How do I test my ping on NBN?
You can test your NBN ping by using online tools just like Mr Telco Ping test. If you want to ping an Australian IP or website constantly, just press Change Server and enter in the web address you would like to run a latency ping test to. TIP: Ping an Australian server such as nbn.com.au, or even ping Google's DNS address 8.8.8.8.
What is a good ping speed for gaming on NBN?
For gaming, a ping under 50 ms is generally ideal, but constant ping of 20 ms is perfect as it minimizes game lag.
Pings between 50–100 ms are acceptable for most online games, but anything over 100 ms can lead to noticeable lag.
A stable, low ping ensures smooth gameplay and quick reaction times. Competitive gaming typically requires the lowest possible latency, so if your ping is high, you may want to investigate network optimization or consider upgrading to a faster plan.
Also an ISP who manages their own layer 1 and 2 network like Aussie Broadband will usually be a better choice, as they are able to manage, monitor and control their network better.
How can I run a continuous ping test on my computer?
For Windows, you can run a continuous ping test by opening Command Prompt and typing ping [IP address or domain] -t. This command will keep pinging until you stop it by pressing Ctrl + C.
On Linux and Mac, simply use the command ping [IP address] without additional flags. A continuous ping helps monitor connection stability, as you can observe any spikes in response times.
If you're not too savvy on the computer, we recommend just using our ping test above.
Why is my NBN ping so high during peak times?
NBN providers have to pay (to NBN) for traffic to be passed through NBNs network and out to their customers.
So lets say XYZ Broadband is paying $10,000 per month for a 40GB tunnel on NBNs network, which is running at 70% capacity, and all of a sudden they decide to promote their services to gamers and say 100 gamers sign up over a period of a month, who chew a lot of broadband capacity.
Chances are XYZ Broadbands' capacity has now reached 100% usage, especially in the evenings when users are watching ip tv, youtube, tik tok and gaming.
XYZ Broadband will have to make adjustment to their tunnel size with NBN in order to make customers happy again.
Can I check my NBN ping online without downloading software?
Yes! Just use the online ping function above! Feel free to update and change the server to which ever you choose.

Does DNS affect my NBN ping response?
Yes, its recommended to use the default DNS of your ISP, because they have likely got the most efficient name servers close to their network.
