Increased Data Allowances for NBN Sky Muster Services

NBN Co has unveiled new measures to support increasing capacity and data demand for nbn satellite services in regional and remote Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are offering these new measures to support retail service providers (RSPs) in passing on these benefits to their customers.

“Over the coming days and weeks, we are expecting a higher number of people in regional and remote communities across Australia to work from home and more children to be remotely school. In preparation for this greater demand for data and based on feedback from internet retailers and customers, we have decided to take this action to provide additional support for that expected increase in day-time usage expected to increase due to increased activity on the network. “ said Gavin Williams, NBN Co Chief Development Officer, Rural and Regional.

“Our enhanced nbn Sky Muster Plus plans will help Australians be more in touch with loved ones, work remotely, use internet banking, and access important health and education services. nbn will continue to closely monitor data usage together with internet retailers, and will seek to implement any additional measures required where available including monitoring of the peak times, to support customers during these uncertain times.

Customers on standard nbn Sky Muster services will have their data download limits increased significantly, while for customers on nbn Sky Muster™ Plus services, nbn will implement an increased range of applications that will not count towards monthly data quotas.
