I welcome the news that Telstra identified poor broadband speeds in Strathalbyn and that it undertook an outage earlier this month to upgrade the exchange.

 

A number of constituents from the region contacted my office expressing their concerns with the exchange and speeds, particularly at times of peak usage.

 

After contacting Telstra on their behalf, I was pleased to hear upgrade work would be completed and that residents should expect faster internet. 

 

Critical at both work and home, keeping up with the ever-growing digital economy can be a challenge and no matter where you live, broadband should be an efficient service available to all.

 

This is a good outcome for the community and I will continue to monitor its progress to ensure faster speeds continue to be received.
