Discover Vodafone Business nbn plans

👋 Hey there! We've partnered with Vodafone Business for this article, so we'll be using some examples of its plans throughout. However, you should always do your own research. Make sure you always read the product terms and conditions before signing up for a phone plan.

1. Get faster speed

Your internet speed and digital tools are some of your best assets for staying ahead of your competition. So switching providers offers the opportunity to get a much speedier connection, particularly if you have a fibre to the premises (FTTP) connection or are eligible for an upgrade.

FTTP allows for speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps. In other words, pretty much the fastest connection you can get right here in Australia!

Now, FTTP isn't available everywhere in Australia as yet – but you can check your business address eligibility on the nbn website.

One provider that offers FTTP to eligible addresses is Vodafone Business, with a range of different speeds available to suit your business needs.

And don't forget – having faster internet isn't just about having more speed, either. It also means more bandwidth, too. This becomes particularly important as your company expands and you've got more devices attached to your network.

2. Reduce business costs

When you run your own business, managing operating costs and cashflow has got to be one of your top priorities.

This includes day-to-day expenses and bills – like your internet connection. Swapping to a new provider can help bring down your business expenses.

Vodafone Business unlimited business nbn plans start from $85 a month.

And sometimes, you may even be able to take advantage of multiple promotions simultaneously.

For example, an nbn fibre upgrade is also available for nbn 100 and over plans. Upgrading can give you a discount on your plan, on top of any other savings you may be making.

So if you switch to Vodafone Business Fast+ (which is the lowest speed tier that supports a fibre connection) and upgrade to fibre before 30 September 2024, you can receive $10 off your plan fee for the first six months.

Keeping an eye out for deals like this can help you cut back on unnecessary costs. This can help free up some extra bucks to reinvest back into growing your company.

3. Get a current modem

Now, there's no question that your provider and where you live can make a big difference to your internet speed. But you've gotta have the right hardware in place too.

If your modem is more than a few years old...well, it might not be fit for purpose anymore. It might lack the grunt it needs to handle the fastest nbn speeds that are available with FTTP.

The good news is that sometimes when you switch your business internet service, you can score a new modem at the same time.

For example, Vodafone Business Broadband nbn® plans offer a Wi-Fi 6 modem for $0 when you stay connected for 24 months. Offers like this can help you not only get connected but also make sure you're getting the most out of it.

4. Minimal downtime

Look – we get it. Changing internet providers isn't always the most convenient thing to do, especially when you're running your own business.

There's the interruption to day-to-day trading and the potential for lengthy downtime if things don't run smoothly. Nightmare!

However, good providers will work with you to minimise disruption. Vodafone Business supports you and your business through the switch by providing a 4G backup service – if you're within their mobile network coverage area using the included modem – while your setup is being sorted.

Additionally, you've got a 30-day trial of the network when you join – if you don't feel it suits your needs, you're able to cancel your plan, free of charge.

5. Conduct your business from a dedicated service

In the early days of any business, it's pretty common for the home and business internet connection to be one and the same.

But long-term this isn't always a good (or sustainable) decision. Signing up for a dedicated business connection can enable better stability, remote access and more security for your organisation.

Vodafone Business achieves this by connecting your business with a dedicated IP address, helping provide stability, reliable remote access and supporting security capability.

Bigger picture, this also means you can separate your work and personal online presence much more easily.
