Daily Telegraph: How to find the best NBN deals while working from home during COVID-19
The Daily Telegraph talks to WhistleOut's Kenny McGilvary about how to find better NBN deals during COVID-19.
One in six Australians have no idea what type of internet connection they have and many are unclear on what speeds they need, which could leave them wasting money.
About 29 per cent of National Broadband Network customers don’t know what speed they are paying for, a survey from telco comparison site WhistleOut has found.
In 2020, NBN Co rolled out new NBN 250 and 1000 speed tiers, but most NBN customers are on lower speed connections at 12, 25, 50 and 100.
WhistleOut spokesman Kenny McGilvary says the COVID-19 lockdown highlights the importance of having a good internet connection, particularly for those forced to work from home.
“Most home internet plans now come with unlimited data and today it’s the speed of the service that makes the most difference,” he says.
Mr McGilvary says NBN50 no-contract plans – the most popular speed households signed up to – with unlimited data start at about $60 per month.
He urges people to refrain from signing up to lock-in contracts until they have test driven a service by starting off with a month-by-month deal.
