How we picked theseCustomer satisfaction is Aussie Broadband's bread and butter. It was once again ranked the number 1 NBN provider by customers in the 2026 Finder Customer Satisfaction Awards.
While its prices are slightly more expensive than its competitors, many customers don't seem to mind paying a few extra dollars (around $5-$10 more per month) for local support that's responsive.
Aussie Broadband could be right for you if:
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.
Performance for Aussie Broadband has continued to dip this quarter. While it remains ranked 10th, it is now delivering 95.2% of advertised speeds during peak times, down from 96.3% previously.

While we think Aussie Broadband has a lot to offer, there are other providers that offer similar plans for cheaper.
For another Aussie option:
Superloop is a great option for high speed NBN and costs less compared to Aussie Broadband. Plus, you have access to local customer support too if that's important to you.
For cheaper plans:
Tangerine offers some of the cheapest NBN plans on Finder. Despite being priced lower than Aussie Broadband, it still offers the same typical evening speeds on its NBN 25 and NBN 50 plans.
For more reliability:
If you're after another big brand that's performed well in speeds, Optus has got plenty to offer. Its plans are comparable to Aussie Broadband's but with a difference: Optus continually tops the charts of the ACCC Report for speed and reliability.
