No matter what you're buying, there will never be one Internet plan that works perfectly for everybody. But here's how you can find one that's right for you.
This will be your biggest decision if you're looking for a better NBN plan. The right speed for you will depend on two factors: how many people use your Internet, and what you do with it.
In the table below, we've made recommendations on which NBN speed tier suits different sized households.
| How many people are in your household? | Best Internet plan | What is it best for? |
|---|---|---|
 | NBN 12 or NBN 25 |
|
 | NBN 25 or NBN 50 |
|
 | NBN 50 or NBN 100 |
|
 | NBN 100 or NBN 250 |

If you're looking to get wireless Internet like mobile broadband or home wireless, you won't really get a choice in speeds. These connection types will automatically use the fastest mobile network available in your area, which will be 3G, 4G or 5G if you're lucky.
If you're after 5G, you'll need to look for specific 5G Internet plans and make sure you're within the coverage area.
Use the Broadband Plan Finder™ to compare hundreds of different plans. We've highlighted the latest deals in green to help you spot them.
Keep in mind: These special offers are often sign-up discounts for the first 6-12 months of your plan. If you're not happy to pay the normal price of the plan, you'll need to set a reminder to switch providers before the promotion ends.
The monthly cost of an Internet plan is rarely the full amount you'll end up paying. Always check the set-up fees and modem costs involved in your final order.
Once you're connected, run a quick Internet speed test to see if it's living up to its promised speeds. If not, you should be able to either get your provider to fix it or switch to another provider with no penalty.
The best Internet plan will vary from person to person, depending on what you're after. You'll find NBN plans, mobile broadband or home wireless in the individual tabs below.. You can toggle with the filters to find the best deal for your needs.
If you're still not quite sure what the best Internet plan is for you, here are a couple of guides you may find helpful.
