Description

Australians urged to upgrade to fibre optic broadband for disaster resilience. NBN Co warns that weather events, such as storms and bushfires, have disconnected one million households over the past year. Full-fibre connections are less prone to damage and can stay on during outages. Upgrades are available for free in many towns. Severe thunderstorms in South Australia showed the benefits, with fibre customers reconnected sooner than those on copper networks.
