ACCC extends superfast broadband agreement for further 5 years
Gives RSPs access to certain fixed-line networks where NBN doesn’t reach.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has extended its Superfast Broadband Access Service (SBAS) declaration until 2026.
The decision will allow retail service providers (RSPs) to access a number of fixed-line broadband networks while maintaining the rights of access they already have to the National Broadband Network (NBN) for a further five years.
According to the ACCC, the decision “promotes competition” in the supply of broadband services.
The SBAS declaration allows retailers to interconnect with, and obtain a carriage service over, fixed-line ‘superfast’ networks that are normally capable of download speeds of 25 Mbps or more.
