NBN Co has provided an update on its fibre network progress.

NBN Co says fibre extension is underway in parts of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

The company says it is extending fibre deeper into communities in selected metropolitan and regional areas of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia.

Fibre will now pass more than 100,000 premises in areas currently serviced by Fibre to the Node (FTTN) technology.

The additional premises are in undisclosed parts of the following towns and suburbs:

  • Belmont North, Charlestown, Toronto, Carramar, Castle Hill, Holsworthy, Liverpool, and Wetherill Park in New South Wales
  • Lyndhurst and Narre Warren in Victoria
  • Acacia Ridge, Browns Plains, Eight Mile Plains and Oxenford in Queensland
  • Osborne in South Australia
  • Cannington and Double View in Western Australia

“This marks the start of NBN Co’s $4.5 billion network investment program, which aims to make nbn’s highest wholesale speed tiers available, as demand arises, to around 8 million premises – or up to 75 per cent of homes and businesses on the fixed line network by 2023,” the company said in a statement.
