Many homes and businesses across Lithgow, Wallerawang, and Lidsdale with a nbn Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) connection can now unlock the benefits of Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by upgrading to a full-fibre connection#.
Additionally, many homes and business in Lithgow with a nbn Fibre to the Node (FTTN) can also now unlock the benefits of Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by upgrading to a full-fibre connection#.
Upgrading to full fibre delivers a range of benefits for customers when compared to copper connections, including smoother video calls, enhanced streaming, quicker response times for gaming, and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously – including smart TVs, home security systems, and smart home technology.
To upgrade to full fibre, eligible new and existing customers have to place an order for an eligible high-speed plan (at least 100 Mbps download) through an internet service provider.
To help customers understand and take advantage of this opportunity, the nbn Local team will be visiting Lithgow and Wallerawang from Wednesday 12th March through to Saturday 29th March. During this time, the team will be available to meet with residents and business owners to discuss how they can upgrade from FTTC to FTTP, the benefits of full fibre connectivity, and the steps to access higher speed tiers.
Residents and businesses are encouraged to drop by to learn more about the upgrade process and to discuss eligibility and next steps with nbn representatives. Residents and businesses can also get tailored advice on how full-fibre connectivity can meet their home or business needs.
Fibre to the Premises delivers fibre optic cabling directly to homes and businesses, enabling higher speeds, including access to our nbn Home Ultrafast plan with download speeds close to 1Gbps#. Improved reliability with fibre technology providing a more stable connection, particularly during peak usage periods and future-ready FTTP infrastructure help ensure communities are ready for emerging technologies and growing data demands.
Eligible customers on a Fibre to the Curb can check their upgrade availability and arrange for the upgrade through their preferred retailer service provider#.
“We are pushing fibre deeper, into more cities, towns and communities across regional NSW,” said Head of nbn local NSW, Tom O’Dea.
“Upgrading to full fibre means whether you’re working from home, streaming movies and sport, gaming online, or connecting with loved ones, a fibre upgrade can help make a difference to an online experience, especially when multiple people are online at the same time.” he continued.
“Upgrading to full fibre when it becomes available will mean customers can access faster speed plans when new hyper-fast residential and business products are launched from 14 September, 2025.” Mr O’Dea concluded.
