Key term definitions
Speed tiers | AVC TC-4 downstream Mbps (PIR) | AVC TC-4 upstream Mbps (PIR) | nbn network |
---|---|---|---|
Home Fast | 100 | 20 | Fibre and HFC |
Home Fast | 25-1001 | 5-201 | FTTB, FTTN and FTTC |
Home Superfast | 250 | 25 | Fibre and HFC |
Home Ultrafast | 500 to ~10001,2,3 | 50 | Fibre and HFC |
1 Where the bandwidth profile is expressed as a range, the range shows the maximum PIR which may be achieved at the nbn network boundary for the relevant bandwidth profile. The PIR can fall anywhere in the range for the relevant bandwidth profile in respect of a particular AVC TC-4 used to serve a Premises (they are not minimum-maximum PIR ranges).
2 Inherent limitations of nbn Ethernet in relation to service frame overhead means the effective Layer 2 Peak Information Rate will be limited to, depending on the Frame Size, up to a maximum of 990Mbps (at 2,000 Byte Frame Size). Please refer to section 2.2.2.1 of the nbn Ethernet Product Technical Specification on the Wholesale Broadband Agreement page.
3 For the HFC Home Ultrafast bandwidth profile, the Layer 2 wholesale downstream service will be configured at the Layer 2 network management to a Maximum Sustained Information Rate of 750Mbps with the potential to burst up to a maximum of 990Mbps (depending on but not limited to, the Frame Size and line speed capability - see note 2 above) at potential burst durations between 1 to 50 seconds at least once a day. Please refer to section 2.2.2.5 of the nbn Ethernet Product Technical Specification on the Wholesale Broadband Agreement page.
