Dodo NBN review: Our verdict

You might be familiar with Dodo from the days of ADSL, but its NBN plans aren't too shabby either.

Dodo's prices put it in line with average NBN prices on Finder, and you can save a further $10 a month when you bundle your internet plan with a Dodo Energy plan.

Dodo NBN may be right for you if

  • You'd like an affordable NBN plan with decent sign-up discounts for new customers.
  • You're interested in bundling internet and energy with one provider.

While Dodo NBN has a lot going for it, consider

  • Its NBN 250 plans do not offer maximum typical evening speeds. You could find a better speed and price combo elsewhere.

What do Australians think of dodo NBN?

  • 3.95/5 overall for Customer Satisfaction — higher than the average of 3.93
  • 4.22/5 for Trust — higher than the average of 4.08
  • 3.84/5 for Customer Service — lower than the average of 3.93

Value for money

Dodo's plans are in line with the average NBN plan on Finder thanks to its sign-up discounts on almost all plans.

Dodo offers a BYO modem option, so you don't have to fork out for an additional modem if you already have one.

Performance

In December 2024, Dodo shared 2nd position (out of 12 providers) with iPrimus, in the ACCC Broadband Performance Report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 102.4% of the time.

  • Why this matters: The ACCC Report allows customers to see which NBN providers are delivering the speeds they've advertised, as a measure of reliability.

This was Dodo's equal highest placing since having last ranked fifth in the December 2021 report.

Dodo has several ways for you to get in touch with its customer support team, but only on weekdays. There are no weekend customer support options.

  • Reach out via live chat on its website or sling the customer support team an email
  • Log in to your account and submit a support request
  • Visit Dodo's support page for frequently asked questions

What if I'm moving house?
You can select a date during the sign-up process for when you'd like your new Dodo plan to be activated. Keep in mind that it could take up to 20 business days to get connected.

Make sure to give your current provider a heads-up in case there's a notice period to account for. No one wants to end up paying 2 NBN bills.

      Hi Garry,

      The price listed on Finder is a Finder Exclusive price, so to access it you need to click the green “Go to site” button. The offer is valid until 27 February 2024.

      I hope that helps.

    You show the Dodo Unlimited 50/20 Mbps for $79.90 per month. There is an extra charge of $10 a month to cover all calls. Full set up costs are $232.90.

    The iSelect salesman is offering me the same plan with all calls covered for $79.95. He has not mentioned any set up costs.

    Can he provide me with this service at this price? Should I be careful about the no mention of set up costs?

      Hi Ty,

      Thanks for your enquiry. Unless iSelect has a unique deal with Dodo, it should only be able to offer you the regular Dodo service priced as you cited: $79.90 for 50Mbps, with $10 a month extra for unlimited calls.

      As for the setup costs, it’s possible the iSelect offer was for a 24-month contract which waives the setup fee. The minimum cost you mentioned is correct for the month-to-month contract.

      I hope this helps, but please feel free to ask any more questions you have!

      Regards,

      Matt
