The National Broadband Network’s (nbn®) rollout is in full swing and has now surpassed the 1 million mark when it comes to giving fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) and fibre-to-the-basement (FTTB) access to users.
According to IT News, the nbn® announced that it had passed 338,000 total premises during the three-month period and added about 280,000 new active end users, after its first quarter result briefing.
With those numbers the nbn® now has a total number of 3.2 million premises that can provide internet service. The network also added that the increase in the number of areas that can provide connection was due to the combined FTTN and FTTB rollout.
Late last year, it had about 926,624 premises that were able to order either FTTN or FTTB services, which has hit the million mark just last September.
With this progress, various homes and businesses now have access to a steady, and most importantly, fast internet connection, which helps them with their everyday lives. The National Broadband Network also revealed that it’s planning to move about 1.2 million premises out of its HFC footprint onto its FTTN network.
CEO Bill Morrow said, “we are now 30 percent complete in terms of current premises able to order a service, with the company able to bring on whole suburbs in a month due to the MTM approach.”
It’s amazing what the nbn® has achieved in just a short span of time,and shows the companys dedication when it comes to providing Australians the internet connection that they deserve.
With the full rollout mode of its nbn fibre to the node services, expect more premises to have access to quick and stable Internet connection.
