Work from Home towns in NSW

So, this whole ‘work from home’ thing is working out OK yeah?

What if you wanted to get out of the city centre, out of Sydney and move to a ‘more’ country location and keep working as if you were in the room next door?

Good internet is a must. And there is only one worthwhile technology: Fibre to the Premises (FTTP). Anything else is just a waste of time.

Why the NBN got junked and turned into a hodge-podge of outdated technologies is definitely beyond the scope of this article. So, let’s keep things positive and consider places around NSW which have a large amount of fibre for that sweet-sweet gigabit connection potential!

Casting my eyes across the NBN MTM rollout map, I see the following places have decent connections:

• Armidale
• Bomaderry
• Bombo
• Coffs Harbour
• Corrimal
• Dapto
• Googong
• Gungahlin (technically ACT)
• Jambaroo
• Kiama
• Kiama Downs
• Korora
• Minnamurra
• Nowra
• Queanbeyan
• Sawtell
• Shellharbour
• South Maitland
• Taree
• The Entrance
• Toormina

There’s a fair few more subdivisions around the state and some new areas which also have FTTP, but I won’t go into too much detail listing those here. I wanted to focus on the places which have a majority of FTTP available and where you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a great connection.

Kiama is probably the standout option here, with a train connection back to Sydney and a lovely village feel. The train ride is a tad over 2 hours, which is not bad considering the distance travelled and could be tolerable once or twice a week.

Where would you move to?
