Are you dreaming of the day your business finally gets access to faster internet speeds? You can now find out how far off the national broadband network is,\u00a0thanks to a new search tool.<\/p>\n

NBN Co released a search function<\/a>\u00a0on Monday that allows any Australian homeowner or business to check when the national broadband network is expected to be available at their address.<\/p>\n

Once an address has been searched, users can also find out whether work on the NBN\u00a0has started and what kind of technology is planned for that area.<\/p>\n

A business can also register for updates on the rollout, based on its address.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have moved away from telling people when we\u2019ll be building in their neighbourhood to when they can contact their retailer to buy a service,\u201d\u00a0nbn chief customer officer John Simon said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change means we can better meet the interests of our retail customers as well as the Australian homes and businesses which will benefit from fast broadband services powered by the nbn\u00a0<\/b>network.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around 60,000 new homes and businesses are getting access to the broadband network each week, according to Simon.<\/p>\n

Given the intense interest in the rollout, it\u2019s hoped individuals and businesses will\u00a0be able to get a clearer picture\u00a0of when they\u00a0can expect a connection at their addresses, said Simon.<\/p>\n

However, those wanting\u00a0a specific date and time for connection might be disappointed; some addresses SmartCompany<\/em>\u00a0searched for came back with a six-month window for access to be installed, as far away as mid-2019.<\/p>\n

Each search result also comes with the following disclaimer: \u201cThis date is an estimate and could change. This technology is based on nbn\u2019s current deployment plans and is subject to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
