The Best Cheap Unlimited NBN Plans

If you favour unlimited data above all else, there are plenty of cheap unlimited plans to serve your needs.

Some of us just want an internet connection for the most basic tasks; sending emails, checking Facebook and Googling people’s reactions to the Game of Thrones finale.

Before the age of the NBN, the most important choice you had to make when choosing a broadband plan was how much data it included. These days, your monthly spend is impacted most by the speed packs offered by Australian ISPs.

If you’re one of the many Australians that’s more interested in saving money than time-spent downloading, there are plenty of cheap unlimited NBN plans to consider.

Cheapest unlimited broadband (NBN) plan: Tangerine Basic Speed Unlimited $49.90

If you’re looking for a cheap unlimited NBN plan, you really can’t go past Tangerine’s Basic Speed Unlimited plan. With no lock-in contract, Tangerine will hook you up to the NBN for $49.90 per month. Tangerine’s low-commitment $49.90 minimum cost is without a doubt your cheapest ticket to unlimited data but there are a few luxuries excluded, such as an included modem. Tangerine will send one of its one NBN-ready Wi-Fi modems to you for $89.90 or you can BYO if you already own one.

Tangerine’s Basic Speed Unlimited is discounted for a limited time. For the first 6 months, you will only pay $49.90 per month for this cheap unlimited NBN plan but after that, your monthly cost goes back up to $59.90 per month.

At that price, you are only paying 99c per month less than Exetel’s speedier NBN 50 Unlimited plan.

Cheapest Unlimited NBN 50 Standard Plus Plan

We’ve already sung Exetel’s praises for its top-value NBN 50 plans and you can’t have a conversation about cheap unlimited NBN without dropping Exetel’s name into the mix.. It might not be the cheapest unlimited broadband plan on the market but it is hands down the best value.

You might not think you need typical evening speeds of 50 Mbps but it’s important to remember that Tangerine self-reports its typical evening basic speed at around 10 Mbps. Which isn’t much faster than you would expect on your old ADSL2+ connection.

You might not, personally, do a lot of downloading or streaming but if there are multiple family members on the same Wi-Fi connection, there will be a noticeable drop in speed if you don’t have enough to go around. NBN 50 Standard Plus is recommended for households with 3 to 5 people. So if you’re in a share house with mates or you’ve got a few kids smashing hours of Peppa Pig, we’d recommend NBN 50 Standard Plus at the least.

Cheapest unlimited Premium NBN 100 plan

Premium speed doesn’t always come with a premium price tag. For the NBN’s fastest offering, Tangerine will charge you $69.90 per month with no lock-in contract. Again, this is a BYO modem deal and the price will ramp up to $79.90 per month after 6 months.

Temporary discounts not considered, Mate NBN’s Premium #soulmates plan is the cheap unlimited NBN friend you need. With no contract and a BYO modem agreement, Mate will charge you $79 per month for Premium (nbn100) unlimited broadband.
