What is the best internet plan in Australia?

Each year we celebrate the best in broadband through our Finder Awards to help make your decision a tad bit easier.

What is the best internet plan for you?

Overwhelmed by the amount of internet deals available? Besides price, consider the following factors when trying to find an internet plan best suited for your needs.

cable
Connection type
While the NBN is usually people's first thought, you could also look into getting a home wireless plan. NBN is more widely available but if you're not impressed with its speeds, home wireless could be worth trying thanks to a bunch of first-month-free deals available..
speedometer
Speed
The right speed for you will depend on the size of your household. A general rule of thumb is the larger the household, the faster you'll want your internet speeds, especially if everyone's regularly online. Your connection type might factor into this too, with 4G home wireless potentially offering slower speeds than the NBN, whereas 5G could be faster.
wifi modem
Modem
If you're sticking to the NBN, modems are fairly affordable. But those looking into 4G or 5G home internet should be careful of the conditions attached to home wireless modems. They'll often come at no additional upfront cost but if you leave before a certain period, you may be charged a modem fee.
gift box
Promotional offers
Deals are great, but just remember the ongoing price matters too. With most internet plans coming with no lock-in contract these days, you can easily switch to another provider once a promotional offer expires. Just remember to factor in any notice periods while switching.

Our expert says

        

          
"When you start comparing internet plans, you'll notice some great deals from providers that you may not have heard of. Don't disregard them. If they're offering great speeds and no lock-in contracts, then take them for a spin to save money."

Methodology: How we researched the best internet deals
  • We compared internet plans from Finder partners across NBN and home wireless broadband which have active deals for the month, meaning they have a price discount that lasts between 1 and 12 months.
  • Additional selection criteria included plans that offer unlimited data and no-lock-in contracts.
  • The top picks were then chosen based on the total discount amount offered by the promotional deal across the 5 categories.
