Why compare internet plans with Finder?
We don't charge extra. Prices shown on Finder are the same as those you get directly from internet providers.
We compare almost every major internet provider in Australia, all in one place.
Our team is dedicated to monitoring internet plan prices and keeping deals updated daily.
We calculated potential savings by comparing the prices of the cheapest and most expensive broadband plans in our database (as of December 2023) 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 about $1,000 in a year by opting for the cheapest NBN 250 or NBN 1000 plan, the most relevant savings figure is $390.60 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.
The difference between the most expensive and cheapest plans for the NBN 50 speed tier has further reduced this month due to NBN providers raising prices due to changes made in NBN Co's SAU. Back in November, the difference was over $450.
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.
How much should I be spending on broadband?
The average cost of broadband (November 2023) is $77 per month. According to our consumer sentiment tracker, the highest average spend was $85 in December 2022. Since then, we've since seen a gradual trend downwards. If you're paying more than $77 a month, it could be worth switching.
Every year, we hold the Finder Awards to crown the top-performing brands for customer satisfaction, value and sustainability. Here are the most recent internet plan winners at the Finder Awards:
Exetel came away with a double win for both everyday use and fast speeds. It consistently ranks highly for speed reliability as measured by the ACCC quarterly broadband performance report.
Highly commended NBN providers for both categories were Tangerine and SpinTel.
After being a finalist for the last couple years, Goodtel scored the crown this year for its sustainable practices. It scored well for its low emissions intensity, renewable energy use and high recycling rates.
This year's Finder award for best rated NBN provider goes to Aussie Broadband after it was rated highly by customers based on customer service, plan features, benefits and overall satisfaction.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Consider these 5 questions while you're comparing internet plans to make sure you find one that's right for you.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good for a single-person home with basic internet needs such as browsing, social media and light streaming.
Suited to 1- or 2-person households that want to browse, stream and work from home.
Best for a 2- to 3-person household with medium internet usage such as streaming Netflix, browsing, downloading files and taking Zoom video calls.
For 3-4 people who are simultaneously online. You can avoid buffering internet issues while streaming, working from home or uploading and downloading files.
This could suit households with 5+ people that watch multiple 4K streams, are mostly working from home or are serious gamers.
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.
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.

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

We are considering changing from Telstra to TPG for our internet & home phone since we are low users of internet. Just need to know if the $29.99 NBN offer is still available could you explain what it offers please?
Hi Trina,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
Yes, $29.99 still exist with TPG however it does not include unlimited calls within Australia. It has included data of up to 10GB. I suggest that you contact TPG directly on this matter so they can also tailor fit the plan that would suit your telephone and internet needs.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni
