Why go unlimited?
With the average consumption of data increasing everyday, the idea of signing up for an unlimited data plan makes a lot of sense. Premium unlimited plans are very reasonably priced these days, with some costing the same as, or only slightly more than standard plans with data caps.
Going unlimited will give you the freedom to watch, listen and download what you want without worry, even when you’re sharing that connection with others.
Unlimited NBN 50 plans
NBN 50 is the best bang for buck option right now with plans coming in around the AU$54-70 mark and providing an average evening speed of 50Mbps. Most also offer deals like the opportunity to bundle your mobile plan and save on your recurring monthly fees. You can get by paying a little less without compromising on speed and still handle multiple people using the internet simultaneously.
