How to choose

What to actually look at.

Headline speeds are mostly marketing. These are the four numbers we look at first when scoring a plan — in the order that matters.

Read our full method

Typical evening speed, not "up to"

Every retailer must publish a typical evening speed for 7–11pm. That's the only honest number on the page — the gap between providers on the same tier is the real product difference.

Ongoing price, not intro

Most discounted deals roll to a higher rate after six months. We compare on the 12-month total cost so the savings are real, not just the first invoice.

Contract terms in plain English

If there's a lock-in, an early-termination fee, or a modem you can't take with you, we flag it. Lock-in on home internet is rare now — there's almost never a reason to accept one.

Upload speed

Video calls, cloud backups and file sharing all run on upload. Plans on the same download tier can differ 2x or more on upload — check it before you sign.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

Is NBN 100 enough for a family of four?
For most four-person households doing two HD streams plus work calls and general browsing simultaneously, 100 Mbps is comfortable. We'd only recommend NBN 250+ if you regularly upload large files or have five or more simultaneous heavy users — and note NBN 250 needs an FTTP or HFC connection.
How is 5G home internet different from NBN?
5G runs over the mobile network instead of fixed-line infrastructure. In a strong coverage area it can be faster and cheaper than NBN 100; outside metro zones performance is highly variable, and the modem is usually locked to a single address.
Will my internet drop out while switching?
No — the new provider coordinates the switch and your connection stays active. If you're staying on the same technology type, no technician visit is needed and the change-over typically takes a few days.
How often do you re-check these plans?
We re-verify pricing and typical evening speed claims on a regular cycle and whenever a provider announces a change — each review shows its last updated date.
