TWEED MP Geoff Provest says the roll-out of the National Broadband Network (NBN) has been too slow in the Tweed Shire and the existing poor internet speeds were negatively impacting the region.

The issue is top of the list for many Tweed residents, who flooded the Tweed Daily News Facebook page within hours last week criticising the poor internet access in the region, despite our close proximity to south-east Queensland.

The feedback comes as the Tweed Daily News joins the national Fair Go campaign calling for improved services in the regions, with digital access a top priority.

Mr Provest said the situation was inhibiting job creation and creativity in the region.

"I initially had the view that NBN would greatly assist in employment opportunities support the creative and IT sphere," he said.

"Certain areas have got it, like Nunderi, and they speak very highly of it.

"And yet in most of our areas we have a really slow current internet speed.

"Look at Kingscliff TAFE; the oversubscribed courses are in IT and multimedia, so there is a demand there but I don't feel it's being done quick enough.

"And I think the Tweed is suffering in many regards to only have it in select areas and to still have really poor internet speeds.

"We could encourage more businesses to come here if we had those speeds."

According to the official roll-out plan, Hastings Point, Kingscliff, Terranora and Tweed Heads should have the NBN by June this year.

NBN's state corporate affairs advisor for NSW/ACT Marcela Balart said there were currently more than 12,000 residents and businesses in the Tweed Shire who were already able to connect to the NBN through the fixed wireless network,"making it one of the most connected communities to the network".

Ms Balart said areas around Kingscliff, Murwillumbah, Terranora, parts of Fingal Head, Tweed Heads West and Tweed Heads South were well connected at this point.

She said construction was expected to begin in the coming weeks to connect more than 30,000 homes and businesses in the Tweed area.

This includes parts of Banora Point, Bilinga, Coolangatta, Fingal Head, Tweed Heads, Tweed Heads South, Tweed Heads West, Hastings Point, Pottsville and Murwillumbah.

"The network is rolled out in modules which means people will progressively be able to access fast and reliable broadband through the NBN's fixed line network towards the end of 2016," Ms Balart said.

But it seems NBN doesn't necessarily solve all your connectivity problems.

Brays Creek residents Martha and Terry Turner were connected to the NBN via wireless in February but said their service can be patchy: "Sometimes it randomly crashes," Mrs Turner said.
