Welcome to BroadbandNow

BroadbandNow is a customer information service to help consumers access broadband, the options available to them and how to get connected.

Broadband is a term used to describe fast, ‘always-on’ access to the internet. This means having faster access to better multimedia services and applications, bigger data files and new communication services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP).

With so many Australians having access to broadband, it is important that consumers have access to the most up to date broadband information in a centralised location.

BroadbandNow has information for consumers on broadband issues such as:

  • obtaining access to broadband;
  • availability of broadband service options in specific local areas;
  • what the various available technologies mean for consumers; and
  • the eligibility for Australian Government assistance under programs such as the Australian Broadband Guarantee.

The Australia Connected initiative aims to support universal access to metro-comparable broadband services across Australia through a number of Australian Government broadband initiatives, including the This link will take you to another website Australian Broadband Guarantee.
