NELSON BAY NOW NBN READY

The Communications Minister paid a visit to Port Stephens today, announcing that around 3,000 residents and businesses in Nelson Bay can now connect to the National Broadband Network.

Mitch Fifield also defended the government’s rollout approach of fibre-to-the-node.

“Because of the approach NBN is taking under this government, pursuing the multi-technology mix, it means we can roll the NBN out much faster than would have been the case,” said Communications Minister Mitch Fifield.
