How the Finder Score helps you find a better broadband plans

We designed the Finder Score to simplify your search for the best NBN and Home Wireless plans. By analysing hundreds of options from over 40 providers, we evaluate pricing, speeds, data allowances and plan features. Each factor is weighted and combined to generate a score out of 10 — helping you quickly spot the most competitive plans on the market. Read the full breakdown.

What is NBN 250

NBN 250 used to be one of the fastest NBN speed tiers available in Australia.

However, following NBN speed upgrades on 14 September 2025, NBN 250 was upgraded to NBN 750 at no extra cost by NBN Co.

Most providers have updated their plans accordingly, replacing NBN 250 with NBN 750.

Others that still offer NBN 250 have boosted their upload speeds to keep space for this plan in their roster.

Read our full guide on the NBN speed upgrades to see all the new speed tiers introduced.

How fast is NBN 250

NBN 250 plans offer maximum download speeds of up to 250Mbps.

Since it's no longer an official speed tier, there's no standard upload speed. It now varies by provider and can range from 25Mbps to 100Mbps.

An NBN 250 plan is fast enough to stream multiple 4K videos at once and download a large 10GB file, for example, in around 5 minutes if you're getting full speeds.

It's a good option for busy households, working from home and gaming.

Which providers offer NBN 250 plans?

As mentioned, the number of providers offering NBN 250 plans has dropped significantly. As of December 2025, only 10 out of 43 fixed-line NBN providers in our database still offer it.

How much do NBN 250 plans cost?

The average monthly cost of fixed-line NBN 250 plans on Finder is $110 a month as of December 2025.

However, there are plenty of sign-up deals that can discount the monthly price for the first 6 months to under $90 a month.

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 can 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.

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

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.
