iiNet has NBN plans on each speed tier, so you can choose which one best suits your needs. They also offer home phone services for an additional cost per month.

iiNet review: What we think

Key features

Price: $59.99 monthly and up.
Technology type: Cable, ADSL2+, NBN, satellite.
NBN speeds: NBN12, NBN25, NBN50, NBN100.
Optional extras: Fetch TV, call packs.
Support: 24/7 phone, email.

Whatever sort of connection you're after, iiNet has it on offer. Its plans include fixed-line NBN connections in every speed tier, a handful of ADSL2+ options and it's even one of the few providers of satellite NBN to regional customers.

As far as fixed-line connections go, iiNet is on the slower side with its Premium plan (typical speed of 80.60Mbps vs. the ACCC average of 84.5Mbps), but its Standard Plus plan is a little above average (43.50Mbps vs. ACCC's average of 42.6Mbps). Prices are in line with Finder averages for their tier, except for their NBN50 plan which is $5/month cheaper.

iiNet also has award-winning customer service that's well recognised in the Australian broadband market. iiNet may have a plan for everyone and it offers pretty good value for money, but it isn't always the absolute cheapest available on the market.

What else does iiNet have to offer?

  • Call packs. If you're signing up for an NBN or DSL/ADSL2+ connection, an extra $10 a month gets you unlimited calls to landlines in 20 international destinations. This includes unlimited domestic calls within Australia.
  • Entertainment bundle. The top two DSL/ADSL2+ and NBN plans currently include a bundled entertainment pack if you sign up for a 6-month contract, providing Fetch TV and 30 free movies every month. This option comes with an extra $60 set-up fee.
  • Modem. If you do need a new modem for your service, iiNet will provide one for $99.95. That cost gets reduced by $59.95 if you sign up for a 6-month contract.

Is iiNet Internet right for you?

The good stuff

  • Plans for every speed tier.
  • NBN satellite available.
  • Award-winning customer support.
  • Fetch entertainment bundles.

The not-so-good stuff

  • Higher prices than some competitors.

The bottom line: iiNet continues to have one of the highest ratings for customer satisfaction in Australia. They're more expensive than some, but can provide any speed or technology you need, including satellite.

Compare iiNet's satellite NBN plans

If you're living in a regional area, or simply can't get a fixed-line connection to the NBN, satellite Internet may be your next available option. Watch out for peak and off-peak data limits as it may influence which plan you end up choosing.

No NBN? No worries. iiNet's still got you covered with a range of Naked DSL and ADSL2+ plans to suit your needs.

      Hi Vicki,

      Thanks for your inquiry

      When switching to NBN, your existing landline phone can be ported over to the new network. As the installation procedure may vary between providers and may depend on the present connection you have, it would be best to confirm directly from the installer. You may also want to check our How to Switch to NBN? page for additional information.

      Hope this information helps

      Cheers,
      Arnold

    I have 2 landlines at home and 1 dial up internet connection (iinet). My phone service is with a different company to my internet. I have been advised if I go with my phone carrier I will lose my current e-mail address. Is this correct ?
    Tks.Rod

      Hi Rod,

      Thanks for reaching out.
      If you’ve been with your ISP for a long time, you might have an email service tied to your provider. If you do, you should transfer your current emails and contacts to a third-party email service such as Gmail or Outlook before you switch so you do not lose your emails and contact information. The guide when switching providers is discussed further right here.

      Cheers,
      Joanne
