Why compare internet plans with Finder?
We don't charge extra. Prices shown on Finder are the same as those you get directly from internet providers.
We compare almost every major internet provider in Australia, all in one place.
Our team is dedicated to monitoring internet plan prices and keeping deals updated daily.
We calculated potential savings by comparing the prices of the cheapest and most expensive broadband plans in our database (as of 2 August 2024) over a 12-month period.
We looked at unlimited NBN plans with no lock-in contracts. Here's the full list of savings for each NBN speed tier:
While you could save over $1000 in a year by opting for the cheapest NBN 1000 plan, the most relevant savings figure is $480 for NBN 50. This is because NBN 50 plans are the most popular in Australia. 44.2% of homes are signed up to an NBN 50 plan, according to the ACCC.
Keep in mind that your own savings figure may be different depending on the broadband plan you're currently on and the one you're considering switching to.
The cost of NBN plans has been changing since October, with NBN 50 plans becoming more expensive and NBN 100 plans becoming cheaper in comparison. Find out how much more you're paying on your utilities bill.
Every year, we hold the Finder Awards to crown the top-performing brands for customer satisfaction, value and sustainability. Here are the most recent internet plan winners at the Finder Awards:
Tangerine shone across the most popular speed tiers for price and speed. It's always slinging 6-month signup offers and has multiple ways for people to get in touch which is handy, especially if you don't want to get on the phone directly. You can also BYO modem or bundle a home phone line for an additional $10 a month.
Highly commended NBN providers for both categories were Superloop and TPG.
TPG knocked it out of the park for its competitive pricing and 50Mbps typical evening speed, which is the maximum speed available in this category. You can also sign up for its 6-month NBN 50 plan if you want a modem for $0 and use the live chat feature for support.
SpinTel's NBN 100 plan is one of the cheapest around and offers a typical speed of 100Mbps (the maximum available on this speed tier). Together with its well-priced plan, you'll get access to multiple support channels including phone, live chat and WhatsApp or Messenger.
Superloop offers Superfast speeds for just under $100 a month and close to the maximum speed available on an NBN 250 plan. It often runs 6-month signup discounts which makes it stack up extremely well on price vs typical download speed. It also offers the option to boost your internet speed 5 times a month at no extra cost.
Finalists are Exetel and Southern Phone.
Exetel came out on top for value. Its NBN 25 plan, also known as Exetel NBN Everyday, is the cheapest one on offer from the provider and comes with 25Mbps typical evening speeds, the maximum you can get on this speed tier. Plus, we've already established it's one of the more reliable providers around so you know you're getting your money's worth.
After being a finalist for the last couple years, Goodtel scored the crown this year for its sustainable practices. It scored well for its low emissions intensity, renewable energy use and high recycling rates.

Give your current provider enough notice that you're switching so you're not paying for 2 bills at once.

I recently moved house after almost 5 years. It's gotten so much easier to move providers, thankfully. I was set up within the same day of moving in to the new place.— Gary Ross Hunter, insurance expert and renter
There are 2 types of broadband available: fixed line, which is a physical cable connected to your property; and wireless internet, which uses the same network as your mobile and is portable.
These are further broken down into sub-categories such as NBN, home wireless, mobile broadband and ADSL.
The NBN (National Broadband Network) is a network of high-speed fibre optic cables owned by the government and accessible to most Australians. Since it's made up of a mix of technologies, your actual NBN connection type will vary depending on where you live. This is why your address matters so much when buying an NBN plan.
ADSL uses copper telephone lines to send data signals. It isn't capable of transferring data as quickly as the NBN. Now that the NBN rollout is officially complete, most Aussies have switched from the old ADSL technology to the NBN.
Mobile broadband is the same as the internet access you get with a mobile plan, except you can't make or receive calls or texts. You can stick the data-only SIM in your tablet, Wi-Fi dongle or phone to get online.
This works exactly like mobile broadband with some extra features. You usually get a higher data allowance and a bigger modem, making it less portable. A home wireless broadband plan can be seen as an alternative to the NBN offering similar speeds or even faster if you get 5G coverage in your area.

Consider these 5 questions while you're comparing internet plans to make sure you find one that's right for you.
Finder research shows the average broadband user spends $75 per month on their internet plan, but your budget might very well be different. The price of your plan will largely depend on what internet speed you're after.
This depends on the size of your household and what you're planning to use the internet for. The general rule is that the more people in your home and the more time you're spending on the internet, the faster the speed you'll need.
Unlimited is usually recommended if you use the internet regularly. Lighter users can potentially get away with plans that come with a specific data allowance, for example 10–500GB a month. This will save you around $5 a month, but may not be worth it if you think you'll exceed your data limit.
Most providers these days offer no lock-in contracts, so if you do sign up for a contracted plan, make sure there's something in it for you. This could be a free modem or a plan discount.
While we recommend keeping your options open when comparing, we know that not all providers are created equal. Your choice of internet provider matters for things such as customer service, tech support and reliability of advertised speeds.
Good for a single-person home with basic internet needs such as browsing, social media and light streaming.
Suited to 1- or 2-person households that want to browse, stream and work from home.
Best for a 2- to 3-person household with medium internet usage such as streaming Netflix, browsing, downloading files and taking Zoom video calls.
For 3-4 people who are simultaneously online. You can avoid buffering internet issues while streaming, working from home or uploading and downloading files.
This could suit households with 5+ people that watch multiple 4K streams, are mostly working from home or are serious gamers.
Mostly suited to small businesses rather than your regular family home, unless there are lots of people in your household with very heavy internet usage.

Hi Danish, We’re a review and comparison site, we don’t have customer service staff, we simply connect you with options for your household suppliers. Your best bet is to contact a retailer directly.
Best of luck!
I want home internet, currently have a telstra mobile plan $49 per month want a plan now that combines home internet & mobile so I can use my laptop at home. Single pensioner, don’t want WiFi, don’t trust. Need a modem/router supplied also.
Hi Pauly, if you’re trying to avoid Wi-Fi your bundling options are limited and you might be better off getting a home internet plan separately. Your options include a home wireless internet plan. By plugging in an ethernet cable directly to your laptop you can avoid using Wi-Fi. Alternatively, you could consider getting a mobile broadband plan and plugging in a dongle directly into your laptop. You can see the following guides to check out plans and more detailed information. Hope they help!

Have been a Telstra customer for many years, but in recent times they have gotten rid of alumni staff discounts and prices have gone up, so I’m looking for a cheaper NBN plan. The only reason I am still with them is due to my longstanding Bigpond email account which I use as contact for most of my financial and personal contacts. Is there a way of keeping my existing email account while transferring to another provider?
Your Bigpond email is tied to your Telstra account, so you’ll need to keep it if you want to maintain that email address. Hope this helps.
why will my I pad drop out and not reconnect when I put the password in from the back of the modem which connect my lap top and tablet regards R Freeman
Hi R&E Freeman,
Thanks for your message. If your laptop and tablet can connect using the internet received and password from the back of the modem, then for sure there wouldn’t be a problem reconnecting your iPad as well.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Nikki
