Let’s break it all down so you can see why the Exetel 500/50 nbn plan is the ideal choice for most Aussie homes and how it will support your internet needs.  

Why Do You Need 500Mbps Speed? 

The way we use the internet today has changed dramatically. It's no longer just for Myspace, Facebook or downloading Linkin Park’s Numb on LimeWire. Now, we’re streaming 4K videos, working from home, gaming online, using smart devices, and connecting multiple gadgets and tech at once. In many households, there are multiple people using the internet at the same time—kids streaming Netflix, housemates working from home, or partners sneaking the footy on their phone while the in-laws are over. 

As technology continues to advance, so do the demands for our internet connection. That’s where 500Mbps comes in. This speed is well-suited to modern internet needs, making it a great choice for families or small households that require reliable, fast speeds for all the good stuff.  

Here’s the skinny on 500Mbps: 

• Multiple Devices: Streaming, gaming, or working, 500Mbps gives you the bandwidth to handle multiple devices connected to the internet with minimal lag. 

• Multiple Users: With this plan, you can easily support multiple people in your household, all using the internet at the same time, without major interruptions or buffering. 

What Can You Do with 500Mbps Speed? 

The short answer: what can’t you do?! With 500Mbps download speed and 50Mbps upload speed, you’ll be able to handle just about anything that requires a good internet connection. Let’s break down some common activities and how they benefit from this speed. 

1. Streaming 4K Videos on Multiple Devices 

With more and more services offering 4K content, you’ll need a solid internet connection to stream it without buffering. The good news is that 500Mbps is more than enough to stream 4K videos on platforms like Netflix, Disney+, or YouTube. You can easily watch your favourite movies or TV shows in stunning Ultra HD quality, even while someone else in your house is watching something else at the same time. 

For example, you could be watching the latest blockbuster in 4K on the smart TV, while your kids are streaming a show on their tablets. Damn, that’s a good deal. No more watching kids shows! We love you, Wiggles, but enough is enough.  

2. Multiple Connected Devices 

Do you know how many connected devices are consuming your internet at once? Recent data shows that the average Australian household now has about 25 connected devices, with this number expected to rise to 44 by 2030 as more smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies become mainstream. With a 500Mbps plan, you get the bandwidth needed to support multiple users streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and running smart devices at the same time.

3. Online Gaming 

For gamers, a solid connection is crucial, not just for fast downloads but also for a smooth gaming experience with minimal lag. 500Mbps offers more than enough speed to keep you in the game without annoying delays. 

With 500Mbps, you can download large games in a snap, and while you’re gaming, you won’t experience frustrating interruptions—perfect for those competitive moments or you know… playing Fortnite or even Call of Duty Warzone.

4. Work From Home 

Remote work is awesome. But! With it comes the video calls, file sharing, and collaborative work. 500Mbps offers excellent speeds for tasks like these, and you’ll have no problem with video conferencing apps like Zoom, Teams, or Skype. 

Our 500Mbps plan allows you to do all your high-quality video meetings while also sharing documents or working on shared files. It’s fast enough to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, and no more mid-meeting freeze screens! Phew.  

5. Online Learning 

We live in a time where side-hustles are kind of essential. 500Mbps provides the speed needed for e-learning and remote classes to level up.  

Students can stream educational videos, take part in live webinars, or download study materials without slow speeds getting in the way. Plus! No more 5 minutes to midnight submission freak outs, because you’ve left that assignment till the last minute. 500Mbps has got you, boo.
