With Inspired Broadband, you can pick up an NBN plan that falls into one of the top three speed tiers available. They run month to month and charge you an additional $5 fee if you don't pay by direct debit.
You can either bring your own modem or you can buy one from Inspired for $99.

Inspired Broadband is a Melbourne-based service provider that sells simple NBN connections.
However, one major caveat is that its terms and conditions claim that you waive your rights under the ACMA Customer Service Guarantee (CSG) if you sign up with it. This means it is under no obligation to deliver its minimum promised service and you can't seek financial compensation if it doesn't.
As far as plans go, Inspired doesn't have much to offer. The typical evening speeds aren't great, coming in under the average speeds for their tier (for example, their NBN50 plan has a typical speed of 40.90Mbps versus ACCC average of 49.1Mbps).
In a way, though, it's not that important, since without a CSA it could deliver you a terrible connection and you wouldn't be able to complain. Consider another provider if you want a reliable or cheap Internet connection.
Summary: Inspired Broadband's plans are fine for their price, but waiving your rights as a consumer by signing up with them means you might not get what you're paying for.
If you haven't quite got the NBN hooked up in your neighbourhood, you can get an ADSL plan from Inspired to keep you going until you can upgrade.
Inspired Broadband has only a single ADSL plan available, offering unlimited data for $59.95 per month. It comes on a 12-month contract and involves a $49.95 set-up fee, which includes a modem.
ADSL connections tend to have a typical evening speed of about 8Mbps during busy periods of the day. Terminating your contract early will cost you a flat fee of $99.

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling 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.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
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. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
