The nbn™ network is one of the most advanced technology projects in Australian history – but understanding how it gets to you is easy. Here’s a step by step guide illustrating how it all works.
The nbn™ network comes with a choice of wholesale speeds – nbn™ 25*, nbn™ 50* and nbn™ 100*. Your phone and internet service providers offer plans and packages based on these speeds. Speak to your service provider about the nbn™ network technology and other factors that will affect your speed before choosing a package. This will ensure you have a good online experience.
For households with basic phone or internet usage, consider a retail plan based on nbn™ 12. nbn™ 12 is not considered a superfast broadband plan^ and may be similar to what many households or businesses in Australia may experience on ADSL2. Speak to your phone and internet provider about the plan that best suits your needs.
*nbn™ is a provider of wholesale speeds to internet service providers. Your experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ network, is determined by your service provider and the plan you choose and depends on the technology over which services are delivered to your premises and some factors outside our control (like your equipment quality and software). nbn™ wholesale speed tiers available to your internet service provider vary depending on the access technology in your area.
^Superfast means wholesale download speed above 25 Mbps as defined by the ACCC.
