Jimboomba residents struggling to connect to the internet are one step closer to surfing the web with speed.
Almost 2,000 premises within the area are now switched on to receive the National Broadband Network (NBN) connection.
The service availability followed the switch on of Cedar Vale and South MacLean last year.
NBN Co. Queensland Corporate Affairs Manager Kylie Lindsay said it was vital people understood the switch was not automatic to the service.
“Residents and businesses need to contact their preferred service provider and place an order to move their landline phone and internet services over the the NBN network,” she said.
“The copper wire currently servicing residents and businesses will continue to operate for the next 18 months before being disconnected and replaced by the NBN network.
“Customers do have a choice; however, they can connect to the NBN or choose to make do with mobile solutions.”
