New NBN HFC connections halted for 6+ months

NBN_Masterbrand_Australia_Descriptor_NOTAGLINE_Landscape_CMYK

NBN has halted all new NBN HFC connections ‘effective immediately’. The decision came as a result of numerous complaints of poor service, low speeds and dropouts. With only 10% of HFC-ready households already connected, this delay will most likely push back NBN’s completion date from 2020.

The current state of NBN is messy, it’s common for connections to take longer than 2 months to complete. It may sound best not to switch over but unfortunately NBN Co shuts off non-NBN connections after 18 months (I.E Your ADSL/Cable won’t work after 18 months of NBN being available in the area). Eventually everyone will have to switch to the NBN.

For more information on what days the depot is open or to find out more about how to recycle your e-waste read this brochure from the City of Sydney’s website. Or visit Planet Ark’s website for your closest recycling facility. 2) Invest in long-lasting appliances and maintain them so you get a longer-life out of them: “You can save money and reduce energy use by buying the right appliance for your needs and using it efficiently. The position of the appliance, how you operate it and how you maintain it all affects how much energy is used – for example, placing your refrigerator next to your oven will make it work [&hellip
