National technology mix
| Technology | Share |
|---|---|
| FTTP (full fibre) | 36.3% |
| FTTN (copper, node) | 21.7% |
| HFC (cable) | 19.9% |
| Fixed wireless | 6.3% |
| FTTC (curb) | 6.5% |
| FTTB (building) | 4.4% |
| Satellite | 1.8% |
Full fibre (FTTP) share, by state
| State | FTTP share |
|---|---|
| NT | 71.4% |
| TAS | 55.9% |
| WA | 39.8% |
| VIC | 37.7% |
| ACT | 37.7% |
| QLD | 34.4% |
| NSW | 33.9% |
| SA | 31.5% |
The ACT's high FTTN share (53.4%, the nation's highest) sits oddly alongside decent FTTP coverage, a legacy of Canberra's early, node-heavy original rollout that pre-dates the Fibre Connect upgrade programme.

Our take
If you're on FTTN in one of the suburbs above, you're not alone, and you're also a strong candidate for a free upgrade under NBN Co's Fibre Connect programme. It's worth checking your eligibility directly with NBN Co rather than assuming you're stuck on copper indefinitely.
