Compare NBN Plans from Australia's Top Providers

Why compare NBN plans here

Twenty-nine retailers sell roughly 150 NBN plans across seven speed tiers, from NBN 25 up to NBN 2000, and this page lays all of them out in one filterable table.

The structure of the Australian market is what makes this genuinely worth doing. Every retailer resells the same NBN Co wholesale network, so the fibre, copper and hybrid connections arriving at two neighbouring houses are often physically identical even when the bills differ. Because network quality is largely shared, the real differences between plans come down to price, how each service holds up during evening congestion, customer service and extras. Side-by-side comparison can therefore be decisive rather than decorative.

The filters hand choice back to you instead of serving a ranked shortlist built on someone else's idea of value. Chip buttons narrow the table to a single tier (NBN 25 through 2000), search finds a named provider, the sort dropdown includes customer-satisfaction ordering where CHOICE survey data exists, and a slider sets the highest monthly price you will consider. Tick intro-deals-only to see promotional pricing alone, click any column heading to re-sort, or lean on the best-value-per-tier line computed on the fly.

Two calculated columns do most of the analytical work. The value score divides ongoing monthly price by typical evening speed, giving cents per Mbps where lower is better, and evening speed matters because ACCC busy-hour measuring has found the industry delivering roughly 91 to 100 percent of plan speed depending on retailer. Headline numbers flatter; busy-hour numbers decide. The first-year average then spreads a promotional discount across twelve months, so a six-month teaser cannot disguise an expensive standard rate waiting behind it.

Independence here is structural, not rhetorical. Sorting runs entirely in your browser, there are no affiliate links or paid placements, and nothing asks for an address, email or phone number before showing prices. Limits still apply: prices were checked on provider websites recently and change often, the technology connected to your address (FTTP, HFC, FTTN, FTTC, fixed wireless or satellite) may cap which tiers you can actually order, and the retailer's checkout page remains the final word on what you pay.

NBN speed tiers explained

Pick a tier based on how many people share your connection and what they do online. Here is what each tier realistically handles in 2026.

Can your connection get these speeds?

Your maximum tier depends on the NBN technology installed at your address. Around five million FTTN and FTTC homes can move to full fibre at no cost, and ordering a plan of NBN 500 or faster usually triggers the upgrade automatically.
