The National Broadband Network, or NBN, is the new broadband network being rolled out across Australia by the government business enterprise NBN Co to set us up for the future. For most of you, it will replace the existing network your current phone and internet run on. NBN Co is responsible for installing equipment in and outside your home, but to use the NBN, you will need to take up a plan with a provider like us. When you connect to Telstra on the NBN, you're going to experience superfast broadband. All our plans deliver download speeds up to 25Mb per second. Now, that's fast. But what does that mean for you? For a start, you'll be sharing photos and videos with friends and family in a flash. And then, if you add a speed boost, you'll be able to do more things faster and really bring your home to life. In your home, I bet everyone's on their phones, laptops, tablets and TVs, all downloading, uploading, streaming and gaming at the same time. That's why having a strong Wi-Fi signal is more important than ever before, and with the Telstra Gateway Max modem, you'll have it. For most of you, once your home is NBN ready, if you want your home phone or internet to keep working, you'll need to make the move. When that is depends on where you live and how you'll access the NBN. To find this out, simply go to telstra.com/nbn and pop your address in. When your place is ready, you'll get the NBN through one of three ways - fibre, fixed wireless or satellite. For most of you, you'll connect through a fibre cable that runs straight into your home. In some areas, fibre isn't available, so NBN Co will connect you via a fixed wireless signal sent to an antenna fitted to your roof. And if none of these options are available, a dish on your roof will connect you via satellite. So call today. You'll get your own personal NBN specialist who will organise for the NBN Co to come out and install your equipment if required and then send you everything you need to complete your NBN installation. Or, if you prefer, we can organise for a Telstra technician to visit your home. Simple! And that's your basic tour of the NBN.
