Tech Council of Australia’s Post

After six months of detailed consultation with our retail service providers, we are thrilled to announce that NBN Co is turbocharging the wholesale download and upload speeds on our three highest residential wholesale products, which will be available from September 2025. 🚀     A huge thank you to our retail partners for their invaluable feedback and collaboration. Together, we’re unleashing the power of the nbn® network to deliver faster, higher-capacity broadband to meet the surging demand from homes and businesses across the country.     What this means for customers 👇 ✨ The popular nbn Home Fast product will accelerate from 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps, offering five times faster download speeds.  ✨ The nbn Home Superfast product will triple its speed to 750/50 Mbps.  ✨ The nbn Home Ultrafast product will see its upload speeds double to ~1000/100 Mbps.  ✨ Introducing the new nbn Home Hyperfast tier with wholesale speeds of up to 2,000 Mbps, designed to support the digital future of our nation.     These upgrades are part of our multi-billion-dollar network enhancement program aimed at lifting Australia’s digital capabilities, supporting applications on the horizon like AI, AR, and VR.    With Australians increasingly consuming more data and utilising a growing number of connected devices, which are expected to surpass 350 million in households by 2026, a faster, higher-capacity nbn means better video streaming, lower-latency gaming, and smoother video conferencing — even with multiple devices connected simultaneously.      We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with retailers to bring these transformative services to customers and to drive the next phase of digital growth. We are turbocharging the power of the nbn network and we’re setting a new horizon for great things in Australia’s digital future.     For information visit 👉 https://lnkd.in/g4gXdEuz

This week nbn® Australia launched a proposal to provide five times faster download speeds on its popular nbn Home Fast product, which would see wholesale download speeds accelerate from 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps at no extra wholesale cost to retailers. Speed and capacity are becoming increasingly important considerations for NBN Co in the way it provisions its network and resets its products, particularly as the number of concurrent internet-connected devices in the average home continues to grow. In Australia, data demand and usage has doubled in the last five years, with the average household consuming 443 gigabytes per month across 22 internet-connected devices, which is a significant increase from 40 gigabytes of monthly data use across approximately seven internet-connected devices, on average, 10 years ago. The company expects this to grow to 33 devices per household by 2026 and 40 devices, on average, by the end of the decade. This will be driven by increased use of high and super-high-definition streaming on 4K TVs, increased gaming, and the proliferation of cloud computing, generative artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality, and as people continue to expect higher quality video conferencing and computing capabilities while working and studying at home.

"NBN Co today launched a proposal to provide five times faster download speeds on its popular nbn Home Fast product, which would see wholesale download speeds accelerate from 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps1 at no extra wholesale cost to retailers. NBN Co is proposing to provide the accelerated speeds to customers connected to the nbn® network via Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) technologies. The company is also proposing to triple the wholesale download speed of its nbn Home Superfast product from 250/25 Mbps to 750/50 Mbps and increase the wholesale speeds of its highest residential speed tier, nbn Home Ultrafast, from 500-1000/50 Mbps to 750-1000/50-100 Mbps, also at no extra wholesale cost to retailers. The accelerated speeds would be made available to customers who are already using one of the three highest-speed products, and to those who upgrade to one of those three higher speed tiers in the future. The proposed acceleration of the speed tiers is in response to the step-change in technology adoption and usage in Australia and globally. The move leverages the growing capabilities of fibre connectivity... nbn is proposing to introduce the accelerated speeds within the next 12 months and today issued an industry consultation paper and, in addition to canvassing a number of implementation considerations, it is seeking retailer input on the potential to introduce the changes even sooner... NBN Co today issued a consultation paper to internet retailers, seeking their feedback on the proposed increases in wholesale download and upload speeds by 5pm on Friday 19 April 2024." "In total, approximately 9 million homes and businesses would have access to the upgraded speed tiers by December 2024, growing to up to 10.2 million eligible premises, or approximately 90 per cent of nbn’s fixed line network, by December 2025... Critical to the success of the proposal will be internet retailers’ ability to transmit the higher wholesale speeds across their retail networks and ensure in-home equipment, such as modems and Wi-Fi routers, are capable of delivering the full benefits to customers. NBN Co will be seeking retailer feedback on what in-home equipment will be needed to bring the increased speeds to market."
