Demand for data on the National Broadband Network remains above pre-COVID-19 levels, with downloads on the network at peak levels, according to the latest report from the operator of the network, NBN Co.

Australia’s telecoms industry association, the Telecommunications Society (TelSoc), has raised serious concerns over the planned sacking of hundreds of employees by NBN Co, describing the move as a “misstep” by the company.

Steps taken by NBN Co and service providers meant that broadband speeds and connectivity held up well during May 2020 despite a big increase in the use of video conferencing and streaming services due to COVID-19, according to the ACCC.
