This website (nbn.rinseout.org) only uses best estimates on nbn™ technology, service areas, estimated speeds and FTTP upgrade eligibility and should only be used as a rough guide. It has no affiliation whatsoever with NBN Co Ltd, and is a non-commercial enthusiast website with a goal to bring additional visibility to the nbn™ network based on publicly released data. Information on this website may be out of date and can change at any time. Please use the address checker at nbnco.com.au for the most up to date information.
With the main disclaimer out of the way, I hope you find this website useful.
Much of the node and pillar location data has been manually sourced and verified by contributors though using Google Street view and local knowledge.
Any suggestions, feedback or concerns please give me a shout at simmo1@gmail.com
Since the goal of this site is to bring additional visibility to the nbn™ network all data is available in either JSON or GeoJSON format whcih should be fairly easy to use and adapt.
The data dumps will be refreshed on a weekly basis so check back as more nodes and location data is updated.

Due to the large size of the GeoJSON data the files have been compressed with the XZ format, you will need a decent archive tool such as 7-Zip to uncompress them.

The Statutory Infrastructure Provider (SIP) regime (introduced 1 July 2020) is intended to ensure that all premises around Australia have access to either a superfast fixed-line, fixed wireless or satellite broadband connection.
'Statutory Infrastructure Provider (SIP) - NBN Co Limited - Dataset' was publicly released via ACMA in 2020 as required under Part 19 of the Telecommunications Act 1997.
This site heavily uses this dataset to map out the various FTTN distrbution areas.
