Although mostly known as an energy provider, Origin also offers monthly NBN plans with no lock-in contract. Its standard monthly prices are more expensive than more established providers that offer similar speeds:
Origin does offer an extra $10 a month off your NBN plan if you bundle it with an Origin Energy plan. This helps to bring down the cost of its plans, but even with the discount, its plans aren't the most affordable.
Origin does offer the option to bring your own modem to keep upfront costs low, otherwise its modems start at $179 (plus $20 postage), which is higher than the average cost of a modem in Finder's database.
Origin does offer some bonus features that may interest some customers such as an annual subscription to Paramount Plus or bonus Everyday Rewards points, and 'next day' connection.
Things to watch out for:
Origin requires that payment is made via direct debit.
You need to give 30 days notice if you want to cancel your Origin Broadband plan.
While Origin promises next-day NBN connections, keep in mind that you need to sign up to its NBN plan before 1pm. Not all premises are covered though, so if this is a big reason for you to sign up, contact Origin to see if you're eligible.
While the prospect of a free annual subscription to Paramount Plus might sound enticing to sign up, it is only if you're new to the streaming service. If you're an existing customer or have previously had it, you are not eligible for this bonus.
You can get in touch with Origin broadband in multiple ways:
Via the Origin app
Send them an email
Use social media apps such as Facebook messenger
Contact their service support line between 8am–12am AEDT Monday to Sunday.
Keep in mind: Origin's phone support is a 1300 number, which costs 35c to call on the Origin Energy home phone pack.
Bonus features
Origin Internet has quite a few bonus features to look into:
Energy bundling discount
Get $10 off your monthly internet bill if you bundle your NBN plan with an Origin Energy plan.
This makes its internet plans more on par with the average prices available on Finder.
Next-day NBN connection
Origin promises next-day NBN connection for eligible premises. It says it will pay you up to $100 a day for each day you're not connected to cover any expenses you've encountered for the use of alternative internet.
Home phone packages
You can choose to either pay as you go for calls or get a $10 a month premium add-on to include most call types.
Free Paramount Plus
New Origin Internet and Paramount Plus customers get 12 months of the streaming service free included on any NBN plan.
Everyday Rewards points
Everyday Rewards members get an online only offer for 5000 points, valued at $25 Everyday Rewards dollars.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
