NBN clients upgrade

THE number of Australia homes and businesses connected to faster national broadband speed plans has more than doubled thanks to NBN Co’s temporary discounted pricing which the company says will be superseded by new bundles from May.

NBN Co says orders for NBN wholesale speeds of 50Mbps or higher rose from 16 per cent in December to 37 per cent, with more than one million people upgrading their internet speeds in the past four months.

The company announced yesterday it now plans to start selling new wholesale pricing options from May.
