Swoop review

There's not too much to set Swoop apart from the competition, but it's not a bad option if you're looking for an affordable NBN plan with fast speeds.

  • Swoop's plan prices hover around the average for similar plans on Finder. However, you'll get more bang for your buck if you sign up when it's running promotions such as 6-month sign-up discounts.
  • You have the option to BYO modem or buy one from Swoop for $130. This in line with the average price for a modem on Finder.
  • If you'd like to recommend Swoop to a friend, you can score a $15 referral discount on your own plan for 6 months.
  • If the NBN isn't available to you, Swoop also offers plans on its independent fixed wireless network as an alternative.

Things to watch out for

  • NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans are only available to households that have either HFC or FTTP connection types.

Our expert says

"I switched to Swoop after my introductory offer from Kogan expired. At the time, Swoop was offering a $20 monthly discount for the first 6 months on its no lock-in contract NBN 100 plan. This saved me $120 overall. The internet is fast and reliable and there is an online portal to update payment details and manage your service, which Kogan did not have."
