Choosing an NBN plan is a bit like playing Russian roulette – while the odds are generally stacked in your favour, there’s a pretty big chance something horrible will happen. It therefore pays to look at what other customers are buying to get an idea of what’s popular. With that in mind, here are the top five NBN plans according to around a million WhistleOut users.
The five plans below aren’t the fastest on the market, nor are they the cheapest. But they are the plans most WhistleOut customers are interested in, based on monthly clicks. When you consider there are hundreds of plans from over 30 providers to choose from, this is no small feat.
Here are the top five for the month of September. We’ve included the chief inclusions below along with the typical evening speeds you can expect to receive.

At $90 per month, Telstra’s Unlimited Internet Plan is the priciest plan in the top five.

Eligible customers with deep pockets can add a Premium Evening Speed Boost for an extra $30 a month. Telstra’s $90 plan has a typical evening speed of 40Mbps.
