An FTTP or Fibre to the Premises connection is where a fibre optic cable runs directly to your premises.
FTTP is considered the fastest and most reliable NBN connection around, and you can access download speeds up to 1,000Mbps.
"I've used the NBN for my home broadband for years and moved from FTTN to FTTP. Wow, what a difference! Previously, living in the inner city I had issues with slow speeds due to FTTN running via very old copper wires. I moved over to FTTP as soon as it became available in my area and the reliability and speed increase was instant. Now I can work from home without drop outs, which is a big win. To sign up to FTTP, I just requested it via my internet service provider and they organised the rest. I did need to be home so they could attach an NBN box to the front of my house, but that was the hardest part. Now that's done I can swap providers easily moving forward."
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.

We are currently on the Telstra Starter internet plan with 50 GB of data @ 12Mbps. We use approximately 30 GB per month We have 2 Smartphones with AldiMobile & together we use only $200.00 for both per year Telstra @ 65.00 a month = $780.00 + $200.00 = $980.00 per year. Our 12 Mbps is a bit slow, so is their any other plan that would suit us. Thanking you for your time. Cheers David
Hi David, unlimited data plans are so common now across all speed tiers and they’re all competitively priced too. If NBN 12 is a bit slow it might be good to move up a speed tier to NBN 25 (up to 25Mbps) and see how you go. You can compare plans here https://www.finder.com.au/broadband-plans/nbn/compare-nbn-25-plans. The filters can help you further narrow down your options. For example, Tangerine’s NBN 25 plan gives you a discounted price of $47.90 a month for the first 6 months, then $67.90 a month on going. The 12-month cost works out to $694.80 which is cheaper than the $780 for the year with Telstra. And you get double the speed + unlimited data. That’s just one example. If you compare, you might be able to find even cheaper options. If NBN 25 also ends up being slow, you can jump up to NBN 50 very easily. Hope this helps!
