Since 2005, Harbour ISP has been providing Internet services all across Australia. It has a wide range of connection technologies on offer, from NBN to satellite to fixed wireless.
As far as prices go, Harbour ISP's NBN50 and NBN100 plans are roughly $10 cheaper per month than the Finder averages for the speed tiers. They don't hold up quite as well on the speed side, coming in a little underneath the industry averages (e.g. NBN100 typical evening speed of Mbps vs ACCC average of 84.5Mbps).
Harbour's satellite plans are quite competitive too, mostly cheaper across the board compared to another satellite provider like Reachnet. The lower tiers tend to have much higher off-peak data allowances if that's something that is useful for you.
Summary: Harbour ISP's fixed-line NBN plans are relatively low-priced with about average speeds, but you might have to sign a contract to avoid hefty activation and set-up fees.
You can get an unlimited data fixed wireless plan from Harbour ISP on a month-to-month basis or on a 12-month contract.
Satellite plans from Harbour ISP hook you up with a broadband connection using the SkyMuster satellites. Get a SkyMuster Plus plan if you want most of your Internet activity to be unmetered except for video streaming
You can buy your own modem or purchase one from Harbour ISP for $119.
Harbour ISP also has a set of SkyMuster Plus plans. These are similar to regular satellite plans, except that the majority of Internet activity is unmetered and won't use up your data allowance (excluding video streaming and VPN activity).
