ready.

If your address has had nbn before:
You could be online in as little as 15 minutes – but typically it takes 1 to 3 business days.

💡 Tip: We’ll always apply for the next available technician appointment unless you’ve asked us for something different.

Connection times can also depend on:

  • The type of nbn technology at your address
  • The availability of nbn equipment
  • Local demand for technician appointments
