NBN Co today launched a proposal to provide five times faster download speeds on its popular nbn Home Fast product, which would see wholesale download speeds accelerate from 100/20 Mbps to 500/50 Mbps1 at no extra wholesale cost to retailers.
They’re actually upgrading the Fixed Wireless network to 5G already as we speak. All customers will be upgraded to 100/20 capability and the wholesale price will match other technologies. This means those on 75/10 will receive this automatically, and for free. From mid-2024, 90% of customers will be upgraded to 200-250/20 capability, with the same wholesale price as the 100/20 offering. This aligns with the speed tier upgrades in the OP. They will also start offering a Superfast tier at 400/20-40 to 80% of customers. Part of the upgrades include ensuring peak throughput, and doubling the range of each tower to enable new connections to a bunch of satellite customers.
Fixed wireless still capped at 75/10 and lucky to get 25/5 in peak hours… So this is just extending the digital divide they claimed would never happen
