Hi Bill, it’s best to reach out to Buddy Telco to confirm whether your modem is compatible.
As for upgrading to fibre, you can check if you’re eligible for a free upgrade on NBN Co’s website: https://www.nbnco.com.au/residential/upgrades/more-fibre. If you’re not eligible yet, just keep in mind the rollout is scheduled to finish by the end of 2025, so your property may qualify later on.
Hope this helps, and please reach out again if you have any more questions!
