Australian Broadband Speed Rankings
Who's actually getting what
2026 Q3 · 30 days left in the season. Every rank is up for grabs when it resets.
Monthly champions
The provider whose customers measured closest to what they pay for, month by month. Not the fastest provider. The one that delivered what it sold.
No month has been awarded yet. A champion needs 20 results from one provider in a single month, where those people also told us their plan tier. The closest any provider has come is 3 in Aug 2026. We would rather award nothing than crown a winner on a handful of tests, because a thin sample implies losers just as loudly as it implies a winner.
State and territory
Median download speed by state. This is the board with the most data behind it right now.
| State | Median | Results |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VIC | 162.6 Mbps | 34 |
| 2 WA | 81.6 Mbps | 15 |
| 3 QLD | 72.6 Mbps | 29 |
| 4 NSW | 52.9 Mbps | 39 |
ACT and anything else below 12 results isn't shown yet.
Access technology
How your connection reaches the house makes more difference than anything else on this page.
Nothing here qualifies yet. A group needs 12 results before we'll publish it, because below that it isn't a comparison, it's an anecdote. The closest is FTTN, which needs 11 more.
Plan tier
Grouped by what people told us their plan is sold as.
| Plan tier | Median | Results |
|---|---|---|
| 1 NBN 250 | 178 Mbps | 13 |
| 2 NBN 50 | 51.8 Mbps | 12 |
NBN 100 and anything else below 12 results isn't shown yet.
Providers that deliver what they sell
The share of the advertised tier that each provider's customers actually measured. A modest plan that delivers everything ranks above a fast one that doesn't, which is the whole point of measuring it this way.
No provider is listed yet. A provider appears here once at least 25 of its customers have tested and told us their plan tier, and the median of those results is at least 85% of what the plan is sold as. The closest so far has 8 results and needs 17 more. We publish nothing about a company until the sample can carry it, and we don't publish a bottom of the table at all.
Postcodes
A postcode enters the rankings at 8 results.
| Postcode | Median | Results |
