What do I need to think about when it comes to my home broadband.
First of all, the big question is what does your household use the internet for? Is it just reading emails, browsing ecommerce sites and the occasional Netflix or are you a gamer, someone who is working from home sending and receiving large data files. Depending on what you use your wifi for it will help you understand what speeds and data plan you will need.

Can I cancel my current internet plan if I find a better deal?
Depending on your current contract there may be cancellation fees or there may not be. If you are on a month to month plan or you have surpassed the contract period than you are most likely to change whenever you like. However, if you are on a 6, 12, 18 or 24-month plan you will need to check a few things including how long you have left on the contract and what your current provider charges for cancellations – this is often a per-month fee for the remaining month of the contract as well as any outstanding hardware costs.
If you have chosen a set period plan (such as 12 months), here at Econnex we recommend you compare plans in the lead up to your current plan’s expiry date. In most cases a retailer wont reimburse you for unused data for your final month so it is important to be conscious of when your service starts and ends in the month and connect to a new plan or provider a couple of days before this date.
Frequently asked question
Check your internet comparison questions answered
There are 3 main elements you need to consider when comparing broadband plans – price, size and speed.
How much are you will to pay? Price is a big factor for most aussies and why pay more than you need. The price of your plan will depend on several questions
What speed do you need? This really depends on the size of your household and what you're planning to use your Internet for. According to NBN Co, nearly 70% of households are signed up to an NBN 50 or faster plan.
What are you using the internet for? Are you just using it to browse Facebook, maybe watch a little Netflix or are you a heavy gamer, do you work from home with huge data bases… depending on your usage you may need to asses what size plan you need. This will also be dependant on how many people are in your household using the Wi-Fi. For example, a family household of 5 people where 3 are streaming high definition videos, one is sending and receiving large files and the other is gaming will require much more Gigabytes per month compared to a household where only 2 out of the 5 family members is simply streaming their favourite content. The number of devices connected and the type of activity will help you determine how important speed of your connection is – the higher the MBPS the faster internet you will have.
The final thing to consider is what contract type do you want? There are several options offered by retailers – from month-to-month, 12-month contracts and 24-36-month contracts. The same plan on a different contract period will change the price!
- This is a network of high-speed fibre optic cables owned by the government. Most Australians will have access to a home NBN Plan. It's made up of a wide mix of different technologies, and your actual NBN connection type will vary depending on where you live. This is why your address matters so much when it comes to buying an NBN plan.
- ADSL uses copper telephone lines to send data signals. ADSL isn't capable of transferring data as quickly as the NBN, and it will largely disappear from Australian homes in the near future as the NBN replaces it.
If you need a modem to go with your plan look out for those plans and retailers that include a modem with your service. Ask yourself if you actually need a modem to go with your plan if not you could save by getting a BYO modem from your local electronics store or even using one you already have at home.
It is also worth checking if your BYO modem is compatible with your service – ADSL and NBN may have different technical requirements of the modem.
The biggest question is how quickly you need to be connected. For most people NBN is the fastest type of internet to be connected. A new connection can take a couple of weeks if the cables, connections.
The other items to consider include whether you are upgrading any home appliances or devices – new smart TV that streams free to air? Your internet consumption will increase or maybe you are creating a smart home by integrating a wireless sound system or Google Home speaker with lightbulb, electronic devices and more… again each of these devices will be connected to the internet and will increase your consumption so your current (or previous) plan may no longer work for you.
First step is to understand what you need and why you need it – what is on the top of the Wishlist? Do you care about speed, size or contract length by understand?
In the simplest sense MBPS refers to the speed of your internet – the higher the MBPS the faster your internet. MBPS stands for ‘megabits per second’ and it measures internet bandwidth… but what does that mean?
Bandwidth is the download and upload rate of your connection. This doesn’t just mean downloading files onto your device but everything you do online is downloading the information onto your browser for viewing. So, to watch YouTube videos or Netflix without buffering or loading photos on Instagram both require you to download that information from the internet onto your computer or mobile device. This particularly become important for online gaming where a buffering internet connection could cost you the game.
The easiest way to determine what size plan you need (taking into consideration household size, budget and other items previously listed on this page) is to understand the basic tasks and how much data is required for each.
- General web browsing and social media should use no more than 2.5MB of data per minute
- Streaming Netflix will use a minimum of 700MB an hour, while HD Netflix increases this to 3GB an hour
- Downloading movies will chew through between 1.5GB and 16GB depending on length and definition quality
- Watching YouTube for five minutes will use about 20MB of data, but this again varies depending on quality
- Game downloads can take up anything between several megabytes and 100GB
According to CanstarBlue - the average Aussie spends around 48hrs each month online, so taking this into consideration along with the number of people using the internet and the type of tasks being undertaken will help give you a better sense of the size of the broadband plan you need.
