Hi.
I am interested in your ISP, but I am not sure which one I should take. I and my wife are pensioners living in a 145 m2 apartment. We mainly use it to watch YouTube, browsing and emails.
The building itself is relative new (1 1/2 years old) and according to the manager there is a NBN connection box on the ground floor.
Please advise which NBN plan is suitable for us. Thank you.
Hi Benny,
We’re not able to give personal advice, but you can make a decision on the best tier of plan based on your viewing habits. This guide can help you make that decision: based on what you’ve described, between 25 and 50 seems like the right fit (depending on how often you stream YouTube videos). Once you decide the speed you want (eg NBN 50), you can compare plans of that speed to find a price you’re happy with. Hope this helps and best of luck!
Kindly suggest 4-5 service providers for Tarneit area for TV + 3-4 computers. Thank you.
Hi SL, you can check out our list of popular internet providers here: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/providers. Their NBN 100 or NBN 500 plan should suit you — which one you get will depend on your connection type, but the price is the same either way. It’s just that some NBN connection types don’t support speeds faster than NBN 100. Hope this helps!
Can I keep my optusnet address if I change provider.
Hi David,
Generally, you can keep your optusnet.com.au email address when changing internet providers, but you must maintain an eligible, active Optus service (such as a mobile plan) to avoid losing it. If you cancel all Optus services, you will likely lose access to your email address.
What is the best plan for seniors?
Hi Merry, the best plan really depends on what you need the internet for, as speed can affect the price. For many seniors, an NBN 25 plan is often a good choice. You can compare affordable NBN plans here: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/nbn/cheap-nbn-plans.
For context, Flip and Aussie Broadband offer senior discounts, but sometimes plans without a seniors discount can actually give you better value so it can pay to compare. Hope this helps!
Hi team, can you add some more transparency to the finder score.
I’m curious to understand how the finder score keeps changing for the same provider offer. I was about to purchase a plan for 500/50 that was rated as 10 last month but realised i had to give notice to my provider and now the same plan is listed as low 9s. What influenced the change?
Hi George, it’s great to hear you’re using Finder Score to find a good deal. To answer your question, the Finder Score can change for two reasons: 1) when the offer itself changes (which you mentioned hasn’t happened), or 2) if new NBN 500 plans or offers are added, as the score is calculated by comparing the plan you’re considering against all available offers in that speed category. So in short, the score might drop lower, if another brand’s offer is more compelling. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out again if you have anymore questions :)
