Despite the fact the federal opposition has announced its plans to change the NBN rollout from a fibre to the premise network to a fibre to the node network should it win September's election, it's still business as usual for NBN Co.
The company has announced its plans to add another 1.3 million homes and businesses to the network by the middle of 2016. Those additional locations will take the total of connected premises to 4.85 million by June 2016.
Currently, there are 50,000 people connected to the NBN with construction having commenced or been completed at just under a million homes, businesses, schools and hospitals around the country.
It just keeps rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
Of the locations to be added to the rollout, almost a third are located in NSW, with Victoria accounting for under a quarter, as you can see from the rollout specifics below:
"By 30 June 2016, 4.8 million homes, business, schools and hospitals will see construction commence or be complete, including:
