NBN Co has put $5.2 million in “relief credit” on the table for retail service providers to mitigate the increasing bandwidth costs of recent COVID-19 lockdowns.
The broadband builder will offer a credit payment on a proportional basis to eligible retailers and claims it will reduce additional wholesale data overage costs brought on by an increase in usage during the peak evening hours while ensuring they can maintain customers’ download speeds.
The announcement follows the end of recent lockdowns in South Australia and Victoria and comes as NSW looks set for another month locked down.
