Launched by the NBN in September, the product promises to deliver faster broadband internet via a fibre-optic cable that connects to a neighbourhood node, using copper lines.
Doubleview is the first suburb to receive the new technology north of the river.
Stirling MHR Michael Keenan said the release of the new technology was part of the Federal Government’s commitment to delivering the NBN network to as many homes as possible in the next few years.

“We expect these homes in the Stirling electorate will start to be able to connect to the NBN network towards the middle of next year.”
The Government’s three-year plan brings the total number of homes and businesses in WA with NBN access or where construction has started on NBN by September 2018 to about 970,000.
There will be a progressive roll out in Mirrabooka, Balga, Innaloo, Karrinyup, Stirling, Carine and Waterman’s Bay from 2017 onwards.
