Date Time NBN speeds pick up as more households wanted for extended program Fixed-line NBN broadband services reached a new performance high in February 2021, the ACCC’s thirteenth quarterly Measuring Broadband Australia report reveals. Retail service providers achieved between 86.8 and 99.1 per cent of plan speeds across the major NBN fixed-line plans during the busy evening hours of 7pm to 11pm, the latest report shows. This is the highest result since the ACCC started the Measuring Broadband Australia program in 2018. The difference in download speeds between retail service providers also narrowed slightly since December 2020. Overall, average download speeds were 95.7 per cent of plan speed during the busy evening hours, and 96.7 per cent during all hours of the day, marginally higher than in the December 2020 report.
