If you're one of the many Australian families with an NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connection, you might have noticed things feeling a little zippier lately. That's no accident. This September, NBN Co rolled out a significant, free speed boost for millions of Australians, opening up a new world of possibilities for our connected homes.
But what does this faster internet really mean for your family?
More Than Just Faster Browsing
This isn't just about your web pages loading a fraction of a second quicker. These new speeds unlock experiences that were previously frustrating or even impossible.
Imagine the kids streaming their favourite shows in crystal-clear 4K in the living room, while you're on a crucial, glitch-free video call for work in the study. At the same time, your teenager could be diving into the world of cloud gaming, playing the latest titles without needing a high-end console, all with zero lag. Uploading that huge family video album to the cloud? It’s done in minutes, not hours. This is the new reality for homes that can properly harness these speeds.
Goodbye, Frustrating Delays
Perhaps the most welcome change is the end of the dreaded progress bar. Remember waiting what felt like an eternity for the latest PlayStation or Xbox game—with its enormous 100GB file—to download? Those days are numbered. Critical operating system updates for your computers and phones can now happen silently and swiftly in the background without bringing the entire network to a crawl. The "buffering" wheel that interrupts family movie night can finally become a distant memory.
This new baseline of speed simply removes a layer of digital friction from our busy lives.
Speed and Safety: You Can Have Both
At All Families Secure, our primary mission is to create safe and secure online environments for your loved ones. But that mission has never meant delivering a network that drags its feet.
Your NBN connection is like a brand new, multi-lane freeway to your front door. But if your home Wi-Fi is like a bumpy, single-lane track, you'll never feel that speed. This is especially true now, with NBN offering plans that are close to gigabit speeds (1000 Mbps) and even multi-gigabit plans for consumers.
As we've explored in the past when discussing Wi-Fi fixes, the key isn't just the plan you pay for; it's about intelligent network design. By using the right hardware and designing a network that fits the unique layout of your home, we ensure there are no dead spots or bottlenecks. We build networks that can handle the extreme speeds being delivered today, ensuring that every device in every corner of your home gets the fastest, most reliable connection possible—all while being protected by our Child Safe Networks or supported by our Independent Living solutions.
We're already seeing existing All Families Secure customers benefit from the speed increases. When the speed tiers were upgraded on the 14th it was a flurry of speed boosts:
