What Is NBN
The National Broadband Network (NBN) is Australia’s largest ever upgrade to internet infrastructure. It was created to replace the old copper-based networks with a modern, high-capacity system designed to handle the way we use the internet today.
The NBN gives homes and businesses access to faster, more reliable internet services. Instead of relying on ageing phone lines, it uses a mix of advanced technologies that deliver stronger speeds, better stability, and the ability to connect more devices at once.
This upgrade is about more than just faster downloads – it’s about supporting how Australians now live, work, and communicate. Whether it’s video calls, online learning, streaming, cloud storage, or running a business from home, the NBN is built to keep up with everyday needs and future demands.
In short, the NBN is the backbone of Australia’s digital future, connecting people, businesses, and communities with the internet services they need to stay productive and connected.
