How we picked these4G home internet, also known as home wireless broadband, connects you to the internet using the mobile network, just like your phone does.
Instead of a fixed-line connection, it runs through a modem that stays in one place, making it a great option for home use but not something you can take on the go.
Not always. It depends on factors such as network coverage, tower congestion and provider restrictions.
The easiest way to check is to head to the provider's website, enter your address, and see if you're eligible.
There are seven providers in our database offering 4G home internet plans. These include:
There are fewer 4G home internet providers, likely because the speeds are better suited for smaller households or lighter use, which makes up a smaller portion of internet users.
Before we dive into speeds, it's worth noting that all the 4G home internet plans in our table offer unlimited data, so you don't need to worry about tracking your usage.
Now, onto the speeds, which can vary between plans and providers.
4G home internet plans are frequently capped to a maximum download speed of 20-25Mbps.
Typical evening download speeds (7-11pm) when most people are online range from 16 to 25Mbps.
This speed is great for browsing, emails, social media, and streaming music, as well as SD and HD video. However, it's not suitable for 4K streaming and potentially online gaming.
At this speed, 1-3 people could be online at the same time, but you may notice a lag if all 3 of you are medium-to-heavy internet users and logged in simultaneously.
Upload speeds usually range from 1-2Mbps. Optus is an exception, offering maximum upload speeds of 8Mbps.
| Provider | Fastest typical evening download speeds available |
|---|---|
| iiNet | 16Mbps |
| Kogan Internet | 16Mbps |
| Optus | 16Mbps |
| Southern Phone | Typical evening speed unavailable; maximum speed is 20Mbps |
| SpinTel | 25Mbps |
| TPG | 16Mbps |
| Yomojo | 16Mbps |
If you're looking for faster speeds, a 5G home internet plan could be a better choice, as you can get typical evening speeds of up to 300Mbps.
Since all 4G home internet plans offer unlimited data, the best plan will mostly come down to price and speed.
Some of our top picks include SpinTel, iiNet and TPG for the reasons we describe below.
SpinTel's 4G home internet plan is a great pick for the maximum speeds you can get on this internet connection, based on the plans in our database. This is true even during peak hours (7–11pm) when most people are online.
The ongoing monthly price is just under $50, but there's a one-off $20 delivery fee for the modem plus a $4 monthly rental fee. There's no lock-in contract, so you can leave anytime.
If you're not after the fastest speeds and prefer a plan with a modem included, iiNet and TPG are solid options at just under $55 a month. You can get a refurbished modem for free - just return it when you cancel.
They also frequently offer 6-month discounts, which can help you save some money.
It depends on how you use the internet and the type of NBN connection you have.
Generally, a fixed-line NBN connection offers more stability than 4G home internet.
Several factors can affect the quality of your 4G home internet connection, including the strength of your mobile signal, your proximity to a mobile tower, network congestion, the location of your modem and weather conditions.
The pros and cons of 4G home internet compared to NBN include:

You can check if you're eligible by entering your address on its website.
If 5G isn't an option, your second option is to sign up for one of its mobile broadband plans.

You don't need to worry about installation, as you'll get a modem that's ready to plug in and use.
That said, you'll need to use the provider's modem since bringing your own isn't an option. Modem costs vary, so it's worth checking each provider's terms.
Some include it for free if you stay connected for a certain period or return it when you cancel. Others might let you rent it month-to-month for a small fee.
