"Those who rely on a fixed wireless connection in Bridgetown for their internet services are being warned there could be disruptions as part of upgrades to improve internet speeds. Work has begun on improvements to NBN’s Bridgetown South tower, which are designed to meet growing data needs within the community. As part of the upgrades, there will be some planned outages which could disrupt the ability of households and businesses using their NBN services while the work is completed. NBN WA head Naomi Evans said there was increasing demand for faster internet across the country and the Federal Government-owned utility provider was seeking to stay ahead of demand. “These tower works are critical to the delivery of our program but will mean some planned outages that may affect homes and businesses and their ability to use their NBN service while the work is under way,” she said. “After the tower works are completed, we expect that faster download speeds during the busy period will become available across the NBN Fixed Wireless network. “We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate the community’s patience while the work is under way.” The works will not impact those in the Bridgetown area who rely on fixed line or Sky Muster satellite services."
