One in three households to adopt 5G for home broadband: Telsyte report

One in three Australian households is interested in subscribing to 5G wireless services for its home internet connection, further threatening the already troubled national broadband network's rollout of fixed-line broadband, new research has found.

For younger people, who are more likely to be aware of the potential of new mobile phone technology already being rolled out nationwide, and who are more likely to be renting their house, that figure is potentially even more worrying for the NBN: 41 per cent of households would use 5G wireless services to either replace or supplement their fixed broadband, according to the Telsyte Australian Mobile Services Market Study FY2018.
