VPNs for ad-blocking To put that into context, the cheapest Telstra NBN plan you can buy costs $80 per month for Basic II (maximum 25Mbps) download speeds with unlimited monthly data and, admittedly, fantastic 25Mbps typical evening download speeds. It’s a similar story with Telstra’s NBN Standard (maximum 50Mbps download) plan, which costs $95 a month. At its cheapest, you can find NBN Standard for around $55 at promotional pricing, and about $65 outside of promotional deals. What you’re really paying for with Telstra, though, is fantastic speeds. Instead of having to give disclaimers about how the internet’s busy period (between 7pm and 11pm nightly) impacts download speeds, Telstra provides enough bandwidth to ensure that your download speeds at any time of the day are aligned with your speed tier. This means NBN 25 has 25Mbps download speeds with Telstra, and that’s also true for NBN 50 and NBN 100. Telstra’s NBN Superfast plan (maximum 250Mbps download) has now peaked at 250Mbps typical evening speeds. Meanwhile, Telstra’s Ultrafast NBN 1000 plan has been pulled off the market, so Superfast is the fastest you’ll get from Telstra. See Telstra’s full range of NBN plans below. Sign up online to dodge the usual $99 connection fee, and Telstra will also bundle bonus Apple TV+ and Binge deals at the time of writing. Below you’ll see a list of providers, including Telstra, that offer pay-TV bundles. In terms of customer satisfaction, user-generated review sites such as Trustpilot and Product Review both have below-two-star averages from customer ratings. Google reviews fare better, at closer to four stars, but the overall average is still quite low. Aussie Broadband, Internode, Mate and Tangerine are the four big provider names to beat when it comes to customer satisfaction scores on these types of review sites, all of which enjoy averages above four stars. Find the Telstra NBN plan you like from the list below, then click on the corresponding ‘Go’ button. From here, enter your address to see which Telstra NBN plans and bundles are available to you. If necessary, create a Telstra account, then select whether you’d like to self-install your Telstra Smart Modem or whether you’d prefer a professional installation ($240 one-off fee). Add your entertainment bolt-ons or other extras, then keep following the prompts to complete sign-up. Telstra NBN customers needn’t worry though, as the Telstra technician who knocks on the door will come with a Telstra Smart Modem in hand (if you don’t opt for self-installation). This modem has all of the features we expect to see in a modern modem-router: 4x4 Wi-Fi 802.11ac, four gigabit Ethernet ports, a USB 3.0 port, etc. But what makes the Telstra Smart Modem stand out from the pack is the SIM card inside it. Whenever you can’t connect to the NBN, either before you are connected or during outages, the modem falls back on a 4G mobile connection. It isn’t designed to be super fast (6Mbps download speeds) but it is enough to keep you online. Currently, Telstra is running a number of deals on its NBN plans. Here’s what’s on offer and which plans are eligible:
