Compare Uncapped Data & Unlimited Broadband Plans

We’re using our home internet more than ever before. Between working from home, virtual learning, online gaming, streaming, and video chatting, it’s easy to use up tons of data without meaning to. If you’re on a capped data home broadband plan, and find yourself eating up your data before the month is through, it might be time to switch to an unlimited broadband plan. With unlimited internet you never need to worry about getting hit with an excess usage charge, dreaded reduced speeds, or cut service. If you want to learn more about what unlimited home internet plans are available in Australia, continue reading below.

Compare unlimited NBN plans

The National Broadband Network is essentially rolled out across the country and, even now, the technology is continuing to improve.

With improved NBN connections and services, Australians are not only getting faster internet speeds but also cheaper unlimited NBN plans. Unlimited NBN is now the norm, with few providers offering data-capped plans. If you want to compare what unlimited broadband plans the NBN has to offer, continue reading below.

Compare unlimited NBN 12 (NBN Basic)

NBN 12 is the most basic NBN speed tier, only achieving maximum download speeds of 12Mbps, and these days very few ISPs even offer it. NBN12 is also the cheapest NBN speed tier, and best for someone who lives alone and doesn’t use the internet for much more than browsing social media or occasionally checking emails. Below, you can find a comparison of NBN12 plans with unlimited data.

Compare unlimited NBN 25 (NBN Standard)

NBN25 is a step up from the basic NBN12 and the old ADSL connections, with maximum speeds of 25Mbps. For 1-2 people households, this is suitable for connecting a few devices to your home broadband, some video streaming, and basic social media browsing. If you're looking for an unlimited NBN25 plan, you can find a selection to compare below.

Compare unlimited NBN 50

NBN50 is the first big jump from the old ADSL and ADSL2+ broadband connections, with maximum speeds of 50Mbps. NBN50 is suitable for most households of 3-4 people who use the internet regularly for HD videos, browsing the web, and online gaming. At this speed, all NBN50 plans come with unlimited data and you can find a comparison of NBN50 plans below.

Compare unlimited NBN 100

NBN100 is the fastest standard connection speed available on the National Broadband Network with speeds reaching 100Mbps. At this speed, households of 4 or more people can stream, game, and video chat in HD quality, and download and upload large files in a few minutes. All NBN100 plans come with unlimited data, and if you want to compare unlimited NBN100 plans you can find a selection of them below.

Compare unlimited NBN Superfast

NBN250, or NBN Superfast is one of the newest and fastest NBN speed tiers available in Australia. NBN Superfast is currently only available for certain connections (Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial and Fibre-to-the-Premises), but if you have one of these connections you could potentially reach download speeds of 250Mbps. NBN Superfast is best for households with multiple heavy internet users such as people with intense work from home demands, remote learning, and heavy online gamers and streamers. If you’re interested in comparing NBN250 plans, you can find a selection with unlimited data below.

Compare unlimited NBN Ultrafast

NBN Ultrafast, or NBN1000, comes with a massive 1000Mbps maximum download speed and can keep up with almost any residential broadband demands, though at a steeper price than standard NBN plans. If you live in a household with multiple people working from home and video conferencing every day, professional online gamers, and Ultra HD/4K streamers, and want an unlimited NBN plan that can keep up, you can find a comparison of unlimited NBN Ultrafast plans below.

Compare unlimited home wireless broadband

If you’re looking for an alternative to the NBN, you’ve probably considered home wireless broadband. Rather than connect the devices in your home to a fixed-wired network like the NBN, it connects your home to the mobile broadband network.

4G home wireless broadband is available wherever you can connect to the 4G mobile network, but these plans usually don’t come with unlimited data. However, if you live in one of the major cities where the 5G mobile network has rolled out, 5G home wireless broadband not only comes with speeds comparable to the NBN but with unlimited data as well. Currently only the Optus 5G mobile network offers 5G home wireless broadband and you can purchase an unlimited 5G home wireless broadband plan through Optus, or SpinTel on the Optus network, which you can compare below.

Compare unlimited broadband: Unlimited ADSL plans

With the NBN rolled out across most of the country, fewer and fewer ISPs continue to offer ADSL and while they may continue to provide ADSL2+ plans they’re often only available to existing customers, not new customers.

If you’re still waiting for the NBN to be switched on at your address, there are a limited selection of providers who still offer ADSL:

• Telstra: Unlimited ADSL plans start at $90 per month with modem and phone line included
• Dodo: NBN-ready unlimited ADSL plans start at $30 per month for a 12-month plan

How to choose an unlimited broadband plan

No matter what type of unlimited broadband plan you choose, there are some things you need to consider before signing up, and it’s always a good idea to check the fine print beforehand. When comparing home internet plans, you need to think about:

 Cost: The cheapest broadband plan isn’t always the best plan, particularly when it comes to the NBN. Cheap NBN plans often come with slower speeds, which might not be suitable for your home’s broadband needs, and paying a little extra for a higher speed tier can prevent frustration when you try to connect multiple devices at once. It’s also important to consider the upfront costs you might need to pay when signing up for a new unlimited broadband plan. If you don’t have the correct modem, for example, this can add up to an additional $150 or more upfront. Likewise, many providers offer deals or discounts which can save you a bit more for the first few months of your plan. 

 Contract: Plenty of ISPs offer flexible no contract broadband plans, but these might come with other fees that might otherwise be waived if you sign up for a 12-month contract or longer. Even if a broadband provider offers a free modem and month-to-month contract, you might need to pay the rest of it back if you cancel your service before a period of time.

 Bundles: Many ISPs offer discounted bundled broadband plans, that might include a discount if you bundle home broadband and energy, home broadband and a mobile plan, or home broadband with an entertainment package. If you’re in the market for multiple services, it might be worth it to consider combining them all under one provider.
