WhistleOut's Kenny McGilvary provides a guide to help people find the best internet provider.
Choosing a home internet provider can sometimes feel confusing. There are different types of broadband service available, the industry is laden with jargon and there are so many deals to choose from that it can be hard to know where to start.
But a little bit of knowledge can go a long way towards finding the right kind of plan for you, with potential cost savings to be made.
The first thing to work out is which NBN service suits your needs for a home internet provider. Data allocation used to be a key consideration, but nowadays the majority of NBN deals offer unlimited data or more data than almost anyone could need.
Today, it’s the speed of your internet connection that’s most important and choosing an unlimited data plan will rarely mean a big difference in price. This gives you one less thing to worry about and you can focus on working out how fast is fast enough for you.
