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 $199 + $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.

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.

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.
