Australians haven't had the easiest run with their internet connection despite the NBN completing its formal rollout across the country in late 2020.
That's because broadband infrastructure varies between properties and locations and not everyone has access to all the technology mixes available. That's where internet provider Gigacomm comes in with its value proposition.
Gigacomm is an independent internet service provider giving apartment residents an alternative to the NBN.
It operates its own network in the buildings it serves using G.fast and FTTP technology to deliver fibre internet.
Gigacomm seems to be addressing Australia's internet woes after it was ranked 67th in the world (from 182 countries) for fixed broadband in August 2022.
The Ookla Speedtest Global Index reported a median download speed of 52.62Mbps for Australia. In comparison, Singapore topped the list with 219.01Mbps.
Gigacomm promises households speeds of anywhere between 500Mbps and 2,000Mbps as long as it can connect to the property.
It could be right for you if you want the following:
While Gigacomm has a lot going for it, keep in mind:
While Gigacomm sounds great on paper, its availability is limited to areas in Sydney and Melbourne. However, it plans to expand to other major Australian cities.
You can check out the maps to see if it's servicing your home or simply plug in your address on Gigacomm's own website to find out.
Gigacomm offers some good value plans if you consider the speeds you get in return.
Prices start at $89 a month for 500Mbps and go up to $199 a month for 2,000Mbps.
To see how its prices compare, check our guides to NBN 500 and NBN 2000 plans. Only homes with FTTP or HFC connections can access NBN 500 and faster plans.
Gigacomm is a new service and not part of the NBN, which is why it's not included in the ACCC broadband performance report. We used that report as a reference for deducing the top internet providers in Australia, until the ACCC wound the programme up with a final edition in June 2026.
However, reviews on Trustpilot and Product Review seem to credit its fast speeds. Keep in mind there are just a handful of reviews but we'll keep you updated if we learn more about its speeds.
There are multiple ways to get in touch with Gigacomm. Its sales, customer support and technical support service teams are all Australia-based. You can:
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.
4G home internet is a great alternative if the NBN isn’t available or isn’t working for you and you don't need fast speeds.
