More homes in Guyra get access to faster fixed wireless connections

10th Sep 2024

A recent upgrade to the fixed wireless tower in Guyra means that more than 500 homes and businesses can now access higher nbn network speeds on their nbn fixed wireless connection.
The work was carried out as part of nationwide upgrades to enable faster speeds across the network during busy periods. It also sees the introduction of the fastest wholesale speeds ever offered on the nbn Fixed Wireless network.
Head of nbn Local NSW Tom O’Dea said that faster speeds, especially during busy periods, help meet the growing data demands of regional Australia and supports the rise of remote healthcare, working and learning from home, connects rural entrepreneurs to the world and allows people to stay connected to family, friends and their community.
“Regional Australians are using more data than ever,” Mr O’Dea said.
“We’re delivering the fastest wholesale nbn fixed wireless speeds we’ve ever offered to regional Australia, including two new higher speed tiers for homes and businesses with ‘heavy’ or more ‘intensive’ internet usage requirements.
“We have increased the potential maximum wholesale speed on the popular nbn Fixed Wireless Plus plan, which is now available to the homes and businesses in the nbn Fixed Wireless footprint across Guyra, as well as enabled formerly nbn satellite premises to access nbn Fixed Wireless for the first time.”
“We are working with providers to make these high-speed plans available in upgraded locations and encourage people to go to the nbn website to see what is available to them.”
The higher nbn network speeds are being made possible through a $750 million investment into the nbn Fixed Wireless network – $480 million from the Australian Government and an additional $270 million from nbn – and is on track to be completed by around end 2024.
nbn is upgrading its existing fixed wireless towers with the installation of new technology along with software enhancements to help deliver overall enhanced nbn network speeds and coverage to regional Australia.
