NBN Co has signed up12 retail service providers (RSP) to take part in customer trials, it said today.
It comes in the latest round of testing for the $36bn broadband rollout nationally.

The providers and the NBN will run the ‘test site phase’ by running preliminary tests over the network and selecting a limited number of their existing customers to take part in the trial.
“This testing phase is a critical step in building the network, working with RSPs and integrating our operating systems as we aim to provide the best possible service when commercial services commence,” head of product development and sales, Jim Hassell.
There has already been trials in Tasmania since last year and other due to begin in Armidale, NSW n the near future.
Internode managing director Simon Hackett said Internode supported the NBN as the best way to future-proof communications in Australia for the next 50 years.
“Internode is very committed to the NBN and expects to engaged with NBN Co in every new service area on the day that each service area opens up in the future,” he said.
