Internet in Australian Capital Territory

NBN technology available in ACT includes FTTP, FTTN, and fixed wireless. Canberra has a mix of FTTP in newer suburbs and FTTN in older established areas. The Fibre Connect upgrade programme is active in the ACT.

ISPs available in ACT

Major internet service providers operating in ACT include Aussie Broadband, Telstra, TPG, Superloop, Tangerine, iiNet, and others.

All NBN retailers sell access to the same physical network, so the speed your connection can deliver is determined by your NBN technology type, not your ISP. The differences between ISPs are pricing, peak-hour congestion management, and customer support quality. The ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia report is the best independent source for comparing actual peak-hour speeds across providers.

Our take on internet in ACT

The ACT is compact and well-served by the NBN. Most addresses in Canberra have either FTTP or FTTN, with the Fibre Connect programme upgrading eligible FTTN addresses to full fibre at no cost. ISP competition is healthy. For Canberra households, NBN 50 is sufficient for most needs; NBN 100 is worth the upgrade for work-from-home households running video calls alongside other internet use, given Canberra's high proportion of remote government workers.

Check your NBN technology type

Your NBN technology type determines the maximum speed available at your address. You can check your technology at the NBN Co address checker. For a detailed explanation of what each technology type means for your speeds, see our NBN speed tiers guide.

The free FTTP upgrade

If your address is on FTTN (fibre to the node) or FTTC (fibre to the curb), you may be eligible for a free upgrade to full FTTP (fibre to the premises) under NBN Co's Fibre Connect programme. This upgrade dramatically improves available speeds and reliability. Check with your ISP or NBN Co for eligibility in ACT.
