The Albanese Government is lifting the nation's digital capacity with more than nine million homes and businesses able to access the fastest broadband speeds on the National Broadband Network (NBN).
This is an important milestone on the way to enabling ten million premises - or up to 90 per cent of the NBN fixed line network - to access the NBN's fastest speeds of up to one gigabit per second by the end of 2025.
World-class fibre broadband enables gigabit speeds, allowing for faster upload and downloads, more connected devices, and better reliability for consumers - whether they are videoconferencing for work, enjoying high-definition movies or next-level gaming.
Fibre upgrades are being delivered across the country thanks to the Albanese Government's significant $2.4 billion investment to roll out fibre to 1.5 million more premises across Australia.
Full fibre connections are delivering productivity benefits, with NBN users saving more than 100 hours and $2,580 per year working from home and undertaking tasks online.
Research shows the NBN has delivered $122 billion in economic uplift since 2022, and has supported the creation of approx 169,000 jobs - the equivalent of a 1.3 per cent increase in Australia's labour force.
Fibre upgrades are available on-demand to eligible households and businesses who take out an eligible higher speed tier plan.
