As someone whose home is on the tail end of the NBN rollout, it's been a frustrating wait as the promise of a super fast internet connection that will deal with my needs for next couple of decades, at least, has dwindled to a point upgrade on what I have today. Sure, for many who were on ADSL things are better but the multi-technology mix has delivered a mixed bag when it comes to performance. If you live in Victoria and are still waiting, there's hope. Here's a look at all the suburbs getting an NBN connection this year.
This is the complete 2019 Telstra Wholesale NBN rollout list for Victoria. It includes the suburb, customer service area name and the approximate date that the NBN will be ready for service.
The only thing missing is the type of technology being deployed. You'll need to use the NBN Address tracker tool to find out if you're getting Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Basement (FTTB), Hybrid Fibre-Coaxial (HFC), Fixed Wireless or Long Term Satellite.
Unlimited NBN 100 plans
Here are the Victorian suburbs that will purportedly be getting the NBN this year. We'll be posting all other states and territories in the weeks ahead.
The list is long so your best bet is to hit Ctrl+F and search for your suburb or district. If you don't see your suburb, try our address tracker instead.
