NBN (National Broadband Network)

Local rollout has started
 

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is an Australian Government initiative that will deliver high speed broadband over a network designed to reach all Australian premises. It is a vital communications infrastructure that will be used by Australians for many decades to come.

The NBN will connect 93% of homes, schools and businesses to a high speed fibre network with the remaining 7% connected via either fixed wireless or satellite technologies.

The Australian Government has  established NBN Co to design, build and operate the NBN.
Early in 2012 detailed maps of the rollout will be available to view HERE.

Watch a short video about the NBN

Why do we need an NBN ?
Australia currently relies on an ageing copper telecommunications network to connect homes to the internet. As a result, our broadband performance is falling behind the rest of the world. The rollout of the NBN will represent a significant leap in the communications capabilities currently available to  most Australians. Investment in high-speed broadband will improve services in education and health sectors, offer the potential for substantial productivity improvement for businesses, create jobs and offer improved services and competition.
