There is no one formula to find the best internet deal. But to ensure you make the right choice, you should look into the following: data, price, and speed. If your household only consists of two light internet users, then you should look into broadband deals on the basic speed tier. But for bigger households with more than four devices connected, or are heavy users, find plans on a higher speed tier and with unlimited data.

Now, should you go with contract-free or with-contract? It all depends on you! No contract plans are great especially if you’re just switching to NBN. But do note that while month-to-month internet plans may provide you with flexibility, it may not include perks that you usually get with a locked-in contract. For example, setup fees may be higher with no-contract plans and the modem doesn’t come for free. On the other hand, contract internet plans charge you additional fees if you discontinue their service and switch to a different provider.

If you're after an NBN plan in Victoria, there are plenty of options. However, it can be hard to know where to start with many different providers and plans.

We've created a table below to list down the best NBN deals in Victoria, so you can compare what's on offer and find the perfect plan for your needs.

NBN Co is responsible for building and maintaining the National Broadband Network (NBN), and there are several different ways to connect to it. The most common connection types are Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), Fibre to the Node (FTTN), Fibre to the Building (FTTB), and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC).

The type of connection you have will determine the maximum speed you can get and the technology used. For example, FTTN uses copper phone lines while FTTP uses fibre optic cables.

If you're not sure what type of connection you have, you can check your address on the NBN Co website or call us at Compare Broadband. Once you know what type of connection you have, you can start looking at different plans and providers. Several big-name providers offer NBN plans in Victoria, including Optus, Aussie Broadband, Dodo, Superloop, Harbour ISP, Belong, and Telstra.

Keep in mind a few things when comparing NBN plans. First, think about what speed you need. If you only connect online for basic tasks like browsing the web and checking email, a lower speed tier like 12Mbps should be fine.

But if you're a heavy user who likes to stream movies or download large files, you'll need a faster speed like NBN50 or NBN100.

While NBN does promise faster internet speeds, several factors can still affect your speed which is probably why you’re still experiencing a slower connection. And with so many offers on the table, it’s easy for Victorians to feel confused on deciding which NBN speed tier they should go with.

Below is a guide on the minimum typical evening speed per each speed tier.

Before deciding on an NBN plan, you need to understand which speed tier can accommodate your online activities and the number of devices connected. Check out the following NBN speed tiers and find out which one can cater to your internet activities. But please note, the availability still depends on the connection type existing in your location.

Having little budget on internet plans shouldn’t stop you from getting a fast and reliable broadband connection. If you’re looking to save on your monthly budget or is simply moving to Victoria for a quick business trip, you’ll be happy to know that Victoria has some of the cheapest internet plans.

	Internet Plans	Cheapest Plan
	Dodo Unlimited Standard NBN Plan	$50/Month	See Dodo Internet Plans
	Uniti Wireless NBN25 Plan	$69.95/Month	See Uniti Wireless Internet Plans
	Belong Standard Plus broadband plan on the NBN™	$70/Month	See Belong Internet Plans

The best value internet plans are not always the cheapest plans. Going for the lowest costing internet deal may provide you with slower speed or very limited bandwidth. If you want to get more bang for your buck, try to understand how you’ve been using the internet for the last few months before finding a new one. Check your previous bill on data consumption, how many devices were connected during that period, and what online activities you’re engaged with.

5G is here! As of writing, around 150 suburbs in Melbourne and 90 regional suburbs across Albury-Wodonga, Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Horsham, Mildura and Warrnambool now enjoy more than 50 per cent coverage from Telstra 5G. If you’re not near any 5G coverage yet, don’t worry, you likely soon will be!

With a maximum download speed of 20Gbps, it’s definitely an upgrade from its predecessor and promises lesser latency issues. The exact speeds of an individual user will depend on how the network has been configured, the number of devices connected, and the device in their hands. The 5G specification states that individual users should see a minimum download speed of 100Mbps. That's the fastest NBN speed as a minimum.

While 5G networks possess speeds that can compete with wired broadband, there are several reasons why 5G won’t replace fibre and copper cables just yet. When it comes to connecting desktops or laptops to a network, there may be several factors to consider like device compatibility, security, and service coverage and flexibility. Therefore, if a wired connection is available in your area, better take advantage of it and use a 5G connection when you need it.
