Last updated: 19 September 2018

Our Broadband Performance Measuring Program collects data from households around Australia to find which internet service providers are providing the speeds customers have signed up for. This is the September release of August 2018 data.

You can filter the results by ISP or advertised download speed to easily see which ISPs are delivering. To get a full picture of the data we have, select the 'Compare all products' button.

When it comes to choosing an internet provider, plan pricing and customer service is important too. The Broadband Performance Measuring Program only measures speed, so for the bigger picture also check out our ISP satisfaction survey.
