The NBN is getting its biggest speed boost ever, and Central Coast homes and businesses are set to benefit. But to truly unlock these new speeds, you’ll want to make sure your setup is ready. Here’s what’s changing, why it matters, and how Prodigies can help you get the most out of your upgraded connection.
What’s Happening with the NBN?
From September 2025, millions of Australian homes and businesses—including those on the Central Coast—are eligible for dramatically faster NBN speeds. Under the Accelerate Great program, NBN Co has rolled out new wholesale speed tiers for Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connections:
- NBN 100 → NBN 500: Up to 500 Mbps download, 50 Mbps upload (5x faster downloads!)
- NBN 250 → NBN 750: Up to 750 Mbps download, 50 Mbps upload
- NBN 1000: Now up to 100 Mbps upload
- NBN 2000: New top-tier plan, up to 2,000 Mbps download (FTTP/HFC)
Most eligible customers will receive these upgrades automatically, but you may need to order a faster plan or request a free FTTP upgrade if you’re on FTTN or FTTC. By the end of 2025, over five million addresses will be able to upgrade to FTTP for free.
Why Upgrade? The Benefits for Homes & Businesses
- Faster downloads and uploads for streaming, gaming, cloud backups, and large file transfers.
- More devices, less lag: The average home now has 25+ connected devices, and that’s only growing.
- Better remote work and video calls: No more buffering or dropouts during meetings.
- Future-proofing: As new tech and smart devices emerge, you’ll be ready.
For businesses, the benefits are even greater:
- Cloud applications and collaboration run smoother.
- Video conferencing is seamless.
- Business-grade plans offer enhanced reliability, priority support, and tailored speed options (including symmetrical speeds for enterprise needs).
Is Your Home or Office Ready for the New Speeds?
Here’s the catch: To actually experience these new speeds, your modem/router and WiFi setup need to be up to scratch. Many older routers simply can’t handle 500 Mbps or more, especially over WiFi.
What You Need for Each Speed Tier
- NBN 500: At least a Wi-Fi 6 router (AX1800 or faster)
- NBN 750/1000: Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 router (AX3000/BE3000 or faster)
- NBN 2000: Wi-Fi 7 router (BE11000 or higher), plus a router with a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port for wired connections
