Telstra is the largest NBN provider in Australia, with just over 3.2 million active connections of a total of just over 8.8 million users connected to the fixed-line NBN at the time of writing. The nation's telecommunications flag bearer is slowly losing ground to smaller providers though, and considering the vast majority of other NBN providers charge less than Telstra for what is, on paper, a similar service, it's easy to see why.
However, despite the price reduction, we do still find it hard to recommend Telstra for anyone looking for a new NBN plan. There was a time that the telco would throw in some extra perks, such as free subscriptions to services including Spotify and Binge, but these have now seemingly been dropped.
Still, if you think Telstra could be the right provider for you, we’ve laid out the best Telstra NBN plans below, or you can read our in-depth Telstra NBN review if you want a complete breakdown.

Telstra NBN FAQ
How much does Telstra NBN cost?
At their standard prices, the options you have to choose from in Telstra’s NBN range includes: NBN 25 for AU$85 a month, NBN 50 for AU$95 a month, NBN 100 for AU$99 a month, NBN 500 for AU$99 a month, NBN 750 for AU$119 a month and NBN 1000 for AU$129.
Can I get Telstra NBN?
Yes, but not all NBN connection types will have access to Telstra’s higher speed tiers. To find out what connection type is available at your address, you can simply check your address on Telstra’s website. Doing this will also tell you the maximum speeds available at your location, and you may find that Telstra restricts what NBN plan you can sign up to based on your address.
This is a good thing, because it means you won’t be paying for a service that can’t be delivered to your home. This feature was introduced after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) took Telstra, Optus and TPG to the Federal Court, after it found that each telco had made false statements to customers regarding how fast their NBN plans were capable of reaching.
It’s worth noting that Telstra’s NBN 500, NBN 750 and NBN 1000 options are only available to those with a FTTP or a HFC connection. You can read more about each connection type here.
What perks come with Telstra NBN?
Other than reliability, what kind of perks can you expect with Telstra NBN? Well, all plans come with the Telstra Smart Modem 4, which is enabled with Wi-Fi 7 and 4G backup, so you can connect to the internet through the telco’s mobile network if there’s an NBN outage.
You’ll also earn Telstra Plus points to redeem on a broad range of tech at its Rewards Store, which includes things like movie and sports tickets and pre-sale access to select concerts.
