Testing Services for the Measuring Broadband Australia (MBA) program

The MBA Program tests and publicly reports on the typical speed and performance of broadband plans provided, including those provided over Australia’s National Broadband Network. The MBA Program assists consumers to compare and make informed decisions about which broadband services meet their needs.

The Services provided by the Testing Provider must be independent and give the ACCC a source of accurate and reliable data of the highest standard, which can be readily verified and publicly reported by the ACCC, to enable consumers and others to compare performance across providers, plans and technologies. The Testing Provider will provide testing infrastructure, expertise and analysis under the ACCC’s direction to produce regular quarterly reports and other outputs to publicly report on the performance of retail broadband services in Australia.
