Per the article in AFN dated 10 Feb 2021 in regards to the NBN growing its client account database. “It said this was largely due to the shrinking subscriber costs to Telstra and Optus \u2013 legacy payments made to disconnect their existing customers so as to migrate them over to the NBN. Where NBN Co shelled out $1.44 billion in the first half of last financial year, it forked out only $809 million this time.”<\/p>\n

Since April 2018 we have seen much of the new NBN become superfluous in Australia, with the fast rollout of the 5G networks by many competing providers.<\/p>\n

One big benefit that comes with using the fixed line service versus the 5G mobile service, is that services like the NBN can provide its users with the ability to provide a fixed static IP address which is an important feature for many business users. Mobile services may not offer this.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, let it rip and negotiate the best 5G deal you can. It\u2019s a buyer market as companies like Telstra, will try to hold and maintain market share. For the time being, growing their market share might be all but impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n
