The TPG Telecom group has restructured its 5G home internet offering, killing off its uncapped plans and introducing a new slower but more affordable 50Mbps option. The change is taking place across every TPG brand offering 5G home internet so far - TPG itself, Vodafone, iiNet, and Internode.
Each of these four providers now offers the following two 5G home internet options: a cheaper plan capped to speeds of 50Mbps, and a slightly more expensive plan capped to 100Mbps.
The move seems designed to make 5G home internet a more viable alternative to NBN 50 plans, which are by and large the most popular internet option in Australia.
Pricing for 50Mbps 5G plans is as follows:
- Vodafone: $60 per month for customers with an existing mobile plan, otherwise $65 per month
- TPG: $59.99 per month
- iiNet: $59.99 per month
- Internode: $59.99 per month
Pricing for 100Mbps 5G plans is as follows:
- Vodafone: $65 per month for customers with an existing mobile plan, otherwise $70 per month
- TPG: $64.99 per month
- iiNet: $69.99 per month
- Internode: $69.99 per month
Here’s the full range of new 5G home internet plans from the TPG family:

For comparison, Vodafone NBN 50 plans are billed at $65 per month for mobile customers, or $80 per month otherwise. TPG NBN 50 plans go for $69.99 per month, iiNet for $74.99 per month, and Internode for $79.99 per month. Opting for the 5G internet option is the more affordable choice in every instance.

Fiscally speaking, it's in the interest of telcos to sell 5G home internet over NBN. Selling an NBN plan requires paying wholesale rates to NBN Co, representing a large chunk of a monthly internet bill. But since the TPG family owns its 5G network, selling a 5G home internet plan results in a larger margin. TPG doesn't need to pay a wholesale fee to NBN Co to deliver a 5G service, so it's not surprising that its 5G plans are more affordable.
The four TPG family providers previously offered an uncapped plan where speeds could go as fast as network conditions allow. Telstra and Optus both offer this kind of plan, and in our testing, we've seen speeds over 500Mbps. TPG has no plans to reinstate these uncapped plans in the short term.
For comparison, here's what Telstra and Optus' 5G home internet plans look like. Optus also offers a 5G plan capped to 100Mbps, but Telstra has a single uncapped plan:
