SYDNEY – NBN’s fixed wireless service stacks up against the best in the world, according to a new report conducted by Ovum, which compared its performance to that of 21 overseas wireless broadband providers.The research looked at operators’ data allowance,

download speed, upload speed and price per GB of data, finding that few

operators will be able to match NBN’s upcoming 50Mbps up/20 down maximum

wholesale speed, currently in a nationwide pilot.

The report also found NBN was superior to its peers for data allowance, price

per gigabyte of data and upload speed performance.

NBN’s upload speed performance for its forthcoming up-to 50/20 Mbps fixed

wireless product was 33 per cent higher than its next best peer, Ireland’s

Meteor.

“Our research demonstrates the combined technical performance with high levels

of affordability of the NBN fixed wireless network make it a world-leading

broadband service,” said Ovum research director David Kennedy.” –
