Internode :: Residential :: Broadband :: NBN :: Fixed-Wireless

Unlike traditional ADSL and ADSL2+ technologies, the speed of NBN Wireless Broadband services is not affected by your distance to the local telephone exchange.

Factors that affect the performance of NBN Wireless Broadband

There are important factors that affect the speeds of your NBN service. These include the abilities of your NBN technology, your devices, your network, and more. Because of these factors, you should not expect to receive every download at (for example) 25 Mbps!

External factors that affect speeds

External factors include the capacity of, load on, and data access rate of:

The destination host computer that you are accessing.
The global Internet links between Internode and the destination host computer.
The backhaul network connecting your community to Internode.

Local factors that affect speeds

Local factors include:

The hardware that you use to connect to the NBN. You will need an Ethernet router that can firewall and translate addresses at high speeds.
The performance of your home network. For example, NBN Wireless speeds might be faster than the speeds achievable with wireless home networks.
The limitations imposed by the hardware, software, and protocol stack operating in your PC.

Because of these factors, NBN Wireless Broadband services are described as 'theoretical network maximum speeds'. Your actual speeds may be slower due to factors outside of Internode's control.
