Understanding Your NBN Connection

💡 Quick Tips for Australian Users

  • Test regularly: Run speed tests weekly at different times to understand your NBN connection's typical performance and identify patterns.
  • Use ethernet for accuracy: Wired connections give you true speed measurements without WiFi interference affecting results.
  • Document issues: Keep records of slow speeds with dates and times when contacting your ISP for support. ACCC requires ISPs to investigate speed issues.
  • Understand peak hours: Slower speeds during evening hours (7-11 PM) are common due to network congestion, but shouldn't be drastic.
  • Know your NBN tier: Verify what speeds you're paying for (NBN 50, NBN 100, etc.) and expect 70-95% of advertised speeds under good conditions.
