Australians on NBN Co’s Fixed Wireless Plus plan have experienced further improvements to their broadband speeds following the completion of the company’s fixed wireless upgrade program, the competition watchdog, the ACCC's latest Measuring Broadband Australia report has found.

Australians on NBN Co’s Fixed Wireless Plus plan have experienced further improvements to their broadband speeds following the completion of the company’s fixed wireless upgrade program, the competition watchdog, the ACCC's latest Measuring Broadband Australia report has found.

The performance of Fibre Max high speed broadband plans in New Zealand has improved substantially, according to the country’s competition regulator, The Commerce Commission.

There has been 10% drop in the peak time broadband speeds of high-speed Fibre Max in New Zealand, according to the country’s competition regulator The Commerce Commission.

New Zealand’s competition regulator The Commerce Commission says a new Measuring Broadband results report shows the country’s fibre 100 broadband plans are offering high speeds and “reliable internet performance” across all tested providers and regions, and delivering 99% of advertised speeds.

Fixed-line NBN customers are benefitting from competition among Internet service providers to perform well in the ACCC's speed tests, though some consumers continue to get much lower speeds than others on the same plan.

The consumer watchdog, the ACCC, has lambasted the telecommunications industry — with the exception of Telstra and Optus — for continuing to advertise Internet plans using what it calls “unhelpful speed ranges”, and referencing off-peak speeds, or failing to provide consumers with any information about the speed of their services during busy hours.
