Sticky vs. static IP

If you need NBN with a static IP address, you probably already know why. They’re mostly used by businesses, but there are some niche cases for home internet use, like if you're running a home server. This is why they’re built into business NBN plans, but not residential plans.

We’ll go over some more of the reasons you might want NBN with static IP later on, but first, we’ll cover the NBN providers that offer it and how to get one.

To start, here's a look at NBN 50 plans from NBN providers that offer a static IP as an optional add-on. Just note these prices do not include the price of a static IP, which is typically between $5 and $11 extra per month, depending on which provider you go with.

How to get a static IP address

To get NBN with a static IP, you need to do two main things:

Find a provider that offers static IP
Pay an additional monthly fee

Not all NBN providers offer static IP, and those who do charge extra for it – just how much depends on the internet provider, but it’s generally between $5 and $10 per month.

Each provider has its own process for dealing out static IPs, so check the website. You might have to apply online, through an app, or call a certain number, for example.

Superloop static IP

Superloop charges an extra $5 per month to add a static IP to its NBN plans, otherwise, you’ll be given a dynamic IP address by default.

If you also have a prepaid mobile plan through Superloop, you can offset this cost by bundling your mobile and internet. The telco lets you bundle up to five mobile or phone phone services to save more on your internet bill.

The first service gets you a $5 discount, and every additional service is another $2.50 off for a maximum possible $15 discount per month if you bundle your internet with five services.

Here’s a look at Superloop’s NBN plans you can request a static IP for:

#1	Superloop	Superloop Everyday nbn25/10 nbn® 25/8.5 Mbps Unlimited Data Deal: Incl. $10/mth off for 6 mths! $59/mth for 6 mths, then $69/mth + Free Amazon eero 6+ if you stay connected for 24 mths $59/mth Min. cost $59 Go to Site	$59/mth Min. cost $59	Go to Site

Superloop also offers up to five days of free speed upgrades per month through its My Speed Boost feature. This can come in handy if you have large files that intermittently need downloading, such as operating system updates or video game purchases, but it has limitations based on your connection.

Only people with FTTP and HFC connections can use My Speed Boost on NBN 100 plans or above. All fixed-line NBN technologies can use My Speed Boost on NBN 50, and the feature isn’t included with Superloop’s NBN 25 plans.

Exetel static IP

Exetel used to include static IP as the default for its internet plans, but that’s no longer the case. The default option is now dynamic, and opting for NBN with static IP is an extra $5 per month.

Once again, you can bundle your mobile and internet plan to potentially save a bit of money. The bundle discounts are identical to Superloop’s – $5 off for bundling one phone service, and $2.50 more per service for a maximum of $15 off if you bundle five.

You can get a static IP with all Exetel NBN plans:

#1	Exetel	Exetel Everyday nbn25 nbn® 25/8.5 Mbps Unlimited Data Deal: Includes $13/mth off for first 6 months - $50.99/mth for first 6 months, then $63.99/mth. $50.99/mth Min. cost $50.99 Go to Site	$50.99/mth Min. cost $50.99	Go to Site

Exetel’s current claim to NBN fame is speed. It regularly ranks among (or at the top of) the fastest NBN providers in the ACCC's Measuring Broadband Australia report.

Dodo static IP

Signing up to a static IP from Dodo is an extra $5 per month on top of your normal NBN bill.

The telco doesn’t offer any mobile and internet bundling, but its NBN plans are low-frills and cheap compared to the rest of the market. It also performs well in the ACCC’s Measuring Broadband report, scored jointly with sibling provider iPrimus, sometimes receiving scores above 100% for download speed.

This combination of cost and performance meant Dodo took home the 2024 WhistleOut Award for Best Premium NBN Provider.

Here’s a look at Dodo’s NBN plans:

#1	Dodo	Dodo nbn25 Unlimited Plan nbn® 25/4 Mbps Unlimited Data 12mths Deal: Incl. $15/mth discount for 12 months based on the standard price $68.90/mth. Ends 29.04.25. T&Cs apply. $53.90/mth Min. cost $53.90 Go to Site*	$53.90/mth Min. cost $53.90	Go to Site

iPrimus static IP

You can get a static IP from iPrimus for an additional $5 per month. Like Dodo, with which it shares a performance score, iPrimus delivers good NBN speed in the ACCC’s Measuring Broadband report.

The telco also has affordable plans, and offers a WiFi modem with its plans, as long as you stick around for 18 months. If not, you’ll need to pay out $10 for each month remaining.

Aussie Broadband static IP

If you grab an NBN plan through Aussie Broadband, a static IP will cost you an extra $5 per month. The default option is a dynamic IP address.

To get NBN with static IP through Aussie, you can use the MyAussie app or online portal, or you can call the customer service team on 1300 880 905.

Aussie doesn’t offer the cheapest NBN plans in Australia, but it has a good reputation for customer service and satisfaction.

Buddy Telco static IP

Buddy Telco is a newish budget provider owned by Aussie Broadband. To get a static IP with Buddy, just add it as a "bolton" to your plan via your online account and an extra $5 will get added to your monthly bill.

