BEST INTERNET FOR CONTENT CREATORS

Great content starts with great internet

So, you’ve been dabbling in the dark arts of “content creation”. Maybe you’re cutting Tik Tok clips at 2am, chasing trends before they die, or screaming into a mic on stream while your chat spams “emotes.” Either way, this kind of internet behaviour isn’t what we’d call casual internet usage anymore. This is high performance internet.

And if you’re still judging your connection by download speed alone… you’re already behind.

Upload speed is the main character now

Everyone loves a big download number. Cool. Great for Netflix. But if you’re actually making content? Upload speed is everything. It’s the difference between:

Posting first vs posting late
Smooth streams vs pixel soup
Instant uploads vs “guess I’ll go make coffee… twice”

If you want to stay ahead of the algorithm instead of chasing it, your connection needs to keep up. That’s where Exetel comes in.

Built for people who use the internet creatively

This isn’t just “good internet.” Exetel’s internet comes with a bit more stuff to it. Stuff that helps content creators keep up with their schedule.

Warp Speed (publish day mode, but useful)

Deadline creeping up? Trend blowing up right now? Flip the switch and double your bandwidth to 1000/100 Mbps (TES: 860/85 Mbps) for an additional $1 a day. Just: go fast, upload faster, move on.

Hibernate (because creators travel)

Off to a con? Shooting content somewhere with better lighting? Drop your plan down to 25/10 Mbps (25/8.5 TES) while you’re gone and get $1/day credited back. So, you’re not paying full price for internet you’re not using.

Fibre optic network backbone

This runs on a proper fibre optic network with direct connections to the big players. Translation: Less congestion at peak times and more consistent speeds. Which is exactly what you want when you’re mid-stream or mid-upload.

No promo bait-and-switch

No “$60 for 6 months then surprise $95” nonsense. It’s a flat rate of around $80/month. No smoke and mirrors, just super-good, extra-awesome value. Check out our nbn plan here.

THE STUFF CREATORS ACTUALLY NOTICE

Let’s talk the real-world impact.

Live streaming & gaming
Low latency (think: 0–20ms) means your gaming and streaming feel instant, and your inputs actually register when you press them. Not half a second later. Exetel delivers some of the lowest latency of any nbn provider in Australia, with latency ranging between 6.9ms and 7.1ms according to the ACCC Broadband Performance Report (June 2026).

Cloud editing
If you’re using browser-based editors, every click goes to a server and back. Slow connection means painful lag. What we want is fast upload and low ping, which Exetel is all over.

Big file uploads
Raw footage isn’t small. We’re talking gigabytes. Higher tiers like 500/50 (500/40Mbps TES) mean you’re not waiting all night for a file to finish uploading. If you Warp Speed your plan, it uploads twice as fast!

WANT THE REAL UPGRADE? GO FULL FIBRE

Here’s the skinny. If your place is stuck on Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Curb (FTTC), your speeds are capped. And unfortunately, no amount of wishing will fix that. If you can upgrade to Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) though—that’s where serious speed kicks in. You get:

Better stability
Higher speed tiers
Way less chance of your stream dying mid-broadcast

And crucially, access to those top-tier plans like 500/50 (500/40Mbps TES) and 1000/100 (TES: 860/85 Mbps).

Create, publish and go live from anywhere

Content doesn't stop when you leave your desk and neither should your connection. Exetel's Plus One mobile plan gives creators everything they need on the go: 5G speeds, a generous 130GB monthly data allowance, and all for just $40/month.

Whether you're publishing from a café, editing on the road, or going live from a location shoot, Plus One keeps you connected without the compromises. Pair it with Exetel's The One home internet plan and you have a seamless, high-performance setup from your studio to the street.
