Tomi NBN Coverage
Tomi NBN has the same coverage as every other NBN provider, which is only restricted by your home’s access to the NBN network. 93% of the network is made up of fibre connections, with the rest of the network covered by fixed wireless or satellite coverage.
Tomi Broadband Features & Bonuses
Tomi’s approach to the NBN is to provide the most customer-friendly service as possible, and as such has a wide variety of flexible options.
Tomi offers a service called “Pause Time”, which might satisfy you if you do lots of travelling. If you’re away from home, you can pause your service from Tomi without any billing – you just turn it off and on in the account settings. You can pause for up to 28 days in a 12-month period, but you’ll need to have had a connection for three months or more before you can use this feature.
Aside from this, there are some other highlights to Tomi’s NBN offerings:
- Modem: Customers on a 24-month contract will get their hardware included free. You can also bring your own modem to any Tomi plan.
- Setup Fees: There are no setup fees on the 12 month contract, however there is on the contract-free plan.
Tomi’s NBN plans are simple and straight-forward: there’s no obligation to sign up for the 24-month plan besides the free modem, and contract-free customers can leave at any time. This could be really good for someone who wants a no-nonsense plan with some decent pricing.

How does Tomi NBN compare to other providers?
Tomi Broadband is a value-focused NBN provider to keep an eye on in the Australian ISP game, but there are plenty of other providers out there worth considering. Some that rival Tomi are:
These telcos tend to stay away from bundling your plan with extras, and just focus on providing a straightforward internet service. Make sure you shop around for the best one to fit your needs, and keep price, contract lengths and setup fees in mind.
Is Tomi NBN good value for money?
Tomi does offer some great value, with decent speeds and the option to pause your plan for 4 weeks out of the year. It also offers 24/7 customer service, including live chat however there is a connection fee on non-contract plans so it is worth keeping that in mind. It is always best to shop around before you commit.
