Prices checked 6 October 2026 and include GST. Typical evening or busy period speeds are each provider's published 7pm to 11pm figures. MATE intro prices need the promo code shown, applied at checkout. Speeds above 100 Mbps usually need an FTTP or HFC connection, which the provider confirms at your address. On Opticomm or another private fibre estate? Most of these providers sell plans on those networks too, check your address on their site.
Already with AGL for energy? Your nbn gets $15 a month cheaper.
AGL takes $15 off every nbn plan while you hold an AGL energy plan. Standalone, AGL's plans cost more than the ones above. Bundled, the 500 Mbps plan is close to the ongoing prices above and lands on the same bill as your power. Some bundled plans currently carry a six-month intro price on top: $69 a month on the 500 Mbps plan and $55 on the 25 Mbps plan. BYO modem, no lock-in, delivered over Aussie Broadband's network.

| Home Fast Fibre 500/50 | $95 | $110 |

How we compare nbn plans
The headline price on most nbn plans is a six-month intro rate. After that the plan usually steps up by $20 to $30 a month and stays there. We rank on the ongoing price because that's what you pay for the other six months of the year and every year after, and we show the intro price underneath so the first-year saving is still visible.
Speed tiers are compared on each provider's published typical evening speed, not the plan's theoretical maximum. A 500 Mbps plan that delivers 500 in the evening is a different product from one that delivers 380.
Two things the price doesn't show. First, the modem: some plans include one on the faster tiers, most don't, and buying your own is usually $100 to $200 up front. Second, the network: plans above 100 Mbps usually need FTTP or HFC at your address, and the provider's address check is the only way to know what you can get.
Every plan on this page is month to month with no lock-in, so if the ongoing price doesn't suit you when the intro period ends, you can move to another provider's intro price. That's the honest way to use the market, and it's why the ongoing figure matters less if you're prepared to switch.
nbn plan questions
What nbn speed do I actually need?
25 Mbps covers one or two people browsing and streaming in HD. 50 Mbps handles a household of three or four with video calls and a couple of 4K streams. 500 Mbps is the tier to buy if you can get it: the ongoing price is close to the 50 Mbps plans now, and it removes speed as a question for years. 750 Mbps and above is for heavy uploaders, large households, or anyone moving big files for work.
Why do you show the ongoing price instead of the intro price?
Because the intro price lasts six months and the ongoing price lasts until you leave. A plan that's $30 cheaper for six months and $5 dearer forever costs more over two years. Showing the ongoing price first stops the intro discount from hiding that.
Can I get 500 Mbps at my address?
Usually only on FTTP or HFC connections. FTTN and FTTC addresses top out at 100 Mbps, and many are limited to less in practice. Each provider's address check tells you what your line supports before you order. If you're on FTTN, nbn's free fibre upgrade programme may cover your street, and the provider can usually arrange it when you sign up for a 100 Mbps or faster plan.
Do I need to buy a modem?
Usually yes. Most plans on this page are BYO modem, including the 500 Mbps picks. Superloop includes a free modem option on its Megaspeed and Lightspeed plans, and each provider sells a modem at checkout if you need one. Any nbn-compatible modem router works, and if you're switching providers your existing one almost always carries over.
How long does switching nbn providers take?
Usually one to two business days once you sign up, and often same day on FTTP. Your new provider handles the transfer. Because every plan here is month to month, there's no exit fee to leave your current provider, though you should check whether any intro credit or modem repayment on your existing plan is still owing.
