Foxtel has expanded availability of its NBN services.

The announcement:

Foxtel today announced that it has expanded availability of its nbnTM services for premises in Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB) serviceable areas across Australia.

Today’s news means more customers than ever can enjoy Foxtel’s high performance broadband, purpose built for entertainment.

Australia’s continued hunger for broadband data usage is being driven by widespread video streaming, a growing number of connected devices and more data-demanding applications.

Foxtel Broadband puts entertainment at its core and has been recognised by YouTube+ as offering a superior HD experience for video streaming. Foxtel’s nbnTM expansion reinforces Foxtel’s leadership in addressing the increased needs of today’s connected households.

Foxtel Broadband’s arrival in FTTN and FTTB serviceable areas increases our reach to more Australians than ever before.
