1This is the maximum line speed possible outside of peak hours, it is unlikely that you will experience these speeds. Not all speeds available in all areas.
2Typical evening upload and download speed (7pm-11pm) as measured for Fixed Line NBN Services only. Speed may vary due to various factors. Speeds for Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) customers will be confirmed once connected. We do not currently have specific typical evening speed data for customers not on the nbn network but are working to get this as soon as possible. See About nbn® Speeds for more info.
3Typical evening upload and download speed (7pm –11pm) as measured for fixed wireless services. Speed may vary due to various factors. Fixed Wireless speed are slower than fixed connections, may be impacted by cell congestion, and can only be determined after activation. Fixed Wireless Plus offers a theoretical maximum speed of 75/10. See About nbn® Speeds for more info.
4Download speeds are subject to the distribution bandwidth offered by different gaming providers. Actual speeds may be lower due to many factors including your network configuration and equipment limitations. You acknowledge that you are electing to purchase this speed boost without reliance on any average sampled evening speed representations.
FTTN/FTTB/FTTC attainable line speeds will be confirmed once you are connected to the nbn®. We will check if your service can support the speed tier that you have chosen. If it cannot, we can move you to a lower speed tier or you can choose to terminate your service.
Important stuff
Your nbn® service won’t work if your electricity goes out, unless you have a FTTP connection with an NBN backup battery installed.
Medical and security alarms
If you have a medical or security alarm, check to see if they’ll work with an nbn® connection before entering into a contract with us for an nbn® service. If your medical or security alarm isn’t compatible, see if there are any alternatives available by contacting your alarm supplier.
Factors that can impact broadband speeds in the home
- In-home wiring
- where your modem is located.
- Network capacity and network traffic
- The nbn technology type at your home
- Electrical and Wifi interference from other devices
- Distance from the nbn node or Fixed Wireless tower

What does all this technology mean?
The broadband operates on fiber, fixed wireless, and satellite technologies. The choice of technology depends on existing network infrastructure and the most suitable option to access the network for each individual home. Read on for a breakdown of the technologies.

Fibre-to-the-Node is the most common type of nbn® internet connection. Fibre optic cables roll out to a common node in the area, like a nbn® street cabinet. From the node, existing copper infrastructure finishes the connection to each individual home. This means nothing changes inside your home so in most cases you won’t need an appointment.

Fixed Wireless connects regional areas to faster broadband, without the use of cables. In these instances, fibre is rolled out to nbn® towers to transmit data wirelessly using 4G LTE technology. Homes using fixed wireless technology have an antenna fitted to the roof, by an approved nbn® technician, to receive data. We’ll make an installation appointment for you when you sign up with iPrimus.

Fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connections operate on new fibre optic cables connecting homes directly to the nbn®. The connection extends into the home by a device installed by an approved nbn® technician. We’ll take care of setting up your installation appointment for you.

Fibre-to-the-Building (FTTB) connects multi-dwelling homes like apartment blocks. nbn® fibre rolls out to a common point, usually inside a building’s communications room or basement, using internal copper wiring to finish the connection to each apartment. Nothing changes inside the home so in most cases you won’t need a nbn® technician appointment.

Fibre-to-the-curb technology leads to a distribution point in a pit or on a pole near a curb (Kerb in Aussie) on your street. Copper cabling connects to a wall socket inside your house or passes through an apartment building’s main distribution frame, typically in the basement or a communications room. In most cases you won’t need an appointment. You might need a new modem and a nbn® connection device supplied by us.

Hybrid Fibre Coaxial technology rolls out fibre to a common node in the neighbourhood. From the node, coaxial cable installed by a nbn® technician, completes the connection to the home. If you have a Foxtel service connected you might not need an installation inside the home so in most cases you won’t need an appointment, but we’ll let you know.
