Why compare internet plans with Finder?
We don't charge extra. Prices shown on Finder are the same as those you get directly from internet providers.
We compare almost every major internet provider in Australia, all in one place.
Our team is dedicated to monitoring internet plan prices and keeping deals updated daily.
An HFC or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial connection is where the existing pay TV or cable network is used to connect your premises to the NBN, running from the nearest available fibre node.
An HFC connection allows you to access some of the fastest speeds on the NBN, up to 1000mbps, but your speed will be affected by how far you are from the fibre node.
It is not considered as reliable as Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections, but more stable than FTTN (Fibre to the Node), FTTB (Fibre to the Building) or FTTC (Fibre to the Curb).
Finder found the average broadband user spends $75 per month on their internet plan, but your budget might very well be different. The price of your plan will largely depend on what NBN speed you're after.
This depends on the size of your household and what you're planning to use the internet for. The general rule is: The more people in your home and the more time you're spending on the internet, the faster the speed you'll need.
Unlimited is usually recommended if you use the internet regularly. Lighter users can potentially get away with plans that come with a specific data allowance, for example 10-500GB a month. Keep in mind this will save you around $5 a month, but may not be worth it if you think you'll exceed your data limit.
To help you find the right NBN plan for your needs, you can use our handy filters on the comparison table above to narrow down your choices to your preference.
Good for a single-person home with basic internet needs such as browsing, social media, and light streaming.
Suited to 1- or 2-person households that want to browse, stream and work from home.
Best for a 2-3 person household with medium internet usage such as streaming Netflix, browsing, downloading files and taking Zoom video calls.
For 3-4 people who are simultaneously online. You can avoid buffering internet issues while streaming, working from home or uploading and downloading files.
This could suit households with 5+ people that watch multiple 4K streams, are mostly working from home or are serious gamers.

Hi Ken, it might work out cheaper for you to get an NBN plan separate to your streaming subscriptions as it’ll allow you to cancel services ad hoc when you don’t need them. You can check out our guide to the best NBN plans for this month https://www.finder.com.au/best-nbn-plans if you’re after a curated list. You can also take our quiz to find a plan suited to your budget and speed requirements: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans. Hope this helps!
Which internet provider is best suited for financial market trading? Data is required in real-time. What particular characteristic should I look for in a provider? I have often found that, even though most providers boast of high internet speeds, market data is not provided timely; the rendering of “candle sticks” lags behind time. When I query this, the providers always have this answer: ” it’s all fine on our end, if you have any further problems, open a new request”.
Hello! You can always test your internet speeds whenever you want to see if your provider is delivering on their advertised download speeds. If they’re not, you can send them a screenshot of your results. The ACCC also publishes a quarterly broadband performance report for speed reliability of the top 12 NBN providers in Australia. Perhaps that can help you out: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/nbn/fastest-peak-hour-nbn-providers. If NBN isn’t meeting your requirements, you could try 5G home internet – that is if it’s available at your address. Here’s a guide to help you out: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/5g-home-internet-plans. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with. Cheers!
Looking to put internet in my place? Do you have to pay for the modem on top of the contract? As I can’t afford to buy one? Do they include in the plans if I choose one? Please help
Hi Chrissy,
Yes some providers do supply a free modem, but you’ll have to stay connected with them for a certain period of time. This can be anywhere from 6 months to 36 months depending on the provider and plan. Just keep in mind, if you leave the provider before that period is up, you might have to pay an outright fee for the modem for whatever time you have remaining on your contract, or you need to send back the modem in good condition within a certain timeframe or else again you will be charged a fee.
Hope this helps.
I’m pretty sure we have FTTB in our unit and a speed check of 100/20 however we have a lot of buffering and difficulty connecting to the internet for 2 people.
Streaming tv and personal devices. Recently tried a different modem but probably worse that 6 months ago. Any idea why?
Hi Lyn, I would recommend that you contact your internet provider directly about experiencing buffering internet for the last few months and give them details of the modem you’re using. If everything checks out from their end, then your second option would be to try out another provider. Just make sure that if you do decide to switch, you confirm that the modem you have is compatiable with their service. Hope this helps!
Will the NBN plan include telephone service?
Hi Mick,
Not all NBN plans include a home phone line. If you want an NBN plan that you can bundle with a home phone, you can check out our guide to see if any of these suit your needs: https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/compare-home-phone-and-internet-bundles
