A fixed wireless connection uses radio signals to connect your premises to the NBN. These signals are transmitted from a tower in your area to an antenna installed on your roof. This antenna as well as an NBN connection box has to be installed by a technician.
With a fixed wireless connection, you can expect download speeds of up to 75Mbps. But the quality and maximum speed of fixed wireless NBN varies greatly due to many circumstances such as network congestion, your proximity to the fixed wireless tower and whether you have a clear line of sight to the tower among many factors.
Finder found the average broadband user spends $75 per month on their internet plan, but your budget might very well be different. The price of your plan will largely depend on what NBN speed you're after.
This depends on the size of your household and what you're planning to use the internet for. The general rule is: The more people in your home and the more time you're spending on the internet, the faster the speed you'll need.
Unlimited is usually recommended if you use the internet regularly. Lighter users can potentially get away with plans that come with a specific data allowance, for example 10-500GB a month. Keep in mind this will save you around $5 a month, but may not be worth it if you think you'll exceed your data limit.
To help you find the right NBN plan for your needs, you can use our handy filters on the comparison table above to narrow down your choices to your preference.
Good for a single-person home with basic internet needs such as browsing, social media, and light streaming.
Suited to 1- or 2-person households that want to browse, stream and work from home.
Best for a 2-3 person household with medium internet usage such as streaming Netflix, browsing, downloading files and taking Zoom video calls.
For 3-4 people who are simultaneously online. You can avoid buffering internet issues while streaming, working from home or uploading and downloading files.
This could suit households with 5+ people that watch multiple 4K streams, are mostly working from home or are serious gamers.
Mostly suited to small businesses rather than your regular family home, unless there are multiple people living in your household with very heavy internet usage.

Does the comparison site compare type of service (fttn/fttp) available at the address?
Hi Anne,
You can enter your address into Finder’s address tracker to see what kind of NBN connection type you have at your property: https://www.finder.com.au/nbn-tracker
You will only have one connection type, but depending on your address, if it’s FTTN or FTTC, there may be an option to upgrade to FTTP. You can check if your address is eligible for this upgrade here: https://www.nbnco.com.au/residential/upgrades/more-fibre
Generally speaking though, when you compare FTTN to FTTP, you get more reliable and faster NBN on an FTTP connection than FTTN as high-speed fibre optic cables run directly to your home.
Hope this helps.
