While Aussie Broadband has a lot going for it, including fast speeds, consider:
"The Aussie Broadband NBN Super Fast (NBN 250) has been more than adequate for our household of 9 people, and was relatively easy to set up. Aussie Broadband has always been very proactive in alerting us to any maintenance or connectivity issues, although these have been rare."
That means at the busiest hours of the day (7-11pm), you won't have to deal with buffering issues.
Besides its primary range of NBN plans, its NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans also offer some of the fastest typical evening speeds on the market, coming second only to Telstra.
Aussie Broadband offers a BYO modem option if you already have one from your previous provider so you don't have to fork out an additional modem cost.
Otherwise, you can grab one from Aussie for $216, which is a little more expensive than the average price of a modem.
While the prices won't blow a hole in your budget, you could find better priced plans with better data inclusions elsewhere.
In June 2026 , Aussie Broadband placed 10th (out of 10 providers) in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7-11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 95.2% of the time.
