Eventually, yes – switching to the nbn is unavoidable for most people. That’s because older fixed-line internet services, like ADSL and cable, are being phased out as part of Australia’s national broadband upgrade.
Once the nbn network is available at your address, you typically have up to 18 months to move your services over before your current landline and internet are disconnected.
💡 Tip: Not all homes and businesses will be disconnected automatically, but if you rely on a landline phone or traditional internet, it’s safest to plan ahead and switch in time to avoid losing service.
