I need a NBN plan no phone but that does supply the modem in its plan
Hi Karmarra, most providers supply their own modem as well. Our table displays the cost of the modem on the left side. This can help you when deciding which plan to sign up to.
I need a new NBN service (no phone) unlimited Data, 50 Mbs download.
Are free modems worth the trouble?
Hi Chack,
You’d have to consider a few factors as to whether you wanted to utilise a free modem or not. Obtaining a free modem usually depends on how long you intend to stay with a provider. Most free modems are only free if you stay with a provider for a certain amount of time – say 24 or 36 months. If you leave before that time, then you will have to return the modem, otherwise you’d be charged a fee. Modems from providers would also be easy to set up with all settings pre installed and would be easier to troubleshoot with the provider’s tech support if something goes wrong.
You’re usually offered less choice with free modems though – only 1 or 2 models of modems might be offered by a provider, whereas if you BYO you could choose whatever one you wanted, as long as it was compatible.
So it would come down to the convenience of having a modem provided for you vs the choice of you being able to BYO, plus whether you’re okay with potentially staying with a provider for a long time, or returning the modem if you leave early.
Hope this helps.
