With the NBN Accelerate Great program launching on 15 September 2025, millions of Australians will gain access to faster internet speeds — in some cases up to 10x faster than their current plan. But how do you know if your home or business qualifies for the faster NBN upgrade? In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to check your eligibility and what steps to take next so you don’t miss out.
What Is the NBN Accelerate Great Upgrade?
The NBN speed upgrade 2025 is part of NBN Co’s Accelerate Great initiative, which focuses on boosting speeds across Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connections.
According to NBN Co, these upgrades are designed to meet Australia’s growing demand for faster, more reliable broadband. Whether you’re working from home, running a business, or streaming ultra-HD content, Accelerate Great will ensure your connection can keep up.
Step 1: Use FibreMax’s Free Address Check Tool
The easiest way to find out if you qualify for the NBN Accelerate Great speed upgrade is to use the FibreMax Address Checker.
Here’s how:
Enter your street address in the search box.
Our system checks your location against the latest NBN Co upgrade database.
You’ll instantly see whether you qualify for a free fibre upgrade or faster speed tiers.
Who Qualifies for Faster NBN?
You’re most likely eligible if your premises is connected by:
FTTP (Fibre to the Premises): Automatically supports the fastest new speed tiers.
HFC (Hybrid Fibre Coaxial): Eligible for upgrades under the Accelerate Great rollout.
If you’re on FTTN or FTTC, you may need infrastructure upgrades before qualifying. FibreMax can guide you through this process.
What Speeds Are Available with Accelerate Great?
Once you’re eligible, you can access new speed tiers from FibreMax, including:
Home Fast – 500/50 Mbps
Home Superset – 750/50 Mbps
Home Ultrafast – 1000/100 Mbps
Business Hyperfast – up to 2000/500 Mbps

Step 2: Make Sure Your Hardware Is Ready
Even if your premises qualifies, your modem/router setup must be capable of handling higher speeds. NBN Co is also rolling out new fibre termination devices that:
Support speeds up to 8 Gbps
Use less power
Are designed with sustainable materials
