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.
There are 6 NBN speed tiers to choose from. How much you pay for internet will depend on the tier you pick. The faster the speeds, the more you'll pay. For most people, the sweet spots are NBN 50 (2-3 people) and NBN 100 (3-4 people or heavy internet users).
Look at the monthly price of each NBN plan and compare typical evening speeds. Try to get a plan with a typical speed that's close to the maximum available on the tier. For example, the maximum typical evening speed on an NBN 50 plan will be 50Mbps, NBN 100 is 100Mbps.
Unlimited data NBN plans have become the norm and don't cost a lot more than a data-capped plan. You're looking at a $5 to $10 a month difference at most. Most providers offering capped internet won't charge you extra if you go over your monthly limit, and will instead slow down your speed to 128Kbps (warning though, this isn't fast at all).
Month-to-month NBN plans with no lock-in contract can offer the flexibility of switching quickly. If you sign up for a contracted plan, make sure you're getting something in return, such as a free modem.
Most of us may be happy with just fast, reliable internet, but you can also find NBN plans with a couple of extras thrown in. This includes NBN and mobile bundles, internet and energy bundles, access to cheaper streaming subscriptions and the option to add phone calls to your plan.
I had no idea what to look for in an NBN plan, but with a family of 5, I knew we needed a big plan. I ended up bundling my NBN 100 plan with my mobile plan, my iPhone and my daughter's phone plan, and we now pay $210 a month for all of it – much cheaper than paying for each one seperately.— Sarah Megginson, personal finance expert
TPG knocked it out of the park for its competitive pricing and 50Mbps typical evening speed, which is the maximum speed available in this category. You can also sign up for its 6-month NBN 50 plan if you want a modem for $0 and use the live chat feature for support.
SpinTel's NBN 100 plan is one of the cheapest around and offers a typical speed of 100Mbps (the maximum available on this speed tier). Together with its well-priced plan, you'll get access to multiple support channels including phone, live chat and WhatsApp or Messenger.
Exetel came out on top for value. Its NBN 25 plan, also known as Exetel NBN Everyday, is the cheapest one on offer from the provider and comes with 25Mbps typical evening speeds, the maximum you can get on this speed tier. Plus, we've already established it's one of the more reliable providers around so you know you're getting your money's worth.
Aussie Broadband ranked first place for customer satisfaction in 2023. In our survey conducted by Dynata, 91% of respondents said they would recommend Aussie to a friend. It scored the highest from 10 providers for overall satisfaction.
This is probably the most important question to consider when comparing NBN plans. You want to find the right NBN speed for your online activities and household size, and the speed will also affect the price of your NBN plan.
Most Australians are on an NBN 50 plan, according to the ACCC. However, NBN 100 plans are expected to rise in popularity soon with prices for faster NBN plans dropping in the new year.
Here's a full breakdown to help you understand the right speed tier for you:
Maximum 12Mbps download speed, maximum 1Mbps upload speed
Maximum 25Mbps download speed, maximum 10Mbps upload speed
Maximum 50Mbps download speed, maximum 20Mbps upload speed
Maximum 100Mbps download speed, maximum 40Mbps upload speed
Maximum 250Mbps download speed, maximum 100Mbps upload speed
Maximum 1000Mbps download speed, maximum 50Mbps upload speed
Typical evening speeds (or typical download speeds) refer to the speed you can expect to receive during busy hours of the day between 7-11pm. This is the most realistic speed you'll get on your plan, as you can assume speeds outside of these busier hours will be faster (since less people are online).
Each month, our team of experts review the latest NBN deals and select their top picks for the best NBN plans. Here's a few favourites from this month:
| Provider | Plan | Offer | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|
 | Best for fast speeds: Dodo NBN100 Unlimited - Special | $70 a month for the first 6 months, then $85 a month | |
 | Best under $65: Tangerine NBN Value | $49.90 a month for the first 6 months, then $64.90 a month | |
| Best for everyday use: Dodo NBN50 | $65 a month for the first 6 months, then $80 a month |
I live in a 2-person household and have always been on an NBN 50 plan. Both my partner and I work from home often and have found this to be a good speed tier for us. Being a CommBank customer already, I was able to score an ongoing discount with More's NBN plans, which made its prices much more affordable.

I have an NBN 50 plan from Aussie Broadband. With 4 people in my household, there have never been any issues, even when everyone is online at the same time. Their customer service has also always been very helpful with any queries I've had, which goes to show why Aussie was the winner of Finder's Best Rated NBN Provider.
