Eligible homes and businesses in the Shoalhaven are now benefitting from local nbn upgrades to the fibre and fixed wireless networks. Upgrades to the network included:

• Full fibre upgrades to 35,000 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. 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.
