New data reveals Australians ditching NBN as prices hike

New data shows thousands of Australians have ditched the NBN following recent price hikes approved by the federal government. According to the NBN’s own data, connections to existing properties fell by more than 30,000 in 2023, marking the first time the service has ever lost customers in that category. The NBN’s satellite business also lost 12 per cent of its customer base last year. It comes after retailers were given the green light to increase prices by up to 10 per cent. NBN customers can expect another price increase in July.
