Internet in Tasmania
NBN technology available in TAS includes Predominantly FTTP. Tasmania was the first state to receive the NBN and has the highest FTTP penetration of any state. Most Tasmanian addresses have fibre to the premises, which supports all speed tiers up to NBN 1000.
ISPs available in TAS
Major internet service providers operating in TAS include Aussie Broadband, Telstra, TPG, 1st Energy (also offers broadband), Launtel (Tasmanian ISP), 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's Measuring Broadband Australia program, which concluded with its 33rd and final report in June 2026, remains the best independent benchmark for comparing peak-hour speeds across providers.
Our take on internet in TAS
Tasmania is the best state for NBN quality. The high FTTP penetration means most addresses can access NBN 1000 if desired, and even budget providers can deliver full tier speeds because there is no copper bottleneck. Launtel, a local Tasmanian ISP, is worth comparing: they offer transparent CVC reporting and competitive pricing. For most households, NBN 50 on FTTP delivers the advertised speed reliably and costs $65 to $80 per month.

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 TAS.
