Factors that may affect your nbn® speed and connection

Some factors only apply to specific types of nbn connections.

Factor	nbn Wireless	nbn FTTB/N & nbn FTTC	nbn FTTP & nbn HFC
The quality of your modem, cables and devices Older devices may not support the newer types of WiFi. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for information about your device’s capabilities. Any damaged devices or Ethernet cables should be repaired or replaced.
Network Congestion Speed may be slower during periods of congestion, like when more people are using the network in the evening.
Weather Extreme heat or rain in your area or at the nbn Wireless base station can affect the speed of your service.
WiFi signal interference The quality of your WiFi signal may vary due to the number of devices you have connected, distance from your modem, the location of your modem, the type of WiFi network (5GHz vs. 2.4GHz WiFi) and any obstacles between your devices and your modem. Learn how to improve your WiFi signal.
How many devices you have connected When too many devices are being used at the same time, particularly for large downloads or HD/4K streaming, there may not be enough bandwidth to go around. This can limit the flow of data flow for all devices and cause slow speeds.
Which content is being accessed Particular issues may affect a specific website or online game, such as insufficient server capacity.
nbn® Infrastructure Your speed can be affected by the quality and location of nbn® infrastructure, such as: The length and quality of copper cables used to connect your premises to the nbn hub for nbn FTTB/FTTN & nbn FTTC. The quality and location of an nbn Wireless antenna.
nbn® Wireless Signal interference Coverage may vary due to the nature of radio-based mobile networks. The signal may also be affected by the distance and line of sight from the network base station, building materials, and geographic features like hills, buildings and trees.
nbn® Wireless Fair Use Policy Enforcement If your nbn Wireless usage falls within certain parameters set by nbn®, your service may be impacted by nbn®’s enforcement of their Fair Use Policy. This means you may experience slower download or upload speeds from time to time, depending on your usage, the time of day and the type of apps you’re using.
Latency Latency is the amount of time it takes for data packets to go from one place to another on an internet connection, which is important for ultra-time-sensitive apps like multiplayer shooting games. nbn Wireless may not be suitable for online gaming. Large files might be slow to load.
