WORK started last week on upgrades to seven Loddon fixed wireless internet towers.
Seven towers at Wedderburn, Inglewood, Serpentine, Pyramid Hill, Boort and Korong Vale will be boosted to have faster speeds and extended coverage areas.
However, NBN Co said the works will mean “some homes and small businesses in the area may experience impact to their NBN service over the coming months”.
The broadband company said it was looking to minimise service interruptions by migrating users over to temporary connections.
“However there are occasions when towers may be taken offline and we appreciate the community’s patience while the work is underway. Impacted homes and businesses may have been notified of outages via their retail service provider.”
Works will not impact NBN fixed line users or NBN Sky Muster satellite services.
NBN Local Victoria head Emily Peel said: “We are excited to have begun work upgrading the NBN Fixed Wireless network in Loddon, which will be a game changer for up to a million households and businesses across Australia.
“After the tower works are completed, we expect that faster download speeds during the busy period will become available across the NBN fixed wireless network,” Ms Peel said on Monday.
