You might be familiar with Dodo from the days of ADSL, but its NBN plans aren't too shabby either.
Dodo's prices put it in line with average NBN prices on Finder, and you can save a further $10 a month when you bundle your internet plan with a Dodo Energy plan.
Dodo NBN may be right for you if
You'd like an affordable NBN plan with decent sign-up discounts for new customers.
You're interested in bundling internet and energy with one provider.
While Dodo NBN has a lot going for it, consider
Its NBN 100 and 250 plans do not offer maximum typical evening speeds. You could find a better speed and price combo elsewhere.
Dodo's plans are in line with the average NBN plan on Finder thanks to its sign-up discounts on almost all plans.
Dodo offers a BYO modem option, so you don't have to fork out for an additional modem if you already have one.
Otherwise, you can grab one from Dodo for $79, which is cheaper than the average modem cost on Finder.
Performance
In March 2024, Dodo shared fifth (out of 12 providers) with iPrimus, in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 100.2%% of the time.
Why this matters: The ACCC Report allows customers to see which NBN providers are delivering the speeds they've advertised, as a measure of reliability.
This was Dodo's equal highest placing since having last ranked fifth in the December 2021 report.
Customer service
Dodo has several ways for you to get in touch with its customer support team, but only on weekdays. There are no weekend customer support options.
You can do the following:
Ring up the Dodo call centre between 9am–6pm AEST on weekdays
Reach out via live chat on its website or sling the customer support team an email
Log in to your account and submit a support request
Visit Dodo's support page for frequently asked questions
Leave a message on its Twitter or Facebook social media accounts
Bonus features
Dodo's NBN plans have just a couple of optional bonuses.
💰 Bundles
You'll get $10 off your monthly NBN bills when you bundle Dodo NBN with energy.
📶 Pre-loved modems
Get a refurbished modem for just $10. Modems are quality tested and come with a 6-month replacement warranty.
Which rivals are giving Dodo NBN a run for its money?
For more speed
If you're looking for NBN 1000 and faster typical evening speeds, you can consider Telstra. Keep in mind Telstra's premium plans come with premium prices.
For a cheaper option
SpinTel is a budget-friendly broadband provider with NBN 25 and NBN 50 plans that are a few bucks cheaper than Dodo's. Additionally, you can enjoy discounts on plans for the first 6 months.
For reliable speeds
Most of Exetel's plan prices are comparable, if not cheaper, than Dodo's, with the significant difference of Exetel topping numerous ACCC broadband performance reports.

You show the Dodo Unlimited 50/20 Mbps for $79.90 per month. There is an extra charge of $10 a month to cover all calls. Full set up costs are $232.90.
The iSelect salesman is offering me the same plan with all calls covered for $79.95. He has not mentioned any set up costs.
Can he provide me with this service at this price? Should I be careful about the no mention of set up costs?
Thanks for your enquiry. Unless iSelect has a unique deal with Dodo, it should only be able to offer you the regular Dodo service priced as you cited: $79.90 for 50Mbps, with $10 a month extra for unlimited calls.
As for the setup costs, it’s possible the iSelect offer was for a 24-month contract which waives the setup fee. The minimum cost you mentioned is correct for the month-to-month contract.
I hope this helps, but please feel free to ask any more questions you have!

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
