SpinTel could be right for you if
While SpinTel has low plan prices, you might want to consider:
SpinTel offers NBN 25, 50 and 100 plans, all of which are cheaper than the average cost of plans we compare in Finder's database.

SpinTel allows you to BYO modem or you can purchase one for $139.95 upfront, which is about the average price of a modem in Finder's database. SpinTel also sells Google Nest Wi-Fi Routers and Wi-Fi points that double as smart speakers.

The 4G and 5G Home wireless plans have a 14-day coverage guarantee. That means you can cancel the service if you are not happy with the coverage or speed, and the cost of the modem will be refunded to you if returned in as-new condition (and excluding shipping/return costs for the modem). Any service charges from when the service was activated to when the modem was returned will not be refunded.
