VPNs for ad-blocking While Fixed Wireless NBN and Sky Muster NBN homes can’t currently access up to 100Mbps download speeds, most fixed-line homes in populous parts of Australia can sign up for an NBN 100 plan. Speeds above that, such as NBN 250 and NBN 1000, are reserved for select FTTP (Fibre-to-the-Premises) and HFC (Hybrid-Fiber Coaxial) homes. There’s plenty of competition on price got NBN 100 plans too, with initial pricing that can be cheaper than some NBN 50 plans. For instance, at the time of writing, the cheapest NBN 100 plan in our comparison engine was under $65 with promotional pricing. Typical monthly pricing, though, starts at around $80 a month. More expensive NBN 100 plans may not offer promotional pricing and can cost $100+ per month. We advise factoring in initial and ongoing pricing when choosing an NBN 100 plan. You can also save money by shifting NBN providers every six months to take advantage of promotional pricing. You can see popular NBN 100/20 plans below. We track multiple NBN providers in our database that sell 100/40 plans. Prices start at around $80 for promotional pricing and start at around $95 for typical monthly pricing. Check out popular NBN 100/40 plans below. NBN Co hasn’t updated its speed expectations beyond the 60Mbps minimum, but all NBN providers we track in our comparison engine offer faster speeds than this. The slowest is Mate with 83Mbps typical evening download speeds, while NBN providers like Spintel, Exetel, Optus and Telstra offer 100Mbps download speeds, including during the busy nightly period. Upload speeds are trickier to track, but the ACCC releases quarterly data on the average NBN upload speeds for a dozen NBN providers. Using 2022 data, upload speeds may be as slow as 16.62Mbps for iiNet users and as fast as 17.74Mbps from Exetel (with an NBN 100/20 plan). That’s not a huge difference between the slowest and fastest average upload speeds for an NBN 100/20 plan.

The only disclaimer there is that some FTTN homes are ineligible for NBN 100 plans, but this is determined at sign-up. Similarly, while FTTP and HFC homes have a better chance of reaching close to full advertised download speeds, FTTC, FTTB and eligible FTTN homes may have top speeds that are below what a provider advertises. Check with a provider at sign-up to confirm expected speeds. That makes an NBN 100 plan a great choice for people seeking faster download speeds or homes that like to stream to multiple devices in 4K. NBN Co recommends NBN 100 connections for five or more people. Here’s a look at popular NBN 250 plans today.
