What is NBN?
The NBN or National Broadband Network is a new network of infrastructure currently being built by the Australian federal government to bring faster and more redly available internet to Australian homes and businesses.
Boasting download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (that’s four times quicker than the fastest ADSL2+ broadband currently available.) These figures are based on maximum connection speeds. Actual Speeds could be slower and may differ due to various factors.
