Eligible homes and businesses in the Shoalhaven are now benefitting from nbn upgrades to the fibre and fixed wireless networks.
Upgrades to the network include:
- Full fibre upgrades coming to 12,486 homes and businesses
- Upgrades to the local Fixed Wireless network under the Fixed Wireless Upgrade Program.
Upgrading to full fibre delivers a range of benefits for customers when compared to copper connections, including smoother video calls, enhanced streaming, quicker response times for gaming, and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously – including smart TVs, home security systems, and smart home technology.
To upgrade to full fibre, eligible new and existing customers have to place an order for an eligible high-speed plan (at least 100 Mbps download) through an internet service provider.
We have also rolled out a significant enhancement to the Fixed Wireless network. With a $750 million investment—$480 million from the Australian Government and $270 million from NBN Co—we’ve brought faster speeds and greater capacity to more than 800,000 homes and businesses across Australia.
Across the Shoalhaven this means better connectivity for communities in nbn Fixed Wireless and Fixed Line footprints.
Speeds have been significantly boosted with Fixed Wireless Home Fast now available to about 90 per cent of the expanded Fixed Wireless footprint and is expected to offer peak wholesale speeds of about 200-250/8-20 Mbps.
These improvements are already making a difference for families, students, and small businesses who need reliable internet for day-to-day operations and future growth.
To help customers understand and take advantage of the completed upgrades, the nbn Local team will be visiting. Local residents and businesses can come along and have their questions answered. The team can also provide advice on making the most of their home internet and setup.
Details are as follows:
Fri 4th July – 9am to 1pm
Outside Tomerong LPO, 353 Hawken Rd, Tomerong NSW
