An independent Australian NBN speed reference — plain-English, ACCC-grounded, and never a lead funnel in disguise.
internetspeedtest.au is operated by Eprotech Pty Ltd (ABN 43 644 335 535), an Australian company registered in New South Wales. This is an independent consumer reference, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government authority, the ACCC, NBN Co, or any internet provider. We exist to help frustrated Australian broadband bill-payers understand one thing: whether the connection they pay for is actually delivering the speed they were sold. We do not sell modems, we do not dispatch technicians, and we do not run a paid provider-comparison marketplace. The site earns its keep through advertising displayed alongside our diagnostic and benchmarking content, which keeps the speed test and the guides free to use.
Every quantitative claim on this site — a typical evening speed, an NBN speed tier, a realistic figure for a connection technology — names its source and its date. Our two grounding authorities are the ACCC and NBN Co.
We take busy-hour (typical evening, 7pm–11pm) performance figures from the ACCC's Measuring Broadband Australia programme and cite the report edition and date each time.
Speed-tier definitions and connection-technology detail (FTTP, FTTN, FTTC, HFC, Fixed Wireless, Satellite) are grounded in NBN Co's published wholesale specifications, verified current at the time of writing.
ACCC figures change every quarter and tiers are revised over time, so each figure carries its date and we re-verify against the live source rather than reciting a number from memory.
We never sell, license, or on-sell your speed test or underperformance results to internet providers or any third party. When you run a test, the reading is there to help you interpret your own connection — nothing more. This site is a neutral reference, not a lead funnel in disguise: we do not pass your details to a retail service provider, and we do not operate an affiliate comparison marketplace. Our tool flags likely causes of poor performance and shows how your reading compares to what your plan promises; it does not lodge a formal complaint with the TIO or your provider on your behalf, and it does not guarantee any provider will fix, remediate, or compensate. We are not an ACMA-authorised testing tool — we are an independent consumer reference that surfaces data to support your own conversation with your provider.
This page is about the site, not a diagnostic. The answers live on our dedicated guides.
Our cause-to-fix diagnostic hub covers peak-hour congestion, plan-tier mismatch, in-home wiring, Wi-Fi versus wired, modem age and connection technology.
Compare your measured evening speed against your advertised tier, benchmarked to the ACCC's typical evening speed figures.
See realistic speeds by tier and by connection type before you decide whether to upgrade or complain.
Our content is prepared and reviewed by the Eprotech Education Team against the current published figures from the ACCC and NBN Co. Because the ACCC's Measuring Broadband Australia figures are refreshed quarterly and NBN speed tiers are periodically revised — the legacy NBN 12 tier, for example, is being phased out — we treat any older figure as a prompt to re-verify rather than a fact to reprint. Where a figure has moved, we correct the page and update its review date. We write in plain English for a non-technical reader who is frustrated at a specific moment: a buffering stream, a slow evening, a bill they resent. Our aim is to be the calm, accurate, independent explanation that turns a raw speed number into a decision you can act on.
