Hundreds of thousands of Australians are set to receive free or subsidised full-fibre internet upgrades in coming years.
Key points:
Full fibre allows the fastest download and upload speeds
NBN Co already allows some people to pay for their own fibre upgrades, but it will also offer free upgrades in coming years
But that has not stopped tens of thousands of Australians yearning for fast internet from asking NBN Co how much an immediate upgrade costs, including 8,000 in the past week alone.
