Internet Speed: Some Basics

When you sign up with Aussie Broadband your internet speed is determined by the Plan that you

selected. This speed determines how fast you can transfer data to and from the internet. For

example, you may have selected the 1500/256 plan with 10GB Peak data and 10GB Off-Peak data.

The 1500 represents the download speed and the 256 represents the upload speed. This means that

you will be able to potentially download data from the internet at 1500kbps and be able to upload

data to the internet at speeds up to 256kbps.

Download & Uploads

A download is any data that you receive from the internet. This includes any files downloaded from

the internet and any websites that are displayed in your browser. An upload is any data that you

send from your computer to the internet such as sending an email.

kbps vs. KBps

Your broadband plan is displayed in kilobits (e.g. 1500/256Kbps). Most applications, including your

browser, display your download and upload speeds in kilobytes. This is important to note as it is

easy to misinterpret your internet speeds based on your selected plan. In simple terms, 1500kbps

(kilobits) is equivalent to 187.5KBps (Kilobytes).

Local Network

The speed displayed by your network connections (e.g. 100Mbps for Ethernet) represents the local

network speed only and does not relate to your internet speed.

If you are experiencing any connection issues relating to speeds it is recommended that you carry

out a speed test. Before starting the test please make sure that you have no other programs running

that may be using the internet connection as this will cause the results to be inaccurate. Please

ensure that you are not currently shaped, this can be check by accessing your account details from

our homepage.

To carry out a speed test go to:

http://speedcheck.aussiebroadband.com.au/SpeedCheck.php

Select a file to download (preferably a file larger than 10Mb). Save this file to your desktop or

somewhere that you can easily find to delete it later on. Wait for a minute or two until the transfer

rate settles somewhat and take note of it. This is your current download speed.
