Broadband Internet

National fixed broadband speeds in Australia are among the lowest in the developed world.

According to the Speed Test Global Index, Australia is ranked 62nd globally for Fixed Broadband at 58.83Mbps compared with 226.60 Mbps for the leading country, Singapore.

Quality broadband services facilitate commerce and trade and remove obstacles and costs for small businesses. It is no coincidence that global hubs of investment and technology also maintain world class broadband infrastructure.
