Belong NBN Plans Review

Belong is a small broadband provider wholly owned by Telstra, However, in contrast to Telstra’s often complete internet plan range, Belong is taking the opposite approach, offering a reasonably simple and easy-to-understand selection of plan options on NBN connections. Belong provides NBN plans on monthly contracts, with a focus on affordability and good value for money. But how do Belong’s internet plans stack up against other service providers? Read our Belong NBN review to find out more about what you can expect from an internet plan with Belong.

Belong Features & Bonuses

Belong sheds a lot of the filler and gimmicks and instead just focuses on straightforward broadband. However, the following features and benefits are available with Belong.

• Unlimited Data: All Belong NBN plans feature unlimited monthly gigabytes.
• NBN Speeds: NBN 25, NBN 50 and NBN 100 are available from Belong.
• Technology Types: Belong offers NBN across Fibre to the Premises, Fibre to the Node, Fibre to the Building, Fibre to the Curb and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial connections.

Overall, while there’s not a lot of extra stuff — namely in the way of entertainment — Belong does provide fairly straightforward broadband at a fairly accessible price for many.

Belong NBN Plans

Belong offers NBN plans on several speed tiers. When it comes to choosing your internet package, it’s pretty straightforward, with NBN and mobile broadband options available.

Belong offers an easy-to-understand range of month-to-month NBN plans with the choice between NBN 25, NBN 50 and NBN 100 speed tiers. You’ll also have the option to BYO your own modem or buy a modem from Belong.

Belong is part of Telstra, using its own network; this may provide peace of mind, knowing you could get a Telstra-like connection for a fairly low price. Some of Belong’s plans also include free mobile credit and a Belong mobile SIM card, which include coverage on parts of Telstra’s 5G mobile network.

Coverage is provided by parts of Telstra’s 3G and 4G networks, and all plans are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts.

How does Belong compare to other broadband providers?

Belong is pretty standard as far as plans go, however there are plenty of other NBN providers offering a wider range of plans, or maybe some competitive prices, while some providers might also offer entertainment options. Here is a range of other providers you might want to check out:

• Telstra
• Dodo
• Flip 
• Tangerine
• Vodafone
• Kogan

However, if you’re a discerning customer, there’s more to a plan than just a cheap price. Setup fees, upfront modem costs, contract lengths and other additional add-ons can all make or break a plan, so choose wisely here.

Should I sign up to a Belong NBN plan?

Belong’s commitment-free plans feature no activation fees or lock-in contract, and offer some very competitive pricing across the three available speed tiers. However, customers looking for ultra-fast NBN 250 and 1000, or even basic entry-level NBN 12, will need to go elsewhere as Belong currently doesn’t offer these speed tiers.

Having said that, Belong won Canstar Blue’s 2020 Outstanding Value Award for NBN winner, and is consistently highly-rated in our annual NBN providers review. Customers seem happy with Belong’s simple, no-frills approach to NBN, so, if you like what you’ve seen from our Belong broadband review, this telco may be worth keeping in mind if you’re shopping around for a new internet provider.
