Belong’s Plans Now Have More Data, But Still Aren’t Particularly Impressive

Belong is the brand Telstra uses as a no-frills broadband provider — think of it as the month-by-month Jetstar to Telstra’s contract Qantas. The original plans Belong offered were thoroughly underwhelming. Now it has increased its data allowances, but there are still better value plans out there.

Belong’s $80 a month ADSL plan now offers 500GB (up from 250GB), while its $70 a month plan now offers 100GB, rather than 70GB. Those plans don’t require a contract, but if you do sign up for a 6-month contract, you’ll save $10 a month. Its NBN plan now offers 500GB for $65 a month.

As before, Belong is only available in limited areas. But the bigger restriction is you can still do better elsewhere — especially on that $80 plan. Optus, for example, will give you an unlimited connection for $90 a month. iiNet offers 600GB for $69.95 a month. While the flexibility of month-by-month might be helpful in some cases, other providers offer that too, so shop around carefully.
