SpinTel 5G Wireless Broadband Plans
Spintel is also one of the few providers in Australia that offers 5G home internet. With two plans available, each offering unlimited data, Spintel’s 5G internet offering is easy to understand:
- 5G unlimited data (speed-capped at 100Mbps)
- 5G unlimited data (no speed-cap)
In order to get Spintel’s 5G home internet plan, you’ll need to use Spintel’s provided modem, the Nokia FastMile 5G (includes a postage fee). The modem remains the property of Spintel over the duration of your plan, and if you leave the plan, you’ll need to return it to Spintel in good working order. On the upside, you won’t spend a monthly fee on the modem, and will only pay for the monthly cost of the plan.

SpinTel has garnered a reputation as a premier bargain provider in Australia, and for good reason. Its NBN plans are among the cheapest products currently available, but it’s definitely worth comparing around to find the right deal for your needs. Consider the below providers:
Overall, SpinTel keeps things simple by not offering unnecessary extras unless you want them, however it’s always worth shopping around.

Should I choose an internet plan with SpinTel?
SpinTel is one of the cheaper providers offering NBN and mobile broadband. However, there is more than meets the eye with SpinTel. The fact that SpinTel claims X price, before going on to tell you the price is actually Y is a little disappointing, but overall the prices are fairly reasonable.
Nevertheless, SpinTel is not alone in this regard, and its plans are seldom beaten on price alone. It definitely pays to do your research and find a good NBN plan for your household.
