LABOR is warning of a digital divide if Tony Abbott is elected Prime Minister as it unveils a new list of one million homes that will secure broadband under an updated rollout plan.

Queensland households to see the NBN in their streets include regional centres such as Bowen, Childers, Gympie and Ingham as well as Brisbane suburbs such as Coorparoo, Albany Creek and Sherwood.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has warned the new households and businesses will have their connections cancelled under a Coalition government or be forced to pay up to $5000 for a connection.

But the Coalition has dismissed the roll-out plans as a "sick joke" on the grounds the NBN has failed to meet previous rollout targets.

Under the plan, an additional 406,100 premises nationwide will be included in the NBN rollout including 255,700 in Queensland

"These are 1.3 million homes and businesses that under Tony Abbott will have the construction of the NBN cancelled, and be forced to pay $5000 or be left disconnected from Labor's NBN," Senator Stephen Conroy said.

"Tony Abbott's plan to leave millions of Australians disconnected from Labor's NBN will create a digital divide in every suburb.

"Our internet needs are growing and we simply can't rely on the ageing copper network that was designed for telephones, not high-speed broadband.

"By the time today's year 7 students finish high school their household's internet needs will have increased six-fold. We need the NBN to meet our needs now and into the future."

Albany Creek dad and businessman Michael Fitzgerald said the family were looking forward to faster internet.

The technology-dependant family of four run at least five computer devices, including desktops, laptops and an iPad from their Wivenhoe Ave home and rack up their fair share of internet usage.

Mr Fitzgerald, whose home office serves as the engine room of his building business, said while he wasn't certain how the rollout would work, anything that sped up existing technology would make life easier.

"The software package that I use is all on line and I'm always using it so it would definitely improve things if it was faster," he said.

"With the kids at school as well it's just something that you have to have these days."

With 14-year-old Brooke now accessing much of her homework online and 11-year-old Molly rapidly approaching high school, the older sister said she was looking forward to test-driving the new technology.

She said an increasing amount of her school work was done via the internet.

"It's good news because fast internet is just great," she said.

"I use it a fair bit at the moment for Facebook and Instagram and those things."

Only 50,000 premises are currently using the NBN.

While Malcolm Turnbull has agreed to honour existing contracts, the wishlist of suburbs to secure broadband under the three-year plan are not contracted and may never be hooked up to the NBN.

The Coalition's broadband policy only budgets for the completion of 565,000 fibre-to-the-home connections.
