Most NBN providers have two tabs on their homepage: NBN residential plans and NBN business plans. Business plans tend to have a bit of a premium on them - you’ve got to spend money to make money, right? But what else differentiates them from your run-of-the-mill NBN connection?

How to compare business NBN plans

So long as you have a valid Australian Business Number (ABN), you'll be able to sign up for a business NBN plan.

But how do you decide which business NBN plan is right for you? Consider the following factors:

Speed tier

How big is your business in terms of the number of employees and how intensive your usage is? Speed on the NBN is a shared resource, so the more demand you have, the faster the plan you'll want to consider.

Typical busy speeds

While the speed tier determines the maximum speed you could theoretically get on a given plan, the typical busy speed will give you a better sense of what speeds you can expect 9am to 5pm on weekdays.

Price

Decide what your monthly budget will be. Business NBN plans tend to be $20 to $30 more expensive than their residential counterparts. Faster speed tiers tend to be more expensive.

Contracts

Most internet plans, including business NBN, come with no lock-in contract these days. However, it's still important to check the T&Cs before you sign up. With no contract, you're free to switch to another provider if you're unhappy with the service.

Features

Business NBN plans come with support features tailored for those operating a business. You'll want to compare the kind of support options available.

Business NBN plan features

There are a few extra features on a business NBN plan you won't find on a regular residential NBN plan.

Static IP address

A static IP address is a permanent number assigned by an internet service provider to your modem.

You normally get a new IP address each time you establish a connection with your provider.

Static IP addresses are a must if you're hosting a website internally, or if you have workers remotely logging in via a VPN or other remote access software.

Business Customer Support

Expect a higher level of customer support with a business NBN plan.

Business NBN plan customers typically have a dedicated customer support line, and you may even have an account manager assigned to look after your business.

This can make a huge difference in getting your business up and running again if you experience problems.

Enhanced SLA

An enhanced Service Level Agreement is essential for businesses with critical data needs.

An eSLA determines the period in which your provider can raise faults with NBN directly (from normal business hours up to 24/7) as well as the length of time you can expect a solution.

The latter can be from "5pm on the next business day" or up to 4 hours.

Business NBN plan speeds

Aside from speed, you'll also want to consider:

How are you using the internet for your business?
How many people use the connection at the same time?

For example, if your business consists of one or two people and your internet-based work mainly consists of sending emails and browsing the internet, you won't need the fastest speed tier.

One of the main differences you might notice between the speeds offered on a residential or business NBN plan is the upload speeds. On the NBN 100 and NBN 250 speed tiers, the typical upload speeds are much higher than what you'll find on a residential plan. However, the theoretical maximum is also higher on the fastest speed tier business NBN plans for those with an FTTP connection. This includes upload speeds up to 100Mbps on NBN 250 and up to 400Mbps on NBN 1000. These cap out at 25 and 50Mbps respectively on the equivalent residential plans.

Below are our recommendations for what NBN speed will best suit your business.

NBN 50

Download speeds

Up to 50Mbps

Upload speeds

Up to 20Mbps

Best for: Sole traders

NBN 50 plans are useful for very small teams who don't need much bandwidth. If you're all sending emails with large attachments or downloading large files at once, you might notice some lag.

You might also struggle to maintain a stable connection if all three of you are video conferencing at the same time. This speed tier is definitely usable if you want to cut back on expenses or if you’re a sole trader, but for most businesses, it’s worth the extra money to upgrade to an NBN 100 option instead.

Here are the cheapest business NBN 50 plans available in our database:

NBN 100

Download speeds

Up to 100Mbps

Upload speeds

Up to 40Mbps

Best for: Small businesses

In many cases, an NBN 100 plan will be ample for around five to seven people using the internet moderately.

For many businesses, an upload speed of 40Mbps will be useful. Especially for those regularly relying on video conferencing or who regularly make use of tools like Google Drive and Dropbox for large files. If you're not doing a lot of video conferencing or working with large files, an upload speed of 20Mbps should be okay for your team.

Aussie Broadband business NBN plans

For the most comprehensive selection of NBN business plans, it’s difficult to look past Aussie Broadband.

Not to mention its customer-support team is Australian-based in Melbourne and so good they've won awards.

Aussie's business NBN customers can choose from seven plans. With each plan you get a static IP address, no lock-in contract, seven days of local business support, and priority handling from the support team.

