Compare NBN plans and deals with NBN Finder™

Find the NBN plan that's right for you with our comprehensive comparison tool.

The NBN will deliver high-speed internet to the majority of the Australian population. It's still being rolled out, but a majority of eligible properties can now connect.


The biggest thing to compare is typical evening speed - the speeds you'll get at peak congestion hours (7pm - 11pm). The most popular mid-range plans today offer around 40Mbps typical evening speed, but these can vary based on the technology in your area.

Check out the fastest NBN providers


Due to pressure from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Australian internet providers have published their expected peak evening speeds for the average user. This is generally a far better indicator of speeds consumers might achieve than the theoretical maximums previously used (NBN12, NBN25, NBN50, NBN100). We've compared the fastest peak evening speeds offered by NBN providers to help you choose the one that's right for you.

It can be hard to know which NBN plan to choose. We've designed a simple NBN usage quiz designed to deliver a personalised comparison of NBN plans that cater to your needs.

How to find the cheapest NBN plan

NBN plan prices are determined by the speed tier, data allowance and extra features that come with the plan. If you are after an NBN plan with mid-tier speeds minus the extra features, you can get a new plan starting from $49. If you're after a plan that includes streaming TV or phone calls, you can expect to pay considerably more with prices ranging from $80-$120.

Compare NBN plans with unlimited data

Unlimited data plans let you surf the net without worrying about exceeding your data limit, making these types of plans ideal for streaming TV and gaming. Unlimited NBN plans start from $49, offering unlimited data allowances and Basic (nbn12) speeds.

      Hi Richard,

      Thanks for your question.

      Are you pertaining to the ABC iview? If so, the recommended minimum Internet speed by ABC is 1.5Mbps. For best results, iview typically uses the following data speeds:

      60-minute program = up to 300MB of data on-demand and 360MB when live streaming
      30-minute program = up to 150MB of data on-demand and180MB when live streaming
      The 10-minute program = up to 50MB of data on-demand and 60MB when live streaming
      5-minute program = up to 25MB of data on-demand and 30MB when live streaming

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      May

    Hi, we need to get unto the new NBN system. I’m worried that I’ll be paying exorbitant amounts of money for speeds that are not available in my area. How do I know what the maximum speeds are for where I live given the infrastructure that has been installed in order for me to get a fair deal and also know what speeds to be expected?

      Hi Rebecca!

      Your internet service provider may be able to give you some estimates about the available speeds on your area by giving them a phone call. If you wish to have a second opinion, you may also request a technician to validate the current speeds but this may involve some fees depending on your provider and your existing plan.

      Migration to NBN is compulsory and once it is available, you only have 18 months to be transferred otherwise your services will be disconnected. You may want to talk to several providers as they have varying speed estimates and costs upon transfer.

      Hope this helps.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

    I was on the 25/4 plan with Dodo and have upgraded to 100/40 on fibre to the node. Is my speed likely to be achieved and if not who do I contact to get fibre to the premises and how much would it cost?

      Hi Ken!

      Thanks for the comment. You must be a heavy data user! :)

      We need to establish that you have cable or NBN connection in your area. Although speeds can only be estimated, it is important that you request a technician to do a speed test in your area just to make sure it matches your expectations. As for requesting the fibre and the costs, once you make a call to your provider, they will be making a quote about the monthly service fee, installation costs, even wiring should it goes beyond the standard distance.

      All the best!

      Cheers,
      Jonathan

      Hi Pete,

      Thanks for getting in touch with finder.com.au.

      In that case, you’ll need to contact the representative who installed your NBN broadband. You may also directly reach out to NBN so they can refer you to an agent.

      Hope this helps.

      Best Regards,
      Jhezelyn

      Hi Sue,

      Practically, that would depend on your preferences and internet connection needs and usage. You’d be best to contact an ISP who can advise what would be best for you. On this page, though you can compare the providers with NBN broadband plans. You may click on the ‘Go to site’ button if you wish to get redirected to the provider’s website.

      Hope this helps.

      Regards,
      Jonathan