Mark Nielsen
Finder's utilities writer
I'm on an NBN 50 plan with Exetel. Since switching to Exetel, I've found my NBN speed to be more reliable and closer to the maximum speed available (50Mbps) than with my previous provider. This is reflective of Exetel's history of being one of the top-ranked providers on the ACCC broadband performance report.

How much should I be spending on broadband?
The average cost of broadband (November 2023) is $77 per month. According to our consumer sentiment tracker, the highest average spend was $85 in December 2022. Since then, we've since seen a gradual trend downwards. If you're paying more than $77 a month, it could be worth switching.
Compare NBN plans best suited to your budget and speed requirements. You can use filters on our comparison table to narrow down your search and even input your address to find a plan tailored to the NBN connection type at your premises.
Select the date you want your new plan to be activated and add on a modem to be delivered if you need one. Finalise the sign-up process and let the provider take care of the rest.
Give your current provider a heads up (usually over the phone), especially if their T&Cs state a notice period. You can add a cancellation date for your current plan to line up with the activation date of your new one so you're not stuck paying 2 bills.
Before you sign up to your new NBN plan, consider ringing up your current provider to let them know you're looking to cancel your plan within the next month. Sometimes your provider will offer you a promotional discount for a further 6 months to keep you on.
The ACCC's Broadband Performance report, released every quarter, gives you a glimpse into how reliable the top NBN providers are in Australia.
Reliability is based on how frequently providers achieve the typical evening speeds they advertise.
Ideally, you want your NBN provider to be as close to hitting 100% of its advertised typical evening speed as possible, because this means you're actually getting the correct speeds you've signed up for.
Have a look at who's topped the chart in the most recent report from March 2023.
| Rank | Provider | Percentage of max download speeds achieved |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Exetel | 101.8% |
| 2 | Telstra | 101.7% |
| 3 | Optus | 101.4% |
| 4 | Dodo | 100.2% |
| 5 | iPrimus | 100.2% |

Besides your monthly NBN plan cost, there may be a few other costs to consider when you first sign up to your new plan:
Plenty of providers give you the option to BYO modem with your NBN plan. This helps you save on your upfront cost when switching plans, but you'll want to double-check that your current modem is compatible with the provider you plan to switch to.
If you've had your modem for 5 or more years, it might be time to upgrade to a new one when you switch plans. Old modems may cause slower speeds which can cause buffering or lagging in your connection.
If you decide you do want a new modem, there are a couple of options that providers offer:
Most NBN plans come with a standard modem (or router), but others may come with a Wi-Fi extender or 4G backup modem.
The NBN connection type at your address will determine what NBN plans you get access to. Not sure what you've got? You can check via our NBN tracker map.
FTTP is the fastest and arguably the best NBN connection type available. Your home will be directly connected to the closest NBN node via a fibre optic cable.
FTTN is the slowest fixed connection type available and uses existing copper wiring to connect to an NBN node in the neighbourhood.
HFC is similar to FTTN except coaxial cables make up the distance to the node instead of a copper wire, meaning you can access faster speeds.
FTTC is similar to FTTN as it uses the same copper cable network. Fibre optic cables are run to a node in a telecom pit on the street outside a property.
FTTB is primarily available to apartment dwellers. Fibre optic cables run to the basement of the building, with copper wiring connecting each unit.
Fixed wireless uses an antenna installed on your roof to exchange signals with a nearby signal tower. Speeds are capped at around 75Mbps but can fluctuate.
Satellite NBN (also known as Sky Muster) is used primarily in rural or regional Australia. Speeds are capped at 100 Mbps and more prone to interference.
Eligible households with FTTN or FTTC connections can now access faster and more reliable internet by upgrading to an FTTP connection.
Pop in your address on the NBN's website to see if your property is eligible for the upgrade.
Once you've confirmed your home is on the list, you'll need to sign up for an NBN 100 plan or faster to trigger the upgrade. This will especially benefit people working from home or households of 4 or above that are logged on simultaneously.
There are a couple of NBN alternatives if it's been giving you trouble or you can't access it just yet. This includes:
Home wireless broadband: This allows you to connect to the internet using either the 4G or 5G mobile network. There's no installation required but you will need to purchase your provider's modem to access their home wireless service. Keep in mind that you will only be able to sign up for a 5G home internet plan if your property gets 5G coverage.
