Read all about how we chose the best NBN 50 in our guide while stacking it against other standout offers across other speed categories.

Note: We only looked at Finder partners to pick the best NBN 50 plan.

Is NBN 50 fast enough?

NBN 50 plans come with download speeds of up to 50Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20Mbps.

It's a great option for everyday use or as we'd like to put it, for the laidback streamers. In fact, it's the most popular speed tier in Australia at the moment.

Pros

  • Well-suited to a household of 2-3 with moderate internet usage
  • Also ideal for someone who works from home and is often online
  • Good enough to handle quick browsing, multiple video streams, online gaming and video calls
  • Heaps of sign-up deals available, including 6-month discounts

Cons

  • Download and upload speeds might fall short if several people in the household are heavy internet users
  • NBN 50 prices have gone up a fair bit in recent times. Paying a few extra dollars a month for NBN 100 might be worth it, especially if you need faster speeds.

Tip: Not all NBN plans on the same tier are equal. Look out for the advertised typical evening speeds on the plan. You want to aim for anything close to the maximum speed available on the tier, which would be 50Mbps, to really get your money's worth.

According to Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker, 78% of Aussies say they're satisfied with their speeds on NBN 50.

Can I get NBN 50?

Anyone on the NBN can sign up for an NBN 50 plan, regardless of their connection type.

So, in short, yes, you should be able to get NBN 50.

"I have an NBN 50 plan and have never had any problems in my 4-person household. Even when all 4 people are online at the same time streaming or gaming, the connection holds up fine and there are no buffering or lag issues."

How much do NBN 50 plans cost?

The average monthly cost of fixed-line NBN 50 plans on Finder is $82 a month as of December 2024.

You can, however, take advantage of sign-up deals that can discount the price for the first few months to under $65-$70.

NBN 50 vs NBN 100

If you're experiencing buffering because too many people at home are online simultaneously, it might be worth upgrading to NBN 100.

The average price difference between fixed-line NBN 50 and NBN 100 plans on Finder is around $12 per month.

However, some providers have reduced the ongoing prices on NBN 100 plans (while increasing the cost of NBN 50), so you might be able to get faster speeds for less than you think.

Compare NBN 100 plans to see if any deals take your fancy.
