Note: We only looked at Finder partners to pick the best NBN 25 plan.

Is NBN 25 fast enough?

NBN 25 plans come with download speeds of up to 25Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5Mbps.

It's a good choice for people or households we like to call 'basic browsers'.

Pros

  • Well-suited for a household of 1-2 people with light internet usage
  • Good enough to handle quick browsing and multiple standard definition video streams
  • You'll be able to keep your monthly costs to under $65-$70 a month or even lower with sign-up deals

Cons

  • Download and upload speeds can fall short for heavy internet users or multiple people working from home
  • 4K streaming will require a faster connection. You may even struggle with multiple HD streams

Tip: Not all NBN plans in the same tier are created equal. Keep an eye on the advertised typical evening speeds for the plan. To get the best bang for your buck, you'll want something close to the maximum speed, which in this instance is 25Mbps.

According to Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker, 75% of Aussies say they're satisfied with their speeds on NBN 25.

How much do NBN 25 plans cost?

The average monthly cost of fixed-line NBN 25 plans on Finder is around $70 a month as of February 2025, excluding any promotional discounts.

You can take advantage of sign-up deals that can discount the price to under $60 a month for the first half of the year.

NBN 25 vs NBN 50

The average price difference between an NBN 25 and an NBN 50 plan on Finder is about $13 a month for double the speed. NBN 50 is also the most popular speed tier.

If you and your household spend a lot of time online on data-hungry activities, it may be worth checking out a faster NBN 50 plan.

There are plenty of sign-up discounts available to try it for roughly the same price as an NBN 25 plan. Plus you can always move down or up speed tiers without much hassle besides letting your provider know.

Rebecca Pike's headshot

"I had always had an NBN 50 plan because I didn't want the risk of slow internet, but when I moved apartments recently I tried out the NBN 25. I'm 1 person who mostly works from the office, so I just use it for streaming music, TV and occasionally gaming or the odd Zoom call if I'm working from home. It's been totally fine, except for a few occasions when I've had friends staying and the quality of video calls drops out. Definitely not a big enough problem for me to go up to NBN 50, but you should consider your own usage."
