Factors that may affect your nbn® speed and connection

Some factors only apply to specific types of nbn connections.

Factor nbn Wireless nbn FTTB/N & nbn FTTC nbn FTTP & nbn HFC

The quality of your modem, cables and devices
Older devices may not support the newer types of Wi-Fi. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for information about your device’s capabilities. Any damaged devices or Ethernet cables should be repaired or replaced.

Network Congestion
Speed may be slower during periods of congestion, like when more people are using the network in the evening.

Weather
Extreme heat or rain in your area or at the nbn Wireless base station can affect the speed of your service.

Wi-Fi signal interference
The quality of your Wi-Fi signal may vary due to the number of devices you have connected, distance from your modem, the location of your modem, the type of Wi-Fi network (5GHz vs. 2.4GHz Wi-Fi) and any obstacles between your devices and your modem. Learn how to improve your Wi-Fi signal.

How many devices you have connected
When too many devices are being used at the same time, particularly for large downloads or HD/4K streaming, there may not be enough bandwidth to go around. This can limit the flow of data flow for all devices and cause slow speeds.

Which content is being accessed
Particular issues may affect a specific website or online game, such as insufficient server capacity.

nbn® Infrastructure
Your speed can be affected by the quality and location of nbn® infrastructure, such as:

  • The length and quality of copper cables used to connect your premises to the nbn hub for nbn FTTB/FTTN & nbn FTTC.
  • The quality and location of an nbn Wireless antenna.

nbn® Wireless Signal interference
Coverage may vary due to the nature of radio-based mobile networks. The signal may also be affected by the distance and line of sight from the network base station, building materials, and geographic features like hills, buildings and trees.

nbn® Wireless Fair Use Policy Enforcement
If your nbn Wireless usage falls within certain parameters set by nbn®, your service may be impacted by nbn®’s enforcement of their Fair Use Policy. This means you may experience slower download or upload speeds from time to time, depending on your usage, the time of day and the type of apps you’re using.

Latency
Latency is the amount of time it takes for data packets to go from one place to another on an internet connection, which is important for ultra-time-sensitive apps like multiplayer shooting games.

  • nbn Wireless may not be suitable for online gaming. 
  • Large files might be slow to load.

Checking the status lights on your indoor nbn Connection Box (NCB) for nbn FTTP can be useful for troubleshooting.

You may need to check the Serial Number on your NCB to complete your order.

Select one of the links below to jump to a query:

Lifting the nbn FTTP Connection Box cover

If your NCB has a cover, you can open it by, gently prising the cover away from the two clips on the bottom, then lifting the cover upwards.

Where to find your nbn FTTP Connection Box Serial Number

The Serial Number for your NCB is listed next to S/N on its barcode sticker.

Light State Meaning
POWER Off No power.
Red Using backup battery power from the Power Supply unit (if you have one).

Are the lights behaving strangely?

If you're seeing some weird behaviour such as lights for empty UNI-D ports turned on or flashing, have there been recent lightning storms in your area?

If you think your NCB, cables or other nbn equipment have been affected by a lightning strike, please call us on 1300 997 271.

A traceroute checks how data packets are sent to a specific address using your internet connection, taking note of each stop along the way. It's a good way to see the latency (delay) between different servers that make up the internet.

If you use PingPlotter, it will run a ping test and a traceroute at the same time.

Traceroute in Windows

  1. Hit Search and type "cmd" into the search bar.

    Windows 10 Search icon
  2. Open the Command Prompt app. 

    Windows CMD Prompt
  3. Type “tracert” and then hit Space on your keyboard.

  4. Type the address you want to traceroute, then hit Enter on your keyboard.

    e.g. "tracert tpg.com.au"

    Windows Trace Route
  5. Wait for the test to finish.

  6. A traceroute will test a maximum of 30 "hops". Each hop is a new server that the data passes through on its way to its destination. The first hop is your modem, and the last hop is the server for the address you've tracerouted.

    Don't worry if some hops come up as "* * * Request timed out". Some servers deliberately ignore the data packets used for traceroute tests.

  7. Three latency times (in milliseconds) will be shown before the domain or IP address for each hop. The mean average of these times is considered to be the latency for that server.

    For example, 32ms + 50ms + 33ms / 3 = a latency of 38.3 milliseconds.

    You can search online for a specific IP address to get a better idea of where it is.

  8. To copy-paste your traceroute results: Right-click in the Command Prompt window and select Mark to turn on the cursor. You can use the up/down arrow keys on your keyboard to move the cursor to the start of the text you want to copy.

    Hold the Shift key and use the down/right arrow keys to highlight the text you want to copy, then hit the Enter key to copy the text.
