What is the NBN Satellite Broadband?

On July 1, 2011 NBN Co launched the NBN Interim Satellite Service (ISS), providing eligible rural and regional Australians with immediate access to better broadband services. The new service has been designed to provide much improved speed and bandwidth capacity to areas traditionally underserved by broadband access.
The interim service offers users peak speeds of 6Mbps download and 1Mbps Upload. This will provide a significant improvement to those who use existing satellite broadband today.
Peak speeds will be increased to 12Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload; doubling the current download speed in 2015 when NBN co launch their own satellite.

Am I Eligible For An NBN Satellite Service?

Eligibility criteria must be met before a NBN Satellite service can be installed on your property. If you are eligible according to the NBN Co Broadband Service Locator (NBN Co BSL); do not have access to a metro comparable service (as describer below) and meet the below criteria you may be eligible for the install of a NBN satellite service.

1. a residential user;
2. a small business;
3. an Indigenous community organisation;
4. a not-for-profit organisation;
5. an education facility;
6. a health facility; or
7. a local government facility.

A Metro-Comparable Service means a service with the following features:

1. access to the internet at a peak data speed of at least 512/128 kbps and 3GB per month usage allowance (with no restrictions within these limits on downloads or uploads or usage time);
2. a price to the end user over three years of no more than $2500 (inc GST) including equipment, installation, connection, account establishment, travel costs and ongoing provision of the service; and
3. The internet service provider offering the broadband service can install the service within a reasonable period of time.

Broadband services that would be defined as metro comparable would be ADSL, 3G or 4G Wireless/Mobile Broadband or a fixed broadband service that is listed on the NBN Co BSL.

You will need to check your eligibility and register for a service through NBN Co by phoning Activ8me on 1800 804 410 or online at: https://bcoms.dbcde.gov.au/NBNBSL
