What Is NBN Accelerate Great? Australia’s Internet Just Got a Whole Lot Faster

Categories: Insights

The future of faster internet has arrived. NBN Accelerate Great is a national initiative designed to give Australians access to dramatically faster NBN speeds. In some cases, users could see speeds up to 10 times faster than their current plans, with the rollout beginning on 15 September 2025.

Whether you run a business that relies on cloud platforms or you are tired of buffering at home, this upgrade could transform the way you work, stream and connect.

What Is NBN Accelerate Great?

NBN Accelerate Great is a government-supported upgrade program led by NBN Co. The initiative aims to increase the wholesale speeds available to homes and businesses connected through Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) networks.

As a result, millions of Australians can access faster internet speeds without necessarily paying more. If you are already connected to eligible fibre infrastructure, you may be able to upgrade at no additional cost, depending on your plan and provider.

When Did the Upgrade Launch?

The rollout officially began on 15 September 2025, with early access available through selected Retail Service Providers, including FibreMax.

Since then, eligible customers have been able to access faster speed tiers designed to support everything from busy households and home offices to data-intensive business operations.

Who Is Eligible?

Your eligibility depends on the NBN technology available at your address.

  • FTTP: Eligible customers can access the higher-speed tiers available for their address.
  • HFC: Eligible customers can also access selected higher-speed services.
  • FTTN/FTTC: You may need an infrastructure upgrade before accessing certain faster plans.

The newer hardware is:

  • Smaller and more streamlined

If your connection requires a hardware upgrade, FibreMax can advise you during the address-check process.
