nbn Fixed Wireless tower upgrade work scheduled for Ambergate, West Busselton, and Yallingup

Upgrades will be made to the nbn Fixed Wireless network towers in West Busselton Ambergate and Yallingup East in the next four to six weeks. This work is part of the $750 million investment in the nbn Fixed Wireless and nbn Sky Muster satellite network with $480m having come from the Australian Government and $270 million from nbn. The upgrade work aims at providing access to faster internet speeds and extending coverage of the network, but will require planned outages that will impact homes and businesses and their ability to use their nbn service. Head of nbn Local WA Naomi Evans said that the outages were critical to the success of the upgrade program. “We encourage people to check the nbn website and watch out for communication from their retail service provider about how the planned outages may impact them,” she said. “We are asking the community to prepare for these outages and have back up connectivity if they need it. “After the tower works are completed, we expect that faster download speeds during the busy period will become available across the nbn Fixed Wireless network.”
