My question is to the Prime Minister. What is the average download speed for household connections on the Prime Minister's copper NBN?

I can tell the honourable member that the vast majority of customers on the NBN, regardless of technology, buy products with speed tiers of 25 megabits per second or less. I can say to the honourable member that the rollout of the NBN, which is going at a pace never seen before in telecommunications history in Australia, is delivering years sooner, six to eight years sooner, and at tens of billions of dollars less. We're getting on with an NBN. We are activating more premises in a month than the Labor Party did in six years. The Labor Party can't manage an economy, they can't manage a business and they certainly can't manage the construction of a giant project like the NBN.
