Understanding nbn® speed tiers: what they mean for you

The way we live and work has changed

Think about how much your daily life has changed in the past decade. Ten years ago, a single laptop might have been the main device connected to your home. But today, the average household is juggling 25+ connected devices. We’ve got smart TVs, phones, tablets, consoles, security cameras, and smart speakers: all competing for bandwidth at once.

At work, it’s no different. Cloud apps, CRMs, video meetings, shared files, and hybrid teams mean a business internet connection needs to handle more than ever before.
Luckily, the nbn® network has evolved to support higher speeds. Eligible Vonex Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connections can access high-speed tiers built for the way we live and work today. Think faster downloads, sharper video calls, and more room for every device in your home or business. All with unlimited data, no lock-in contracts, and pricing that’s as clear as your new connection.
Faster speeds around Australia
Australians can access nbn® speeds that rival some of the world’s fastest broadband. These faster speeds impact how we collaborate, communicate, and scale. With faster speeds, you’ll experience:
  • Crystal clear video calls (no buffering)
  • Friction-free cloud app performance
  • Hybrid work that doesn’t collapse mid-video call
  • Faster, safer cloud backups and file sharing
  • Enough bandwidth for every device
Residential nbn® plans with Vonex
Vonex Residential nbn® plans are built for how you live online, with speed tiers that keep your home connected across streaming, gaming, and working from home. We have a plan to match the way your home connects.
Business nbn® plans: nbn® Business vs nbn® Assure

Vonex makes nbn® simple for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Every business is unique, so we offer two types of business nbn® to suit your needs:

  • nbn® Business: Includes unlimited data, static IP, bundle discounts, no lock-in contracts, and business-grade service delivery.
  • nbn® Assure: Includes all the above, plus unstoppable reliability. These plans have 4G failover built-in, giving you always-on connectivity. Perfect for healthcare, hospitality, retail, logistics, or any other business where ‘downtime’ isn’t an option.
Which technology do you need?

Not all connections are built the same. The type of nbn® technology at your premises determines the speeds your business can access, and whether you can take advantage of the boosted speed tiers.

Can I get the high-speed tiers at my business address?

If your business is connected via Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), you can access the latest high-speed tiers. These technologies support the fastest and most stable speeds available, making them ideal for cloud-based operations, hybrid teams, and data-heavy workloads.

What if I’m on FTTN, FTTC or FTTB?

FTTN, FTTC, and FTTB connections typically max out at 100/40 Mbps. The good news is, many business premises are eligible for a fibre upgrade at no extra cost, unlocking access to higher-speed tiers. You can check your business’ upgrade eligibility here.

I’m in a regional area. What about Fixed Wireless?

Regional businesses haven’t been left behind. Fixed Wireless has been significantly boosted, with options such as FW+ 100/20 and FW 250/20 delivering faster, more reliable performance than ever before. These tiers help regional teams access the connectivity they need for modern cloud tools, video meetings, and remote operations.

What high speed business nbn® means for your team
Upgrading to a high-speed business nbn® plan delivers immediate, practical benefits for your team. Cloud files sync in seconds, video calls stay consistently sharp, and large projects upload without slowing productivity.
As businesses adopt more digital tools and grow their connected ecosystems, demand on your internet will only increase. Choosing a higher speed tier ensures your operations are ready for whatever comes next.
