Tony Abbott is amazed to know that the introduction of fibre-optic cables will increase the broadband speed manifolds.

Labor's National Broadband Network is working towards a new technology that will boost up the broadband speed to a gigabit per second. It means that the speed will be 10 times more than the existing speed.

It is noteworthy that NBN is investing a whopping $43 billion in this new project.

Experts at Japanese TELCO NTT were able to transmit 69.1 terabits per second speed through a single optical fibre of 240 km.

Optical Fibres have a very high speed quality that is why TELCO uses such fibers for its broadband services.

XGPON will be NBN’s next-level broadband speed. This new technology will raise the bandwidth speed to 10 gigabits split among 32 premises.

This increased speed in the Australian NBN will allow to gather data at a very high speed, but the speed will drastically decrease when these fibre-optic cables will run through underwater.

In order to maintain the regular high speed, NBN access providers will have to construct big local reserves for the overseas data.

Hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) networks made by Optus and Telstra Companies for cable TV can be used to have even more high bandwidth speed.
