Home internet isn’t one-size-fits-all
If you’ve ever tried streaming a movie while someone else was gaming online and another person was on a video call, you’ll know the frustration of a slow connection. That’s when having the right internet makes all the difference. And yet, choosing the right internet can feel harder than it should be, with hidden fees and confusing plans across providers.
The best nbn® plan fits how your home uses the internet, and better yet, it’s one you don’t have to think about. Vonex offers three high-speed nbn® plans: 500/50, 750/50, and 1000/100. Here’s how to work out which speed fits your home.
Step 1: Check your address
Start by confirming what high-speed nbn® plans are available at your place. Availability depends on your connection type:
- Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC): These support all three high-speed tiers: 500/50, 750/50, and 1000/100.
- Other connection types: These technologies may not support the new higher speed tiers. The good news is that many homes are now eligible for a free fibre upgrade. That means you may be able to move to FTTP at no extra cost and unlock these high-speed plans.

Step 2: Look at your household size and devices
Start by thinking about how many people live in your home, and how many devices are usually online at once. Is it just a couple of phones and a laptop, or are you running smart TVs, tablets, consoles, and a growing list of Wi-Fi-ready gadgets? The more activity you’ve got, the more important it is to have a connection that can handle it.
Step 3: Think about your daily internet use. What are you using your internet for?
Next, consider what you do online most often, because different activities put different demands on your connection. Do you mainly stream TV shows and movies and check a few emails? Or are there gamers in the house who like to play in their downtime? Do you work from home and do lots of video calls and file downloads? Or maybe you create content and need higher upload speeds to support you.
The more demanding your usage, the more important it is to choose a plan that delivers strong, consistent performance across everything you do online.
Step 4: Decide if you need to future-proof
Smart devices and higher-quality streaming of TV shows and movies are now part of everyday use, so some homes opt for more bandwidth than they currently need to support future needs. Choosing a plan with enough headroom means you won’t have to think about your internet as your household grows, or switch providers down the track.
Step 5: Match a plan to your needs. Here’s how to break it down:
Consider the ‘all-rounder’: nbn® 500/50
For many households, the 500/50 plan is the ideal entry point into high-performance home internet. It’s built for busy households using multiple devices at once, from streaming TV shows and movies to working from home, and handling larger downloads. A 50 Mbps upload speed also supports video calls, cloud backups, and recreational gaming for everyday use.
More devices, more demand: nbn® 750/50
The 750/50 plan is designed for households with higher demand and more happening at the same time. It delivers the performance needed for multiple 4K streams, online gaming, smart home devices, and large downloads running simultaneously. With additional download capacity, it keeps everything moving smoothly, even during the busiest hours of the day.
Future-proofing and creators: nbn® 1000/100
The 1000/100 plan is for homes that want the best performance available today. Content creators uploading large videos, designers working with cloud assets, and gamers who want both fast updates and low latency will notice the difference. The 100 Mbps upload speed makes this plan stand out: it’s the most future-proof option for smart homes and fans of emerging tech like VR and 8K streaming.
