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 2025 Finder Broadband Awards.
It was also highly commended in 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.
Pros
Frequent introductory discounts
$15 a month bundling discount on internet, mobile and energy plans
Option to bring your own modem or spread the cost over 24 months if you don't want to pay upfront
No lock-in contracts
Cons
Doesn't offer the fastest NBN speed tier (NBN 2000)
You can only pay via direct debit

How we picked these
What features are included with Dodo's NBN plans?
Dodo doesn't offer many bells and whistles, but it does have simple perks like bundling discounts and flexible modem options.
Bundling discounts
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.
Modem options
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.
How does Dodo rate for performance?
Here's how Dodo performs across different plans, including what to expect during the busy evening period.
Advertised typical evening speeds
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.
Actual speeds vs advertised
When it comes to actual speeds, Dodo is currently over-delivering on what it advertises.
It shows Dodo is performing exceptionally well right now, jumping to 2nd place overall among the major providers.
During the busy evening hours (7-11pm) when networks are usually congested, its download speeds actually beat the advertised maximum, clocking in at 101.5%.
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.
How does Dodo rate for customer service?
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Dodo supports BYO modems as long as they are compatible with your NBN connection type and speed tier. You'll need to configure it yourself, but Dodo provides setup guides on its website.
No, Dodo no longer offers home phone services for new customers. If you require a landline, you'll need to consider a different provider or use VoIP services separately.
Connection times vary depending on your address and whether you're switching from another provider. If your home is already NBN-ready and you have a compatible modem, activation can take as little as 1 hour. On average, it may take 1-10 business days.
You can nominate a connection date during the sign-up process or contact Dodo to arrange a move. Keep in mind that moving may affect your eligibility for promotional pricing or require a new connection setup.
Yes, especially on higher-tier plans like NBN 100, NBN 500, NBN 750 and NBN 1000. These plans offer enough bandwidth for smooth 4K streaming and low-latency gaming, provided your home setup and connection type support it.
Yes, Dodo uses Carrier-Grade NAT (CG-NAT) to manage its IP address pool. This may affect users who need a public IP address for things like remote access, hosting servers or certain smart home setups. Most users won't notice any difference.

I have the broadband unlimited plan with dodo and apple tv connected….do I still turn off the wifi if I’m not watching the apple tv…I’m worried that if I switch off the wifi I will loose all my setting….it took me ages to set up due to dodo blocking normal setting up of apple tv.

Hi Tanjak,
Except for power consumption, there’s no reason to switch your modem off overnight. Even so, switching your modem off will not delete its settings. You would have to perform a factory reset to delete any settings you’ve changed.
Hope that answers your question,
Brodie

Do the packages for Fetch TV include Lifestyle and UKTV
BrodieSeptember 16, 2015
Hi there Cheryl,
Fetch TV’s entertainment package included UKTV but not Lifestyle. However, there are a number of channels of a similar vein, for example, Style, Food Network, Nat Geo People and the Travel Channel.
Thanks,
Brodie

I’ve just signed up to dodo fetch tv. In recorded some programs last night. When i went to play them today they wouldn’t work. Just a blank screen. Any ideas?
BrodieAugust 27, 2015
Hello, Lisa
It looks like many people are having a similar problem. I would recommend contacting Dodo’s customer service team. They’re likely to tell you ti format your Fetch TV box – if I’m correct in assuming you don’t have all that much recorded, this shouldn’t be too much of a worry for you. Alternatively, you could wait for the next firmware update to be released.
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.
Looking for a contract-free NBN plan that lets you switch anytime? We’ve curated all available options - just choose the speed and price that work for you.
Find out if it's worth signing up to iiNet for your broadband connection.
Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
