Fixed-line NBN
Vodafone NBN is flexible fixed-line broadband for households across Australia. Choose your speed and get unlimited data on a month-to-month contract with a 30-day network guarantee. Bring your own NBN-compatible modem, or get a Vodafone 4G backup modem free if you stay 36 months. Moving home is easy: change your address online or over the phone.

Our take. Vodafone is generally cheaper than Telstra, with a wider variety of plans and a handy 30-day network guarantee. It runs its own network, so it is a genuine major player. The trade-off is coverage: Telstra still has a larger, wider network. If you want the lowest price, a challenger like Tangerine or Kogan may be cheaper, so it is worth comparing before you sign up.
Home wireless broadband
Home wireless broadband connects your home over the Vodafone 4G or 5G mobile network, with no technician install: you just plug the modem into a power point. It is a great NBN alternative for a second home, a quick connection or a backup line.

Network
Vodafone is one of three network operators in Australia, alongside Telstra and Optus. Its network serves over 96% of the population with 3G, 4G and 5G connectivity.
Vodafone operates its own 3G, 4G and 5G network reaching over 96% of Australians. 5G is still rolling out, so it is mainly available in major cities for now.
NBN plans can include a free 4G backup modem (after 36 months), keeping you connected during fixed-line disruptions. Reliability still varies by location, so check the Vodafone coverage map for your address.
Under the Mobile Black Spot Program with the Australian government, Vodafone is investing in 75 new mobile towers across NSW, QLD, VIC and TAS to cut black spots and improve regional coverage.
Manage your account
My Vodafone is the free account-management platform for every Vodafone customer, available online or through the My Vodafone app on Android and iOS. Register with your mobile number and account PIN, or via the link in your "Register for My Vodafone" email for NBN customers.
A complete Vodafone network outage is rare, but a dropped connection has many possible causes (a router problem or power cut are just as common). Some customers report dropped or failed calls and black spots. Check the Vodafone network upgrades and outages page on the Vodafone website for known issues in your area.
If your area is clear but you are still offline, contact Vodafone support on 1300 650 410, or 1555 free from a Vodafone mobile.
Common questions
Vodafone offers three main internet types: Vodafone NBN (fixed-line broadband), Vodafone 4G Home Internet (wireless 4G broadband) and 5G home internet (wireless 5G broadband, rolling out in major cities). It also offers SIM-only and prepaid mobile broadband for internet on the go.
Vodafone NBN plans come with unlimited broadband data on a month-to-month basis, a 30-day network guarantee, and no lock-in contract. You can bring your own NBN-compatible modem or get a Vodafone 4G backup modem free if you stay 36 months. Moving home is easy: change your address online or over the phone.
Vodafone generally has cheaper plans and a wider variety than Telstra, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee on certain plans. Where Telstra wins is mobile network coverage: it runs a larger, wider network with a stronger reputation for connectivity. The Telstra vs Vodafone choice ultimately comes down to the specific plan you want.
4G home internet connects your home over the Vodafone 4G network with 200GB or 400GB of full-speed data per month, then continues at 1.5Mbps once your allowance is used. 5G home internet is faster but is still rolling out, so it is mainly available in major cities. Both plug into a power point with no technician install.
My Vodafone is Vodafone's account management platform. You can check data usage, pay bills, recharge prepaid plans, manage your plan and NBN services, and update your details online or via the My Vodafone app on Android and iOS. Register with your mobile number and account PIN, or via the link in your "Register for My Vodafone" email for NBN customers.
A complete Vodafone network outage is rare, but some customers report dropped or failed calls and black spots. Check the Vodafone network upgrades and outages page on the Vodafone website for known issues in your area. If your area is clear but you are still offline, contact Vodafone support.
Vodafone is generally cheaper than Telstra with a wider plan range, but it is not always the cheapest. Compare Vodafone against the major providers and challenger telcos that cover your address to find the plan that fits how you actually use the internet.
