How much can you save by comparing broadband?

We calculated potential savings by comparing the prices of the cheapest and most expensive broadband plans in our database (as of 3 October 2024) over a 12-month period.

We looked at unlimited NBN plans with no lock-in contracts. Here's the full list of savings for each NBN speed tier:

While you could save over $1000 in a year by opting for the cheapest NBN 1000 plan, the most relevant savings figure is $480 for NBN 50. This is because NBN 50 plans are the most popular in Australia. 44.2% of homes are signed up to an NBN 50 plan, according to the ACCC.

Keep in mind that your own savings figure may be different depending on the broadband plan you're currently on and the one you're considering switching to.

Australians spent $1.2 billion in loyalty tax on NBN in 2023

The cost of NBN plans has been changing since October, with NBN 50 plans becoming more expensive and NBN 100 plans becoming cheaper in comparison. Find out how much more you're paying on your utilities bill.

Winner provider of the year logo

2024 Finder Award for Provider of the Year

You can also BYO modem or bundle a home phone line for an additional $10 a month.

Highly commended NBN providers for both categories were Superloop and TPG.

Winner NBN provider everyday use logo

What types of internet plans can you get?

There are 2 types of broadband available: fixed line, which is a physical cable connected to your property; and wireless internet, which uses the same network as your mobile and is portable.

These are further broken down into sub-categories such as NBN, home wireless, mobile broadband and ADSL.

Picture not described

NBN

The NBN (National Broadband Network) is a network of high-speed fibre optic cables owned by the government and accessible to most Australians. Since it's made up of a mix of technologies, your actual NBN connection type will vary depending on where you live. This is why your address matters so much when buying an NBN plan.

  • Availability: Pop your address into our comparison table to see if the NBN is available in your area and compare plans that you can access.
ADSL

ADSL

ADSL uses copper telephone lines to send data signals. It isn't capable of transferring data as quickly as the NBN. Now that the NBN rollout is officially complete, most Aussies have switched from the old ADSL technology to the NBN.

  • Availability: If you want a fixed line connection but don't have the NBN available at your address yet, you'll likely be looking for an ADSL plan.
Mobile Broadband

Mobile broadband

Mobile broadband is the same as the internet access you get with a mobile plan, except you can't make or receive calls or texts. You can stick the data-only SIM in your tablet, Wi-Fi dongle or phone to get online.

  • Availability: Mobile broadband is widely available across the country. If you get strong phone signals in your area, then you should be able to access it just fine (since it uses the same mobile networks as your phone).
Home wireless

Home wireless

This works exactly like mobile broadband with some extra features. You usually get a higher data allowance and a bigger modem, making it less portable. A home wireless broadband plan can be seen as an alternative to the NBN offering similar speeds or even faster if you get 5G coverage in your area.

  • Availability: This depends on the technology you're after. 4G home broadband is widely available across the country but 5G home internet is still rolling out across Australia. Check network coverage maps to see if you've got access.

How do I compare broadband plans?

Consider these 5 questions while you're comparing internet plans to make sure you find one that's right for you.

icon for willingness to pay

How much are you willing to pay?

Finder research shows the average broadband user spends $75 per month on their internet plan, but your budget might very well be different. The price of your plan will largely depend on what internet speed you're after.

icon for speedometer

What speed do you want?

This depends on the size of your household and what you're planning to use the internet for. The general rule is that the more people in your home and the more time you're spending on the internet, the faster the speed you'll need.

icon for internet

How much data do you need?

Unlimited is usually recommended if you use the internet regularly. Lighter users can potentially get away with plans that come with a specific data allowance, for example 10–500GB a month. This will save you around $5 a month, but may not be worth it if you think you'll exceed your data limit.

Icon for contract

Are you happy to sign up for a contract?

Most providers these days offer no lock-in contracts, so if you do sign up for a contracted plan, make sure there's something in it for you. This could be a free modem or a plan discount.

icon for preference and ratong

Do you have a preferred provider?

While we recommend keeping your options open when comparing, we know that not all providers are created equal. Your choice of internet provider matters for things such as customer service, tech support and reliability of advertised speeds.

Which internet speed is right for me?

There are 6 NBN speed tiers available in Australia:

1 user icon

NBN 12

Good for a single-person home with basic internet needs such as browsing, social media and light streaming.

2 user icon

NBN 25

Suited to 1- or 2-person households that want to browse, stream and work from home.

3 user icon

NBN 50

Best for a 2- to 3-person household with medium internet usage such as streaming Netflix, browsing, downloading files and taking Zoom video calls.

4 user icon

NBN 100

For 3-4 people who are simultaneously online. You can avoid buffering internet issues while streaming, working from home or uploading and downloading files.

6 user icon

NBN 250

This could suit households with 5+ people that watch multiple 4K streams, are mostly working from home or are serious gamers.

multiple user icon

NBN 1000

Mostly suited to small businesses rather than your regular family home, unless there are lots of people in your household with very heavy internet usage.

Did you know?
While most Australians are on an NBN 50 plan, Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker found that those on an NBN 100 plan are more satisfied than on any other speed tier. If your budget allows, getting a faster plan could mean less hassle with slow internet speeds, especially if you're in a working-from-home household.

Are internet bundles worth signing up for?

Bundling your broadband plan with your other utilities can help you keep your household bills organised in one place. Some providers offer a discount for bundling your services such as mobile and internet or electricity and internet. You'll find all your internet bundling options below.

      MariamMarch 26, 2024Finder

      Hi Pauly, if you’re trying to avoid Wi-Fi your bundling options are limited and you might be better off getting a home internet plan separately. Your options include a home wireless internet plan. By plugging in an ethernet cable directly to your laptop you can avoid using Wi-Fi. Alternatively, you could consider getting a mobile broadband plan and plugging in a dongle directly into your laptop. You can see the following guides to check out plans and more detailed information. Hope they help!

    Have been a Telstra customer for many years, but in recent times they have gotten rid of alumni staff discounts and prices have gone up, so I’m looking for a cheaper NBN plan. The only reason I am still with them is due to my longstanding Bigpond email account which I use as contact for most of my financial and personal contacts. Is there a way of keeping my existing email account while transferring to another provider?

      AvatarFinder
      AngusOctober 18, 2023Finder

      Your Bigpond email is tied to your Telstra account, so you’ll need to keep it if you want to maintain that email address. Hope this helps.

      Hi R&E Freeman,

      Thanks for your message. If your laptop and tablet can connect using the internet received and password from the back of the modem, then for sure there wouldn’t be a problem reconnecting your iPad as well.
