Contrary to common misconception, there is more than one type of NBN connection. Some NBN connections are more effective than others, but unfortunately, we don’t get to choose which one we get. Different connections are allocated to different areas; this is what has been referred to as the NBN Lottery . The more common NBN connections found in Brisbane are…
. FTTP, which stands for “Fibre to the Premises”. The name refers to the fibre-optic cabling that is connected directly to your home or office. It is also referred to as FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home). Fibre to the Premises is generally considered one of the better NBN connections, as the directness of its data delivery results in optimal NBN speeds. Fibre to the Premises costs will vary on the provider you go with and the speed tier you select.
. Fixed Wireless, which is a type of NBN connection most commonly used in rural locations that do not have ready access to any of the above fixed line connections. Typically, Fixed Wireless data is transmitted from an NBN Fixed Wireless tower into an outdoor antenna that has been installed in or around your home by an NBN technician, which then transmits the data into your home modem.
. FTTC, which stands for “Fibre to the Curb”. It is so named because its fibre connection is connected through a Distribution Point Unity (or DPU) that is typically situated in a street curb close to your premises, although it is often alternatively installed within a pit.
. FTTB, which stands for “Fibre to the Building”, or sometimes “Fibre to the Basement”. It is generally what’s used in communal buildings such as apartment complexes, retirement homes, etcetera. The speed of Fibre to the Basement is often on par with that of Fibre to the Curb.
. FTTN, which stands for “Fibre to the Node”. This name alludes to a local node that delivers the data; a fibre optic cable runs from your telephone exchange to the node using previously existing copper lines. As these copper wires are very old, they can impair the quality of your internet speed, which is why Fibre to the Node is often considered one of the less reliable NBN connections.
. HFC, which stands for “Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial Cable”. As the name suggests, it’s a hybrid technology that combines coaxial cable and optical fibre. It’s a comparatively new technology that’s tacked on top of the old Pay TV infrastructure.

Fibre to the premises / home
When the NBN project initially commenced, the government at the time intended to roll out fibre optic cabling all the way up to your home or business property. This type of connection is call Fibre to the premises/home

Fibre to the node
Mid-way through the NBN roll-out, a change in Government leadership saw some funding constraints which lead to a slightly different roll-out approach for the NBN. This approach involves an amalgamation of original copper systems and fibre optic systems. This is referred to as Fibre to the node (FTTN).

Fixed wireless connection
In some cases - particularly in remote locations - it would be impractical or too expensive to physically connect a property to the fibre-optic network. In such cases properties will be connected by a wireless network. This is referred to as a Fixed Wireless NBN connection.
