One of the important choices you need to make for your home is which internet provider you go with. When you moved in, you may have gone with a cheap internet provider, or maybe the provider you’ve used in the past.But just like furniture, the cheapest option isn’t always the best. In this article we’ll cover common differences between internet providers and share some helpful tips to help you find a plan that works for you.
Before you get started, it’s helpful to understand the different types of internet plans available. There can be lots of ways to connect your home to the internet, but they might not all be available in your area.
Let’s start off with the connections available via the National Broadband Network, or NBN. The NBN is Australia’s newest way to get internet, and has helped improve internet speeds around the country. Depending on where you live, there are many ways to connect your home to the NBN, including:
The other option for getting internet in your home is ADSL. ADSL and ADSL2+ (the newer, faster version of ADSL) connects your home to the internet via a modem, and existing phone line.
Understanding what type of internet you can connect to your home is the first step in finding a suitable internet provider. You can check whether your address is NBN compatible on their official website.
