Compare Internet Plans & Providers in Esperance WA 6450

Found on the southern coast of Western Australia and about 434 miles southeast of state capital Perth, Esperance’s main industries are fishing, agriculture, and tourism.This town has a Mediterranean climate - that means warm, dry summers and mild but wet winters - so it’s perfect for those used to such a climate or else looking for a change from extremely cold winters.

It’s famous for its numerous beaches where residents and visitors alike can enjoy swimming, surfing, and scuba diving. It has a number of salt lakes as well, for those who want to enjoy salt water without being exposed to the open ocean. There are five major national parks nearby, including Cape Le Grand National Park, which is a popular location for hikers, four-wheel drive enthusiasts and recreational fishermen.

If you’re looking for something besides nature, try the food made with local produce in various tearooms and restaurants, or taste local brews courtesy of Lucky Bay Brewing. As for travel, Esperance is connected to public transport to Perth, Kalgoorlie, and Albany via Transwa coach services GE1 to GE4, and both the Coolgardie-Esperance Highway and South Coast Highway lead to this town. For those who don’t feel like being on the road, Regional Express Airlines has daily flights to and from Perth leaving from Esperance’s airport.

For all the scenery and outdoor activities available, Esperance is still a town where internet connection is a necessity. As said earlier, the NBN rollout has been completed for some time now, and it’s available in many areas of Esperance. There are a number of providers that service this seaside town, and depending on the internet connection types, the plans you’ll be choosing from will come with speeds ranging from 12Mbps to 100Mbps.

As mentioned earlier, there are several internet service providers (ISPs) available in Esperance. Far and away, though, the ones that stand out are Belong, Dodo, Uniti Wireless, Optus, Aussie Broadband, and Tangerine. Each of these providers have month-to-month plans, which means you can switch providers or change your plan the next month if your current one doesn’t seem to work for you. Take note, though, that Optus’s month-to-month plan is available only at a higher speed tier.

Also, each of these providers offer discounts and promotions in some form, such as a discount for the first six months of service, a free modem, or a very low modem setup or installation fee. So once you’ve narrowed down your choices of month-to-month plan, it’s just a matter of choosing which one you feel you can get the most value from.

If you don’t feel like switching plans or providers every few months, or else you just prefer to stick with a single provider in the long run, Uniti Wireless has a 24-month contract option. This comes at virtually no extra cost compared to the contractless version of their internet plans. 

As with many other things in life, each ISP has its pros and cons. Belong, for example, is renter friendly with no set-up costs, and the option to pay in installments. However, if you need support, theirs is online only, and you can pay only through direct debit. Dodo, on the other hand, offers phone support, and you have the option to bundle your internet with electricity and gas. The downsides are, as with Belong, you can pay only through direct debit, and their network support is offshore rather than in Australia. 

If you already have a modem that’s compatible with the NBN, Uniti Wireless and TPG both allow customers to bring their own modems, and both offer phone support. Uniti Wireless provides a better mesh modem and is a good choice for homeowners overall. The drawbacks include having to stay with the ISP longer if you want to get a discount, and the modem isn’t always free when you go for a month-to-month plan (unless you brought your own). With TPG, the downside is you’ll need to pay $10 to have a modem delivered, and if you’re looking for a home phone too, there’s a $20 prepayment.

Choosing a plan with well-known provider Optus means access to auxiliary products related to mobile phones and security and Optus Sport, among other things. A VoIP phone is also included. However, Optus’s plans are noticeably a bit more expensive compared to those of other providers. On top of that, as mentioned earlier, at the lower speed tier, you’ll have no choice but to sign up for a 24-month contract. 

With Tangerine, not only do you get phone support, but you get a discount during your first six months, and they have VoIP phone plans available. The downside, though, is that the modem costs $149.95 if you don’t already have your own.

If you want to make the most of your internet connection and find the balance between affordability, speed, and reliability, then a plan with speeds of either 50Mbps or 100Mbps would be your best bet. All the providers mentioned earlier offer plans at both those speeds. Looking at just the costs, plans with speeds of up to 50Mbps range from $69.95 to $79.95 per month. Meanwhile, plans with speeds of up to 100Mbps can cost anywhere from $79.99 to $99 a month.

Given how many ISPs service this town in Western Australia, it’s no surprise that you’ll get a range of speeds as well. As mentioned earlier, NBN speeds range from 12Mbps to 100Mbps, with 25Mbps and 50Mbps being the midway points, so to speak. 

A plan at the basic speed tier - that is, with speeds of up to 12Mbps - is good for a single-person household where you don’t need the internet for much besides light online activity. 25Mbps is good for small households of up to three people, where none of the members are heavy online users. If your household has at least three people and at least one who plays online games regularly or is fond of high-definition streaming, then it’s best that you consider plans in higher speed tiers, starting from 50Mbps.  

If you’re not sure an NBN connection is for you, 5G connections are available, too, although only a few providers offer it. These providers are Uniti Wireless, Optus, and TPG. Tangerine has a home wireless plan, too, but only a 4G one; the other three ISPs offer both 4G and 5G connections. All of them have month-to-month contracts, except for Uniti Wireless, where a 24-month contract is the only available option if you want a 5G connection. Meanwhile, Optus offers a month-to-month option as well as a 24-month one.
