Dodo was a big winner in the 2026 Finder Awards.
Full list of 2026 broadband winners
Dodo is a well-rounded NBN provider offering unlimited data internet plans across the majority of speed tiers available, from NBN 25 right up to NBN 1000.
Its biggest drawcard is value. It often runs 6-12 month introductory discounts, with competitive ongoing pricing that keeps it among the more affordable options.
That's a big reason it won Best Everyday Use NBN Provider and Best Fast Speeds NBN Provider at the 2026 Finder Broadband Awards.
It also won Best Budget NBN Provider and Best Superfast Speeds NBN Provider.
Performance-wise, Dodo fares reasonably well, even during the busiest times of the day when most people are online.
It's not the absolute fastest, but it reliably delivers the speeds it advertises.
These plans are available in most NBN-covered areas, though speeds faster than NBN 100 require an FTTP or HFC connection. Entering your address on Dodo's website will show you which plans are available with your connection type.
We designed the Finder Score to simplify your search for the best NBN and Home Wireless plans. By analysing hundreds of options from 40+ providers, we evaluate pricing, speeds, data allowances and plan features. Each factor is weighted and combined to generate a score out of 10 — helping you quickly spot the most competitive plans on the market. Read the full breakdown.
Dodo offers fixed wireless NBN plans for regional and rural areas where a standard fixed-line connection isn't available.
Dodo doesn't offer many bells and whistles, but it does have simple perks like bundling discounts and flexible modem options.
You can save $5 a month by bundling your Dodo NBN plan with one of its mobile plans.
In its energy plans, there's an extra $10 monthly discount for bundling energy services.
Dodo gives you the choice to bring your own modem or purchase one through them.
Its 'Family Modem' costs $169.90 upfront or $7.50 a month over 24 months.
It comes pre-configured for easy setup and supports high-speed plans. If you already have a compatible modem, you can skip this cost entirely.
Here's how Dodo performs across different plans, including what to expect during the busy evening period.
While Dodo advertises that its NBN 25, 50, and 100 plans can hit full speeds during the busy 7pm-11pm evening period, the higher-speed plans simply deliver slightly less than the maximum for their tiers.
For example, the Superfast (NBN 750) and Ultrafast (NBN 1000) plans typically reach around 740Mbps and 800Mbps in the evening.
In the ACCC's final speed report, Dodo delivered more than its advertised speeds.
Data from the ACCC's Measuring Broadband Australia report tracks real-world speeds across all hours.
It shows Dodo tied for 1st place overall among major providers, alongside iPrimus and Leaptel, in the ACCC's final Measuring Broadband Australia report (Report 33, based on March 2026 data) - the program has now concluded.
During the busy evening hours (7-11pm) when networks are usually congested, its download speeds still beat the advertised maximum, clocking in at 102.3% - among the strongest results of any major provider in the final report.
For most households, this means you shouldn't experience any buffering or lag while streaming, browsing, or jumping on video calls.
Upload speeds follow a similar pattern - slightly below the ideal at times, but sufficient for sending files, video calls, and general use.
Dodo's customer service is available 7 days a week, from 9am to 9pm AEST, via phone, live chat, email, and social media.
You can also manage your plan, billing, and support requests through the My Dodo online portal or app, which makes handling most account-related tasks quick and easy.
Skip the upfront costs with an internet plan that includes zero setup fees. Bring your own modem or snag one for $0 with some providers by staying connected for a set time.
Get lightning-fast speeds on a 5G home internet plan.
Home wireless broadband can be a good alternative to the NBN for some households, offering fast setup, similar speeds and unlimited data.

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

Hello. I’m a new dodo customer. Just signed up with them with NBN and lucky me I have it now activated with the help of dodos responsible technician. Its just within 1 week or after and Im all set. Just wondering about the Dodo fetch tv. I know Dodo is designed for budget conscious people but why there is one time activation fee included on each TV? I want my 4 tvs to get the fetch service but it would be 4 times for the one time activation.
Hello Megan.
Thanks for your question.
The reason why an activation fee is required, DoDo will provide you a fetch TV box with every activation request made. That way you will have a clear signal whenever you will be using the fetch TV box.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
