Premises at Erina and Terrigal are among the first in Australia to become eligible for an upgrade of their NBN Connection at no upfront cost.
They will now have access to the fastest speeds on the network – up to 1 gigabit per second.
Federal Member for Robertson, Lucy Wicks, said it was an important milestone in delivering the Government’s $4.5B NBN network enhancements.
“Fast broadband speeds like this will enable businesses and locals working from home to access greater productivity gains and access to new markets, and families can enjoy the use of multiple devices, including working and learning from home,” Wicks said.
To trigger a full-fibre upgrade, eligible customers will need to place an order with their retailer for an eligible wholesale speed tier.
“I encourage locals in Terrigal and Erina to contact their service provider and place an order for a plan that suits their needs,” Wicks said.
More premises in the Robertson electorate have also been included as part of the upgrade plan – which now also covers Kincumber.
“This will provide another 1,200 residents in our region with the opportunity to upgrade to ultra-fast broadband speeds of up to 1 gigabit by 2023,” Wicks said.
“NBN Co will work with its construction and delivery partners to keep rolling out the upgrades and get these premises in our region ready to access to ultra-fast speeds.”
Wicks said the upgrade program would see up to 75 per cent of premises in the fixed line network able to access ultra-fast broadband by 2023.
