Getting the Most from Your Fibre Connection

Myth: Simply switching to fibre automatically guarantees top speeds.

Truth: Upgrading to fibre in WA requires a bit more than just changing the cables. To fully escape the "Wait Awhile" mentality and enjoy lightning-fast internet, upgrading your Wi-Fi router to one that supports modern Wi-Fi 6 or later is crucial. Older routers will bottleneck your high-speed fibre, limiting your network performance and keeping you waiting. To truly experience fibre’s full potential, consider Ethernet connections for stationary devices like smart TVs and gaming consoles—no more buffering during the AFL grand finals or weekend binge-watching. Regular firmware updates will also keep your devices humming smoothly and securely.

Historical Fact: Australia's first public Wi-Fi hotspot launched in Adelaide in 2003, paving the way for widespread wireless connectivity across the nation.
