The coalition government has committed to completing the NBN and ensuring that every Australian home and business has access to fast broadband as soon as possible at affordable prices and at least cost to taxpayers. The government's statement of expectations to NBN is explicit in requiring that all premises in Australia will have access to fast broadband of at least 25 megabits per second and 50 megabits per second for 90 per cent of the fixed line network. The coalition government has put the NBN on track for completion by 2020. In 2013, there were up to 1.6 million premises throughout Australia which had poor or no fixed broadband connectivity. Today more than 6.2 million premises can access an NBN service.
