How fast is the Optus Broadband Internet service?
The Optus Broadband Internet service is delivered through cable, which is designed to send channel after channel of high quality sound and pictures, and is therefore capable of download speeds much faster than a 28k or 56k dial-up modem. Actual speeds achieved when using Optus Broadband Internet will vary due to factors that affect downstream data speed which include overall network traffic, your computer’s performance and configuration, accessing non-cached or cached data, location and configuration of the accessed server, performance characteristics of each component of the data network, the number of users, and all users’ compliance with Optus Internet Customer Terms and Acceptable Use Policy. Generally, you will experience speeds considerably faster than with a dial-up connection.
