Businesses on Tasmania's west coast are joining forces to demand the region continue to be part of the fibre rollout for the National Broadband Network.

The local council, business and community groups vowed to mobilise the community and industry leaders to lobby the Federal Government to overturn a decision to service the region with the NBN satellite service.

While most of Tasmania is scheduled to receive fibre to the node, the west coast will now be serviced by the new NBN Sky Muster satellite service.

The Queenstown Business Group founder Adam Mostogl said the group was distributing a petition to go to Federal Parliament, to highlight concerns about how a satellite service may stunt economic growth.

"It won't meet the needs and the demands of the future," he said.

"We want to diversify our region, we want to create new opportunities and we understand technology is core part of that.

"We don't see that the satellite connection is actually going to deliver on the things that we need.

"Being an isolated region we need to tap into services that are offered in other places."

The west coast region has been trying to rebuild its economy after the Mount Lyell copper mine was mothballed last year.

NBNCo said the fastest way to connect the west coast to the internet was via satellite.

It said using a fibre connection would take years to connect and the satellite service would be three times faster than current ADSL services.
