Wicks welcomes broadband monitoring

Federal Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks, has welcomed the announcement of a new program that will give consumers greater information on their NBN service.

Ms Wicks, who chairs the Federal Parliament's Joint Standing Committee on the National Broadband Network, said the program would be known as the Broadband Performance Monitoring and Reporting program.

It would be implemented by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

"The program will source performance data from around 4000 volunteer customers of retail service providers across the country," she said.

The ACCC would shortly be recruiting householders using the NBN fixed-line network to take part in the program.
