Earn 1 Qantas Frequent Flyer point for every $2 you spend on Kogan's NBN plans.
Cheap modem if you need one.

Watch out for:

No online account management. You'll need to call Kogan if you need anything.

We decided to go with the NBN 50 speed tier for our everyday use category as it's the most popular speed tier in Australia according to the ACCC.

From there, we looked at plans with no lock-in contract and unlimited data, then calculated the total cost of each plan over the first 12 months. We compared each plan's total cost against the typical evening speed and selected the top value NBN 50 plan from Finder partners.

Top pick: Best NBN plan under $50

Heaps of customer support options including email, phone, live chat and WhatsApp.

Watch out for:

Speed is suitable for a smaller household of 1–2 light internet users. We recommend a faster plan for bigger households.

$70
per month for 6 months

Get this plan for $70/month for the first 6 months, then $$85 after. Eligibility criteria, T&Cs apply. Ends 30.9.23

Modem: BYO modem or purchase from Dodo for $49.50 (until July 31)
Total cost over 12 months (excluding modem): $930

What we like about Dodo:

Bundle with Dodo energy to get an additional $10 off your NBN plan each month.
Half price modem to purchase if you sign up before July 31.

Watch out for:

Not the fastest speed available - Dodo's plan comes with a typical evening speed which is a little less than the maximum available on the speed tier (100Mbps)

NBN 100 is an excellent option for larger households where 3 to 4 people want to be online simultaneously and avoid buffering internet. We used this speed tier to select the best NBN plan for fast speeds.

We looked at NBN 100 plans in our database and narrowed down the list to find the best value plan from Finder partners based on the following criteria:

No lock-in contract
Unlimited data
Lowest cost over the first 12 months
Typical evening speed

Top pick: Best NBN plan with Superfast speeds

Go to site

Additional plan information:

Set-up fee: $0
Upload speed: 21Mbps
Modem: BYO modem or buy one from AGL for $149
Total cost over 12 months (excluding modem): $1488

What we like about AGL:

Already with AGL for energy? Get discounted pricing if you're already an AGL customer - AGL customers get this plan for $89 a month for the first 12 months, then $109 after.
Get the maximum speed available on this speed tier.
Option to tack on home phone calls for an additional $10 a month.

Watch out for:

While AGL is certified carbon neutral by Climate Active, this is done through the purchase of carbon credits rather than reducing their carbon footprint.

To find out which providers to consider for having the best NBN plan with extra perks and features, we narrowed our list from 53 providers to the 6 that offer an extra deal or feature.

This includes features such as the following:

Entertainment packages such as Fetch or Foxtel
Streaming subscriptions

We then looked at plan value based on typical evening speed and cost over the first 12 months. The best ranked plan from our Finder partners was the winner.

How do you find the best NBN plan?

Everyone's needs are different so consider the following when looking for the best NBN plan for your household:

What NBN speed are you after?
The size of your household and what you're doing on the internet will determine which speed is appropriate for you. While most Australians are on an NBN 50 plan, an NBN 100 plan could be better for you if the majority of your household works from home. In fact, Finder's Consumer Sentiment Tracker found that more Australians are satisfied with an NBN 100 plan compared to any other NBN speed tier.

Are you after a basic NBN plan or one with extra features?
Having extra perks tacked onto your plan can be nice, but consider whether you'll actually make use of these or if you're happy with just a simple plug and play NBN plan.

Do you need to buy a new modem?
If you already own a modem and are comfortable transferring it across to a new provider, it's a great way to keep your initial costs low. Otherwise, all providers offer a modem to purchase with your NBN plan. Just make sure you factor this cost in when you're signing up to your new plan.

Expert tip: Set yourself a reminder to compare NBN plans at the same time each year. Almost all NBN providers offer some sort of promotional discount for the first 6 months, which means you could be missing out on savings by sticking with the same provider for more than a year.

Methodology: How we researched the best NBN plans

We looked at residential NBN plans in our database and opted for fixed-line technologies as they're widely available across each state.
Other selection criteria to narrow down our list of top picks included looking at NBN plans that offer unlimited data and no lock-in contract.
We worked out plan costs over the first 12 months then picked out the top 3 plans for each category, balancing the cost of each plan with its typical evening speed to ensure you're being offered the best bang for your buck.

For plans to be eligible in our analysis, they needed to meet the following criteria:

Have an active NBN plan and deal available at the time of writing.
The duration of the deal lasts for a minimum of 4 weeks.
The NBN provider is an active partner on Finder.

To select the overall winner, our experts looked into the extra plan details of the top 3 finalists. This includes any associated modem costs, special features like satisfaction guarantees or entertainment bundles and performance in the quarterly ACCC Broadband Performance Reports if relevant.
