We currently don't have that product, but here are others to consider:
How we picked theseTypical download speeds may vary at your premises due to your connection type. The speeds shown on our comparison table are in accordance with product information from each provider. Your maximum and typical download speeds should be confirmed with your selected internet provider upon signup.
The key to comparing NBN plans is finding the right balance between price and speed - everything else comes after.
If any of the points feel unclear, don't worry, as we'll be unpacking them further in the guide.
There are 6 main NBN speed tiers, from slowest to fastest: NBN 12, NBN 25, NBN 50, NBN 100, NBN 250 and NBN 1000.
Choosing the right one depends on how many people are in your household and what you use the internet for.
For most people, the sweet spots are NBN 50 (2-3 people) and NBN 100 (3-4 people or heavy internet users).
The two highest speed tiers are only available to households with a Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) NBN connection.
Every NBN plan is tied to a specific speed tier, but the speeds you actually experience in the evening (7-11 pm) can vary due to network congestion.
This is called the typical evening speed. For example, an NBN 100 plan has a maximum speed of 100 Mbps, but a provider might list its typical evening speed as 98Mbps.
The faster the typical evening speed, the more reliable it'll be during the busiest hours of the day.
Unlimited data NBN plans are now the norm, though a few providers still offer data-capped plans for just a few dollars less.
These are becoming increasingly rare and generally aren't great value for money.
The general rule is that faster speeds cost more. However, after multiple NBN price hikes, the gap between slower and faster plans has narrowed, so it's worth comparing across the board.
Providers are also using these changes to make higher-speed plans more appealing.
Many plans also come with introductory discounts - most commonly for the first 6 months, so you can save even more when signing up.
Just make sure to compare both discounted prices and ongoing costs, especially if you don't plan on switching around once the offer expires.
Plenty of providers let you BYO modem with your NBN plan, which can save on upfront costs when switching. A few things to keep in mind:
Make sure your current modem is compatible with the provider you plan to switch to.
If your modem is five years or older, upgrading is worth considering, as older hardware can cause slower speeds, buffering or lag and may not support faster speed tiers.
If you want a new modem, you can buy one from your provider. It's worth comparing these costs just like you would with NBN plans.
Some providers may also offer a modem for $0 if you stay connected for a set period or return it when you leave.
Most NBN plans now come with no lock-in contract. If you choose one of the rarer plans with a contract, make sure the price is right or you're getting something extra in return.
Most of us just want reliable internet, but some NBN plans also offer bundling discounts or add-ons.
This can include NBN and mobile bundles, internet and energy bundles, or the option to add a phone line with call packs.
There are 6 main speed tiers available in Australia right now, though you may notice some providers offer plans in between - NBN 15 from Dodo or NBN 75 from Aussie Broadband.
Here's a look at the main categories so you can use the information as a benchmark to compare all NBN plans.
| NBN speed tier | Maximum download speed | Maximum upload speed | Great for |
|---|---|---|---|
NBN 12 | 12Mbps | 1Mbps | Light use: 1-2 people browsing, checking email, or streaming occasionally on a single device |
NBN 25 | 25Mbps | 10Mbps | Light use: 1-2 people browsing, emailing, streaming in HD, or making video calls on a couple of devices |
NBN 50 | 50Mbps | 20Mbps | Moderate use: Sweet spot for the average household with 2-3 people streaming in HD, gaming, making video calls, or working from home |
NBN 100 | 100Mbps | 40Mbps | Moderate to heavy use: Ideal for households with 3-5 people or heavy internet users streaming in 4K on up to 5 devices, gaming online, making multiple video calls, or working from home simultaneously on up to 7 devices |
NBN 250 | 250Mbps | 100Mbps | Very heavy use: Better suited to larger households with multiple users streaming 4K on up to 7 devices, gaming online, video conferencing, and working from home |
NBN 1000 | 1000Mbps | 400Mbps | Ultra-heavy use: Serious speeds for ultra-heavy internet users or small businesses. Suited for multiple users streaming 4K across 10+ devices, gaming online, video conferencing, and working from home simultaneously |
However, NBN Co is about to shake things up with new speed upgrades coming in on 14 September 2025.
For example, NBN 100 will be boosted to NBN 500 at no extra cost for those on an FTTP or an HFC connection.
It will also be introducing a new NBN 2000 plan. We have a separate guide on all the changes since there's a lot to unpack and explain.
"I'd just moved into a new place and needed to check what internet options were available in my area. Even though we're only a household of three, I work from home so I wanted something fast and reliable for the day, plus strong enough to stream on multiple devices at night. I ended up going with Superloop's nbn250 Superfast plan which was the same price as my old nbn100 plan, and I even scored a discount for the first 3 months."
The NBN connection type at your address will determine what plans and speeds you can access.
Most Australians are on fixed-line connections such as Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC), Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) or Fibre to the Building (FTTB).
FTTP is generally considered the fastest and most reliable option, supporting all NBN speed tiers, followed by HFC.
