Yes, nbn® 50 is a good plan for gaming. Online gaming requires less in terms of internet speed than most people assume. More complex games will require higher speeds, but an nbn® 50 plan will be fast enough to reliably play even the biggest games. You’ll also be able to download patches and updates as you need.

The main difference when you compare nbn® 50 Mbps plans and 100 Mbps plans is the download speed: 100 Mbps has double the maximum download speed of 50 Mbps plans.

When it comes to upload speeds, most 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans actually offer the same maximum upload speed of 20 Mbps (although occasionally 100 plans offer up to 40 Mbps).

For households of five or more users, or when internet use is more intensive with people working from home, upgrading may improve internet speeds and reliability, but for households smaller than that, you may not see much difference.

According to the ACCC, the average nbn® download speeds during busy hours for 50 Mbps plans is 48.5 Mbps. We’re proud to offer internet speeds that are close to our advertised speed even at peak times.

Yes, 50 Mbps is absolutely fast enough for Netflix. Most streaming platforms suggest a minimum speed of 3 Mbps for SD quality (standard definition), 5 Mbps for HD quality (high definition), and 25 Mbps for streaming in Ultra HD (or 4K). You should be able to stream content on multiple devices simultaneously with a 50 Mbps plan.

If you have a household of more than five simultaneous users, or have heavy internet demands such as several people working from home, you may want to upgrade to a 100 Mbps plan. Our no-lock-in contracts mean you can upgrade to a faster speed tier at any time.

Yes, this will allow you to stream 4K content on at least two or three devices simultaneously.

Yes, Zoom requires just 0.6 to 1.5 Mbps of upload and download speed to make a group call, so 50 Mbps is more than fast enough. Different types of calls, how many people are joining, various levels of video quality and whether you’re screen sharing or not will determine what speed you actually need for a smooth call, but the most you’ll ever need is about 4 Mbps.

You could easily have two people working from home on a 50 Mbps plan, or more if their work doesn’t require heavy downloading, streaming or video calling. You’ll be able to Zoom, upload and download, send files, research and multitask with ease on a 50 Mbps plan.
