nbn™ Sky Muster™ Plus
Sky Muster™ Plus
Sky Muster™ Plus offers two key improvements to the Sky Muster™ service.
- More unmetered data for basic web browsing, email and system software updates
- Speeds up to and sometimes exceeding 25/5mbps if application and network conditions allow*.
What this means for an average user is that when they exhaust their monthly data allowance, wholesale download speeds will not be slowed down for regular web activities like accessing emails or internet banking.
According to nbn™, Activities such as gaming and video streaming will continue to contribute towards the overall monthly data limit of users and, once the cap is reached, will be speed-shaped down as they are now. However the unmetered essential services can continue to function unshaped*.
This will give people in regional and rural Australia the peace of mind that emailing your loved ones or accessing internet banking need not slow down once your monthly data limit has been exceeded.
UNMETERED DATA includes*:
*Traffic Profile must fit categories below.
- Traffic Profile 1: Basic Web-browsing
- Traffic Profile 2: Email
- Traffic Profile 3: Operating Software Updates
