Crunching the numbers to cut your bills…
Home internet is a bill that sneaks up — you sign up at a promo rate, the discount drops off, and a year later you're paying $30 more for the same connection. With NBN tiers shifting and 5G home wireless now a real alternative, there's never been a better time to re-shop.
Internet plan comparison is coming soon to saivy.
NBN 50 covers most 2–3 person households streaming and working from home. NBN 100 and above only matters if you regularly upload large files or game competitively — dropping a tier can save $15–$20 a month.
5G home wireless is often cheaper than NBN and needs no technician install. Performance varies by location — check typical evening speeds in your area before switching.
Almost every NBN provider runs a 6–12 month discount that steps up quietly. Note the end date and use it as a trigger to re-shop rather than accept the higher rate.
Most decent NBN plans are now month-to-month. A long lock-in usually means you've traded flexibility for a small discount you can find elsewhere on a no-contract plan.
Streaming bundles, modem rentals, fixed-line phone, static IPs — they all add up. If you weren't going to pay for the extra on its own, it's not really a saving when it's bundled.
For many households, yes — especially if you have strong 5G signal at home. It's typically cheaper than equivalent NBN plans, has no install cost, and speeds are competitive with NBN 50 or NBN 100. Performance does depend on tower congestion in your area.
NBN 50 covers most 2–4 person households comfortably for streaming, video calls and working from home. NBN 100 is overkill for most homes unless you're regularly uploading large files or have many simultaneous heavy users.
No. When you switch NBN providers your service usually transfers within a few hours on the same day, and you can keep your existing modem with most providers. There's no need to schedule an install for a like-for-like swap.
