These internet providers deliver the fastest broadband speeds to their customers, however more expensive prices don't always provide better service.

According to a report of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Optus has the fastest speeds, closely followed by TPG and Extel, Aussie Broadband and Telstra.

The report also revealed that 10% of Australian customers were not getting the speed they had paid for.

Consumers who had plans with lower prices for 12Mbps were more likely than others to get the fastest possible download speeds. On average, 90.4 percent of their maximum speed was achieved.

Rod Sims, ACCC Chair said that, while speeds have improved in general but he believes that more action is needed to be taken by NBN Co and service providers for retailers to ensure that every consumer can access their full NBN plans speeds.

'Otherwise, they should be able to change to a lower-cost plan that has top speeds their connection can actually offer.'
