A Digital Leap Forward with Full Fibre for over 400 Marysville addresses
The Victorian town of Marysville came together in celebration as nbn Local joined Murrindindi Shire Council members to host a ‘Marysville Fibre Ready‑to‑Connect Community Celebration’ at MiRA (Marysville Information & Regional Artspace) on the 24th July.
Activ8me was in attendance to assist residents and local businesses to learn how to take advantage of the upgrade and help understand the next steps: how to sign up, choose plans, and get their service activated. As a Victorian based Retail Service Provider for nbn services which specialises in regional and remote connections, Activ8me took the chance to speak directly with residents, several of whom are existing customers, to provide advice and answer questions about how to make the most of the new technology. Activ8me prides itself on supporting local communities like Marysville, helping users throughout the transition process from installation to activation and ongoing support.
Marysville, located in the picturesque Murrindindi Shire of Victoria, is now poised to benefit from this transformative upgrade to its digital infrastructure. Through cooperation between NBN Co, the Victorian Government’s Connecting Victoria Program and infrastructure partner Ventia, over 400 eligible households and businesses in Marysville now have access to fibre‑to‑the‑premises (FTTP) broadband internet.
The free morning tea held at the MiRA Artspace marked the official celebration of completed FTTP infrastructure.
With the full fibre‑to‑the‑premises rollout in Marysville now completed, the event shared rollout achievements and allowed attendees to connect with the nbn and Activ8me directly, to understand what the technology means for them and how to make the most of the newly available technology.
Why It Matters for Marysville
Speaking to locals at the event, it was clear that most in the area relied on slower or older technologies, such as ADSL. With FTTP, locals now have access to better speeds and more reliable, resilient internet access. The newly completed FTTP network enables gigabit-capable speeds, vastly improving access for remote work, education, entertainment and access to the digital economy.
This community-centred event helped demystify the switch to fibre, encouraging take-up, and offering real-time support and advice.
What Comes Next?
Residents in eligible addresses can start ordering nbn Fibre plans through Retail Service Providers like Activ8me. You can view our available plans here.
Activ8me representatives at the event offered postcode checks, service setup guidance, information on how to optimise in-home Wi-Fi networks and assistance navigating plan choices.
Now that the fibre connections are installed and ready for use, customers can look forward to a dramatically upgraded broadband experience – with the ability to activate their new service with Activ8me with a simple phone call, with the service to activate within 48 hours (but normally within just a few hours).
The Marysville Fibre Celebration wasn’t just about unveiling cables and boxes – it gave the chance for residents to get the answers they need to ensure local uptake and clarify any questions, ensuring Marysville is now firmly in the digital fast lane.
