With the wet season approaching, nbn is encouraging residents and businesses across Ingham to check whether a full fibre connection is available to them and act before the weather arrives.  

‍

Where available, a nbn full fibre via Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) can provide more reliable connectivity than a legacy copper-based connection and is less vulnerable to environmental damage or water ingress.  

‍

nbn technicians have been busy laying fibre in Ingham, and many homes and businesses across Ingham are already eligible to upgrade now to nbn’s most reliable, resilient and fastest residential connection.

Kylie Lindsay, Head of nbn Local Queensland, said reliable and resilient communications were particularly important in the lead-up to, during and after the natural disasters the region faces.

‍

“Queenslanders are familiar with preparing their homes, emergency kits and evacuation plans ahead of the wet season, but it is equally important to think about what you can do to stay connected to emergency information, essential services and loved ones.”

‍

“Fibre offers the most reliable nbn connection and is helping our network to become more resilient to the effects of extreme weather. This means fewer faults, faster restoration times and more consistent connectivity in more places.”

“We know from experience that reliable connectivity is essential before, during and after severe weather. It helps people receive emergency warnings, access important information and services, check on family and friends, and keep local businesses operating.

‍

“I encourage residents and businesses not to wait until a cyclone or flood is on the horizon. Preparing early could be invaluable to help families, businesses and the wider community stay informed and connected when conditions deteriorate.”
