Tomi internet review

Tomi's prices on the majority of its NBN plans are slightly below the average cost in Finder's database, with the exception of its NBN Home Ultra Fast plan. Though this might not matter as much as it's the fastest speed tier available and an overkill for most households that have access to it.

Though its plan prices are competitive, its typical evening speeds during the busy hours of the day (7-11pm) leave something to be desired, especially given the lack of features on its plan.

Tomi could be right for you if:

  • You want a simple, no frills NBN plan
  • You want the option to pause your internet services for up to 4 weeks in the year

It may not be the right fit for you if:

  • You don't want to sign up to a 24-month contract. Its month-to-month plans incur a $99 connection fee which is usually waived with other month-to-month providers.

Value for money

Tomi offers plans across 5 NBN speed categories, barring the slowest tier, NBN 12.

Its prices are roughly in line with the average in Finder's database. However, additional fees make its value proposition less attractive.

You'll have to pay a $99 connection fee on its month-to-month plans and a further $120 (plus delivery) if you don't have your own modem.

Both of these charges can be avoided if you're willing to sign up to a 24-month contract.

Watch out for:

  • If you sign up to a contract but exit early, you'll need to pay out the modem cost. It will cost $5.90 for each month remaining in the 24-month period.

Performance

Tomi internet is not part of the ACCC broadband performance report, so the reliability of its speeds cannot be officially verified.

  • Why does this matter? The ACCC report allows customers to see which NBN providers are delivering the speeds they've advertised as a measure of reliability.

Based on its advertised typical evening speeds for NBN plans, you're unlikely to hit the maximum speed on most speed tiers.

If maximum typical evening speeds are important to you, you may want to look at other providers.

  • Good to know: Maximum speed is the fastest speed you can get on a speed tier. For example, NBN 50 plans come with a maximum speed of 50Mbps.
