Major nbn Fibre Upgrade Milestone Reached In The Burdekin

More than 6,200 homes and businesses in Ayr, Home Hill & Brandon are now eligible to upgrade to full fibre via nbn Fibre to the Premises (FTTP).

Upgrading to full fibre can enable access to a faster, more reliable nbn broadband service, delivering a range of benefits, including smoother, higher-resolution video calls, enhanced streaming, faster downloads, and the ability to connect more devices simultaneously.

“Households are consuming more data than ever for the things they love, like streaming 4K on multiple devices, online education, next-level gaming, conference calls, and uploading and downloading large files for work,” said Head of nbn Local Qld, Kylie Lindsay.

“Australians deserve access to fast, effective broadband, regardless of whether they live in a major city or a country town.”

With the recent introduction of speed boosts for higher-tier plans and multi-gigabit speed plans available, there’s never been a better time to consider upgrading to nbn fibre.

In Australia, data demand and usage have 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.
