About Aussie Broadband NBN plans

If you’re searching for a fast, flexible broadband plan, challenger NBN provider Aussie Broadband may be worth a look. Australian-owned and operated, and with a solid reputation for great value and service, Aussie Broadband has been around since 2008, with a call centre and headquarters in Morwell, plus other offices in Warnambool, Victoria. With a focus on supporting local jobs and services, Aussie Broadband has made a name for itself in its 10+ years of operation, taking on the big guys and winning a host of industry awards for its quality plans and products.

Aussie Broadband is a comprehensive telco provider, offering a range of NBN and mobile broadband plans. It’s also built a reputation for impressively fast NBN speeds, especially during peak traffic times. This provider offers set NBN plans across NBN 12, NBN 25, NBN 50, NBN 100, NBN 250 and NBN 1000 speeds, including options with extra-fast upload speeds.

Aussie Broadband benefits from having plans with no contracts, reasonably priced NBN speed tier jumps and a seven-day-a-week local call centre.  In addition to NBN, Aussie Broadband offers a range of add-ons and extras, including home phone and hardware.

  • Home phone: Unlimited local, national and mobile calling can be added to your plan from $10 extra per month.
  • Modems: You’re free to bring your own compatible modem to all Aussie Broadband plans, but pre-configured NBN modems are available to buy with prices starting at $180 upfront.
  • Seniors plans: Aussie Broadband offers simple, home-phone-only or phone-plus-internet NBN plans for seniors and pensioners.

About Aussie Broadband OptiComm plans

Looking for fast-speed fibre internet but without signing up to the NBN? OptiComm is a similar network to the NBN but operates in select areas, often housing estates, with a number of service providers offering plans on this network. Aussie Broadband’s OptiComm internet plans are very similar to its NBN plans with the same speeds and prices available, all on month-to-month plans. You can also build your own OptiComm plan from a range of speed options and data inclusions.

About Aussie Broadband mobile broadband plans

If you desire a no-fuss broadband plan without the wires, Aussie Broadband provides 5G and 4G mobile coverage through the Telstra network. Plug your SIM card into a dongle, pocket Wi-Fi device or tablet, and enjoy fast, reliable mobile broadband on the go.

Aussie Broadband currently offers four mobile broadband options. All plans are contract-free, and there’s no charge for your SIM card. Keep in mind that excess data charges will apply if you go over your allocated monthly gigabytes.

Other telcos that offer unlimited data, entertainment and home phone call packs include:

Aussie Broadband benefits from having plans with no contracts, reasonably priced NBN speed tier jumps and a seven-day-a-week local call centre. However, there are lots of other NBN providers out there offering good value in their own right, often marginally cheaper (and we are talking about small margins when it comes to price).

But the question is: do you want a cheap NBN plan, or one that offers great value? Sometimes the cheapest NBN plans around sacrifice either data or performance, so keep this in mind — Aussie Broadband’s consistently high-rated speeds, plus overwhelmingly positive customer feedback, may be enough to justify paying a little more each month.

Operating out of regional Victoria, Aussie Broadband has grown to become one of the biggest challenger telcos across the country. While its big selling point was originally around speed reliability and performance, the telco has also now earned a glowing reputation for customer service at affordable prices.

Ultimately, you may find cheaper NBN prices with other telcos. But if we have learned anything from the NBN over recent years, it’s that you generally get what you pay for. You’ll probably understand the value of paying a little extra, especially if you also appreciate Aussie Broadband’s range of plan add-ons and options, commitment to Aussie-based customer service, and simple, no lock-in plan structure. With no set-up or exit fees on month-to-month plans, no data overage charges, and the option to bring your own modem, the company’s NBN plans are flexible and bill-shock free.

Overall, Aussie Broadband has plenty to offer NBN and mobile broadband customers, and the once tiny telco has become a serious threat to the larger internet providers.

The NBN plan that’s right for you will depend on the size of your household, how you use your internet, your budget, and the type of connection available at your home. Ideally, you’ll want a plan that delivers the speeds you need for the lowest monthly price.

Aussie Broadband’s cheapest standard NBN plan is its Basic option, which includes unlimited data and Home Basic/ NBN 12 speeds. As of September 2024, this plan is priced at $69 per month.

If this is the first time NBN has been connected at your address, it’s likely that an NBN technician will be required to install and activate your service. Aussie Broadband will advise you at sign-up if this applies to your home, and arrange a time for your installation to be completed.

In 2024, Australians gave Aussie Broadband 5 out of 5 stars for Overall Customer Satisfaction in NBN plans.
