Choosing the Best NBN Plans for You and Your Work

The National Broadband Network is touted to be the fastest broadband in Australia today. Upon receiving the notice for your new NBN connection, you’ll be given an allowance of eighteen months before your current Internet service is turned off. Eighteen months is still a long way to go. You still have plenty of time to go shopping for a new provider and plan that suits you best.

Fast forward . . . congratulations for finally being connected! Well, are you ready for it? How would you know what the right NBN plans are for you and your work? 

When choosing a new ISP or plan, you need to know what to expect since your decision could make or break your new Internet experience. To assure yourself of getting the most out of NBN, here are some tips below. As you look for a new Internet Service Provider, let these three simple steps be your guide.

Speed – How fast should my plan be?

Cost – How far can I go in terms of cost?

Reliability – How will I know if the provider I choose would be reliable?

Once you’ve finally decided on these aspects, then for sure you’d be getting the most suitable plan for yourself and your work. With the National Broadband Network, plans go with unlimited data and that could be your starting basis as you go shopping for plans.

Nonetheless, the best plan for you might be the NBN50 because aside from substantial speed, it also comes with a reasonable price. If you are a family of four, then this is your best option. Further, NBN™50/20 plan is crucial for those working from home as it not only downloads work very fast but having an upload speed of 20Mbps can take care of the most specific demands of work.   

Other Factors to Consider

Apart from the three basic factors mentioned above, there are also other factors to consider before you finally decide on a plan. These are the a.) volume of data you will be needing, b.) need for a home phone or not, c.) length of contract you’ll decide upon, and lastly, d.) need to buy a new modem or not.  

The NBN Main Speed Tiers

There are four main speed tiers on plans for households with fixed line connection – NBN 12, NBN 25, NBN 50 and NBN 100. These things allow faster downloads and uploads, measured in Megabits per second (Mbps).

Of course, the price rises as you go up a tier higher in the various NBN plans. However, for households that don’t have the fixed line connection, the company offers more limited speed level options.

Each speed tier has specific purposes. For instance, the 12/1 plan is for basic Internet use like web browsing, email, social media. The 50/20 plan fits the medium household perfectly, for activities like HD streaming, movie and or music uploads and downloads. Knowing the speed tiers will help you determine the type of speed that the kind of Internet user like you would need.
