Compare NBN 100 plans from $61 per month

Q: Is NBN 100 fast enough for streaming in 4K?

Yes, an NBN 100 plan will have you sorted for streaming your TV shows in 4K. You could stream in 4K on four different streams if you wanted.

Q: Is NBN 100 fast enough for gaming?

Yes, online games should run well, even when other members of your household are online. Downloads are much faster than on an NBN 50 plan. For example, a large game download (130GB) should take around three hours (rather than five), while a single large game update (20GB) is halved to just around 30 minutes.

Hot tip: Deal hop and save

Keep an eye out for introductory deals. Many NBN providers offer new customers a lower price for the first six or twelve months. You can save a lot by changing internet providers a couple of times per year.

How fast is an NBN 100 plan?

The maximum download speed for an NBN 100 plan is 100Mbps, and most NBN providers report typical evening download speeds in line with this maximum. This means that even between 7pm and 11pm, you shouldn't experience performance dips.

To give you an idea of how different the various NBN speed tiers perform, we've put together a list of common files you might download, paired with how long it would take to download them on each speed tier.

NBN 100/20 vs. NBN 100/40 plans

Two types of NBN 100 plans exist. The main difference between NBN 100/20 and NBN 100/40 plans is upload speed.

So why would you choose an NBN 100/20 plan over an NBN 100/40 plan or vice versa? Here are the main benefits of each speed tier:

Choosing NBN 100/20? Expect to save money.
As you'd expect, a plan with a slower upload speed is cheaper than one with higher capacity.

Generally speaking, you can save $5-$10 per month by choosing the plan with a 20 Mbps upload speed instead of the provider's 40 Mbps option.

Choosing NBN 100/40? Expect faster upload speeds.
Faster upload speeds are important for people who send large amounts of data, such as system backups, collaborative video editing, or large documents to work colleagues.

For example, if you want to upload a 1GB file on an NBN 100/20 connection, it will take approximately seven minutes to complete. However, you'd cut this time in half on an NBN 100/40 connection.

Here are NBN 100 plans sorted by fastest download speed:

How to upgrade from an NBN 100 plan

If you have an Hybrid-Fibre Coaxial (HFC) or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) NBN connection type, then rather than NBN 100, you'll have the option of getting 10 times the speed if you don't think your NBN 100 plan will cut it. Don't have that connection type? The good news is some NBN customers can get a free upgrade to FTTP at no extra cost.

This program is available to customers on Fibre to the Node (FTTN) and Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) technology types. Once the infrastructure is live in your area, you'll need to opt-in to get the upgrade to full fibre. Unfortunately, there's no free and simple upgrade pathway for Fibre to the Building (FTTB) customers.

If you're eligible, you'll need to order an NBN 500 plan or above. You can refer to the NBN Co's list of selected areas to check if your address has been connected so far.

NBN TECH TYPE CHECKER

Find your NBN Technology Type

Some fixed-line NBN plan availability depends on your technology type. Check your address to find out yours.

Your address will be used to check against the nbn’s technology type database. It will not be stored by us.

In most cases NBN 500 plans are the same price NBN 100 plans, so well worth upgrading if you have room in your budget and a desire for faster speeds.

Curious about other speed tiers? Here's a breakdown of how many users can fit comfortably on each NBN speed tier and the speeds you can expect from each:

Speed tier	Best for	Max. speeds
NBN 12	Lone, low internet users	12Mbps
NBN 25	Budget pick for 1-2 people	25Mbps
NBN 50	All-rounder for small households of 2-4 people	50Mbps
NBN 100	For WFH and larger households	100Mbps
NBN 250	Faster speeds for WFH and larger households	250Mbps
NBN 500	Seamless internet experience when everyone is online	500Mbps
NBN 750	Even faster speeds for simultaneous use	750Mbps
NBN 1000	The fastest speeds you can get for less than $100 per month	1000Mbps
NBN 2000	The fastest speeds you can get right now, at a premium	2000Mbps

_{Note: Speed tiers above NBN 100 are only available at premises with FTTP and HFC connection types.}

NBN 100 vs. 5G home internet

There may be situations where your NBN 100 plan simply doesn't cut it or you can't upgrade to the faster speed tiers. That's where 5G home internet comes in. 5G home internet is delivered over mobile networks, but its meant for static use at one address rather then as with a mobile phone plan.

5G home internet plans are (unofficially) separated into speed tiers. Some plans limit speeds to 100 Mbps, while others offer uncapped speeds (with typical evening speeds between 200 Mbps and 300 Mbps).

5G home internet plans compare favourably in speed and are often a bit cheaper than their counterpart NBN plans – just make sure you have good 5G coverage at your home.

Here's a look at the cheapest 100Mbps cap and uncapped plans for comparison:

FAQs

Is NBN 100 fast enough for streaming in 4K?

Yes, an NBN 100 plan will have you sorted for streaming your TV shows in 4K. You could stream in 4K on four different streams if you wanted.

Is NBN 100 fast enough for gaming?

Yes, online games should run well, even when other members of your household are online. Downloads are much faster than on an NBN 50 plan. For example, a large game download (130GB) should take around three hours (rather than five), while a single large game update (20GB) is halved to just around 30 minutes.

Is NBN 100 fast enough for working from home?

Yes, an NBN 100 plan is the minimum we'd often recommend for working from home.
