50,000 FTTN premises can now request a free upgrade to FTTP NBN

NBN Co today announced that over 50,000 Fibre to the Node (FTTN) premises can now request a free upgrade to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP). To trigger an upgrade to fibre, a FTTN customer simply needs to order a plan on one of the NBN's three highest speed tiers: NBN 100, NBN 250, or NBN 1000. NBN Co hasn't detailed how long individual upgrades will take after they're requested. 

Premises in the following towns, cities, and suburbs are eligible for the fast wave of upgrades to FTTP:
