Less congestion, low latency

While the residential broadband plans from all Australian ISPs are contended; i.e.  “up to 80 Mbps”, “Up to 50 Mbps”, etc.; Lightning Broadband prides itself on putting less people on the pipe than others by a country mile; so even residential users benefit from phenomenal speeds – perfect for streaming video.

Additionally, our services are also low-latency; a crucial feature for online gaming and VOIP applications.

REALLY unlimited broadband plans

The faster your internet connection speed is, the more data you’ll use – that’s why all our plans offer unlimited data. And unlimited means unlimited – no penalties, no speed reductions. The highest speed possible, all the time and unlimited data makes for a worry-free online experience.

Symmetrical connection

Upload as fast as you download – our symmetrical connections are one of the aspects that sets us apart from other ISP NBN home plans.

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) options

What is contention and why does it matter?

Contention is a technical term you may have heard in relation to broadband. We liken it to the difference between first class and economy on flights. It’s basically the ratio of users to the amount of available bandwidth resources.  If an ISP tries to assign too many people to a certain amount of bandwidth it can result in a very noticeable degradation of performance. This unfortunately is a common scenario – but not at Lightning Broadband. We assign resources based on maximizing our customers’ online experience, not our profit margins.
