The National Broadband Network (nbn\u2122)<\/a> has been called the digital future of Australia, but what is it and how does it work?<\/p>\n

There are over 20 million Internet users<\/a> in this country – that\u2019s almost 86 percent of the population, so critical changes in how things are done matters to Australian consumers.<\/p>\n

Understanding how the nbn\u2122 works and what it means for your home or business is a crucial first step in getting the most from your service.<\/p>\n

If you want to get the most from the nbn\u2122, start by answering the question, \u201cHow does the nbn\u2122 work?\u201d<\/em>\n

What is the National Broadband Network?<\/h2>\n

The National Broadband Network or nbn\u2122 is Australia\u2019s national data network project. In other words, it is how you get high-speed broadband connections at home and at work. The nbn\u2122 is government owned and operated and a wholesale open access system that service providers connect to in order to provide high-speed broadband access to customers.<\/p>\n

Why do we need the nbn\u2122?<\/h2>\n

The existing national infrastructure for telecommunications is becoming vintage. By rolling out the nbn\u2122, the Australian government is upgrading the data network to improve both phone and Internet service.<\/p>\n

The nbn\u2122 is one of the largest infrastructure projects anywhere in the world. That\u2019s saying something when you consider how expansive the World Wide Web is around the globe. The majority of residents living in Australia are packed into one small section of the country, so some (outside of this bubble) miss out on reliable or affordable internet.<\/p>\n

The nbn\u2122 provides high-speed access to the entire population. That\u2019s something even large countries like the United States have not managed to do yet.<\/p>\n
