Australians will have access to much faster internet speed plans under a proposal by the NBN.
The plan will see the 100Mbps speed plan leap from a download speed of 100 Megabits per second and an upload speed of 20 Megabits per second to a 500Mbps download and 50Mbps upload speed. The fivefold speed increase for one of the most popular plans on the NBN has the potential to lift Australia's ranking on the global speed charts from the doldrums to a more respectable place, well into the top 50.
Today, the average home connects 22 devices, uses 10-times more data every month, and has more streaming services available than the average person can list.says "despite this explosion in data usage, many customers have remained on the same broadband plan for years. Our network monitoring suggests that some customers are potentially hitting their maximum speed on a regular basis. These customers may enjoy a better internet experience on a faster speed tier.
"Reliable, quality, high-speed internet is not a luxury or nice-to-have: it is essential 21st century infrastructure."
