Vodafone internet review: Our verdict

Along with phone plans, Vodafone offers a variety of internet services: NBN, home wireless and mobile broadband plans.

While this means you have plenty of home internet options to choose from, keep in mind that Vodafone's mobile coverage is the least of the 3 networks so make sure you're within its footprint before you sign up.

The main advantage to signing up to Vodafone is the exclusive discounts and bundling options for its customers. Existing Vodafone mobile customers get discounted pricing on NBN and home wireless plans, making it a lot more valuable.

Vodafone is right for you if:

  • You already have a Vodafone phone plan. This will open up further discounts on NBN and home wireless plans.
  • You'd like to bundle 2 or more plans and enjoy running discounts.

On the other hand, keep in mind that Vodafone:

  • Isn't the cheapest option for non-Vodafone customers. The prices are high when not coupled with any discounts. You can find cheaper plans with faster speeds from other providers.

Value for money

Vodafone has plans on all speed tiers between NBN 25 and NBN 1000.

If you already have a phone plan with Vodafone, you can get a $5 discount per month on your NBN bill. The discount makes Vodafone's plans a lot more attractive in price. However, without the discount, you could find cheaper options with faster speeds elsewhere.

Vodafone NBN plans come with the option to BYO modem or buy one from it for a maximum cost of $180, which is more expensive than the average modem on Finder.

Things to watch out for:

  • You can get the modem for free if you stay connected with Vodafone NBN for 24 months. But if you leave early, you'll have to pay $7.50 per month for each remaining month on your plan.

Vodafone offers both 4G and 5G home wireless plans, depending on the availability at your address.

The 4G Home Wireless plan offers unlimited data at speeds up to 20Mbps. The 5G Home Internet plan also offers unlimited data but gives you 2 speed options – up to 50Mbps or up to 100Mbps.

The discounts for existing Vodafone customers bring the plan prices down ($10 discount per month for the 4G plan or $5 for the 5G) making it on par with other home wireless plan prices on Finder. You'll also score the first month free if you're thinking of trying before buying.

Things to watch out for:

  • Both 4G and 5G home wireless plans can only be used with Vodafone's Wi-Fi Hub modem. It won't cost you anything if you stay with Vodafone for 24 months. However, if you end the contract early, you'll have to pay $7.50 per month for each remaining month for the 4G plan's modem, or $17 per month for the 5G plan. That's up to $180 for 4G and $612 for 5G.

Vodafone offers competitively priced modem and SIM-only mobile broadband plans, along with prepaid mobile broadband plans.

Red Modem plans are for those who do not have their own modems. You can purchase the modem on an interest-free repayment period of 12, 24 or 36 months. If you cancel your plan before the end of this period, you'll need to pay off your modem in 1 go.

If you're bringing your own modem, you can opt for one of the SIM-only mobile broadband plans. Both Red Modem and SIM-only options offer 30GB, 70GB and 150GB plans.

  • Tip: When signing up, look out for any limited offers for monthly bonus data, which boosts the value of your plan.

Prepaid mobile broadband plans on offer are 60GB with 30-day expiry, 90GB with 30-day expiry, 120GB with 30-day expiry, 110GB with 365-day expiry and 250GB with 365-day expiry. Any unused data will roll over when you recharge, capped at 50GB. You can get a $5 discount with every automatic recharge.

Performance

In March 2024, Vodafone came 12th out of 12 providers in the ACCC broadband performance report for download speeds during busy hours of the day (7pm–11pm). It delivered maximum speeds 96.3% of the time.

  • Why this matters: The ACCC report allows customers to see which NBN providers are delivering the speeds they've advertised as a measure of reliability.

It was the most improved in the December 2023 report, bouncing back from 11th place in the September 2023 report.

What if I'm moving house?
This is only really relevant for NBN and home wireless plans. You can select a date during the sign-up process for when you'd like your new Vodafone NBN plan to be activated. Keep in mind that it could take up to 5 business days to get connected. Those using home wireless will need to check if their new address is covered on their current plan.
Make sure to give your current provider a heads-up in case there's a notice period to account for. You don't want to be stuck paying for 2 internet services.

      Hi Pam,
      

      Depending on what device you’re using and whether you’re making calls and text or are after data, generally your address has good coverage and supports 3G and 3G+.
      

      To test your device and its reception, you can check your Vodafone coverage here: http://www.vodafone.com.au/aboutvodafone/network/checker
      

      Hope that helps,
