Opting for a cheap NBN plan is only ever a good option if the plan matches your internet needs.
Consider the following before hitting the sign-up button:
Sign-up discounts are popular with NBN providers, but just keep in mind that the price will increase after the promotional period. Luckily, most NBN plans come with no lock-in contracts these days so you can usually switch to another plan if you're unhappy paying full price.
Most providers will let you BYO modem but watch out for those that charge you extra for a new modem as you'll need to factor that into the price.
While premium providers like Telstra and Optus may throw in modems with 4G backup or entertainment add-ons like Fetch TV, cheap NBN plans will often just come with just unlimited data.
"My wife and I work from home regularly (and also rely on Google Suite daily!) so having access to good quality internet is essential. When we first moved into our apartment we opted for a small, independent internet provider at the recommendation of a friend -- but unfortunately, the owner died! TPG ended up taking on his customers, and we've been with them ever since. No complaints -- they give us the speed we need for work, streaming and a bit of play in the mix too."