By contrast, copper-based technologies like FTTN and FTTC often struggle to deliver speeds above NBN 100.
If you're on FTTN or FTTC, you may be eligible for a free fibre upgrade to FTTP by signing up for an NBN 100 plan or faster. Pop your address into the NBN website to check eligibility.
Others, particularly in regional or remote areas, may use fixed wireless NBN or satellite NBN (Sky Muster), with speeds capping out at 500Mbps and 100Mbps, respectively.
Pop in your address in the box to see what type of NBN connection you have.
There can be a big difference between the cheapest and most expensive NBN plans offering similar speeds.
In the following table, you can see the cheapest and most expensive NBN plans in our database (as of 19 August 2025) across various speed tiers.
We've also given an average monthly price as another benchmark to help you compare plans, as the cheapest may not always offer the best value, features or reliability.
Awards are a great way to narrow down the best of the best. See which NBN providers won Finder's 2025 product and customer satisfaction awards.
TPG has claimed Finder's Provider of the Year Award for broadband with a cracking score of 9.9. It's mostly to do with competitive pricing across the majority of its NBN and home wireless internet plans that come with no lock-in contracts, speed reliability and multiple customer support options. TPG also scored highly for customer experience, value, reliability, and trustworthiness.
Dodo knocked it out of the park with its competitive pricing for everday speeds (NBN 50). You can BYO or buy one with multiple payment options to suit your needs. There's also the option to bundle internet and energy with Dodo to save up to $10 a month.
Highly commended: SpinTel
Highly commended: Southern Phone
Dodo takes home another win for delivering fast speeds at a great price point. Its recent 12-month discounts have given it the edge this year. It's also been in the top five in the last few ACCC reports, which measure speed reliability on a quarterly basis.
SpinTel earns its first win for Best Budget NBN Provider by delivering the maximum typical evening speeds available on an NBN 25 plan, coupled with one of the lowest prices in this category.
Highly commended: Dodo
Highly commended: Southern Phone
In addition to scoring well for speed reliability in the ACCC's recent broadband performance report, TPG's NBN 250 plan offers solid value at just under $100 a month. New customers can often take advantage of six-month sign-up discounts, bringing the price down to under $85 a month for the first half of the year.
Highly commended: Dodo
Highly commended: Southern Phone
Aussie Broadband knocked it out of the park for the third year in a row as the most loved broadband provider by Australians. It got the highest overall score of 4.1 out of 5.
The ACCC's Broadband Performance report, released every quarter, gives you a glimpse into how reliable the top NBN providers are in Australia.
Reliability is based on how frequently providers achieve the typical evening speeds they advertise.
Ideally, you want your NBN provider to be as close to hitting 100% of its advertised typical evening speed as possible, because this means you're actually getting the correct speeds you've signed up for.
Have a look at the top 5 providers that have topped the chart in the most recent report.
| Rank | Provider | Percentage of max download speeds achieved |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Telstra | 104.60% |
| 2 | Exetel | 103.70% |
| 3 | Optus | 103% |
| 4 | Superloop | 102.80% |
| 5 | TPG | 102% |

FINDER40 code is not working in SWOOP
Hi Kate, FINDER40 is for Swoop’s NBN 250 plan. Which NBN speed are you opting for? You can try FINDER15 for NBN 25 and NBN 50, or FINDER25 for Swoop’s NBN 100 plans. Hope this helps!
I am an AGL electricity customer. I have my NBN connection at present with Telstra.
If I transfer can I keep my bigpond email address?
Hi Peter,
You can keep your bigpond address after closing your Telstra account, but you have to let them know when you do so. It’s free to keep for the first 12 months after you cease to be a Telstra customer. After that, it’s $79 a year.
You can find more info here: https://www.telstra.com.au/content/dam/tcom/personal/help/pdf/cis-personal/broadband/personal-critical-information-summary-paid-email.pdf
Hope this helps.
I need to get rid of 2 to 4 NBN recorded calls each day they are driving us mad.
Hi Allan,
Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear about your current situation with your NBN provider. While we review NBN in our pages, it’s helpful to know that we neither work with them or answer for their company. It would be best to contact the customer service support of NBN directly for further assistance.
Hope this clarifies and we hope they find a quick resolution for you!
With care,
Nikki
Hi, is there a hidden cost of $300 to be payed for the nbn
Hi Michael,
Thanks for getting in touch! I understand you want to get the full disclosure of NBN costs. Kindly note that while we have a review and comparison page for NBN providers, we don’t work with them directly. It would be best to reach out to your chosen NBN provider to check the net costs of using their service.
Hope this helps and feel free to reach out to us again for further assistance.
Cheers,
Nikki
I have nbn connected but I was not consulted about the location of te internet access point in the house and would like it changed. How do I organise someone to change the access point. (I live in Somerton Park, Adelaide.
Hi Ian,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
In that case, you’ll need to contact the representative who installed your NBN connection. You may also directly reach out to NBN so they can refer you to an agent.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Faye
