]]>Australians are about to get a major internet speed upgrade, but outdated home hardware could leave many households paying for speeds they’ll never see.
From September 14, government-owned NBN Co will ramp up its broadband plans, with 100Mbps tiers jumping to 500Mbps and new “mass market multi-gig” options promising up to 2000Mbps.
NBN chief executive Ellie Sweeney said the initiative, called ‘Accelerate Great’, could help unlock a $400bn economic boost by 2030.
But she warned that the long-in-the-tooth, if still functional, equipment many Australians continue to use was the biggest challenge to delivering on that promise.
“Across the board, we have customers who may not have changed out a modem for 10 years,” she noted.
A Wi-Fi 4 router bought in 2013, for example, maxes out at 100Mbps, far below the new wholesale speeds.
If you’ve got a dodgy connection, the NBN probably isn’t to blame
Even top-end Wi-Fi 7 modems can struggle with signal loss across large or multi-storey homes, raising the prospect that 8K TVs may still pixelate despite higher-cost, premium NBN plans.
“The risk is people are going to be paying for these high speeds, but they’re not going to experience it because their hardware is out of date,” Andrew O’Connor, TPG’s general manager of fixed line, told The Australian.
Research conducted by TPG highlights the problem facing telcos selling high-speed internet.
More than 80 per cent of consumers think telcos are responsible for Wi-Fi strength, with just 13 per cent recognising they need the gear that can handle a high-speed connection.
That disconnect has driven complaints and confusion, which telcos are now seeking to respond to.
For instance, Vodafone is bundling Wi-Fi 7 modems and mesh units with new NBN and 5G plans.
Likewise, Telstra is advising customers to check their hardware and offering free fibre upgrades on eligible services.

JGA South, the segment between Sydney and Piti in Guam, is being built by a consortium that comprises AARNet, Google and RTI-C. JGA North (JGA-N) between the Minami-Boso, Japan, and Piti will be owned solely by RTI-C. The two systems will interconnect in Guam.
AARNet CEO Chris Hancock said his company’s investment in JGA would complement its investment in the Indigo subsea cable system, providing connectivity into North and South-East Asia and allow Australian universities to have unconstrained access to meet the big data challenges of the future

]]>A joint standing committee on the NBN rollout made 23 recommendations. Among them, it recommends that the Australian Government direct NBN Co to complete as much as possible of the remaining fixed-line network using FttC.
It also recommends that the Government direct NBN Co to establish a regional support group for its rollout, following concerns that the “technically inferior” satellite service and “lower-grade” NBN services should only be a “last resort”.
Under NBN Co’s current corporate plan, just 1.9 million premises will be served by FttP and 1 million by FttC, while 4.6 million will have fibre to the node (FttN) or fibre to the basement (FttB), 3.1 million will have hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC), and 1 million will have satellite or fixed-wireless.
