Last updated 15 June 2021. All plans offer between NBN 25 and NBN 100 speeds.
Finding the right NBN plan means looking at:
We've taken an in-depth look at each category to help you avoid any Internet woes in the future.
The NBN is divided into 6 speed tiers. This can make choosing a plan slightly difficult if you aren't familiar with them.
For most Aussies, NBN 12 plans won't be fast enough but NBN 1000 plans will be overkill.
The below graphic breaks down which NBN speed tier will best suit your household.
1-2 people for basic Internet use like browsing and streaming.
2-3 people for regular Internet use like streaming, working from home and gaming.
4+ people for heavy Internet use like streaming, working from home, big downloads and more.
5+ people for heavy Internet use like streaming, working from home, big downloads, gaming and more. Also suitable for small businesses.
You can find out more on NBN speeds here.
Your monthly cost will depend on what speeds and data limits you're after.
We analysed 302 fixed line NBN plans with unlimited data in our database to find the average price of plans on different speed tiers.
To give you a general idea, you could be paying anywhere between $55 and $112 per month depending on which speed tier your NBN plan is on.
| NBN speed tier | Average price per month |
|---|---|
| NBN 12 | $55.15 |
| NBN 25 | $64.73 |
| NBN 50 | $71.95 |
| NBN 100 | $89.41 |
| NBN 250 | $107.79 |
| NBN 1000 | $112.58 |
Figures last updated 15 June 2021.
Please note that we've only considered unlimited data plans to make comparison between providers easier for you. Almost all providers are offering unlimited data plans but their data-capped offers can vary greatly.
If the amount you're currently paying is higher than the average for your plan, you should consider comparing your options to find a better NBN deal.
Unlimited data NBN plans might be the norm these days but you can get data-capped deals from 10GB per month all the way up to 500GB and more.
Given the average Aussie uses 258GB of data per month, we've compared NBN 25 plans that come with 200-500GB to their unlimited counterparts to see how much you stand to save.
| Provider | Data amount | Data-capped price | Unlimited data price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SpinTel | 200GB | $49.95/month | $59.95/month | $10 |
| iPrimus | 250GB | $65/month | $70/month | $5 |
| Aussie Broadband | 500GB | $65/month | $69/month | $4 |
As you can see in the table above, data-capped plans will almost always be cheaper than their unlimited counterparts.
However, the difference is usually quite small. An extra $4 to $10 a month, or up to $120 a year, will ensure you don't have to worry about hitting a data limit (unless you're not a regular Internet user).
The good news is that most NBN providers won't charge you for going over your data limit, and will instead slow down your speed.
Switching NBN plans is fairly simple. Here's a breakdown of all the steps you'll need to follow:
You can read our guide to switching NBN providers for more details.
It's easy to have the NBN installed at your home for the first time. All you need is your address to get started.
Head to our main guide on how to connect to the NBN for more details. We have a specific one for NBN apartment installation too.
Luckily for us, the ACCC carries out audits every 3 months on who is the fastest and most reliable NBN provider.
It ranks NBN providers by their consistent delivery of advertised maximum speeds. The higher the percentage, the better the provider's ranking.
| Rank | Provider | Downloads (peak hours) | Uploads (overall) | Downloads (overall) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | TPG | 96.9% | 86.3% | 98.7% |
| #2 | Optus | 97.2% | 83.9% | 98.7% |
| #3 | Telstra | 94.0% | 83.4% | 97.1% |
| #4 | iiNet | 93.9% | 85.1% | 95.7% |
| #5 | Aussie Broadband | 94.0% | 81.9% | 96.3% |

The best NBN plan really depends on what you're looking for. There isn't one NBN plan that will be the best for everyone.
Fortunately, our team of experts analyses all the NBN plans in our database at the start of each month to help you narrow down your search. You can check out our top picks for the best NBN plans here.
The cheapest NBN plan will often come with NBN 12 speeds, which isn't really great unless you live on your own and don't use the Internet often.
For a more helpful idea of what cheap NBN plans are available, check out our guide on NBN plans under $50 to give yourself more options to pick from.
This depends on your NBN connection type and whether or not you already own one.
You'll need a modem if you have Fibre to the Node NBN, Fibre to the Building NBN or Fibre to the Curb NBN, and you're connecting to the NBN for the first time.
Otherwise, if you're switching NBN providers and already have your own modem from your previous provider, you might not need to buy a new one. Many providers have BYO modem options.
We asked 19 providers how long it takes to connect to a new NBN plan and the most common answer we found was 1-3 days if you already have an NBN connection (and modem) on your premises. Otherwise it can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to get connected.
If you input your address above, we'll automatically match NBN plans to your property's specific connection type. You can also read more about the different types of NBN connections here.
Luckily for you, the NBN doesn't require a phone line to connect the Internet to your premises.
If you would still like to use your home phone with your NBN connection, make sure the plan you sign up to offers this feature. You can compare home phone and Internet bundles here.
The NBN roll-out was officially completed at the end of 2020. If you still don't have access to it or haven't been notified that it's available in your area, check out the status on our NBN tracker.
If you've received notice that the NBN is now available in your area, you have 18 months from the day of your notice to switch from ADSL or cable to the NBN before your old Internet connection gets cut off.

I need to get rid of 2 to 4 NBN recorded calls each day they are driving us mad.
Hi Allan,
Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear about your current situation with your NBN provider. While we review NBN in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of NBN directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!
With care,
Nikki
Hi, is there a hidden cost of $300 to be payed for the nbn
Hi Michael,
Thanks for getting in touch! I understand you want to get the full disclosure of NBN costs. Kindly note that while we have a review and comparison page for NBN providers, we don’t work with them directly. It would be best to reach out to your chosen NBN provider to check the net costs of using their service.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Cheers,
Nikki
I have nbn connected but I was not consulted about the location of te internet access point in the house and would like it changed. How do I organise someone to change the access point. (I live in Somerton Park, Adelaide.
Hi Ian,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
In that case, you’ll need to contact the representative who installed your NBN connection. You may also directly reach out to NBN so they can refer you to an agent.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Faye

Hi Konnie,
Thanks for your message and for visiting Finder.
You may refer to our list of NBN plans. To show providers with contracts giving 12 months, you may use the filter on the top part of the table that says contract length, and please choose 12 months. Make sure to enter your exact address as well. Once you have chosen a particular plan, you may then click on the “Go to site” button and you will be redirected to the provider’s website where you can proceed with your application or get in touch with their representatives for further assistance.
Hope this helps! Should you have further questions, please feel free to message us again.
Kind regards,
Nikki
I will have FTTN and wish to use IVIEW and such will 25mb be sufficient download speed?

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
