Mobile broadband plans
Mobile internet is a great choice for people looking to download, upload, stream or browse the web from a variety of SIM-compatible devices (alternatively, via a pocket WiFi or WiFi dongle). Whichever plan you choose, expect a data cap and keep an eye out for potential excess data charges. Speeds will be determined by whether the plan is 4G or 5G, which means either max download speeds of 100/1000Mbps and upload speeds of 50/100Mbps, respectively. You may also need a compatible WiFi modem to make the most of your mobile broadband plan.
Either way, if you’re in the market for a mobile internet deal, you’ll find it in the daily updating list below:
What's the difference between NBN, home wireless and mobile broadband?
Not sure which technology is right for you? We get it - the world of internet plans is a pretty complex one, so let's break it down.
We've all heard of the NBN by now - it's Australia's National Broadband Network, built over the last decade with the aim of providing all Aussies with fast, reliable Internet. While there have been a few hiccups on the road to the project's completion, today, it's the most popular connection, reaching more than 12 million homes and businesses.
Home wireless, on the other hand, runs on the same 4G and 5G networks as our phones. While that generally means it's capable of achieving high speeds (often higher than the NBN itself), it comes with the same pitfalls as your mobile data. That means factors like coverage, network congestion and outages can impact your service.
Finally, we have mobile broadband. It's essentially the same as home wireless, but where home wireless runs on a stationary modem placed somewhere on your property, mobile broadband is just that - mobile. That means you can take it with you wherever you go and as long as there's coverage, you'll have Internet access.
While the NBN is the best connection for most, it may not suit everyone as the speeds you receive are highly dependent on the technology used to connect you to the NBN (i.e. FTTC, FTTN, FTTP and HFC). If you've been left unsatisfied with your NBN service, a home wireless plan could be the solution you're looking for. However, it's important to check network coverage in your area before committing to anything.
In a similar vein, mobile broadband is a good option for those looking for an NBN alternative in areas with decent network coverage. Also, due to its portable nature, you can take it with you on commutes, road trips and events and always stay connected. On the downside, mobile broadband (and home wireless, for that matter) rarely offer unlimited data plans. That means you'll be capped to a certain amount of GB, after which you may be charged for excess data.
