Vote Compass: Majority of Australians want faster NBN, even if it costs more

Rural and remote Australians are desperate for politicians to take their internet woes seriously, as new data shows broad support in both city and country areas for spending on the National Broadband Network. The ABC's Vote Compass reveals 69 per cent of voters support an NBN that delivers faster speeds, even if it costs the Government more. Of 13,000 regional Australians surveyed, 48 per cent reported that their internet was "very poor". "If people report having good access to internet, they're typically also reporting much better economic conditions in their community." Unreliable internet 'holds agriculture back' The Vote Compass results suggest both city and country people strongly support a faster NBN, even if it costs more.
