nbn™ Enterprise Ethernet – Speed

The flexibility of our fastest wholesale speed product designed to meet the needs of an enterprise business.

nbn™ Enterprise Ethernet allows providers to order symmetrical wholesale bandwidth speeds of 10/10 Mbps up to 1,000/1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps).* This allows the network to scale to the bandwidth requirements of each business.

The traffic can be managed through three different Classes of Service (CoS) allowing business critical applications to get the highest prioritisation, while applications that are less time-critical can be prioritised economically via an alternative traffic class.

Providers can order a number of wholesale speed tiers with symmetrical bandwidth to meet their customers’ needs and requirements.
Bandwidth Profiles
10 Mbps - 100 Mbps 10 Mbps Increments
100 Mbps - 500 Mbps 50 Mbps Increments
500 Mbps - 1000 Mbps 100 Mbps Increments

The bandwidth at each premises can be managed across three CoS offered by nbn to providers to allow prioritisation of applications across the network.

  • High: CIR only class of service typically used for time sensitive applications (e.g. voice, Citrix).
  • Medium: Support a CIR/EIR ratio of 1:3. Typically used for less time sensitive applications (e.g. WAN data).
  • Low: EIR only class of service typically used for ‘best effort’ applications (e.g. internet browsing).

CIR = Committed Information Rate
EIR = Excess Information Rate

* Regardless of the retail service you purchase, the actual wholesale speeds delivered by the nbn™ Enterprise Ethernet product will be less than 1000Mbps due to equipment and network limitations. An end user’s experience, including the speeds actually achieved over the nbn™ broadband access network, depends on the nbn™ access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to their premises, whether they are using the internet during the busy period, and some factors outside of nbn’s control (like their equipment quality, software, chosen broadband plan, signal reception, or how their provider designs its network). If your service provider has not selected a bandwidth in the highest of three classes of service available for nbn™ Enterprise Ethernet, the speeds you experience may be affected by contention on the nbn™ access network, particularly in busy periods.
