Families and businesses can connect to the nbn™ network in Dunsborough
About 370 more homes and businesses in the Dunsborough area are now able to connect to fast and reliable broadband following the official switch-on of another nbn™ fixed wireless tower in the region.
This follows the switch-on of the nbn™ for approximately 142 premises to the west of Dunsborough townsite in March last year. Construction of the nbn™ in the townsite of Dunsborough is due to commence in the second quarter of this year.
Residents should check the nbn website www.nbnco.com.au to see if they’re eligible to connect. Connecting to the nbn™ network is not automatic so people should contact their phone or internet provider to make the switch.
Philippa Perry, nbn spokesperson said:
“This is exciting news for residents at the approximately 370 premises now able to connect to the nbn™ in and around Dunsborough who can start experiencing the benefits of fast and reliable broadband.
“For decades, rural and regional Australia has been left behind when it comes to telecommunications. The fixed wireless service is designed to provide access to internet speeds and bandwidth that many in the big cities currently take for granted.
“It will also assist Australians living in regional areas like Dunsborough to set up their own small businesses or deliver work from home.
A recently released report, “Fixed Wireless Broadband: A Global Comparison” found that the nbn™ fixed wireless service is world leading when compared to the performance of 21 wireless broadband providers from around the world.
This continues the momentum of the nbn™ rollout in WA, with more than 135,000 premises able to connect to the network.
To make the switch:
Check the nbn website www.nbnco.com.au to see if you’re eligible to connect.
Contact your phone or internet provider to discuss your needs.
Your chosen provider will perform a service qualification check and, if successful, will arrange installation of the necessary nbn™ network equipment. There are no costs to install the nbn™ equipment.
