How good is the internet in Wollongong? What the NBN looks like
Across Wollongong, the NBN dataset classifies 120,154 premises. Which technology you are on matters more than which provider you pick, because the technology limits your speed tiers.
- Fibre to the premises: 62.6%
- Fibre to the building: 0.1%
- Fibre to the node: 37.1%
63% of classified premises are on fibre to the premises and 37% on fibre to the node. Check your own address before choosing a speed tier.

Moving to Wollongong? Getting power and internet connected
Tell your chosen retailer your move-in date a few business days ahead and they arrange the connection with the network. Ask which NBN technology your address has before you pick an internet plan: fibre to the node or fibre to the curb homes can need an installer visit, so book earlier. New builds should confirm with the builder that the meter and NBN connection are ready.
Our take on Wollongong
With Endeavour Energy as the network, the price differences you can act on come from the retailer, not the poles and wires. A 15% discount on the $2,328 reference price saves about $349 a year, so check the supply charge and any conditions, not only the percentage. 63% of Wollongong premises are on fibre to the premises, so on internet the choice is mostly about price and contract terms.
