nbn® 50 plans FAQs
nbn® 50 is an internet connection plan on the nbn that gives download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 20 Mbps. This plan is a great choice for households of up to four average internet users.
nbn® 50/20 refers to the maximum download speed (50 Mbps) and upload speed (20 Mbps) offered on this plan.
The 50 Mbps speed is good enough for most households of around four users. It can handle multiple devices streaming, browsing and gaming simultaneously. In fact, many people consider nbn® 50 to be the best bang for buck for an average to large household.
Online gaming actually requires a lot less internet speed than you might think. Different games obviously have different speed requirements, but an nbn® 50 plan will be fast enough to reliably play even the biggest games.
The obvious difference between 50 Mbps plans and 100 Mbps plans is the download speed: 100 Mbps offers twice the maximum download speed of 50 Mbps plans.
For households of five or more users, this may improve internet speeds and reliability, but for households smaller than that, you may not see much difference. Interestingly, many 50 Mbps and 100 Mbps plans actually offer the same max upload speed of 20 Mbps (some 100 plans offer up to 40 Mbps).
According to the ACCC, the average NBN download speeds during busy hours for 50 Mbps plans is 48.5 Mbps – extremely close to the advertised speed.
Yes, 50 Mbps is more than fast enough for Netflix. The streaming service recommends 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).
If you have a household of more than five simultaneous users, or have heavy internet demands, 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, you should be able to stream 4K content on at least two devices simultaneously.
Absolutely. In fact, Zoom requires just 0.6 to 1.5 Mbps of upload and download speed to make a group call. Different types of calls, how many people are on it, different levels of video quality and whether you’re screen sharing or not will determine what speed you need, but at a maximum you can expect to need about 4 Mbps.
Yes, you could easily have two people working from home on a 50 Mbps plan. You’ll be able to Zoom, upload and download, send files, research and multitask with ease on a 50 Mbps plan.
