* Link speeds represent theoretical maximums only and network overheads will reduce the maximum achievable speed

^ Business ADSL, Multi-DSL and SHDSL feature an effective 1:1 performance ratio within our network in each state. This means that Connexus maintains its network with enough free capacity to allow business customers to reach their maximum speed at any time of day or night. However, due to network limitations, Connexus can only guarantee 1:1 throughput, on interstate connections, on the higher priced SHDSL and BDSL options with a ‘1:1 CIR’ option. In all cases, however, actual performance is dependent upon the speed at which the remote host is transmitting and the network connections within the actual internet.
