World-class connectivity
business nbn Enterprise Ethernet is designed to comply to Metro Ethernet Forum specifications – providing you with access to a technology designed to adhere to international standards. nbn’s fibre-based product – business nbn Enterprise Ethernet – provides service providers access to wholesale symmetrical speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps (identical wholesale download and upload).* Talk to your provider about the actual speeds you can expect to experience when you switch to a business nbn powered plan – including during peak times.
nbn is planning to develop a roadmap to further expand and enhance on the wholesale speeds and features available to providers.
