Every plan gets scored against your inputs: whether its typical speed covers your household, whether the data cap holds up, how latency affects gaming or video calls, and what it really costs over a year once intro rates and credits are counted. The top plan earns the Best match badge, and each card explains why it ranked where it did. The default ranking suits a two-to-three person streaming household.
A plan advertised at $69/month might not cost $69 after six months. Every card on this site shows today's rate, the rate after any intro period ends, and the estimated first-year total including bill credits. Sorting by True cheapest uses that first-year average, so a plan with a short-lived discount can no longer pass itself off as the budget pick.
Each plan carries one of three labels. Price locked means the standard rate is the rate, no expiring promo to worry about. Intro rate then rises means exactly that, with the later price printed next to it. Variable covers plans that are harder to pin down, such as 5G home internet tiers whose speed varies by address. The More filters menu lets you show only locked pricing.
The NBN is sold in standardised tiers: 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 Mbps. Your maximum speed depends on your connection type. FTTP and HFC support the fastest tiers, while FTTN and FTTC are capped at 100 Mbps unless you get a free fibre upgrade. Upload speeds have recently doubled to up to 100 Mbps on premium plans.
If you're on FTTN, FTTB or FTTC, you may qualify for a free upgrade to FTTP, unlocking NBN 250, 500, 750 and 1000 Mbps speeds. Many providers offer this at no cost when you sign up for a qualifying plan. Check your address on the NBN Co or your provider's website to find out what's available.
Australia's NBN retail market is competitive. The big three (Telstra, Optus and TPG, which owns Vodafone) sit alongside aggressive value players like Aussie Broadband, Dodo, Superloop, Tangerine and SpinTel. Most providers are month-to-month with no lock-in, and the cheapest plans cluster around $60 to $90 per month for NBN 50 to 100. NBN 500 plans are often priced the same as NBN 100 on FTTP and HFC connections, making them considerably better value per megabit.
