The NBN Frequently Asked Questions
What is the National Broadband Network (NBN)?
The Australian Government announced in April 2009 that it would invest up to $43 billion over 8 years to deliver a superfast broadband to Australian homes and workforces.
When the new network is complete, all Australians will be able to access fast affordable broadband.
This new superfast network will be built in partnership with the private sector and is the single largest nation building infrastructure project in Australian history.
The network will be built on fibre and supplemented by next generation wireless and satellite technology.
What does the NBN hope to achieve?
The new National Broadband Network will:
- Connect 90 percent of all Australian homes, schools and workplaces with broadband services with speeds up to 100 megabits per second, which is 100 times faster than those currently used by many households and businesses
- Connect all other premises in Australia with next generation wireless and satellite technologies that will deliver broadband speeds of 12 megabits per second
- Directly support up to 25,000 local jobs every year, on average, over the 8 year life of the project
- Provide fibre optic transmission links connecting cities, major regional centres and rural towns
How will the government achieve the NBN?
The government has established a new company to build and operate the National Broadband Network. The new company is named the NBN Co.
The Government will be the majority shareholder of this company, but significant private sector investment in the company is anticipated.
For more information about the NBN Co. please visit their website www.nbnco.com.au
Will I need to do extra training to work on the NBN?
The delivery of the new service to the end user will require the installation of new customer premises equipment (CPE) and possibly new and upgraded cabling (external and internal) in residential, business and multi-dwelling environments. These new CPE and cabling requirements will require the definition of new technical standards, training arrangements and installation practices.
Will the NBN create additional employment opportunities?
The National Broadband Network will be the single largest infrastructure project in Australian history, creating tens of thousands of jobs over its eight year period in areas such as digging ditches, running the fibres, planning and engineering, connecting homes and businesses and supplying network hardware.
When will the NBN Rollout start?
Tasmania will be the launch site of the new network. Construction on the rollout has commenced and the first 10 Tasmanian communities to receive superfast broadband have been announced. A pilot program has commenced in the communities of Smithton, Scottsdale and Midway Point.
The NBN Co. expects to start work on mainland test sites early in the second half of 2010.
What are Fibre Optic lines?
Fibre Optic lines are literally fine strands of pure glass that carry digital information over long distances using pulses of light. Many signals or pulses can be sent down the fibre at once. Faster speeds can be enabled by illuminating different colour light down the fibre.
How is Fibre Optic different to what we currently use?
We currently connect via copper into peoples homes using ADSL technology. This mixes voice and data signal over the copper and then separates them through a modem in the people’s home. The problem with this is the further away from the home is from the exchange the slower the speed.
What is Fibre to the Premises?
Fibre to the Premises (FttP) is the new technology used to deliver superfast broadband directly to homes and businesses (or premises). Instead of using the existing copper cables for the last mile to access, it completely bypasses the copper with the new fibre optic cable connected directly to the premises
How can I register an interest in developments in the National Broadband Network?
The Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE) are taking registrations of interest in the rolling – out of the fibre optic networks. If you would like to be kept informed on developments in this area, please complete the Fibre roll-out registration of interest online form.
