nbn™ reveals staggered FTTN launch date

nbn staggers FTTN commercial launch date depending on ISP’s state

nbn, the company responsible for building the National Broadband Network, has updated their website stating that the commercial launch date for their Fibre to the Node network depended on the Access Seeker’s “registered office or principle (sic) place of business is located in Queensland”.

For most access seekers, the date for commercial launch is on Friday 18 September 2015.  For access seekers located in Queensland, the commercial launch date is on the Monday after – on 21 September 2015 (or as advised by NBN Co).

The company has not indicated on their website why the date was staggered across the weekend for the different states.

  • nbn™ announced a cash-splash to try and get enough trained techs to install its fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) network. Why there’s a delay? Thinking on the bright side these communities are still hoping to benefit from the network.
