You might be familiar with Dodo from the days of ADSL, but its NBN plans aren't too shabby either.
Dodo's prices put it in line with average NBN prices on Finder, and you can save a further $10 a month when you bundle your internet plan with a Dodo Energy plan.
Dodo NBN may be right for you if
While Dodo NBN has a lot going for it, consider
Dodo's plans are in line with the average NBN plan on Finder thanks to its sign-up discounts on almost all plans.
Dodo offers a BYO modem option, so you don't have to fork out for an additional modem if you already have one.
Otherwise, you can grab one from Dodo for $99, which is cheaper than the average modem cost on Finder by around $40.
In December 2022, Dodo shared the 8th rank (out of 12 providers) with iPrimus, in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 96.9% of the time.
Dodo's performance in these reports has improved in 2022, after ranking towards the lower end in 2021.
Dodo has several ways for you to get in touch with its customer support team, but only on weekdays. There are no weekend customer support options.
You can do the following:
Dodo's NBN plans have just a couple of optional bonuses.
You'll get $10 off your monthly NBN bills when you bundle Dodo NBN with energy.
Get a refurbished modem for just $10. Modems are quality tested and come with a 6-month replacement warranty.
For more speed
If you're looking for NBN 1000 and faster typical evening speeds, you can consider Telstra. Keep in mind Telstra's premium plans come with premium prices.
For a cheaper option
SpinTel is a budget-friendly broadband provider with NBN 25 and NBN 50 plans that are a few bucks cheaper than Dodo's. Additionally, you can enjoy discounts on plans for the first 6 months.
For reliable speeds
Most of Exetel's plan prices are comparable, if not cheaper, than Dodo's, with the significant difference of Exetel topping numerous ACCC broadband performance reports.
Signing up to Dodo NBN is fairly simple once you've worked out what plan is right for you.
For its NBN plans, simply click the green "Go to site" button in our comparison table. All you'll need to do then is type in your address to check the plan availability in your area and sign up to the NBN plan of your choice.
What if I'm moving house?
You can select a date during the sign-up process for when you'd like your new Dodo plan to be activated. Keep in mind that it could take up to 20 business days to get connected.
Make sure to give your current provider a heads-up in case there's a notice period to account for. No one wants to end up paying 2 NBN bills.

You show the Dodo Unlimited 50/20 Mbps for $79.90 per month. There is an extra charge of $10 a month to cover all calls. Full set up costs are $232.90.
The iSelect salesman is offering me the same plan with all calls covered for $79.95. He has not mentioned any set up costs.
Can he provide me with this service at this price? Should I be careful about the no mention of set up costs?
Hi Ty,
Thanks for your enquiry. Unless iSelect has a unique deal with Dodo, it should only be able to offer you the regular Dodo service priced as you cited: $79.90 for 50Mbps, with $10 a month extra for unlimited calls.
As for the setup costs, it’s possible the iSelect offer was for a 24-month contract which waives the setup fee. The minimum cost you mentioned is correct for the month-to-month contract.
I hope this helps, but please feel free to ask any more questions you have!
Regards,
Matt

Why is it that when i signed to dodo unlimited adsl 2 cheapest i could get was 89.dollars a month..now i see you’re offering unlimited regional at 59 dollars
Hi Steff,
Thanks for your question.
Please note that you’ve come through to finder.com.au we are an Australian financial comparison website and general information service, not actually Dodo.
For the Dodo ADSL2 + Unlimited Regional plan, the base amount is $59.90 but you will also need to pay for the monthly home phone line which is $29.90, so that makes the total amount of your monthly subscription to $89.80 for the plan.
Cheers,
May
