NBN Co.com.au have simultaneously announced the conclusion of the NBN trial and the commencement and availability of commercial services for consumers in the first release sites.
It’s expected that approximately 14,000 business owners and residents whose properties reside in the first release areas will be able to order, sign up and switch on National Broadband Network Internet and Phone (Bundles) services from tomorrow onward.
NBN Co Head of Product Development and Sales, Jim Hassell had this to say….
“The launch of commercial services over the fibre network in the mainland First Release Sites marks a significant milestone for the delivery of the NBN. It is the start of a new era of service and competition as providers begin to offer a range of different plans over our open-access wholesale network.
“It is also an important landmark for NBN Co as we start to generate our first revenue from fibre services. Not only is the NBN a project that will see our national infrastructure upgraded, it is an investment through which revenues are planned to eventually repay the initial outlay and deliver a return to taxpayers.”
