While Flip used to be called FlipTV, they now sell more than just television services. You can get a broadband connection from them at fairly low prices.
Flip has an NBN plan for every step of the speed tier and some of the lowest prices you can find. If you don't have a modem, you'll have to pay $149 for Flip's.
With Flip, you're able to bring your own modem or buy the version they suggest. This will cost you $149 + $20 shipping if you decide to go with Flip's recommended modem. Save $5 monthly of all but the NBN100 plan when you use Flip's "pay in advance" (PIA) payment method.
Flip's Internet plans share the following features:
$34 and up monthly
NBN
Basic I, Basic II, Standard, Fast
Flip TV, national and international call packs
Phone until 7pm weekdays, 4pm weekends (closed Sunday) AEDT and online chat
For a former television-only provider, Flip has burst into the Internet market with a passion, providing some great value NBN packages. You can choose from any speed tier on the NBN from only $34 a month, with some of the cheapest deals on the market. All of their plans fall $5 to $10 below the Finder monthly averages for their tier, except their Fast speed plan.
On top of this, Flip's "pay in advance" feature lets you save an extra $5 monthly on all but its top offering in exchange for keeping a month ahead of your bills. Combined with its nice average connection speeds (e.g. its NBN50 typical evening speed is 48.00Mbps vs. the ACCC average of 42.6Mbps), it's hard to deny the value of Flip's cheaper offerings.
The only plan that doesn't stack up too well is its NBN100, which ends up more expensive than many others of its type. Finally, if you're into European or South American local television channels, Flip TV is one of a kind in letting you view local stations.
The bottom line: Flip has broken into the broadband business with a fantastically cheap suite of NBN plans from just $50 a month.

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.

Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
