Activ8me To Participate In NBN Fibre Trials

Wednesday, 5 October 2011

Activ8me has signed on to participate as a service provider for NBN Co’s roll out of fibre network across Australia. Activ8me should be in a position to start selling in 2012.

NBN Co’s roll out of fibre network in conjunction with NBN Wireless and NBN Satellite Broadband technology is designed as a future proof solution that will enable Australian’s regardless of where they live to have access to world class broadband speeds. This will help cope with the demand that new device technologies and programs require now and in the future.

With such exponential growth of internet bandwidth requirements and usage over the last 5 years the technology we use and rely on today will not be adequate in the next few years. The fibre network will allow for this kind of growth and development in the future.
93% of Australian premises will be connected by fibre and will receive a high-speed broadband network that will provide superfast broadband speeds. The remaining 7% of the population not covered by the fibre network will be covered by high speed Wireless and Satellite broadband.

Below are the locations of the second release fibre sites.

•Victoria: Bacchus Marsh, South Morang (Melbourne)
•Queensland: Brisbane (inner north), Springfield Lakes, Toowoomba
•NSW: Riverstone (western Sydney), Coffs Harbour
•South Australia: – Modbury, Prospect
•Western Australia: Victoria Park (Perth), Geraldton, Mandurah
•Northern Territory: Casuarina
•ACT: Gungahlin

The existing first release sites - Minnamurra/Kiama Downs (Kiama) and Armidale in NSW, Townsville in Queensland, Brunswick in Melbourne, and Willunga in South Australia - will have their fibre-serving area expanded by an additional 3,000 premises each; with the area of Seaford/McLaren Vale in South Australia becoming part of the Willunga area.

If you live in one of the above areas, Activ8me may be able to provide you with a Fibre connection in the near future.
