If you have a business or live in Bardia, Bow Bowing, Denham Court, Ingleburn, Leumeah, St Andrews, Varroville, Macquarie Links and Minto you can now get a higher speed service from NBN.
This will allow residents and businesses to take advantage of the faster speeds which are increasingly important in a digital society and economy.
It will be particularly welcome in Ingleburn, which missed out on higher speeds and reliable internet for many years.
“The Albanese Government’s investment to expand NBN fibre access is a game changer,’’ says Member for Macarthur, Dr Mike Freelander.
“This is an opportunity for eligible local families and businesses to enjoy the benefits of a faster, more reliable fibre connection.
“I welcome NBN Co’s commitment to supporting the families and businesses in Macarthur, and encourage the community to check the NBN website to see whether they are eligible for an upgrade.’’
To further expand the benefits of fibre connections, the Albanese Government has invested $2.4 billion to enable an additional 1.5 million premises to transition from Fibre to the Node (FTTN) to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) by 2025 – over 660,000 of which will be in regional areas.
The first tranche of eligible suburbs – one million premises – were announced by the government earlier this year.
It will mean close to 90 per cent of the NBN fixed-line footprint will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 500Mbps to close to gigabit speeds.
Around 80 per cent of all regional and remote premises will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 100 Mbps or more by late 2025. This was estimated at 33 per cent in March 2022.
And 93 per cent of all Australian homes and businesses will have access to plans based on wholesale speeds of 100 Mbps or more.
