The Australian Government’s Metro Broadband Connect is a three-year $50 million initiative to improve access to broadband services in metropolitan Australia. The program will target people unable to access broadband services at prices similar to those available to the majority of metropolitan customers.
Metro Broadband Connect is part of the Government's $1.1 billion Connect Australia package.
