Helping Australians get great internet

Broadband plans in Australia can be confusing — with dozens of providers, countless speed tiers, and contracts full of fine print, it’s hard to know where to start. Compare Broadband was built to fix that. We’re an independent comparison service that puts Australians first, giving you the tools, information, and expert guidance to find the right internet plan at the right price — every time.

What makes us better

🎓🦘 Australian Experts

Our team lives and breathes broadband. Based right here in Australia, we understand the local market, infrastructure quirks, and what Aussie households actually need — from NBN technology types to the fine print on contracts.

🚫 We Are Not a Provider

We are not an internet provider. We work with you to find the right plan for your household, from a range of providers, so you do not make the wrong choice.

🔌 We Help You Connect

When you have selected a plan with our team, we work with you to sign up and get connected. It’s easy.

📅 17 Years Experience and Counting

We’ve been helping Australians compare broadband for over 17 years — long enough to have seen every provider promise and every plan change the industry has offered.

💰 Same Price as Going Direct

Every plan you find through us is priced identically to what you’d pay going direct to the provider. No markups, no tricks — ever.

✅ Free Service

Comparing broadband through us is completely free. We’re paid a referral fee by providers when you sign up — you never pay a cent more.

🔍 Deals Fact-Checked

Every deal on our platform is reviewed and verified by our team. We check speeds, pricing accuracy, and contract terms before anything goes live.

💼 We Do All The Hard Work

We help you find the right plan and stay with you every step of the way until connection. Leave comparing to the experts. It is not easy comparing apples and lemons. Let us help.

Choosing the right broadband plan for you

For selecting the right plan, we let your needs take priority. Enter your address and we’ll find the connection type that suits you.

The key comparison points will be speed, price, data and price discount — and how long it lasts. For example, free for one month is not as competitive as $30 off for 6 months.

Your total cost over 12 and 24 months is a key consideration. If you have any questions about any plan or provider, our friendly team is ready to take your call and help you find the right plan.

⚡ Speed

Match your speed tier to how your household actually uses the internet — streaming, gaming, working from home.

💲 Price

The monthly cost matters, but so does what you get for it. Cheaper isn’t always better value.

📊 Data

Most plans now offer unlimited data, but check for speed shaping or throttling after a usage threshold.

🏷️ Discounts & Total Cost

A big upfront discount can mask a higher ongoing rate. Always compare your 12 and 24-month total spend.

🔌 We Handle Your Connection

Once you’ve chosen your plan, we don’t just wave goodbye. Our team manages your connection order end-to-end — liaising with the provider, tracking your activation, and following up so you’re online as fast as possible.

How we help Australians

💸 Save

The average Australian household overpays for broadband by up to $40 a month. By comparing plans side-by-side and switching to the best deal, our customers save an average of $312 per year — without sacrificing speed or reliability.

🤝 Jobs

We’re proudly Australian-owned and operated, employing over 30 full-time staff with our head office in Melbourne. Every comparison made on our platform supports Australian jobs and keeps expertise local, not offshore.

🔼 Always Improving

We’re always trying to give Australians the best broadband buying experience possible. If we have let you down or think there is something that we can do better, please tell us so we can improve for the future. We’re always improving.

How we work

How we get paid

When you sign up to a plan through us, the provider pays us a referral fee. We don’t add any markup, so you pay the provider’s price for the plan. That fee doesn’t change how we rank plans or which plans our team suggests. We match plans to what you tell us you need.

Who we compare

Most nbn® providers sell similar plans, so rather than list every plan on the market, we keep a panel of at least 10 partner providers. We also include key plans from leading providers we don’t partner with, so you can see how our partners compare with the wider market. That gives us hundreds of plans across speed tiers, connection types and fibre networks.

We can only connect you to plans from our partner providers. We don’t compare plans from every provider, or every plan from the providers we do compare.

How plans are ranked

Enter your address and tell us what you need, and we’ll show you the plans that fit, sorted by price with the cheapest first. If two plans cost the same, we rank them by their minimum total cost and their cost over 12 months.

Sponsored plans

Providers can’t pay for a better position in our results. We don’t run sponsored or featured placements, so every plan is ranked the same way.

How our team finds your plan

When you speak with us, we’ll ask about your address, how many people are in your home and how you use the internet. We then search the plans we compare for options that match, explain the differences, and help you sign up once you’ve chosen. We can also help you compare electricity and gas plans through our sister site, Compare Energy.

We’re also experts in energy
