Half a million premises in WA eligible for fibre upgrades: NBN Co Featured

By

More than 500,000 premises across Western Australia (WA) are eligible for fibre upgrades on the NBN network, wholesale broadband operator NBN Co claimed.

More than 63,000 homes and businesses are ordering NBN full fibre, NBN Co said in a statement.

According to NBN data, in the past 10 years, data consumption across the state has grown by more than 700%.

The average household in WA uses around 433GB of data per month which is the equivalent of streaming 43 hours of 4K Netflix and refreshing Facebook more than 50,000 times.

The spike in consumption is attributed to demand for HD streaming, online gaming, and the number of connected devices using data-intensive applications.

The average Australian home now has around 22 connected devices. It is expected to increase to 30 by 2030.

Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said in a statement that the local government areas of Stirling, Wanneroo, Gosnells, Rockingham, Bayswater, and Canning lead the highest number of fibre connections.

"The upgrades are available right across the state, including homes and businesses outside the Perth metropolitan region, which means that more people than ever in our regional areas can also access the benefits of a nbn full fibre connection,” said NBN Co chief customer officer Anna Perrin.

“Access to this technology is a game-changer for families who have struggled with dropouts and slow speeds over copper. I strongly encourage households to check the NBN Co website to see if you are eligible for a full fibre upgrade,” said Rowland.
