What internet types can I compare?

NBN (FTTP, FTTC, FTTN, HFC, fixed-wireless), 5G home internet, and traditional broadband. The comparison checks which technologies are available at your address.

Will switching internet providers cause downtime?

Most NBN-to-NBN switches are seamless. There may be a brief outage of a few hours when transferring between technology types — your new provider will give you an exact window before the switch.

Can I keep my email address when I switch ISPs?

If you use a provider-specific email (eg. @bigpond.com), some providers allow you to keep it for a fee. We recommend moving to a provider-independent address before switching.

What changes when you switch

Switching internet without losing your weekend.

Most NBN-to-NBN switches are seamless

Same technology, different retailer = no downtime. We'll flag the rare exceptions before you commit.

BYO router or get a new one

Most providers ship a free or low-cost modem. If you have your own, we'll show which providers support it.

Keep your email address

If you use a provider-specific email (eg. @bigpond.com), some let you keep it. We'll explain the rules per provider.

Exit fees flagged before you switch

We check whether your current plan has an exit cost — and tell you the net saving after that's accounted for.
