New research released by mobile service and broadband provider Amaysim has revealed that many Australians are struggling to understand even the basics of the National Broadband Network as it’s rolled out across Australia.
Included in the findings of the reserach:
- 83.3% of Aussies can’t name the different nbn speeds available
- 71% don’t understand what the different speeds mean
- 70.5% don’t have any idea which speed is right for their needs
- 55.4% are confused by their options
- 38.5% feel overwhelmed by the prospect of having to move to the nbnTM
- 55.2% say they are likely to stick with their current provider as changing feels ‘too hard’
