The best fast NBN plans in 2024

Are you a serial downloader? Do you often stream videos in HD? Or are you just tired of your internet lagging in the evenings?

The 2023 Mozo Experts Choice Awards for Fast NBN^ can help you narrow down your search for a new Fast NBN plan!

This year, the Mozo experts assessed 76 NBN broadband retailers to find the best plans.

When we refer to “Fast NBN,” we mean plans with a speed of 100Mbps and above. In this year’s Mozo Expert’s Choice Awards, there were four categories that assessed “Fast NBN” plans. These categories were, Fast Broadband (NBN100), Super Fast Broadband (NBN250), Ultra Fast Broadband (NBN500) and Ultra Fast Broadband (NBN1000).

So, if you’re wanting to upgrade to a faster NBN connection, the award winners mentioned below might be worth your attention.

For those unfamiliar with the terminology around broadband, here’s a quick explanation.

The 100, 250, 500 and 1000 refer to the number of Mbps (megabits per second) that the plan offers in terms of download/upload speed. The higher the number, the faster your speed will be. For example, the most basic NBN plans offer 25Mbps download speeds.

(Note that NBN500 and NBN1000 plans are not very common because you need to have FTTP (fibre to the premises connection) to access these speeds. If you’re curious, you can check if your address has it.)

In the Fast Broadband (NBN 100) and Super Fast Broadband (NBN250) categories, there were 10 providers who won awards. Some providers even won awards in both categories.

In the Ultra Fast Broadband (NBN500) and Ultra Fast Broadband (NBN100) categories, there was only one winner for each. Here are the winning providers:

After reading about the winners, you may be wondering how our team of experts scrutinised each individual NBN plan to find the best ones. 

To start with, the team assessed 143 NBN broadband retailers listed on the NBNCo website. Out of these 143 retailers, 76 NBN providers met the criteria to be included in the awards.

These 76 providers were then assessed against 6 different criteria to determine the winners.
