VPNs for ad-blocking One of those outside-the-home factors that has the potential to greatly impact your overall internet speed is during the internet’s busy evening period. Before we dive into NBN evening speeds, let’s take a look at this busy period first. All things being equal, NBN evening speeds are determined by three key external factors: the NBN technology type used to connect your home, the NBN plan you’ve signed up for and your NBN provider.
NBN 12 (NBN Basic I): up to 12Mbps download NBN 25 (NBN Basic II): up to 25MBps download NBN 50 (NBN Standard): up to 50Mbps download NBN 100 (NBN Fast): up to 100Mbps download NBN 250 (NBN Superfast): up to 250Mbps download NBN 1000 (NBN Ultrafast): up to 1000Mbps download
Those first four NBN plan speeds are offered to most homes in metro areas, with NBN 250 and NBN 1000 available to select Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) and all Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) homes. There aren’t many plans offered for the lowest NBN speed tier, but the good news is the four main plans offer parity between max potential download speed and typical evening speed (12Mbps).
Fixed Wireless Basic: up to 11Mbps download Fixed Wireless Standard: up to 23Mbps download Fixed Wireless Plus: up to 75Mbps download
Because overall speeds on Fixed Wireless technology are less reliable than fixed-line alternatives, NBN evening speeds may drop as low as 6Mbps. Providers aren’t required to self-report typical evening download speeds. Below is a daily updating list of the most popular Fixed Wireless NBN plans with unlimited data in our comparison engine. The table below gives you an idea of the average download speeds of the provider plans we track in our comparison engine compared to the maximum potential download speed for each NBN speed tier. Use this as a guide for determining whether providers are offering plan speeds above or below the average. Ultimately, providers aren’t required to self-report expected upload speeds for any of their plans. While that’s frustrating for those who care about upload speeds, the table below uses the ACCC upload speed percentages from the June 2021 Measuring Broadband Australia report to give you an idea of the upload speeds you can expect during the busy evening period from 10 popular providers.
