Rural and remote Australians are desperate for politicians to take their internet woes seriously, as new data shows broad support in both city and country areas for spending on the National Broadband Network.
While both major parties are taking a national broadband plan to the election, rural voters remain sceptical that those plans will deliver the internet speeds and capacity they need.
The ABC media conducted survey reveals 69 per cent of voters support an NBN that delivers faster speeds, even if it costs the Government more.
That sentiment was strongest among Labor and Greens voters but 52 per cent of Coalition voters also agreed it would be worth spending more taxpayer money to achieve faster internet.
