The cheapest unlimited internet plans will often be those on the NBN 12 or NBN 25 speed tiers. This offers a maximum speed of 12Mbps and 25Mbps respectively. While this could suit light users in a small household, these speeds won't usually be fast enough for most Australians.

Yes, when an internet provider says they offer unlimited data, then that's what you'll get. There is no data limit for your monthly usage.
Keep in mind that there is a fair use policy in general for the NBN, where if you use it in an excessive or unreasonable manner, or in a way that may affect the performance of the network, you may have your access cut off.
That would, however, require activities well beyond the scope of standard internet usage.
You'll need to consider 3 variables when searching for the right unlimited internet plan for your household: Speed, price and provider.
Speed matters no matter which type of internet connection you're after. While you have less control over the speed of wireless connections, you do have a say if you're after an NBN plan.
Fortunately, many internet providers in Australia offer unlimited internet plans at reasonable prices, especially if you take into account their 6-month sign-up discounts.
You can expect prices to start at $34 and go up to well over $150 per month if you're on the fastest NBN speed tier available.
Getting faster speeds means a higher bill, so make sure you're getting the right speed for your household.
Big brand names may offer you more bang for buck with extra plan perks, but it's always good to consider how important these are to you.
Cheaper providers may not offer as many features but can still give you a good balance between price and speed if that's all that matters to you.

If you don't want to worry about how much data you're using each month, then an unlimited plan is definitely the way to go.
Unlimited internet plans are the norm in Australia. But if you're not a regular internet user, you could still save some money by choosing a data-capped plan instead.
Data-capped NBN plans ranging from 200GB-2000GB do exist and tend to be about $10 cheaper than an unlimited plan.
You could save around $120 a year with a data-capped plan if you don't need unlimited internet.
Not all providers have these data-capped options, so you'll need to compare plans to find them. Some providers include Escapenet, Future Broadband and Clear Networks.
I have an unlimited data NBN plan with Aussie Broadband and with 2 kids in the household it makes life easier that we don't have to monitor downloads. Especially with streaming and gaming big at our place, this can use hundreds of gigabytes each month. Having the internet slow down or cut off doing an important download or major binge session would be a disaster, so I'm very happy that we can avoid this.— Mark Neilsen, utilities writer and big data user
The easiest way to know how much data you need and if you could benefit from a data-capped plan is to keep track of your usage.
You can do this by checking your internet bill or through your online account on your provider's website or their app.
As a guide, NBN Co found that the average customer uses 445GB a month. To relate that to some common internet activities, that's the equivalent of:
So unless you have the luxury of watching that much Netflix, or the misfortune of having to sit through that many video conference calls, then you might not even need that much data.
We've also broken down some common internet activities and some recurring monthly data limits on NBN plans for the average user.

Hi Shanyn, you can learn more about the NBN upgrade via our news story.
Hi,
which home wifi would i be able to get installed the quickest? In a unit in westend QLD?
As far i can know there is no existing nbn set up here or ever has been before. Would also need the modem included in the deal as i do not have my own.
Thanks for your time
Hi Rebecca,
It depends on a provider as to how quickly you could get internet set up. If there is no NBN connection and you wanted a home internet connection without having to wait for the NBN to be installed (a wait for an NBN technician could take between 1-4 weeks depending on availability), you could consider whether a 4G or 5G home internet connection would work for you. This could have you online quicker if you’re in a provider’s coverage area. You can read more in our guides:

Most providers offer a modem included with plans if you don’t have your own, so just check with the provider when signing up to make sure this is an option.
Hope this helps.
would I be able to connect to an unlimited service at 1005 HIllcroft rd Jelcobine
Hi Val,
Thanks for your question.
Generally, if the internet provider is available in your area, you can avail of the unlimited plan. However, it is best to compare the options on our comparison table by viewing their details, such as data, fees, and plan information. Once you have made your choice, click “Go to site” to be redirected to their official site. Then you can further confirm if the unlimited data is available in your area along with other inquiries you might have.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Anne
