Adelaide CBD Launches 10Gbps Network, Expands Free Wi-Fi Infrastructure
Ten Gigabit Adelaide and ADLFree networks establish the base for future service expansions in the city centre.
How we reported this
Ten Gigabit Adelaide supplies symmetrical speeds up to 10Gbps to businesses in over 1,000 buildings across the Adelaide CBD and North Adelaide, with access starting at $399 per month including 1Gb internet.
The network forms part of the documented infrastructure that city businesses already use for high-capacity connections. This rollout matters now because the NBN has been fully rolled out across the City of Adelaide area and eligible CBD premises can connect to the broadband access network. Operators and tenants therefore examine how existing fibre assets can support additional products without waiting for new civil works.
Named networks in the CBD and North Adelaide
ADLFree powered by TPG Telecom operates across the Adelaide CBD, park lands and North Adelaide through 251 high-speed fibre optic access points installed under a $4.8 million Adelaide City Deal project. GigCity, a South Australian Government initiative, supplies gigabit-speed broadband to 21 innovation precincts inside Adelaide to assist start-ups and other bandwidth-intensive users. Most properties in the Adelaide CBD already reach NBN 25 to NBN 100 plans, while FTTP or HFC connections can deliver NBN 250 or NBN 1000 where available.
These programmes sit on top of the completed NBN footprint and the Ten Gigabit Adelaide fibre routes. The combination gives property managers and precinct operators a clear inventory of current access points and backhaul capacity when they plan incremental upgrades or new service tiers.
Practical steps for businesses and residents
Organisations inside the covered buildings can review the City of Adelaide pages on Ten Gigabit Adelaide and the NBN section to confirm available speeds and contract terms. Users of the free ADLFree service can note the 251 listed access points when testing coverage on foot or inside park lands. No new construction dates or product launches appear in the current records, so the immediate action remains verification against the published maps and pricing for each precinct.
