What they have told you is wrong, simple as that.

93% connected by fibre, approx 4% by fixed wireless and the remainder who can not be feasibly hit by fibre or fixed wireless to be connected by the permanent satellite service. That adds up to 100%. What some muppet in a call centre may or may not have said is not relevant here. Just look up the NBN website for yourself. A pertinent link below to save you some time.

I felt strongly enough that Australia needed a reset of telecommunications policy and infrastructure and that the NBN model was the best on offer that I changed from a pretty secure job with a telco to a less secure one in a company doing significant work for NBNco to get amongst it. I know more than probably 95% of people in Australia do about the project.



If a direct link to an NBN co page stating figures that add up to 100% does not settle it in your mind that it was to have been delivered to your area under the old plan, so be it. As of the election you might well have become right. Only time will tell now.
