Why is My NBN Running Slow?

And How To Fix It
Slow NBN Speed Brisbane

The Real Reasons Your NBN Connection is Slow

It is not uncommon for ISPs to market fast NBN data speeds that cannot be achieved by your NBN connection box. This could be due to old copper wiring in your home, or similar wiring running from a home to the NBN network on the street. There can also be installation and repair issues when the NBN optic fibre or affiliated cabling was laid in your area.

While many ISPs are not keen to admit it, NBN internet speeds can also be degraded by local weather conditions such as heatwaves, high winds, and high humidity.

Water damage to the NBN network can also slow data speeds and occurs when rain or flood water leak into electrical connections and NBN pits. This is a particular problem in Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast canal estates and other low-lying areas where water bogged land has been reclaimed for new housing developments.

Four Ways to Speed Up Your NBN Connection in Brisbane.

To speed up your NBN internet connection:

  • Ensure your modem is NBN compatible
  • Update old hardware and software
  • Upgrade your home wiring
  • Connect devices in your home via a fast ethernet network

Ensure Your Modem is NBN Compatible

Make sure your modem can support the latest optic fibre technology and is compatible with the NBN access network. Fix My Antenna can advise you on the different types of NBN modems that are available. Also ensure your modem is placed in an open, central area away from solid walls and furniture.

Update Old Hardware and Software

Old computers and software won’t work as fast new technology, or they may use superseded WiFi standards. Where possible, upgrade your equipment and install the latest software updates.

Upgrade Your Home Wiring

Your NBN connection box needs to be connected to the first Telsta telephone socket in your home. Your NBN speed is likely to be degraded where you have several Telstra phone sockets in your home, or where devices are still connected to these old sockets.

It’s a good idea to have your wiring assessed by Fix My Antenna. And we can then install faster data cables where required.

Connect devices in your home via a fast ethernet network

Connect your gaming consoles, streaming devices and other equipment that requires large amounts of data directly to a Cat5e or Cat6 ethernet cable.
