Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) - Fibre optics cabling is installed directly inside your property; this can deliver fast internet services with up to 1gbit/s speeds


Fibre to the Node/Building (FTTN/B) -
 Both fibre optic cables and the existing copper telephone network are used to deliver nbn® to your home. Fibre optic cables are installed in an area and terminate in a node, which is a large green box positioned on your street or within your building. At the node, the fibre optic cables are then connected to the existing copper network that runs into your home


Fixed Wireless –
 nbn® is delivered to your home via a wireless signal. A receiver is installed at the property to pick up the nbn® signal from a large transmitter (tower) in the area


Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) -
Existing cable TV and internet cable networks in some urban areas are used to connect your home to the nbn® network


Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) -
 Fibre optic cables run along every street, and at the distribution point outside your home the fibre will be connected to the existing copper cable that runs into the property - this could be in a telecommunications pit outside the house or on a nearby telegraph pole. This technology type uses the shortest amount of copper cable, and typically, greater speeds are possible in comparison to a FTTN/B connection


Satellite nbn® -
 In remote areas or those not serviced by the other nbn® delivery methods, people can access nbn® using a satellite dish installed by an nbn® technician. Speeds and data inclusions are not the same as those available on other nbn® delivery methods and is the only nbn® technology type service that Tangerine cannot provide
