Compare Broadband cannot guarantee that all plans or providers shown will be available at your property address. Connection and plan availability will need to be confirmed by the internet service provider. Additional charges may apply for non-standard connections. Like to know more? Take a look at how we work.

Are you moving to a new place or considering renting? Perhaps you're thinking of adjusting your plan due to your current connection not meeting your needs. In such cases, changing your NBN provider could help you find a better connection.

Switching NBN providers when moving to a new place

When moving to a new area, you might need a different Internet service provider (ISP) to connect you. Your current NBN provider might not offer plans in the city you're moving to, or it may not cover the property at all.

Once you've found the right plan, follow the standard switching process by contacting your new provider and providing your new address. The new provider will handle the rest, including transferring your phone number and confirming NBN serviceability at your new address.

Things to consider when switching NBN providers

Now that you know how to switch providers, here are a few things to keep in mind before making the switch:

Check the contract term

Before making any changes, carefully review the contract terms of the Internet plan offered by a new provider. Avoid unexpected disconnection fees by understanding the terms before ending a contract abruptly. 

Opting for a plan without a contract provides flexibility, allowing you to leave whenever you feel the need to do so.

Upgrading or downgrading an Internet plan

Most telecom companies allow customers to shift to a different speed tier without cancelling their current contract and signing up for a new one. This is beneficial if you want to change your speed without changing providers. 

Keep in mind that downgrading your NBN plan might have penalties, so it's wise to check with your current provider before deciding.

NBN bundle deals

When you're searching for a new broadband provider, it's worth exploring options that provide an NBN bundle deal

Typically, these deals come with a discounted monthly bill and may include additional services like home phone line rental and Fetch TV. Opting for a bundle deal can maximise the benefits of your NBN connection, so be sure to see if your preferred telecom company offers such packages.

How long does it take to switch NBN providers?

Switching to a new NBN provider usually takes 24-48 hours on business days to ensure a smooth transition without disruptions to your current service. In some cases, you may even be able to make a change on the same day. 

Once you've chosen a new provider, reach out to them to request the migration process. The new provider will inform your current one and set a migration date.

On the migration day, a technician from the new provider will visit your home to complete the process and test your connection for proper functionality. Once done, you should be ready to enjoy your new NBN connection without any issues.

Whether you're moving, renting, or adjusting your plan, consider your speed and data needs. Check the plan's contract terms and cost to ensure you get the best Internet plan for your requirements.
