Australian women who have access to the NBN are up to 23 times more likely to start their own business at home, an analysis of 10 million households has found.

The new figures will be released by NBN Co on the same day as the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman will reveal it has received 22,827 complaints about retail services delivered over the NBN.

Outgoing NBN Co chief executive Bill Morrow will look to downplay negative public perception on Tuesday in a speech to the National Press Club saying that in percentage terms the results of female business growth "are stunning".

"The number of self-employed women in NBN regions grew at an average 2.3 per cent every year, compared to just 0.1 per cent annual average growth in female entrepreneurs in non-NBN areas," he said.
