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.

Pros

  • NBN plans come with the option of a 4G back-up modem which is handy in an outage.
  • Reliable NBN speed performance – Optus has historically ranked in the top 4 of the quarterly ACCC Broadband Performance report.
  • Discounts on streaming services with Optus SubHub.

Cons

  • Expensive 5G home wireless modem – total cost is $468, but is free if you stay connected for 36 months.
  • NBN modems are included for $0 but only if you stay connected for 24 months.

Optus internet review

Optus' range of internet plans sit towards the more expensive side of things when it comes to price:

  • Optus' NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans are on the more expensive side compared to other plans on Finder, however, it does run 6-month promotions occasionally which makes it more affordable.
  • While Optus includes the modem for free on its NBN plans, keep in mind that if you don't stay connected for 24 months, you'll need to pay them back for it, which could be quite costly.
  • Optus boasts a range of 4G and 5G home internet plans which are averagely priced, though its speed guarantees on the 5G home internet plans are a nice touch to ensure you're always getting a certain minimum speed on your plan.

The higher pricing for NBN plans could be worth it given Optus ranks consistently towards the top of the ACCC's Broadband Performance Report by providing customers with reliable speeds.

Optus also offers a range of bonus entertainment features such as Optus SubHub and free subscription to Netflix depending on the plan you choose.

Things to watch out for:

  • If you choose to get the Optus Ultra Wi-Fi 6 Modem Gen 2 with one of its NBN plans, Optus will cover the cost of the modem unless you cancel your plan before 24 months are up. If you do, you'll need to pay $12.75 for each month remaining.
  • A 5G home wireless modem costs $468 but it's $0 if you stay connected for 36 months. You'll need to pay $13 for every remaining month in full if you leave.

A bit of background on Optus

  • Its 4G plus network reaches 98.5% of the Australian population, with their 5G network progressively rolling out.
  • Although it suffered a data breach in September 2022, Optus has introduced new security measures for the added safety of its customers, such as multi-factor authentication.

"I'm currently on the Optus Plus Everyday nbn plan, which is the ideal package for my household. I never have to worry about running out of data and receiving a massive bill. Plus the discounts you can receive on streaming services are a massive perk. Also, in my opinion, the price is totally reasonable for an unlimited service. Super happy with the service, wouldn't consider switching anytime soon. "

Performance

In June 2025, Optus came 3rd (out of 11 providers) in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report. Optus delivered maximum speeds 103% of the time during the busy hours of the day (7pm to 11pm).

As Optus achieves speeds exceeding 100%, this means it consistently delivers the advertised speeds on its plans even during peak hours of the day.

  • Good to know: The maximum speed is the fastest speed achievable for a particular NBN plan. For example, NBN 50 plans max out at 50Mbps.

Since the report's inception in 2021, Optus has consistently ranked in the top 4 providers.

  • Why this matters: The ACCC report measures speeds to help consumers see which NBN providers are providing reliable speeds in line with what they advertise.

Customer service

It's easy to get in touch with the Optus support team. You can contact them by:

  • Calling the customer service line (133 937) between 9am and 6pm, Monday to Friday or between 9am and 5pm on Saturdays
  • Speaking to someone at an Optus retail store
  • Start a live chat on the Optus website
  • Sending a message via "My Account" for 24/7 personal support via the My Optus app or online
  • Sending a message to the Optus Facebook or X (formerly Twitter) accounts

The Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman covers complaints data from phone and internet customers. In the 2023 Annual Report for the financial year ending June 2023, Optus:

  • Had 30.6% of all complaints, which was the second highest of all providers.
  • Saw a 29.5% increase in complaints compared to the previous year.
  • Keep in mind: While this might sound large, Optus is also touted as the second biggest telecommunications company in Australia, so it makes sense for them to have a larger number of complaints. The 2023 report also covered the period of the major data breach, which explains the increase in complaints.

Bonus features

Besides reliable internet speeds, Optus also offers a range of perks alongside its home internet plans.

Streaming bundles and discounts

SubHub is a service that allows you to bundle selected streaming subscriptions and save up to 10% on your total cost if you're an Optus customer.

Add 2 subscriptions to unlock a 5% discount on both or add 3 or more to unlock 10% off across all.

4G backup modem

All Optus NBN plans come with the option to purchase an Optus Ultra Wi-Fi Modem.

If there's a problem with the NBN and your connection drops out, the modem will switch to Optus' 4G network.

This is meant to be a backup solution and speeds are capped to 25Mbps for downloads and 2Mbps for uploads. At these speeds, you can still have 1-2 people streaming in standard definition and browsing the internet and social media.

How to switch to Optus

You can easily sign up to Optus once you've decided on an internet plan that works best for you. Simply enter your address once you're on its website to make sure you can access the plan you've chosen.

This applies for both NBN and home wireless plans, as you'll need to be within Optus' coverage area for its home internet plans.

phone

What if I'm moving house?
If you're already an Optus NBN or 4G or 5G home internet customer, you can book a relocation. Optus will ensure that your old service will end on the agreed-upon date and get your new service up and running. It aims to process new connections within 2 business days. There shouldn't be any fees associated with moving your internet service. The only fee that might apply is a new development charge of $300 for NBN if your property is classified as a new development and has never had a service connected.

If you're using mobile broadband, you won't need to make any physical changes to your service, but you will need to let Optus know your new address for emergency service purposes. There are no installation fees for mobile broadband.

Let your old provider know as soon as possible that you're leaving so you meet any notice periods. The last thing you want is to be stung by cancellation fees or end up paying for 2 services at the same time.

You can see our guide for how to switch broadband providers for more information.

      Hi VL,

      Sorry for that confusion. That offer with Optus has expired. A new promotion with similar gift card rewards is now live, you can learn more about these current rewards here. Hope this helps!

    I read that there is a limit on how many users (first in first served) that will receive the gift card.

    As this promotion has been running for a while, how can I check if I fall into the first x users and that I will receive?

    I dont want to switch if I didn’t make the cut.

      Hi VL,

      Once the allocation of gift cards has been exhausted, the offer will be ended and you will no longer see the option available. With our Optus offer, it was very popular, and it was then refreshed with a new allocation of gift cards in January.

      So, as long as you see the offer live and you meet the eligibility requirements, you’ll qualify for the gift card. Once you process your transaction, you’ll receive an email from Finder explaining next steps.

      Hope this helps!
