NBN in Halls Gap

Halls Gap residents will be able to ask National Broadband Network representatives about a network rollout on Sunday.

NBN Co is conducting a tour across regional Victoria to give businesses and residents the chance to learn how the service will affect them and how to access the NBN through a phone or internet provider.

NBN representatives will be at Halls Gap Bakery on Main Road from 9am to 1pm.

Head of NBN Local Victoria Ebony Aitken said more than 450 homes and businesses in Halls Gap could connect to a service via the NBN access network.

“We have been listening to the community’s feedback and are committed to providing answers to the questions residents and businesses want to know about the network and the factors which influence the speed of their internet service,” she said.

“We’re urging those residents who are ready to connect or who have already connected to check their internet usage habits and the number of devices connected during peak usage times, between 7pm and 11pm.

“People should then speak with a phone or internet provider about the right speed plan for their household’s needs, as well as what typical speeds they can expect during the busy evening period, before placing an order to connect to services over the NBN access network.”

People can find out whether they are eligible to connect to the NBN by using the ‘check your address’ function on website www.nbn.com.au/switch.
