How do you find the best NBN plan?

Everyone's needs are different so consider the following when looking for the best NBN plan for your household:

What NBN speed are you after?
The size of your household and what you're doing on the internet will determine which speed is appropriate for you. While most Australians are on an NBN 50 plan, an NBN 100 plan could be better for you if the majority of your household works from home. In fact, Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker found that more Australians are satisfied with an NBN 100 plan compared to any other NBN speed tier.

Are you after a basic NBN plan or one with extra features?
Having extra perks tacked onto your plan can be nice, but consider whether you'll actually make use of these or if you're happy with just a simple plug and play NBN plan.

Do you need to buy a new modem?
If you already own a modem and are comfortable transferring it across to a new provider, it's a great way to keep your initial costs low. Otherwise, all providers offer a modem to purchase with your NBN plan. Just make sure you factor this cost in when you're signing up to your new plan.

"When I moved into my current apartment I just paid half the internet bills my roommate had signed up for ages ago when she moved in. Turns out she hadn't compared in a while and we were overpaying for pretty average speeds. A quick comparison took us from 90Mbps download speeds to over 200Mbps for $5 less per month."

Frequently asked questions

• Which NBN connection is the best?

  Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is the best type of NBN connection as it uses high-speed fibre optic cables from the NBN node to a connection box on your house.

  Anyone with an FTTP connection can get download speeds up to 1000Mbps.

  Read more about the different NBN connection types and find out which and find out which one's available at your address.

• What is the best NBN brand for 2025?

  Finder's broadband customer satisfaction awards are a great place to start. We ask hundreds of Aussies to rate their favourite NBN brand based on value for money, customer support and more.

  In 2025, Aussie Broadband knocked it out of the park for overall customer satisfaction. Belong and Superloop were highly commended.

• Is NBN slower than 5G?

  While 5G can theoretically outpace the NBN in speed, only a handful of providers currently offer 5G home wireless broadband plans and availability is limited to specific locations.

  For those that do, speeds are often capped, meaning typical download speeds can vary between 50 and 300Mbps, depending on the plan.

  Optus is the only one to offer an uncapped plan. Even on that though your typical download speed during the busy hours of the day (7-11pm) clock at 210Mbps.

  However, 5G home wireless, if available at your address, can be a good alternative to the NBN if you're struggling with your connection or can't get fast speeds.

• Which NBN connection is best?

  Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) offers the fastest and most reliable NBN connection. It supports higher speeds and is less prone to interference, weather or damage.

• How to choose the right NBN plan?

  Consider your household's data needs and speed preferences. For heavy streaming or gaming, go for NBN 100 or NBN 250 plans. Lighter users may find NBN 25 or 50 sufficient.

• What's the fastest NBN speed?

  NBN 1000 (or Gigabit) is the fastest plan available, offering speeds up to 1000 Mbps where supported.
