Fastest NBN FAQs

Since 2018, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has been independently speed-testing Australian NBN connections. The resulting quarterly report, Measuring Broadband Australia, details the average speed of connections offered by major providers during peak hours.

The report covers 12 major providers - Aussie Broadband, Dodo, Exetel, iiNet, iPrimus, Launtel, Leaptel, Optus, Superloop, Telstra, TPG, and Vodafone. The most recent Measuring Broadband Australia report was released in June 2024 and covers testing from all of March and early April. Here's how the providers stacked up:

5 fastest NBN providers: How do they compare?

Now you know what speeds you can expect from the major NBN providers, how do their internet plans compare? Here's a selection of unlimited NBN plans from the five fastest providers covered by the ACCC Measuring Broadband Australia performance report. (Well, technically six, because Dodo and iPrimus tied.)

We've shown providers in order of peak hour speed performance. We've included plans with NBN 50 or NBN 100 speeds as a starting point, as they're available to most households.

An NBN 50 plan should be fast enough to service smaller households, while NBN 100 plans are best suited to households of four or more, those who regularly download or upload large files, or anyone with multiple connected devices at home.

We've also included NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans offered, but they're only available to those with FTTP or HFC NBN connections.

Aussie Broadband, Optus, More, Tangerine, Dodo, and iPrimus are a little slower at 245Mbps during peak hours. That 5Mbps shouldn't make a significant difference, however.

NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans are only available to those with FTTP or HFC NBN connection types.

How can I speed up my internet?

There are a few key ways to speed up your internet. The first is changing your plan. If you're on an NBN 50 plan and have added a bunch of new devices to your house, it might be time to upgrade to NBN 100.

If you're already on the maximum speed tier your connection allows, you could shop around for providers with better typical evening speeds. For example, some NBN 100 providers report typical evening speeds of around 90Mbps, while others report 100Mbps. The difference between typical evening speeds can become more significant when you look at NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans.

If you're already on a fast plan but you don't feel like it's delivering on speed, there could be issues with your hardware at home. If you're on a high-speed plan, you need a fast enough modem to match. You'll ideally want something with WiFi 6.

Who is the fastest internet provider in Australia?

According to the ACCC, Exetel is the fastest internet provider in Australia when it comes to delivering on the speeds promised by its NBN plans. Swoop currently has the fastest NBN 1000 plan in the WhistleOut database, reporting typical evening speeds of 969Mbps.

What internet speeds do NBN 50 plans actually deliver?

As of April 2024, the average typical evening speed reported by the ACCC for fixed-line NBN 50 plans was approximately 50.65Mbps.

What internet speeds should you expect on NBN 100 plans?

As of December 2024, the average typical evening speed reported by the ACCC for fixed-line NBN 100 plans was approximately 97.7Mbps.

Why does the ACCC say some providers achieve over 100% of the maximum speed?

NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans are technically capable of achieving faster than the maximum speed tiers these plans allow. NBN Co overprovisions download speeds on these tiers by 10 to 15%. This is intended to counterbalance the bandwidth used in delivering a service. Without overprovisioning, NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans would rarely be able to hit 50Mbps or 100Mbps, respectively.
