Best NBN 250 plan for June 2025

Price, speed, modem options and customer support all play a big role in choosing the best NBN 250 plan for us.

Get this plan for $85/mth for the first 6 months, then $99/mth. Eligibility criteria, T&Cs apply.

Superloop's NBN Superfast Plus plan comes with impressively fast upload speeds of up to 100Mbps. It also grants access to the My Speed Boost feature which can boost your download speeds up to 1000Mbps, 5 days per month.

You can read about how we chose the best NBN 250 in our guide, where we also round up our top picks across other speed tiers.

Note: We only looked at Finder partners to pick the best NBN 250 plan.

Can I get NBN 250?

Not everyone can get NBN 250. Only those with FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) or HFC (Hybrid Fibre Coaxial) connection types can sign up.

Not sure what NBN connection you have? You check on a provider's website directly or pop in your address in our address checker.

If you don't have access to NBN 250, check out NBN 100 plans instead. These are still fast enough for households of 4+ people.

You may qualify for NBN Co's fibre upgrade program

NBN Co is offering a free fibre upgrade program which could make you eligible for NBN 250 speeds.

By the end of 2025, over 10 million homes and businesses currently on fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) or fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) will get upgraded to FTTP.

To trigger the upgrade, you'll need to sign up for an NBN 100 plan or faster. Just head to NBN Co's website, enter your address, and check if you're eligible.

"When our house became eligible for the fibre upgrade, I immediately took it up. We consistently get download speeds of over 250Mbps."

How fast is NBN 250?

NBN 250 is the second fastest NBN speed tier, behind NBN 1000. It offers download speeds of up to 250Mbps and upload speeds of up to 25Mbps.

The actual speeds you get will depend on the provider you sign up with and what they've advertised as their typical evening speed.

These are speeds your plan can achieve during the busy hours of the day (7-11pm).

You might see 1 or 2 providers not showing typical evening speed due to a lack of data to report on.

How much do NBN 250 plans cost?

The average monthly cost of fixed-line NBN 250 plans on Finder is around $113 a month as of June 2025.

However, there are plenty of sign-up deals that can discount the monthly price for the first 6 months to under $80.

Some providers also offer ongoing prices of just under $100 a month - you just need to shop around.

Is NBN 250 worth it?

An NBN 250 plan is designed for large households (or speed chasers) with 5 or more people online at the same time, either working, streaming or playing online games.

Pros

  • Well-suited to a household of 5+ people with multiple heavy internet users
  • Speeds are good for downloading and uploading large files. Download a 10GB file within 7 minutes and upload a 1GB file in the same timeframe
  • You can stream in 4K without buffering interruptions, even when others are online or you have up to 10 connected devices
  • Wholesale NBN price changes have led to price cuts for faster speeds from several providers

Cons

  • Some NBN connections may not be able to get NBN 250
  • May not be worth it if you don't actually need superfast speeds
According to Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker, 86% of Aussies say they're satisfied with their speeds on NBN 250.

NBN 250 vs NBN 100

Our top tip is to always try a slower speed tier before committing money towards faster internet speeds.

So instead of going for NBN 250 from the get-go, try NBN 100 first.

  • NBN 100 is good enough for a household of 4+ people. You should be able to work, stream and game across multiple devices at the same time.
  • The average monthly cost of fixed-line NBN 100 plans on Finder is $96 and you can even get ongoing prices from providers for $85 a month.
  • You can get fast upload speeds by signing up to NBN 100/40 instead of NBN 100/20.
  • NBN providers will easily upgrade you to a faster plan if you decide the one you're on just isn't cutting it.
