Since 2007 the nbn® has been a contentious topic. Nearly every day, the nbn® is discussed in newspapers; talkback radio shows, and in social media feeds. All this coverage combined with  commentators different opinions and views, has created a fair bit of confusion around the nbn®.

The nbn® infrastructure rollout was completed in 2020. The copper network was decommissioned and businesses had to plan for their migration.

What do Australian businesses need to know about the nbn®?

The nbn® consists of a mix of technologies including fibre-to-the-premise, fibre-to-the building, fibre-to-the-node, wireless fibre and high-speed satellite services. These different methods of delivery will give most Australians access to a fast-speed data service.

Before you sign your business up for an nbn® plan it is important to consider the following:

  • What happens if the Internet speed you’ve been promised doesn’t get delivered?

  • How easy is it to upgrade your service when your business grows?

  • What service will be the best one for your business location?

  • How much will your nbn® business plan cost?
  • Is the customer service call centre based locally and available 24/7 or is it based overseas?
