business nbn® Enterprise Ethernet


Built upon a robust fibre network that’s designed with the future in mind


With our digital landscape constantly transforming, and many businesses relying daily on video conferencing and cloud-based applications, network reliability is critical.  Enterprise Ethernet is designed to meet the needs of businesses of different sizes, whether you’re big or small.

The product gives providers the ability to scale your network solution – helping you to be productive, collaborative and innovative, and to meet the evolving digital needs of your business. 

nbn is looking to supercharge the digital capability of businesses across Australia with the business nbn fibre initiative, by providing more access to its business-grade fibre than ever before.





A premium, high-performance fibre access network designed to be both fast and reliable


business nbn Enterprise Ethernet is nbn’s flagship fibre access product, with a 99.95% network availability target for providers§, designed to help reduce downtime for businesses. Most importantly, it’s now available to an estimated 1.5M Australian business locations, providing high-performance fibre across the country.







Fast, adaptable and designed specifically for businesses of different sizes


With symmetrical wholesale speed tiers from as little as 10/10Mbps to nearly 10Gbps (see important information about speeds below)^, plus options for providers to prioritise your data to help reduce congestion, Enterprise Ethernet is designed to provide the bandwidth needed for providers to support businesses big or small, now and into the future.







Dedicated onshore experts connect and provide 24/7 support to providers


Our Australian-based business nbn Service Centre, is dedicated to supporting business and government customers by helping manage all fibre connections and providing 24x7 assurance support to all service providers with business nbn Enterprise Ethernet customers.








Choice of service provider

As an open access network, businesses have the opportunity to switch products and change service providers without shifting access networks. This enables customers to choose from a range of providers offering retail solutions based on business nbn wholesale products.

This allows organisations making a shift towards hybrid IT infrastructure models and cloud applications to benefit from nbn’s flagship fibre product, available from a range of providers.

Regardless of the bandwidth profile for the service you acquire from your service provider, it will operate at less than 10Gbps (or, in some circumstances, less than 1Gbps, if that bandwidth profile is acquired) because of normal equipment and network limitations. In addition, your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn network, depends on some factors outside our control (like your equipment quality, software, and how your service provider designs its network). If your service provider has not selected Class of Service High, speeds you experience may be affected by contention on the nbn network, particularly in busy periods.

business nbn Enterprise Ethernet is only available in the nbn Fixed Line network footprint and at limited premises served by the nbn Fixed Wireless and Satellite networks. Costs may apply; customers should contact their preferred service provider to ask about availability and any fees and charges that may be applicable.
