According to a recent report from the ACCC, 15% of Australians are now on plans faster than 50Mbps. Meaning that 15% of Aussies are using an NBN 100, NBN 250, or NBN 1000 plan.

As the fastest NBN options around, these also tend to be the priciest. There are ways to get fast and cheap NBN plans, and as of late, MyRepublic has been leading in price when it comes to these high-speed categories. For example, its NBN 1000 plan is cheaper than most telcos’ NBN 250 plans even after the initial six-month discount is up.

Here are its NBN 100 and above plans:

First launched in Australia at the end of 2016, MyRepublic has always been the self-proclaimed “internet service provider for gamers”. While the telco isn’t quite as focused on the gaming market lately, it still offers “Gamer” NBN plans for an extra $10 per month on each speed tier. These get you a static IP and a connection optimised for gaming. MyRepublic says its Gamer plans use traffic prioritisation and custom routing to ensure a better online gaming experience. 

The provider also has a 30-day happiness guarantee on NBN 100 plans and up. If you’re unhappy and the ISP can’t provide a solution, it will refund your monthly plan fees and any hardware costs.

Here’s how MyRepublic’s high-speed plans compare to the competition.

MyRepublic is your cheapest option for a NBN 100 plan from the providers in our database. You’ll pay $69 per month for your first six months and $79 per month once the discount ends. Even at full price that's cheaper than a lot of other NBN 100 plans. Typical evening speeds sit at 93Mbps.

SpinTel’s NBN 100 plan is also currently discounted to $69 per month for your first six months, but you’re looking at $84.95 per month thereafter. SpinTel does however report faster evening speeds of 100Mbps, making the plan ostensibly congestion free.

The price difference between MyRepublic and other providers becomes more pronounced when it comes to NBN 250 plans. You’ll pay $89 per month for its NBN 250 plans, and $99 per month thereafter. MyRepublic reports typical evening speeds of 200Mbps for the speed tier, which is a little lower than some competitors, however.

Your next cheapest option comes from Tangerine, where you’ll pay $94.90 per month for your first six months, and then $109.90 per month.

On the other hand, if you're after the fastest NBN 250 plans around, Aussie Broadband is a great bet with typical evening speeds of 243Mbps. You'll pay $129 per month.

Telstra is the only major provider to best Aussie Broadband, with typical evening speeds of 250Mbps. You’ll pay $130 per month for your first six months, and $140 per month thereafter. This plan also includes a three-month subscription to Binge and a year of Disney+. If you leave within your first 24 months, you’ll need to return your modem to Telstra to avoid paying a modem fee.

NBN 250 plans are available to those with FTTP and HFC NBN connections.

It’s the same deal with NBN 1000 plans. You’ll pay just $99 per month for your first six months and $109 per month thereafter. Even at full price, than a whole lot of NBN 250 plans. MyRepublic reports typical evening speeds of 350Mbps on its NBN 1000 plan. While that’s not the fastest option around, it’s a solid improvement on the 200Mbps to 250Mbps you see on most plans.

Southern Phone is a little more expensive at $105 per month for your first six months, but then jumps to $135 per month after your discount period runs out.

Exetel is also worth considering, with its plan billed at $119.95 per month for your first six months, and $139.95 per month thereafter. The only catch with this plan is you’ll be limited to maximum speeds of 500Mbps. Exetel reports typical evening speeds of 245Mbps.

NBN 1000 plans are available to all FTTP connections, and 95% of HFC connections.
