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.
The key to comparing NBN plans is finding the right balance between price and speed - everything else comes after.
If any of the points feel unclear, don't worry, as we'll be unpacking them further in the guide.
1. Choose the right speed tier
There are several NBN speed tiers, ranging from NBN 12 at the slowest to NBN 2000 at the fastest.
As part of NBN's speed upgrades on 14 September 2025, the line-up was reshaped: three new tiers - NBN 500, NBN 750, and NBN 2000 - were added, and some existing plans were boosted to higher speeds.
For a lot of people, the sweet spots remain NBN 50 and NBN 100, which offer plenty of speed for everyday use.
If you have one of these connections, many providers are moving customers onto the boosted speed tiers. For example, if you’re on NBN 100, you might be eligible for NBN 500 at around the same price.
We'll cover speed and connection types in more detail later in the guide.
2. Typical evening speeds
Every NBN plan is tied to a specific speed tier, but the speeds you actually experience in the evening (7-11 pm) can vary due to network congestion.
This is called the typical evening speed. For example, an NBN 100 plan has a maximum speed of 100 Mbps, but a provider might list its typical evening speed as 98Mbps.
The faster the typical evening speed, the more reliable it'll be during the busiest hours of the day.
3. Data allowance
Unlimited data NBN plans are now the norm, though a few providers still offer data-capped plans for just a few dollars less.
These are becoming increasingly rare and generally aren't great value for money.
4. Price and sign-up discounts
The general rule is that faster speeds cost more. However, after multiple NBN price hikes, and the new speed upgrades, the gap between slower and faster plans has narrowed, so it's worth comparing across the board.
Providers are also using these changes to make higher-speed plans more appealing.
Many plans also come with introductory discounts - most commonly for the first 6 months, so you can save even more when signing up.
Just make sure to compare both discounted prices and ongoing costs, especially if you don't plan on switching around once the offer expires.
5. Modem options
Plenty of providers let you BYO modem with your NBN plan, which can save on upfront costs when switching. A few things to keep in mind:
Make sure your current modem is compatible with the provider and plan you want to switch to.
If your modem is 5 years or older, upgrading is worth considering, as older hardware can cause slower speeds, buffering or lag and may not support faster speed tiers.
If you want a new modem, you can buy one from your provider. It's worth comparing these costs just like you would with NBN plans.
Some providers may also offer a modem for $0 if you stay connected for a set period or return it when you leave.
6. Contract length
Most NBN plans now come with no lock-in contract. If you choose one of the rarer plans with a contract, make sure the price is right or you're getting something extra in return.
7. Bundled extras
Most of us just want reliable internet, but some NBN plans also offer bundling discounts or add-ons.
As mentioned earlier, there are several NBN speed tiers available in Australia: NBN 12, NBN 25, NBN 50, NBN 100, NBN 500, NBN 750, NBN 1000, and NBN 2000.
Here’s a rundown of all of them before we jump into availability and eligibility.
NBN speed tier
Maximum download speed
Maximum upload speed
Great for
NBN 12
12Mbps
1Mbps
Light use: 1-2 people browsing, checking email, or streaming occasionally on a single device
NBN 25
25Mbps
10Mbps
Light use: 1-2 people browsing, emailing, streaming in HD, or making video calls on a couple of devices
NBN 50
50Mbps
20Mbps
Moderate use: 2-3 people streaming in HD, gaming, making video calls, or working from home
NBN 100
100Mbps
20-40Mbps
Moderate use: 4-6 people streaming in HD, gaming online, making video calls, or working from home on multiple devices simultaneously.
NBN 500
500Mbps
50Mbps
Heavy use: Multiple streams in 4K, smooth online gaming, high-quality video calls, and fast cloud backups running together.
NBN 750
750Mbps
50Mbps
Heavy use: 4K streaming on multiple devices, seriously responsive gaming, smooth video calling and downloading and uploading large files.
NBN 1000
1000Mbps
100Mbps
Very heavy use: Demanding use with 4K or 8K streaming, gaming, video conferencing, and cloud storage without slowdowns.
NBN 2000
2000Mbps
100-200Mbps
Very heavy use: Ultra-high demand tasks like 8K streaming, professional content creation, cloud backups, and heaps of other high-bandwidth activities at once.
You might still see some providers offering NBN 250 plans, but these are gradually being phased out and replaced by NBN 750 plans. NBN Co doesn't list it as an official speed tier either.
Some providers may also offer plans outside of these. Example, Aussie Broadband has a set of 'Pro' plans with higher than normal upload speeds, which are important for video calls, gaming and file sharing.
However, as mentioned, your NBN connection type will determine which speeds you can access.
For example, as part of NBN's speed upgrades, households on an FTTP or HFC connection can get free upgrades to NBN 500 or NBN 750 if they’re currently on an NBN 100 or NBN 250 plan, respectively.
How will my NBN connection affect the speeds I can get?
The NBN connection type at your address will determine what plans and speeds you can access.
Most Australians are on fixed-line connections such as Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) or Fibre to the Building (FTTB).
FTTP is generally considered the fastest and most reliable option, supporting all NBN speed tiers, followed by HFC.
By contrast, copper-based technologies like FTTN and FTTC often struggle to deliver speeds above NBN 100.
If you're on FTTN or FTTC, you may be eligible for a free fibre upgrade to FTTP by signing up for an NBN 100 plan or faster. Pop your address into the NBN website to check eligibility.
"I'd just moved into a new place and needed to check what internet options were available in my area. Even though we're only a household of three, I work from home so I wanted something fast and reliable for the day, plus strong enough to stream on multiple devices at night. I ended up going with Superloop's NBN 250 Superfast plan which was the same price as my old NBN 100 plan, and I even scored a discount for the first 3 months."