Swoop static IP

Swoop NBN customers can add a static IP to their plan for an extra $5.50 per month. Swoop NBN plans are on the premium side, but it regularly offers deep honeymoon discounts. This might make the price tag a little more palatable.

While Swoop is a smaller name in NBN, many of its core staff came up through Superloop, putting a strong pedigree behind the brand. Swoop also owns Moose Mobile.

Here are Swoop's NBN plans:

#1	Swoop	Swoop nbn® Home Casual nbn® 25/10 Mbps Unlimited Data Deal: Includes $15/mth off for 6 months with code LOVE15, $54/mth for first 6 months then $69/mth. Offer ends 30.04.25 $54/mth Min. cost $54 Link not supplied	$54/mth Min. cost $54	Link not supplied

Both plan options give you access to Optus’ SubHub platform, which is a way of bundling multiple subscription services together to get a discount.

The Everyday plans are the more streamlined of the two. These plans can include an optional Ultra WiFi Modem 2 that supports 4G backup, but if you leave within 36 months it’ll cost you $8.50 per month remaining – you can’t return it.

Optus has a slightly different setup to its NBN plans. Not only are they separated by speed tiers like NBN 50, NBN 100, etc. They’re also split into two camps: “Everyday” and “Family Entertainer”. Both have the same performance, but different levels of extra perks.

Both plan options give you access to Optus’ SubHub platform, which is a way of bundling multiple subscription services together to get a discount.

Family Entertainer plans can also include the Ultra WiFi Modem 2 and Optus 4G backup, as well as an Ultra WiFi booster for extending your WiFi network. But if you leave within 36 months, you also need to pay off the booster, with the booster and modem coming to a total of $14.50 per month remaining.

Family Entertainer plans also include a Standard Netflix subscription, but this doesn’t fully cover the cost difference between the two. And there’s free access to McAfee WiFi Secure – you can do your own research as to whether that’s something you want in your life.

Telstra static IP

A Telstra static IP will cost you an extra $10 per month – just call 1800 834 273 and ask to apply it to your NBN plan. That’s on top of Telstra’s already high prices for NBN plans, though the telco isn’t without its perks, which include a free modem, 4G backup for your NBN, some streaming discounts, and NBN speed.

The Telstra Smart Modem is free if you stick around for 24 months, or you can return it for free if you leave within that time. If not, it’s a $200 hardware charge. This modem, coupled with a Telstra NBN plan, also gives you access to 4G backup that automatically kicks in during NBN outages.

As for speed, Telstra regularly ranks among or at the top of the fastest NBN providers in the ACCC’s Measuring Broadband report. So you’re at least very likely to get close to the NBN speeds you’re paying for on most plan options.

Here’s a look at Telstra’s NBN plans:

Popular providers that don't offer static IP

While NBN with static IP is available from quite a few of the bigger or more well-known internet providers, there are some notable names that don't offer it.

TPG static IP

TPG doesn’t offer static IP for its internet plans. You can sign up to a TPG business plan and get a static IP, but residential plans can only receive a dynamic IP.

iiNet static IP

You can’t get residential NBN from iiNet with static IP – the only option is the default dynamic IP address.

Tangerine static IP

Tangerine Telecom is a small provider that’s been growing in popularity. Until recently, its plans came by default with a “sticky” IP address, which is kind of like a middle ground between dynamic and static (essentially, it doesn’t change very often, but it can change at any time).

But Tangerine has stopped providing sticky IPs to its new customers and is migrating toward using dynamic IPs. The telco confirmed to WhistleOut that NBN with static IP will be available in the future, but pricing and availability is yet to be determined.

What is a static IP address?

Your IP address is kind of like your modem’s phone number. It lets other devices recognise you and contact you directly, without having to go through intermediary software or services. A "static IP" is an IP address that doesn’t change.

These days, the default is a dynamic IP, which changes regularly, even in the middle of a browsing session. Dynamic IPs are cheaper for internet service providers to implement because they don’t have to own as many IP addresses – their address pool can be shared and shuffled among whichever users are online at any given point in time.

A dynamic IP also makes it harder for third parties to track you around the web, though there are plenty of other ways this can be accomplished.

Why would you want a static IP address?

Odds are you don’t need or want a static IP address. They offer little-to-no benefit for the average user, and have the slight downside of being easier to track.

Businesses need them, often for security reasons. Special access to servers or software can be granted on a per-IP-address level. But this can only work if those IP addresses don’t change.

But there are niche cases where non-business static IPs are useful. Just a few examples might include:

Running a web server
Automated connections with devices outside your home
Maintaining an always-on connection to another machine
Services that require IP whitelisting (these are very rare)

Sticky IP vs. static IP

You might see some providers use the term “sticky” IP. This is a tough one to define because it’s used to describe different IP applications in different situations. But the way it’s used by Australian telcos seems to only refer to a run-of-the-mill “public IP” address.

Where a dynamic IP address changes regularly, a (non-static) public IP address only changes rarely. But an ISP can change your public IP address at any time, making it unuseful for anything you might want a static IP for.
