Step 1. Check your usage particularly between 7pm and 11pm
When connecting to an nbn™ powered plan from an internet provider, it’s important you choose a speed based on your usage. The key is to think about your evening usage particularly between 7pm and 11pm when internet traffic is at its peak.
You need to talk to your internet provider about:
- How many people will be online together during this time
- What devices they’ll be using
- What they will be using those devices for
