The main home-broadband providers across Australia include Telstra, Optus, TPG and Aussie Broadband. Which ones reach a given street varies, so check what is available at your address in Newcastle.
Most fixed broadband in Australia is delivered over the National Broadband Network (NBN), which these providers resell.
Across Australia, Ookla measured a median fixed-broadband download speed of 174.2 Mbps in August 2026 — enough, on paper, for six 4K streams at once at 25 Mbps each.
For a steady picture, use a wired connection or sit the TV close to the router, and keep other heavy downloads off the line while you watch in 4K.
