INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
premises have signed up for high speed broadband in the last four months alone
That equates to 37% of homes and businesses now on the NBN50 option, as compared to just 16% from this time last year.NBN Co claims that
this surge is due to lower wholesale prices that have allowed resellers (RSPs) to purchase more bandwidth
Another round of wholesale bundles will be made available to RSPs in May, which could lead to better offers for the end user.But, while the
congestion was lower in February, that changed in March
The number of complaints about the national broadband service increased more than 200% in the last six months of 2017, according to a report
14,055 were about service quality and 8,757 about delays in securing an NBN connection.However, NBN Co is quick to point out that number of
complaints was down by 16% in the last months of 2017.The Australian Communications and Media Association (ACMA) is working to come up with
an effective way to handle NBN-related complaints, but the plan is yet to be put into action.
