Connor did, however, call for NBN Co to provide greater detail on rollout timelines for Tasmania and more granular information on which premises may or may not receive FTTP connections before the rollout commenced.

A (PDF) released by the Labor party during the federal election campaign last year indicated probable locations of fibre and fixed wireless rollouts over the life of the project.

However, NBN Co's chief technology officer, Gary McLaren, told ABC Northern Tasmania radio that the exact locations of fibre equipment were yet to be finalised.

"We're now in a detailed designing phase, where we're working through with each of the local areas at a detailed level what the fibre network will look like," he said.
