NBN's CEO said at a CommsDay conference yesterday that around 5,000 premises a week are taking part in their "Fibre Connect" (i.e: FTTN/FTTC upgrades to FTTP) program and that NBN is "extremely focused on driving volumes of Fibre Connect orders". The $3 million dollar a year CEO - yes that's really how much Stephen Rue is paid - also mentioned they are hoping to have the fixed wireless network upgrade to 5G by the end of 2024, enabling speeds of up to 325 Mbps possible and that "competition" is forcing NBN's hand to try and achieve speeds beyond 320 Mbps. Meanwhile, Aussie Broadband has a blog post about the new NBN SAU, explaining why their 50/20 plan is going up to $85/m but the 1000/50 plan is dropping to $129/m.
