DGtek Fibre Network
Connecting Melbourne, one fibre at a time.
Australia has some of the world's slowest and most expensive internet access. Our fibre network is steadily growing, providing affordable, super fast Internet to every building we connect to in Melbourne.
The Internet is the essential service of our time. Just like water and electricity, it is something that should always work. DGtek offers super-fast, low latency, reliable fibre broadband internet and hassle-free connection. No "average peak speeds", less than contracted tier - we always deliver our promised speeds and performance.

How did your internet connection fare?
- Download
Most Australian households have a connection speed somewhere between 25-100Mbps. These speeds often go down depending on the time of day and amount of traffic.
DGtek can offer speeds up to 1000Mbps without the same level of congestion.
- Ping
Ping or latency measures the amount of time it takes for a server to respond to a request made by your device. This is especially important when gaming. The average for Australia is somewhere between 10-30 milliseconds.
DGtek will generally connect to Australian servers with a 1ms ping.
- Upload
Almost all Australian carriers offer asynchronous bandwidth. So while you pay for a 100mbps connection, you will be limited to 20-40Mbps upload.
DGtek offers synchronous bandwidth meaning you can upload as fast as you download.
- Jitter
Jitter measures the amount of variation in ping. If you are on a congested connection, you will experience higher variation causing things like streaming and gaming to lag intermittently.
DGtek offers an extremely stable connection with almost no jitter.

Will my speed vary during peak hours?
DGtek actively manages network contention to prevent overloading, which can lead to slowdowns. As a result, our typical evening speeds consistently meet the speeds stated in our plans.
Can I get DGtek fibre in my home if I'm renting?
Yes. However, for your own protection, ensuring you aren’t breaching your tenancy terms, you can ask your landlord or property manager for written or verbal permission before you order fibre from a broadband provider. If you provide your landlord details to us, DGtek can assist you in obtaining your landlord's permission. Fibre broadband will also benefit your landlord as a direct fibre connection has been shown to increase property values.
