Tangerine offers fast speed NBN plans that are some of the cheapest on Finder. They may not come with too many bells and whistles but they also won't make a massive dent on your monthly budget.
Tangerine could be right for you if:
However, Tangerine may not be for you if:
"If you've decided to go with the Amazon Eero to match with a Tangerine NBN Value Plan - make sure get the latest router version. I bought an old version of the Amazon Eero and it's not compatible with all NBN providers."
Tangerine's plans come with no setup fee and the option to BYO modem to cut down on upfront costs.
If you don't already have a modem, you can also buy one from Tangerine for an additional $198, which is about $40 above the average price of a modem when you purchase it from a provider.
Tangerine now offers two mobile broadband plans— 100GB for $34.90/month and 200GB for $49.90/month — both offering good value for money. It uses parts of Telstra's mobile network, but you'll need a 5G-ready device and to be in a 5G-ready area to get the fastest available speeds.
There's no official way to judge Tangerine's performance as it was not included in the ACCC's broadband performance report, which the ACCC wound up with its final edition in June 2026.
Tangerine self reports the following speeds during the busiest hours of the day (7-11pm):
Based on typical evening speeds alone, we can assume you will get fast speeds on its NBN 25 and NBN 50 plans since Tangerine offers the maximum speed available on these tiers.

Is tangerine available in my area
Hi Eileen, just pop in your address on Tangerine’s website and they’ll tell you if you can sign up to one of their plans. You can also use the live chat support on their website to find out. Hope this helps!
Hi CS,
How do I Bring my own modem to join your plan? What types of modem is applicable?
I got two at my home which are used for Telstra, Vodafone.
Hi John, Your best bet is to contact Tangerine directly and ask what the options are to use your modem with their plans. You can call them on 1800 211 112.
Can I use my existing IInet NBN modem?
Hi Saviour,
Tangerine does allow you to BYO modem, but it must be compatible with your NBN technology type. You also must be capable of configuring the modem you BYO yourself. The modem you had with iiNet should be also able to connect on a Tangerine plan, but you would have to confirm directly with them that this is indeed the case and also that it’s not locked to iiNet.
Hope this helps.
