What should I look for in a fibre-optic broadband plan?

Our platform allows you to quickly find out which fibre internet plans are available in your area.

Users and devices

Different plans cater to different households. To properly compare internet plans, it’s essential to consider the number of people in your home who will use the internet. You should also look at how many devices you need to use. Also, note how you would use these devices during the day, especially during the typical busy period, which is 7.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m.

Your lifestyle will determine which plan you should opt for. Are you working from home and are constantly in video meetings, or do you enjoy online gaming and binge-watching series? You should always opt for a plan according to how much data you think you’ll use.

Speed

Fibre internet plans have different speed tiers. Knowing how fast each plan is will help you decide which is best for your household and small business.

For instance, nbn® 25 plans can yield speeds of up to 25 Mbps for download and up to 4 Mbps for upload. Meanwhile, nbn® 50 plans may give you download speeds of up to 50 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20 Mbps. For nbn® 100 plans, download speeds can reach a maximum of 100 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 16 Mbps.

You also have to know that local factors may affect the speed of your fibre optic plan. These include your hardware, software, and radio-frequency interference.

Budget

Ultimately, you have to choose a plan that’s within your budget. Always set a monthly budget when looking for the best nbn® plan and fiber optic internet providers.

At Skymesh, we make choosing the best plan simple for you. You can turn to our Critical Information Summary and Key Facts Sheet to check which of our nbn® Fibre plans yields enough speed for your household.

What should I consider when choosing a fibre-optic internet provider?

Now that you know what plans are available to you, how do you choose from the fiber optic internet providers that offer them?

Here are a few things you need to consider when looking for fiber optic internet providers.

Service Quality

Consider the retail service provider’s quality of service. You can look at any awards or recognition that they may have. You should also check the availability of their customer service team. This will allow you to see their determination to support their customers whenever they have concerns. Other than that, check how long they have been in business.

Optional Contracts

Notably, the plans available for fibre optic internet range from no-lock-in packages to ones requiring a one- or two-year commitment. It’s best to find fiber optic internet providers that have optional contracts, so you don’t have to feel pressured if you want to switch plans.

Plan charges

While choosing a fibre optic internet plan, you may be open to later upgrading or downgrading to other plans. That said, you should consider fiber optic internet providers that will not charge you if you wish to do that.

We offer all these at Skymesh. We have over twenty years of experience providing regional Australians with our award-winning internet plans.

We offer a 30-day no-lock-in contract if you want to try out one of our fibre nbn® plans. In the unlikely event that our plan doesn’t meet your expectations, all we require is a 30-day notice of cancellation.
