Understanding your options to choose the perfect internet speed for your household
Understanding NBN
The NBN network uses different connection technologies depending on your location. The technology type at your address affects which speed tiers are available to you.
Fibre to the Premises
Optical fibre runs all the way to your premises and to the NBN connection box inside your home.
Hybrid Fibre Coaxial
Optical fibre to a node in your street, with coaxial cable (similar to pay TV cable) to your premises.
Fibre to the Node
Optical fibre to a node in your street, with existing copper phone line from the node to your wall socket.
Fibre to the Building
Optical fibre to your building's communications room, with copper line from there to your premises.
Fibre to the Curb
Optical fibre to a small node at the curb, with a short copper connection to your wall socket.
Wireless Connection
A fixed antenna on your roof receives signal from a local NBN wireless tower.

Choose Your Speed
Miyzon offers three main speed tiers designed for different household sizes and usage patterns. All plans include unlimited data.

Planning Your Needs
Understanding how much bandwidth different activities use helps you choose the right speed tier for your household.
Remember: These are requirements per activity. If multiple people are doing different activities simultaneously, add up the bandwidth requirements to determine your total needs.
What Impacts Performance
Your actual speeds can be affected by various factors. Understanding these helps you optimize your connection and set realistic expectations.
FTTP/HFC: Can achieve full speeds up to 1000 Mbps
FTTN/FTTB/FTTC: Speed depends on copper line quality and distance. Maximum typically 100 Mbps, but some FTTN connections may only support up to 50 Mbps or 25 Mbps.
💡 Tip: We'll check your maximum line speed after connection and let you know your options.
For FTTN connections, the further your home is from the street node, the slower your potential maximum speed. Copper degrades signal over distance.
Heavy rain and extreme weather can affect copper connections (FTTN/FTTB/FTTC) and Fixed Wireless services. Water ingress into old copper can temporarily reduce speeds.
💡 Note: FTTP and HFC are less affected by weather as they don't rely on copper for the main connection.
Old, damaged, or poor quality internal phone wiring can significantly reduce speeds on copper-based connections. Multiple phone sockets, long cable runs, and old connections can all impact performance.
💡 Solution: Professional rewiring or using the first socket (closest to entry point) can help.
Your connection's bandwidth is shared among all connected devices. The more devices active simultaneously, the more your speed is divided.
Network congestion during peak hours (7pm-11pm) can slow down speeds if your internet provider hasn't purchased enough bandwidth capacity from NBN Co.
💡 Miyzon: We monitor capacity closely and adjust to maintain speeds during peak times. Our "typical evening speeds" reflect real-world performance.
