Australian ACCC Says Many Households Only Need 50 Mbps

A new report by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says 50 Mbps is sufficient to support household consumption of two concurrent high-definition video streams. For that reason,  “higher priced NBN100 services are not generally required to support many households’ consumption of streaming services, and that in most cases an NBN50 service is sufficient.” In other words, 50 Mbps works fine for household HDTV video streaming. 


“For most RSPs (retail service providers), nearly all NBN50 services would be able to stream from Netflix in High Definition, even if two people were watching different programs at the same time. This remained true even during busy hours,” the ACCC says.
