NBN (TC4 & Enterprise Ethernet)
When it comes to NBN, Australia’s national broadband network, services are not all created equal. While the availability of NBN services is increasing exponentially, the form and capabilities of these services varies widely.
NBN for Enterprise
Is performance your customers primary driver? Do your clients derive value on the basis of what connectivity allows their team to achieve? If so, NBN Enterprise Ethernet (NBN EE) is going to tick all the boxes.

NBN FOR SMEs
TC4 is a residential/SME class of service designed to provide best effort asymmetrical speeds up to 100Mbps download and 40Mbps upload. Ideal for use in locations with small teams and a lack of bandwidth hungry applications in use, or where price is the primary driver for your customer.
Unfortunately, with carrier support only provided between 8am and 5pm by default, our ability to restore services where the fault is due to a carrier issue is limited.
Looking for higher speeds or better support then NBN EE low COS is the option for you.
NBN TC4 Plans
NBN TC4 plans are suitable for your small business clients that rely on general internet activities but don’t necessarily need specialised, high priority services. At Lightwire we offer the following NBN TC4 plans;
- 50/20 Mbps
- 100/40 Mbps
- 250/100 Mbps
- 500/200 Mbps
- 1000/400 Mbps
Please keep in mind that NBN TC4 services are best effort. If you’ve got clients with strict speed or support requirements, we recommend NBN EE.

Variation in access types
NBN TC4 can be delivered via a range of access methods, with the type in use determining the type of router you need to deploy (or have us provide for you).
Here are the most common access types:
- Fibre to the node (FttN) - RJ11
- Fibre to the premise (FttP) - RJ45
- Fibre to the building (FttB) - RJ11 or RJ45 (it depends...)
- Fibre to the curb (FttC) -
- Hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) - RJ45
In cases where FttC or FttN is in use, it is important to pay attention to the pre-qual results to see what the maximum attainable speed is at an address as it often varies.
