National Broadband Network (NBN)

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is changing the way Australians access the Internet — using lightning-fast fibre optic technology. Westnet is excited to be a foundation partner of NBNCo and the leading provider of this state-of-art Internet service.

Right now there are several thousand Australians lucky enough to be in the first NBN-enabled areas. To see if you’re one of them, visit our NBN coverage page for maps and further details.

It’s all happening pretty fast, but our NBN experts are ready to bring you up to speed on getting connected and making the most of your super-fast broadband speeds.

It’s all ready and waiting, so give us a call on 1300 455 806 to get the ball rolling.

Shaping Once you reach your quota limit for the month, it's common practise for ISPs to charge excess usage fees. Except for us - instead of charging you more money, we slow your internet speed for the remainder of your billing month.

So, for example, if you exceed your peak quota, your peak speed will be shaped until the following month.
Upload & Download A download is everything you receive over the internet. A upload is everything you transfer onto the internet.
Retail Service Provider (RSP) The same way you'd choose an Internet Service Provider (ISP) at the moment, you'll need to choose a Retail Service Provider to provide you with ongoing services (including internet and phone), products, support and assistance if you connect to the NBN.
Freezone The Freezone is an area where Westnet members on selected plans can view, download play and listen to selected websites without affecting their monthly quota.
