2. Service Description
What is NBN Standard (TC-4)?
NBN Standard (TC-4) is a broadband service using the National Broadband Network. TC-4 supports general internet and standard data services with these features:
Multiple access technologies
Data traffic access via Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Basement (FTTB), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) and Fixed Wireless (FW).
Asymmetrical wholesale download and upload speeds
For standard internet use and low-priority applications, this reflects a typical experience for your staff and customers.
A “best effort” service
Your download and upload speeds show the Peak Information Rate (PIR)—the maximum speed on an uncongested network. Actual speeds vary by access technology and Zettagrid.
