Eligible residential homes and businesses in Yarra Glen can now connect to faster internet speeds through the nbn® Fibre Connect program.

Fibre to the Premises is nbn’s fastest and most reliable residential connection on the nbn® network. It can deliver wholesale download speeds of close to 1 Gbps, which can support things like simultaneous streaming of high-definition video, faster downloading and uploading of large files.

Joe Lathan, nbn Executive General Manager Customer Experience and Products, said with more connected devices than ever before, there is increasing demand for faster and reliable internet from homes and businesses.

“The demand for faster and more reliable internet is the highest we’ve ever seen. as the way they use technology continues to evolve,” he said.

“This is being driven by trends such as hybrid work and study arrangements and an increase in online entertainment, such as streaming services and gaming, across multiple devices.”

People can access the Fibre Connect program through three simple steps:
