NBN Fixed Wireless Speed: Internet speeds indicated in the table are maximum theoretical speeds and are not an estimate of the speeds you will actually experience.

You will not experience these speeds at all times. Fixed Wireless speeds will be slower during the busy period, which is 7pm to 11pm for individual consumers and 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) for SMB consumers.

Factors such as congestion may significantly affect the Fixed Wireless services. You will typically experience slower speeds due to a number of factors including:

• signal strength or obstruction of the antenna line of sight to the nbn Fixed Wireless tower;
• the capacity of and demand on the nbn Fixed Wireless tower and network, especially during the busy period when more premises use the internet;
• local conditions such as internet traffic, your hardware and software, your in-home set up, how you use the internet at home, the data source or destination, and your location; and weather conditions such as extreme heat and heavy rain.

Optus cannot ascertain the actual effect of these factors on an individual consumerӳ Fixed Wireless service until after that service is activated. Optus relies on NBN Co to provide information on congestion on Fixed Wireless services.

Speed: The speeds above are only an indication of what you may experience on your service. The speed you will experience depends on a number of factors including your access type, demand on the network and local conditions such as internet traffic, your line condition, your hardware and software, the data source or destination and your location which can interfere with reception and speed.
