New wholesale discount bundles for businesses over the fixed line nbn™ broadband access network, and the business nbn™ solution finder online tool were launched earlier week.
Why is this important for Australian businesses?
NBN Co’s Paul Tyler, Chief Customer Officer, shares, “Australia is a nation of growing businesses and we want to give all businesses confidence they are on the right broadband plan to service their unique business needs. The business nbn™ solution finder is an easy to use online tool that will help businesses order the most suitable business-grade solution available from their internet provider.”
“For businesses of all sizes, it’s important they select the appropriate business nbn™ solution to meet their needs, including the right speeds, committed bandwidth and service level assurance.”
Australian businesses and internet providers research found that many businesses may not be connected to the right broadband plan to meet their needs. Around two thirds of micro businesses (1-4 employees) operate from residential premises and more than three quarters of those are currently using a residential plan rather than a plan designed for business purposes such as video conferencing, video surveillance, access to remote back-ups and cloud application software.
