LABOR Senator for Queensland John Hogg says the Coalition has "pulled the plug on Bundaberg residents" as it terminates the National Broadband Network's (NBN) rollout in the region.

But Member for Hinkler Keith Pitt sought to reassure people in the region that the Federal Government was committed to completing the construction of the NBN.

Earlier in the week NBN Co - the company responsible for rolling out broadband across Australia - updated its rollout maps removing thousands of homes and businesses that were scheduled to be connected to fibre to the home.

Senator Hogg said the Coalition was denying thousands of people in the Bundaberg region, access to educational, health, lifestyle and commercial opportunities.

"Overnight, Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull have pulled the plug on Bundaberg residents and business receiving fibre-to-the-home broadband services," he said.

"This is despite the fact that under Labor, Bundaberg was scheduled to receive fibre connections in the coming months."

Mr Hogg said residents would be left with second-rate technology as a result.

"People of Bundaberg were looking forward to the benefits and opportunities that affordable, high-speed fibre broadband would bring to the area, but the Abbott Government has taken this away," he said.

"Mr Pitt needs to explain this decision to Bundaberg residents and businesses."

However, Mr Pitt said the changes to the rollout map were being misinterpreted.

"There has been concern that some areas will no longer have access to the NBN with recent changes to the roll-out map," he said.

"But these changes simply represent a better picture of what areas are complete and what areas are actually under construction, not what areas are being planned."

Mr Pitt said although some areas in Hinkler had been previously displayed on the NBN Co's website as areas where "construction was completed or commenced", that did not mean fibre had been laid.

"On the contrary, the previous Government had stated areas as under construction, even if only a meeting had occurred with the local council," he said.

"I understand that this represents a change in the perceived timeframe in the area of Hinkler but as explained, all Australians will receive the NBN."

But former Labor candidate for Hinkler Leanne Donaldson said prior to the federal election, the Coalition said it would honour all existing contracts under Labor's broadband rollout.

"This represented a significant portion of the Bundaberg area, which was already contracted and either under construction, or scoping works had been started," she said.

"To turn around now and say these thousands of homes, schools and businesses won't get the benefit of fibre to the home is disingenuous.

"To decide some people in Bundaberg can have fibre to the home and the rest can't, shows this government's contempt for regional Queensland and for Bundaberg itself."

The Federal Government announced last month, that a 60-day strategic review of NBN Co was taking place to ascertain the status of the broadband project.
