The nbn™, short for the National Broadband Network, is a nationwide project in Australia aimed at providing residential homes and businesses with reliable, high-speed internet access. It's a government initiative designed to upgrade Australia’s existing telecommunications infrastructure to a more modern, efficient network.
The nbn™ employs a mix of technology types to deliver its services, including fibre to the premises (FTTP), fibre to the node (FTTN), fibre to the curb (FTTC), hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC), fixed wireless, and satellite connections, ensuring widespread coverage and connectivity options to meet different geographic and service level needs.
NBN Co will inform you when your home connects through various technologies, such as:
- Fiber-to-the-node (FTTN),
- Fiber-to-the-basement (FTTB),
- Fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC),
- Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP),
- Fixed Wireless,
- Satellite technology.
From 1st April 2016, NBN Co introduced a New Development Charge of $300 GST inclusive for new area subscribers.
For your FTTN/B VDSL connection, a modem router meeting nbn™ VDSL2 equipment standards is required. NEX Telecom ensures all its modem routers are nbn™ compliant and registered.
Using nbn™ compliant and registered modem routers is crucial because if your VDSL2 modem router isn't recognized as compliant by nbn™, they might be hesitant to address or fix any issues with your service. In some cases, non-compliant equipment could lead to your service being put on a Repair Profile or, worse, suspended if it's found to be interfering with other services. Therefore, it's essential that your modem not only supports VDSL2 but also includes and activates nbn™ specific features.
We strongly recommend opting for our nbn™ approved and certified VDSL2 modem routers to ensure uninterrupted network service and receive our complete support.
CG-NAT shares one public IP address among multiple customer services, letting internet providers extend their IPv4 address pool.
Facing IPv4 address exhaustion, NEX Telecom adopts CG-NAT to share scarce IPv4 resources until IPv6 is fully implemented efficiently.
CG-NAT has minimal impact on new NEX Telecom customers. Features like remote device access and server connectivity may require a static IPv4 address, which existing customers keep.
