Tips to Improve Your Telstra Speed Test

NBN speed depends on your connection type (FTTP, HFC, FTTN) — FTTP offers the most consistent speeds close to plan maximums.

Use the Telstra 24x7 app to run a network health check and view your NBN connection type.

NBN 1000 plans require a compatible modem capable of speeds above 1 Gbps and a gigabit ethernet connection.

Telstra 5G Home Internet speeds depend on proximity to a 5G tower and network congestion.

If your NBN speed is consistently below the plan minimum, Telstra is required to offer a remedy under ACCC rules.

Telstra Speed Test – FAQ

Common questions about telstra speed test

What NBN connection type affects my speed the most?

FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) provides the most reliable speeds matching your plan. FTTN (Fibre to the Node) and HFC connections can be limited by copper or coaxial cable quality and distance, often preventing higher-tier plans from reaching full speed.

Why is my Telstra NBN upload speed so much lower than download?

Most NBN plans are asymmetric — for example, NBN 1000 offers only 50 Mbps upload. This is set by the wholesale NBN Co plan tiers, not by Telstra specifically, and applies across all Australian retailers.
