Aussie internet speeds are achieving consistent measures across fixed-line and wireless broadband plans, according to ACCC's final quarterly report.As per the last Measuring Broadband Australia report, Australian homes have averaged an impressive 99.4% of their internet plan's download speeds during the test period from March 1 to March 31, 2026. Comparatively, the results recorded in the previous report showed the average during peak evening hours was 98.5% of advertised plan speeds.In recent years, these results have gotten closer to 100% of advertised plan speeds, which is a solid uptick from the 80% average when the reports were first published in 2017. The reports were established to provide Aussies with impartial quarterly data on NBN and home broadband services, including speed, latency and outages recorded by volunteers using different telecommunication providers.

Even though the reports have concluded, we often consider them a sounding board for our own in-depth monthly research, using the data in collaboration with our findings to inform our choices. Moving forward, we will lean on other reports, such as those by OpenSignal, to provide unbiased and genuine recommendations.The ACCC's Commissioner, Anna Brakey, noted that the reports have "brought transparency and scrutiny to broadband performance, and it has helped to ensure that consumers receive the quality of service that they pay for".The conclusion of the quarterly reports comes after several key changes to NBN Co's wholesale products, less differentiation between NBN providers' performance and considerable improvements in overall performance since the program's inception.Brakey also stated that "internet providers have a responsibility to deliver a service that meets the speed and performance that they advertise and the ACCC will continue to take strong enforcement action where we see evidence of misleading claims". The consumer watchdog has also confirmed it will continue to closely monitor broadband performance using its data.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.Improvements across the board
