NBN Co will fast-track industry discussions about multi-gigabit services, proposing three new 2Gbps products for home and business users in the fibre and HFC footprints.
NBN Co had been planning to hold discussions on multi-gigabit speeds “in the second half of this year” but said it had now brought that forward.
Multi-gigabit speeds are being given the branding ‘hyperfast’. They are proposed to include a 2000/200Mbps service on FTTP, a 2000/100Mbps service for HFC, and a 2000/500Mbps service for business fibre users.
Ultrafast upload boost
NBN Co flagged the possibility that a change to the speed range of its up to gigabit ‘ultrafast’ product could now come with a higher upload speed.
“Today, NBN Co confirmed that it would be feasible to double the upload speed of this product (rather than providing an upload speed range) and is now proposing to accelerate ‘home ultrafast’ to deliver wholesale speeds of ~1000/100 Mbps,” it said in a statement.
