How we picked these
Here's a rapid-fire list of five questions to ask yourself before you start comparing internet plans.
If anything feels a bit fuzzy, don't worry - we'll unpack it all just after.
What type of internet plan are you after? In Australia, you'll generally have access to one or more of these: NBN (including fixed-line, fixed wireless or satellite), home wireless broadband or mobile broadband. What's available depends on where you live.
What's your budget? Our research shows the average broadband bill in Australia is $78 a month, but your cost will depend on the speed you need and which provider you go with. Finder compares over 50+ providers, so there's plenty of choice when it comes to price.
What internet speeds do you want? It comes down to how many people are in your home and what you're using the internet for. More users and heavier activities (streaming in 4K, uploading or downloading large files regularly or gaming) usually mean you'll want faster speeds.
How much data do you need? Most internet plans these days come with unlimited data, providing peace of mind. But with mobile broadband or NBN satellite, data caps are more common, so it's important to check that the allowance suits your internet use. Take a look at our guide to get a better idea of how much data you might need.
Contracts or no contracts? Most providers these days offer no lock-in contracts. Just make sure to read the terms and conditions before signing up.
When it comes to picking an internet plan in Australia, you'll usually be looking at one of three main types.
The NBN (National Broadband Network) is what most of us use to get online in Australia.
It's a government-owned network, built and maintained by NBN Co, with plans sold through a range of internet providers.
Since the NBN uses a mix of technologies like fixed-line (available to around 90% of Aussies), fixed wireless, and satellite, your connection type will depend on where you live.
That's why your address plays such a big role when signing up for an NBN plan.
Home wireless broadband has quickly become a popular alternative for those who aren't happy with their NBN connection or can't get access to it.
It runs on the same 4G or 5G mobile networks as your phone, but instead of using a portable device, your provider sends you a modem designed specifically for home use. Just plug it in and you're good to go.
5G home wireless broadband - or 5G home internet for short - can offer speeds similar to some NBN connections.
The main caveat is that fewer providers offer home wireless broadband plans, and availability will depend on your address.
Mobile broadband works similarly to your mobile phone plan, just without the calls and texts.
You can use a data-only SIM in a tablet or phone, or insert it into a Wi-Fi dongle that plugs into a USB port.
Alternatively, you can use a portable Wi-Fi modem (also known as pocket Wi-Fi), which can be handy if you want to create a hotspot for multiple devices.
We calculated potential savings by comparing the prices of the cheapest and most expensive broadband plans in our database (as of 3 June 2025) over a 12-month period.
People often zone out when it comes to internet speeds because really, who cares about megabits per second (Mbps)? Most of us just want to know if it's good enough for their internet needs.
We get it. So here's a simple breakdown of how to choose between NBN and home wireless broadband speeds.
Selecting the right NBN speed tier comes down to how many people are in your household and what you want to do.

Awards are a great way to narrow down the best of the best. See which providers topped this year's broadband awards.
TPG has claimed Finder's Provider of the Year Award for broadband with a cracking score of 9.9. It's mostly to do with competitive pricing across the majority of its NBN and home wireless internet plans that come with no lock-in contracts, speed reliability and multiple customer support options. TPG also scored highly for customer experience, value, reliability, and trustworthiness.
Dodo knocked it out of the park with its competitive pricing for everday speeds (NBN 50). You can BYO or buy one with multiple payment options to suit your needs. There's also the option to bundle internet and energy with Dodo to save up to $10 a month.
Highly commended: SpinTel
Highly commended: Southern Phone
Dodo takes home another win for delivering fast speeds at a great price point. Its recent 12-month discounts have given it the edge this year. It's also been in the top five in the last few ACCC reports, which measure speed reliability on a quarterly basis.
SpinTel earns its first win for Best Budget NBN Provider by delivering the maximum typical evening speeds available on an NBN 25 plan, coupled with one of the lowest prices in this category.
Highly commended: Dodo
Highly commended: Southern Phone
In addition to scoring well for speed reliability in the ACCC's recent broadband performance report, TPG's NBN 250 plan offers solid value at just under $100 a month. New customers can often take advantage of six-month sign-up discounts, bringing the price down to under $85 a month for the first half of the year.

Your speeds on a 4G home wireless broadband plan will normally cap out at 25Mbps.
For 5G home internet, providers tend to lean towards plans with either a maximum of 50Mbps or 100Mbps speeds.
Some providers, like Telstra, SpinTel and Optus offer faster or even uncapped speeds.

I want home internet, currently have a telstra mobile plan $49 per month want a plan now that combines home internet & mobile so I can use my laptop at home. Single pensioner, don’t want WiFi, don’t trust. Need a modem/router supplied also.
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?
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.
why will my I pad drop out and not reconnect when I put the password in from the back of the modem which connect my lap top and tablet regards R Freeman
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.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
