Internet filter could scupper NBN speeds

An internet service provider (ISP) says the Federal Government's proposed filter has the potential to cause bottlenecks and webpage blackouts, making its high-speed National Broadband Network less viable.

The Government announced the filter two years ago as part of its cyber safety program to protect children from pornography and offensive material. Last year it ran tests on the system.

John Lindsay from internet company Internode says such a filtering slowdown will make a big difference to businesses, especially when downloading files.
