The federal government has announced that it will invest a further $3 billion in the National Broadband Network, with the funding to give an extra 622,000 premises the option of full fibre access. With an additional injection of $800 million from NBN Co to be included, Labor expects it to result in over 94 per cent of premises on the fixed-line network having access to speeds of up to 1GB per second on fibre to the premises or hybrid fibre coaxial connections. The new $3 billion in funding will increase the government’s total investment in the NBN to $35 billion.
