Why Melbourne Enterprises Move to Dedicated Fibre in 2026
Dedicated fibre, also known as Enterprise Ethernet, is a fibre connection built exclusively for your business rather than shared across a neighbourhood. Upload and download speeds are symmetrical, and the connection comes with a contractual uptime guarantee.
Standard NBN is a shared, best-effort service. Dedicated fibre is a different category entirely: your bandwidth isn’t split with other tenants in your building, your upload speed matches your download speed, and if something goes wrong, restoration is measured against a service level agreement, not a queue. For a business running real-time cloud systems, VoIP across multiple sites, or large file transfers to off-site backup, that difference shows up daily.
Compare Dedicated Fibre Speed Tiers
Every tier is symmetrical and uncontended — the difference is how much bandwidth your business actually needs. Not sure which fits? Byteway sizes this to your real usage during the free assessment, not a generic recommendation.
| Speed Tier | Best For | Typical Use Case | Uptime SLA |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100Mbps | Small offices, single-site teams | Cloud apps, VoIP, everyday file sharing for 10–25 staff | 99.9%+ |
| 500Mbps | Growing or multi-site businesses | Larger file transfers, multiple concurrent video calls, offsite backup | 99.9%+ |
| 1000Mbps (1Gbps) | Data-heavy or cloud-first enterprises | Large teams, SD-WAN across sites, continuous heavy cloud/backup traffic | 99.9%+ |
Higher multi-gigabit tiers are available for large enterprise sites — speak to our team for a custom quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dedicated Fibre
What is dedicated fibre and how is it different from NBN?
Dedicated fibre is a fibre connection built exclusively for one business, with symmetrical speeds and a contractual uptime SLA. Standard NBN is shared, best-effort infrastructure. Dedicated fibre costs more but removes the shared-bandwidth risk entirely.
How much does dedicated fibre cost for a Melbourne business?
Dedicated fibre is priced well above standard business NBN and varies significantly by site and speed tier. Byteway checks your building's eligibility and provides a fixed quote, since bespoke infrastructure means bespoke pricing.
Is my business location eligible for dedicated fibre?
Eligibility depends on whether your premises sits within an NBN Business Fibre Zone or has existing fibre access. Byteway checks this as the first step of a free assessment, at no cost to you.
Why choose Byteway over a direct fibre carrier?
A direct carrier sells you the connection and stops there. Byteway manages the fibre alongside your phone systems, IT and cyber security, so a single team is accountable for your whole environment, not just the cable.
What uptime can I expect with dedicated fibre?
Dedicated fibre typically comes with an uptime SLA of 99.9% or higher, backed by priority fault restoration measured in hours rather than days.
Do I need dedicated fibre or is Business NBN enough?
If your business can tolerate occasional slowdowns and doesn't run heavy real-time, multi-site, or high-concurrency cloud systems, Business NBN is usually sufficient and considerably cheaper. Dedicated fibre earns its cost once downtime has a direct revenue impact. See our Business NBN page for a full comparison.
Do I need a 1000Mb (1Gbps) dedicated internet connection?
Most small-to-medium offices are well served by 100Mbps or 500Mbps dedicated fibre. A 1000Mbps (1Gbps) connection makes sense for larger teams, multi-site businesses running SD-WAN, or operations with continuous heavy cloud and backup traffic. Byteway can confirm the right tier for your actual usage during a free assessment, rather than recommending the highest tier by default.
