Languages to try first in Canberra

Nepali is the most common South Asian language at home in the ACT, especially in Belconnen, Gungahlin, Franklin and Phillip. Punjabi leads in Bonner, Moncrieff, Taylor and Ngunnawal, and many homes switch between Hindi and Urdu or Punjabi on the same box. Malayalam is strong in Phillip and Coombs. Infinity TV covers all 16 of its languages on the same box, including English for the kids. See Malayalam TV and all channels and languages.

Internet in Canberra

We recommend a minimum of 30–50 Mbps. Many of Canberra's newer suburbs have fibre to the home, which suits live TV well. If the router is far from the TV, a network cable or a mesh Wi-Fi system helps.