Mobile broadband: This is another wireless internet solution that uses the 4G/3G or 5G mobile network. Options for mobile broadband include data-only SIMs, USB modems and pocket Wi-Fi. This option is better suited to frequent travellers or anyone that needs internet access on the move.
| NBN | Stands for National Broadband Network |
| NBN Co | The organisation established by the Commonwealth Government in 2009 to build and operate a wholesale broadband network in Australia. |
| Typical evening speeds | Download speeds your NBN plan can achieve during the busy hours of the day (7-11pm) when most people are online at the same time. This is usually advertised by most NBN providers on their plans. |
| Speed tier | Speed tiers are different speed categories set by NBN Co, with maximum download and upload speeds that can be expected on each one. |
| Download speed | This determines how quickly you can download data from the internet to your computer such as images, files, audio and text. A good download speed will ensure you have a seamless experience such as when you're browsing the web, streaming video or listening to music. |
| Upload speed | This determines how quickly you can send data to the server from your computer. Upload speeds are important for when you're uploading files such as photos and videos, having video calls or sending emails. |
| Maximum speed | This determines the fastest download speed you can achieve on any speed tier. For example, the maximum speed on an NBN 50 plan is 50Mbps. |
| Mbps | This stands for megabits per second. It's a measure of internet download and upload speeds. |
| ISP | Stands for Internet Service Provider and refers to the company that's offering you internet service. |
| BYO modem | BYO stands for 'bring your own'. You will come across BYO modem as a feature on some NBN plans. It implies you don't have to buy a new one from the provider you're switching to as long as the one you have is compatible. |
| Month-to-month | This means your plan is not locked into a contract and you're paying each month with the option to leave whenever you want. (Keep in mind that notice periods may still apply) |
| Minimum total cost | This is the minimum amount that you'll pay to sign up to a provider. It's normally equal to 1 month's plan fee plus any other mandatory upfront costs that are non refundable. |

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your question.
Are you pertaining to the ABC iview? If so, the recommended minimum Internet speed by ABC is 1.5Mbps. For best results, iview typically uses the following data speeds:
60-minute program = up to 300MB of data on-demand and 360MB when live streaming
30-minute program = up to 150MB of data on-demand and180MB when live streaming
The 10-minute program = up to 50MB of data on-demand and 60MB when live streaming
5-minute program = up to 25MB of data on-demand and 30MB when live streaming
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Hi, we need to get unto the new NBN system. I’m worried that I’ll be paying exorbitant amounts of money for speeds that are not available in my area. How do I know what the maximum speeds are for where I live given the infrastructure that has been installed in order for me to get a fair deal and also know what speeds to be expected?
Hi Rebecca!
Your internet service provider may be able to give you some estimates about the available speeds on your area by giving them a phone call. If you wish to have a second opinion, you may also request a technician to validate the current speeds but this may involve some fees depending on your provider and your existing plan.
Migration to NBN is compulsory and once it is available, you only have 18 months to be transferred otherwise your services will be disconnected. You may want to talk to several providers as they have varying speed estimates and costs upon transfer.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jonathan
I was on the 25/4 plan with Dodo and have upgraded to 100/40 on fibre to the node. Is my speed likely to be achieved and if not who do I contact to get fibre to the premises and how much would it cost?
Hi Ken!
Thanks for the comment. You must be a heavy data user! :)
We need to establish that you have cable or NBN connection in your area. Although speeds can only be estimated, it is important that you request a technician to do a speed test in your area just to make sure it matches your expectations. As for requesting the fibre and the costs, once you make a call to your provider, they will be making a quote about the monthly service fee, installation costs, even wiring should it goes beyond the standard distance.
All the best!
Cheers,
Jonathan
I have the NBN but need to change the location of where it is wall mounted (inside). Who do i contact?
Hi Pete,
Thanks for getting in touch with finder.com.au.
In that case, you’ll need to contact the representative who installed your NBN broadband. You may also directly reach out to NBN so they can refer you to an agent.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Jhezelyn
Have been with iinet broadband plan for about 7 years and now am changing to NBN are they good to stay with?
Hi Sue,
Practically, that would depend on your preferences and internet connection needs and usage. You’d be best to contact an ISP who can advise what would be best for you. If after speaking to iiNet and you decided to change provider, please check our list of NBN broadband plans to explore your options. You may select the ‘Go to site’ button if you wish to get redirected to the provider’s website after comparing your internet plans.
Should you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach us out again.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jonathan
