While it's primarily known for its entertainment packs, you can also grab an NBN plan from Foxtel as a standalone plan or bundled with a streaming pack.
There's no real advantage to getting it bundled - the cost is the same as getting the plan and the pack separately - but you do get pretty decent speeds with Foxtel's NBN plans.
Foxtel NBN could be right for you if:
However, keep in mind that Foxtel:
Foxtel's standalone NBN plans are priced around the Finder average for their respective speed tiers.
You can bring your own modem or purchase one from Foxtel for $140, which is above the Finder average cost of $118.
You can bundle the NBN plan with the following 5 entertainment plans:
Since Foxtel is not a primarily NBN broadband provider, it is not in the latest ACCC Broadband Performance Report through which the reliability of its NBN speeds could be verified.
However, it ranked first in the Netflix ISP Speed Index for Australia in October 2022. This Index measures the prime time performance of Netflix streaming by internet providers across the country.
You can get in touch with the Foxtel team in the following ways:
Besides its array of entertainment packs to choose from, Foxtel only has one additional noteworthy feature:
You can add a standard Netflix subscription to Foxtel's entertainment packs for $17 per month both on a fixed-term contract and no lock-in contract plan.
This is a little cheaper than the $18.99 per month you'd be paying if you signed up to Netflix separately.
For cheaper NBN:
Tangerine has some of the cheapest plans on Finder and offers 6-month sign-up discounts to sweeten the deal.
For extra features:
iiNet offers call packs for free on its NBN plans for pay-as-you-go calls.
For reliable speeds:
Exetel has topped multiple ACCC broadband performance reports for delivering top-tier speeds across its plans.
Unfortunately, Foxtel NBN isn't available to sign up to online. You'll need to call Foxtel to discuss signing up to any of its NBN plans or bundles.
You can also compare NBN plans from other internet providers in Australia to see if you can find a better deal.
What if I'm moving house?
If you're moving, you'll need to get in touch with Foxtel to check whether Foxtel TV and NBN are available at your new address. Keep in mind that it could take up to 5 business days to get connected.
In case there's a notice period to account for, make sure you leave sufficient time to let your current provider know you're leaving. You don't want to be stuck paying for 2 internet services.

Is 50/20 the fastest available with foxtel broadband … i seem to buffer quite a lot when I use my brothers service when I visit ???
Hi there,
Foxtel broadband also offers an upgrade to an NBN 100/20 tier, but you’d have to contact them direct to see if you’re eligible to get this.
Hope this helps.
I currently have a bundled service with Telstra including Foxtel sport and entertainment including movies. I also have 3 mobiles on an Optus plan and Opus sport.
My question is should I go completely with Optus or with Telstra or can NBN service providers cover everything as a bundles service.
Hi Phil,
Thank you for reaching out to Finder.
The best provider for you depends on your own personal circumstances such as location, coverage, and the plan or package you’re looking for. Our comparison between Telstra and Optus might help you decide which provider suits you. You can also check other providers offering NBN bundles. You can use our comparison table to help narrow down your options. When your ready, press the “Go to Site” button to be redirected to the provider’s website where you can sign up.
As a gentle reminder, please ensure you review the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
Cheers,
Reggie
