Find the Right Speed

Before you jump on the couch with your bowl of popcorn, be sure you are on the right fibre speed for your unique household. There are several different types of fibre speed. Each one, generally, suits different types of households. For example, if you just live with your partner, and you only use the internet for social media, emailing, online banking, and basic video streaming, you will likely only need fibre 50. But if you are a family of four or more, fibre 300 may suit you better as it has the capacity for multiple devices to be connected at the same time. Click the button below to use our internet speed calculator, so you can figure out which speed you need. You don’t want to not have enough speed and endure buffering and interruptions. You also don’t want to be paying for more than you need
