The coalition government is working very closely with NBN Co to ensure that all regional Australians stay connected during this very challenging period. NBN Co is providing an additional 45 gigabytes of data for each standard Sky Muster plan until the end of August. This effectively doubles the average monthly data limit. They've also established a $150 million financial relief and assistance fund to support customers affected by the pandemic. This includes $50 million to help low-income households with school-age children to access the internet.

These initiatives are working. There are now more than 100,000 Australian homes and also businesses who are receiving faster broadband over Sky Muster satellite services.
