VPNs for ad-blocking In theory, ADSL2+ plans can reach download speeds of up to 24Mbps, but that’s dependent on many factors, including the quality of the copper wiring and the distance of an ADSL2+ home from the nearest telephone exchange. At the time of writing, Telstra was the only provider in our comparison engine still selling ADSL2+ plans: Check out some examples of non-NBN fibre plans from our comparison engine below: Check out the daily updating list of home wireless internet plans from our comparison engine below: Below is a daily updating list of mobile broadband plans from our comparison engine: Generally speaking, ADSL2+ is on par with satellite NBN in terms of speed (except for Sky Muster Plus plans), albeit with significantly better latency and unlimited-data plans. Mobile broadband has speeds that reach up to just under NBN 50 plans, albeit with latency that’s higher than fixed-line NBN homes, on par with NBN Fixed Wireless abodes and significantly lower than Sky Muster satellite areas. VDSL2 sits nestled between the NBN 50 and NBN 100 speed potentiality of FTTN, FTTB, FTTC, HFC and FTTP NBN homes, and its technology is functionally the same as FTTB and FTTN. Cable internet and Starlink satellite are similarly matched for speed potential, stretching above the NBN 100 plan caps for most Australian homes. You should expect lower latency from cable internet and NBN fixed-line technologies than Starlink satellite, whose latency is closer to ADSL2+. Meanwhile, non-NBN fibre is identical to FTTP NBN in terms of 1000/50Mbps download and upload speed potential via future-proofed fibre, while some HFC homes may not be eligible for NBN 250 or NBN 1000 plans. Finally, home wireless broadband speeds depend on whether you’re on a 4G or 5G plan, how strong the signal strength is and how congested the mobile tower is. Under the best conditions, 4G home wireless internet is capable of 100/50Mbps download and upload speeds, similar to NBN 100 (which taps out at 40Mbps upload), while 5G home wireless broadband can theoretically rival all forms of fixed-line broadband on download speed, upload speed and latency. Check out the table below for a comparison between NBN speed tiers and other forms of broadband technology.
