SkyMesh broadband plans compared

Last updated:

While the name suggests that it focuses on satellite broadband, SkyMesh can hook up Australians to the NBN via wireless services, too.

Is SkyMesh right for me?

  • What does SkyMesh offer? As the name suggests, SkyMesh focuses on satellite and fixed-wireless NBN services, but it also offers mobile broadband plans.
  • Product highlights: SkyMesh offers a wide range of data caps across fixed wireless and satellite services, plus no lock-in contracts and no set-up fees.
  • Watch out for: SkyMesh splits the data caps on most of its NBN plans into on-peak/off-peak usage. So while the larger data caps might seem generous at first, the majority of that data can only be accessed between 12:00am and 7:00am.

SkyMesh NBN plans

SkyMesh's NBN plans explained

SkyMesh has plans for Aussies in regional and rural areas looking to connect to the NBN, with support for both fixed wireless and satellite connections. SkyMesh does not support standard fixed-line NBN connections.

All SkyMesh's NBN plans operate on no-lock-in, month-to-month contracts, with the option to sign up for a 12-month contract on satellite plans in return for extra monthly data. Fixed wireless plans are available across the first three of the four tiers of NBN speeds, while satellite plans are limited to Basic (nbn12) and Standard (nbn25) connections.

SkyMesh mobile broadband plans

SkyMesh's mobile broadband plans explained

SkyMesh offers a range of mobile broadband plans that operate on parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G networks. These plans operate on a 30-day, no-lock-in contract, with no penalties for cancelling your service and no excess charges for exhausting your data quota before the end of your current billing cycle. Instead, SkyMesh allows you to purchase 1GB data blocks at a price of $10 each to get you by until your plan resets. These data blocks are not added automatically, so you don't have to worry about inadvertently racking up a monstrous Internet bill.

Pricing for SkyMesh's mobile broadband plans starts at $29.95 for 5GB and goes up to $79.95 for 40GB.

How does SkyMesh compare?

  • Wide variety of satellite NBN plans gives regional Aussies plenty of choice
  • No unlimited data plans
  • Fixed wireless pricing is considerably higher than the competition

Why should you consider SkyMesh?

SkyMesh struggles to compete with other NBN providers on the market. Its deals perhaps make the most sense for homes looking for a minimal peak download allowance but which will really make the most of off-peak usage, unmetered Netflix and possibly unmetered downloads.

Even these advantages lose their potency as you increase download limits towards unlimited. Realistically, a multi-terabyte allowance is as good as unlimited for many households, but you'll find truly unlimited deals elsewhere for less money. The lack of an option for unlimited voice calls will also disappoint people who want a home phone service and will put it to good use.

    We live in the Kimberley’s at a remote resort and can only get a set amount of internet a month. So I’m just wondering why can’t we get unlimited internet access through satellite?

      Hi Steve,

      Thanks for your inquiry. Please note that we are not affiliated with SkyMesh or any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.

      If you are with SkyMesh, you can have a look on this page for their NBN satellite plans. You may contact them directly to inquire if it’s possible for you to get unlimited internet on your address.

      Meanwhile, you can also check this page for other Satellite NBN broadband plans.

      Cheers,
      Rench

      Hi Chops,

      Thanks for your question.

      I’ve checked a number of addresses on Margaret River and I can’t find SkyMesh among the available providers. You can verify this by entering your complete address on our NBN tracker. Once you are able to get a result, just click the ‘Compare NBN plans’ button to check the broadband providers.

      Alternatively, you may also directly get in touch with Skymesh Customer Service and have them check your address.

      Cheers,
      Anndy