On its NBN 500 plan and above, you get priority fault restoration through an NBN eSLA with a 4-hour rectification time. On its NBN 100 plan, you can add an eSLA for $15 per month with a 12-hour rectification time.

Superloop business NBN plans

Superloop is another provider with comprehensive business NBN plans.

The telco offers two business NBN plan types: Everyday Business and Business Max. With the Everyday Business plans, you've got seven options to choose from, ranging from NBN 50 all the way through to NBN 2000. Business Max plans over the NBN 500 speed tier include an NBN eSLA with a 4-hour rectification time, while the single NBN 250 plan includes an eSLA with a 12-hour rectification time.

Each of these plans comes with a free Amazon eero7 or TP-Link VB433v router when you stay connected for 24 months. The total minimum cost for the modem is $144. If you leave early you'll have to pay out $8 per month remaining on the term. You do need to pay $20 for shipping.

Like Aussie, Superloop has an Australian-based customer support team. Business customers get priority status and are jumped to the top of the queue. If you don't get in touch with the support team within five minutes, you may get a $10 credit to your account.

All of Superloop's business plans include a static IP address and free phone service. You can add a phone line with unlimited calls for $10 per month, which includes 12 international destinations.

Telstra business NBN plans

Telstra and business plans go hand in hand, but at the same time, there isn’t too much separation between residential and business plans with the provider.

Telstra's business NBN plans come with the option to add a Telstra Smart Modem, which uses the telco's 4G mobile network to keep you connected in the case of NBN outages. Residential NBN plans with 4G backup are often capped at maximum download speeds of 25Mbps and upload speeds of 5Mbps, but a Telstra business NBN plan doesn’t have these limitations. This means you have full reign of the hundreds of megabits per second available on a 4G mobile network until your business NBN is back up and running.

Telstra does offer the option to bring your own modem, or you can opt for a plan that already includes the Telstra Smart Modem in the price of your plan (which also includes a phone service with unlimited calls). If you leave or change plans within 24 months, you'll need to return the modem or pay a $200 non-return fee.

Below is a snapshot of Telstra's business NBN plans:

Optus business NBN plans

Optus offers five types of business NBN plans across four speed tiers: NBN 50, NBN 100, NBN 500, and NBN 1000.

Like Telstra, Optus offers a 4G backup modem, the Optus Ultra WiFi Modem (Gen 2). This is included for free on all plans if you stay connected for 24 months. Normally, the modem costs $306. The fee is essentially discounted on your account each month in $12.75 amounts. If you leave earlier, you'll need to pay out the cost of the modem per month remaining. Unlike Telstra, even on a business plan, the backup modem is restricted to download speeds of 25Mbps and upload speeds of 2Mbps.

A phone service is available for $10 per month with unlimited standard calls to landlines and mobile phones.

On its NBN 500 plan and above, you get priority fault restoration through an NBN eSLA with a 4-hour rectification time. On its NBN 100 plan, you get priority fault restoration through an NBN eSLA with a 12-hour rectification time.

Business NBN plan FAQs

Do I need a business NBN plan for EFTPOS terminals?

Some EFTPOS and other payment terminals operate off mobile networks while others will need to be connected via your internet connection.

More modern payment tablets like Square terminals do use your WiFi or Ethernet connection, so will take up a small amount of bandwidth on your NBN connection. If you're running a small business such as a cafe and you're not offering free WiFi, you can probably get by with a cheaper residential NBN plan.

What if a business NBN plan isn't enough for my needs?

Business NBN plans are typically suited for people running small to medium businesses (SMBs) up to and around 30 people. If your business is larger or growing, then an enterprise-level plan might suit you better.

Business NBN Enterprise Ethernet involves setting up high-performance fibre for your business. NBN offers "symmetrical speeds", which simply means your download and upload speeds match. Enterprise Ethernet providers can offer symmetrical speeds from as little as 10Mbps all the way up to close to 10Gbps.

Enterprise Ethernet is suitable for businesses with cloud-based needs, multi-line voice calling, video conferencing, remote back-ups and CRM.

Can I claim my business NBN plan on tax?

You may be able to claim the cost of your business NBN plan at tax time as a general business operating expense. However, we're not accountants, so double-check with your financial planner or see the ATO's rules.
