Swoop Broadband is a provider that's been selling Internet plans out of Warragul, Victoria for 25 years or so. You can pick up either an NBN plan or fixed wireless if you can't get a fixed line.

Swoop Broadband's plans are just fine from a price perspective, lining up with the Finder averages for their tier. The limited data NBN12 plan isn't too bad, considering that 100GB is a reasonable cap for such a slow connection tier. On top of that, Swoop Broadband's typical speeds are good to excellent on all their tiers (e.g. Standard typical speed of 44Mbps versus ACCC average of 42.6Mbps).

Its fixed wireless plans aren't quite as competitive, but still provide some mammoth data allowances for customers who need it. That said, given that fixed wireless caps out at a maximum of 25Mbps, 1,000GB is likely more than you'll be able to consume in a month with a fixed wireless plan.

Swoop Broadband extra features

    • Home phone. If you want a VoIP phone line to go with your NBN plan, you can pick from three options:
      • VIP. $10 per month for pay as you go calls with $65 of credit.
      • Celebrity. $20 per month for pay as you go calls with $120 credit.
      • Superstar. $30 per month for pay as you go calls with $200 credit.
    • Referral bonus. If a friend mentions you when they sign up to Swoop Broadband, you could get $50 worth of credit on your own account.

Is Swoop Broadband right for you?

Pros

  • Great value NBN plans. Swoop Broadband sells plans at average prices but with great typical speeds.

Cons

  • No extras. Swoop Broadband doesn't have any fancy extra features on its plans, so you'll have to go elsewhere if you're looking for some.

The bottom line: Swoop Broadband's fixed line NBN connections are solid from a price perspective and offer good to great typical speeds to boot, all without lock-in contracts.
