The speed best suited to you all depends on what you will be using the internet for and how many people will be using it. Brsk offers 4 different BetterNet broadband products - 150Mbps, 500Mbps, 1000Mbps (1Gbps) and 2000Mbps (2Gbps).*

  • If you are a 1-person or 2-people household, 150Mbps should be more than enough for you.

  • If you have at least 4 people living in your home, we recommend you go for the 500Mbps option.

  • If you have more than 4 people living in your home or are a power-user of the internet, we recommend ordering the 1Gbps product.

  • If you love tech and want the latest, greatest technology available, then the 2Gbps product is for you.

*Average speeds, achievable by users using a fixed connection (eg. Ethernet cable), are 1800Mbps on a 2Gbps connection, 900Mb on a 1Gbs connection, 500Mb on a 500Mb connection and 150Mb on a 150Mb connection. Please note that speeds drop by at least 20% over Wi-Fi and continue to drop the further you get from the router. Your own device (laptop or computer) may also limit the speeds you experience. Think of it like this - we're giving you a 2023 Formula 1 Ferrari engine, but if you put it into a 1960s VW Beetle, the Beetle is only going to take you so far (and so fast).

If you need excellent Wi-Fi speeds and coverage in every room of your home, we highly recommend you purchase a mesh system like BetterWifi (which acts to "repeat" your Wi-Fi signal across your home).
