Blisteringly fast 1Gbps consumer NBN is now available, and Aussie Broadband is the first out the gate with a 1000/50 plan.
Internet service provider Aussie Broadband has just launched access the NBN’s latest and fastest consumer NBN speed tier, a 1Gbps service offering unlimited downloads at speeds of up to 1000Mbps, and selling for a surprisingly affordable AU$149 a month.
With a download speed of 1Gbps, this brand new 1000/50 tier is set to be four times faster than what was previously available to consumers, with top speeds formerly maxing out at 250Mbps.
Given Aussie Broadband is the first in the market to offer NBN 1000, the ISP has warned it’s as yet unable to provide definitive numbers on peak evening speeds, with managing director Phillip Britt saying it is a “best effort service”.
“We think that the plan should achieve off-peak speeds of up to 80-90%, depending on the technology type,” says Britt.
