When you're on the hunt for the speediest NBN plan available, the sheer range of options, providers and contracts can be a tad baffling. Some telcos are offering what should be the same speed for half the price of others, so what's the catch?
We've painstakingly sifted through all the minutiae and detail of the NBN plans on offer and found the fastest plans that also deliver great value. So, if you're looking for an NBN100 plan, you've come to the right place.
Overall best value
Although you'll be needing to bring your own modem along to this plan (or pay $109.95 for the company's offer), this is still exceptional value for an unlimited data, NBN100, no contract NBN plan. Even after you've gotten the first 6 months at a cheaper rate, the increased rate afterwards is still great value.
Total minimum cost is $76.88

While the speed tier that a service uses is indicative of the level of download and upload speeds that can be obtained (i.e. NBN100 should be up to 100Mbps), this will vary with actual usage.
Thankfully, telcos are now required to advertise a "typical evening speed" to give you a better indication of what you'll be facing in reality. For NBN100, we're generally seeing "typical evening speeds" between 75-85Mbps.