How much should I be spending on an NBN plan?
There can be a big difference between the cheapest and most expensive NBN plans offering similar speeds.
In the following table, you can see the cheapest and most expensive NBN plans in our database (as of 2 December 2025) across various speed tiers.
We've also given an average monthly price as another benchmark to help you compare plans, as the cheapest may not always offer the best value, features or reliability.
TPG has claimed Finder's Provider of the Year Award for broadband with a cracking score of 9.9. It's mostly to do with competitive pricing across the majority of its NBN and home wireless internet plans that come with no lock-in contracts, speed reliability and multiple customer support options. TPG also scored highly for customer experience, value, reliability, and trustworthiness.
2025 Finder Award for Best Everyday Use NBN Provider - Dodo
Dodo knocked it out of the park with its competitive pricing for everyday speeds (NBN 50). You can BYO or buy one with multiple payment options to suit your needs. There's also the option to bundle internet and energy with Dodo to save up to $10 a month.
2025 Finder Award for Best Fast Speeds NBN Provider - Dodo
Dodo takes home another win for delivering fast speeds at a great price point. Its recent 12-month discounts have given it the edge this year. It's also been in the top five in the last few ACCC reports, which measure speed reliability on a quarterly basis.
2025 Finder Award for Best Budget NBN Provider - SpinTel
SpinTel earns its first win for Best Budget NBN Provider by delivering the maximum typical evening speeds available on an NBN 25 plan, coupled with one of the lowest prices in this category.
2025 Finder Award for Best Superfast Speeds NBN Provider - TPG
In addition to scoring well for speed reliability in the ACCC's recent broadband performance report, TPG's NBN 250 plan offers solid value at just under $100 a month. New customers can often take advantage of six-month sign-up discounts, bringing the price down to under $85 a month for the first half of the year.
2025 Finder Award for Most Loved NBN Provider - Aussie Broadband
Aussie Broadband knocked it out of the park for the third year in a row as the most loved broadband provider by Australians. It got the highest overall score of 4.1 out of 5.
Who is the fastest and most reliable NBN provider?
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 the top 5 providers that have topped the chart in the most recent report.

The National Broadband Network (NBN) is Australia's government-owned broadband infrastructure, designed to provide high-speed internet access across the country.
Its rollout in Australia was officially declared complete in December 2021 as it replaced older technologies such as ADSL and cable internet.
However, the network is undergoing significant upgrades to further enhance internet speeds and reliability.
Yes. Switching NBN providers is usually straightforward since the NBN connection itself stays the same.
All you need to do is compare NBN plans, sign up with your new provider, and they'll handle most of the switch for you.
Check if your current plan has any exit fees or requires a 30-day notice, and confirm that your modem is compatible with the new provider.
Once you've established the availability of NBN at your address and your connection type, the next step is to compare NBN plans and find one best suited to your needs.
In some instances, a technician may need to come out for a first time connection. This will depend on your NBN technology type.
Normally set up and installation is free of charge unless you're in a new development, which will require you to pay a one-off $300 fee.
In some other instances you could be charged if a technician needs to come to sort out your cable or wiring, or if you need extra equipment.
Ask your provider of choice for more information regarding additional fees before signing up.
If the NBN isn't available or giving you trouble, you have a few alternatives including:
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 availability of a 5G home internet plan at your property will depend on the provider.
Mobile broadband: This is another wireless internet solution that uses the 4G or 5G mobile network. Options for mobile broadband include data-only SIMs, USB modems and pocket Wi-Fi. Unlike home wireless broadband, it's a portable internet connection so you can take it with you wherever you go.
We're internet addicts. We review every offer, every GB, every plan, every month. Yep, our data usage is bonkers, but it's worth it.
Obsessed with offers. Whether you're looking for basic or ultra fast NBN, we'll bring you hundreds of plan options. Sure, you could go website to website and find them yourself. Or, you could let us nerd out for you - so you can see them live, 24/7.
No mark ups. You get the same rates as going direct, heck sometimes you even score better as we put in the yards to bring you exclusive offers.

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,
May

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?
JonathanJuly 1, 2017
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?
JonathanJune 27, 2017
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
