Exploring the option for an alternative NBN network provider for Southbank Grand
Your Owners Corporation Committee is currently exploring an opportunity to enhance internet connectivity within Southbank Grand by introducing an additional fibre network to the building.
The objective is to provide residents with a reliable alternative to the NBN, improving overall connectivity while offering greater choice of internet providers.
What this means for residents:
- A potential second, independent fibre network within the building
- Access to high-speed, reliable fibre connectivity
- Improved overall resilience and redundancy
Why your participation matters
Resident interest will play an important role in determining whether the network installation moves forward.
The more residents who register their interest, the stronger the Committee’s understanding of demand within the building.
Registering your interest does not commit you to a service — it simply helps determine whether this opportunity should proceed.
Better value for residents
In addition to improved connectivity, the proposed network could give residents access to Pineapple Net’s competitively priced fibre plans — helping reduce monthly internet costs without compromising on speed or reliability.
Plans would start from $59^ per month.
