Short answer
Yes. FirstNet services are designed to scale as requirements change, and bandwidth upgrades and policy changes are part of the ongoing optimisation FirstNet provides once a link is live.
In detail
How changes work in practice:
- On business fibre, an upgrade needs one month's written notice and extends the contract term by at least 12 months.
- Optional extras can be added as a site grows, such as additional static public IPs, a dedicated (uncontended) fibre variant or a second fibre link on an alternate carrier.
- On IP Transit, common upgrades include more capacity, redundant ports or dual paths, IPv6 enablement and Protected IP Transit.
- New locations can be added without rethinking the whole connectivity strategy.
The achievable speed still depends on the access technology at the site. Fibre scales furthest. Fixed wireless profiles range from about 5 to 10 Mbps up to 100 Mbps or more, depending on technology and distance, and LTE/5G speeds follow the underlying network plan. If a site has outgrown best-effort broadband, Dedicated Internet Access gives committed, symmetric bandwidth. PRTG bandwidth monitoring on every managed router shows utilisation over time, which helps when planning an upgrade.
