NBN fibre: activations accelerated as footprint expanded

38% at 12Mbps, 38% at 25Mbps

> Users still default to lower speeds on connection, with only 19 per cent taking the 100 / 40 Mbps product compared to 38 per cent on each of 12 / 1 Mbps and 25 / 5 Mbps, but user downloads are growing.

Based on these numbers a minimum 76% of customers won't notice a difference between FTTN & FTTP roll outs. If we assume that the majority of those people keen for faster speeds have connected within weeks of the service being available, then this percentage on slower plans is likely to rise.

Even if Labor had been re-elected, it is clear from these numbers that they would have failed at creating a revolution in internet speeds for all Australians. Possibly this is because Labor's original plan was for FTTN and only changed when Telstra wouldn't negotiate.
