Compare Clear Networks NBN plans below
So long as you have an FTTP connection, Clear Networks has NBN plans representing every speed tier available from the NBN.
-
Clear Networks has a wide variety of choices when it comes to fixed-line NBN connections, representing all the different speed tiers. You build your own plan by picking a speed, a data cap, and a contract type: month to month, 12-, 24-, or 36-month contracts. We've listed the lowest price for each plan, which includes a 60GB data cap.
- Saver. Typical evening speed of 8.00Mbps. 60GB of data for $39.95 per month.
- Fast. Typical evening speed of 17.00Mbps. 60GB of data for $49.95 per month.
- Faster. Typical evening speed of 35.00Mbps. 60GB of data for $59.95 per month.
- Fastest. Typical evening speed of 70.00Mbps. 60GB of data for $69.95 per month.
While 60GB is the default, you can increase your data caps for the following price increases:- 120GB for an extra $5 per month.
- 250GB for an extra $10 per month.
- 500GB for an extra $20 per month.
- Unlimited data (only on NBN12 or NBN25) for an extra $30 per month.
- 1,000GB (only on NBN50 or NBN100) for an extra $30 per month.
If your plan runs month to month, you'll have to pay a $129 installation fee. This gets reduced on longer contracts.

Clear Networks works to provide IP networking to some of the more challenging regions of Australia. They have satellite, fixed wireless, fixed-line NBN, and Sky Muster Plus plans on offer.
Clear Network's fixed-line connections have much lower than average typical speeds, especially on the higher speed tiers (e.g. its NBN100 plan has a typical speed of just 70.00Mbps compared to the ACCC average of 84.5Mbps). On top of that, you can't get unlimited data on the faster connections, meaning that your high speed may not be worth much since you'll run out of data.
The flipside benefit of this is that if you're looking for the most basic connection available, you could get 60GB of data on an NBN12 connection for $39.95 per month - which is one of the cheapest NBN plans in our database. This is of questionable value, however, and having low data limits on its faster plans really harm them.
Beyond this, signing onto a contract with Clear Networks is a huge commitment. If you want to cancel out of any of their long-term contracts, you'll have to pay a cancellation fee equal to the full remaining value of the contract, with no upper limit, so make sure you know what you're signing up for.
Joining Clear Networks also gives you:
- Phone packs. Clear Networks has a ton of different call packs that come with a home phone line:
- Basic. Pay as you go calls for $6.95 extra monthly.
- Budget. Slightly cheaper (12c/min vs 15c/min) pay as you go calls for $12.95 extra monthly.
- Standard. Same rates as Budget, but includes 100 calls for $24.95 extra monthly.
- Cap. Unlimited local and national calls for $39.95 extra monthly.
- World. Same as Cap, but includes international calls to some destinations for a flat 20c per call. Costs $49.95 extra monthly.
- Bundling discount. If you sign up to a ClearTalk phone service, you will receive a $10 monthly discount on your broadband plan.
Is Clear Networks right for your needs?
Pros
- Wide variety. Whether it's NBN or satellite, Clear Networks has a broad set of plans to suit anyone's needs.
- Cheap low-data plans. If you really don't need that much data, you can get very limited Internet plans for $20 or $30 cheaper than regular unlimited plans.
Cons
- Slow speeds. Every single one of Clear Networks' fixed-line connections have typical speeds that are significantly slower than the ACCC averages for their tier.
- Limited data on high tiers. You can't get unlimited data on fixed line NBN50 or NBN100 plans.
- Expensive phone plans. You have to pay nearly $40 per month just to get free calls in Australia, not even including mobiles.
- Heavy early termination fees. If you cancel your plan early, you'll have to pay the full remaining value of the contract.
Summary: Clear Networks stands out as a regionally focused provider, but lags behind on its typical evening connection speeds.
