Important questions to ask when choosing a nbn Sky Muster Provider

Providers can differ in performance, depending on their customer numbers and how much they have invested in their network. It is not expected that each retail service provider will offer the same level of service. Therefore, you should check that the level of service offered matches what you need.

  • Is there an activation or installation fee (most providers offer FREE Sky Muster installs)
  • Is a plug & play wi-fi router provided ?  At what cost? NOTE: you will need to order this when you order your installation if you require wi-fi.
  • How can you pay for your account ?  Does the provider accept direct deposit, credit card, BPay etc?  Does the provider charge an account fee, late fee, credit card fee or invoice fee ? (most providers DO NOT charge invoice fees)
  • If a Standard plan – Can you purchase a data block ?
  • What speed tier are you signing up to 12/1, 25/5, 50/10 or 100/20 Mbps?
  • Is there a contract for your Sky Muster account ?   Most providers offer 30 day plans so please DO NOT get locked into a contract for 12/24 mths unless you are happy with your provider & their customer service.
  • What customer support specifics are available e.g. hours/days, public holidays, Australian support centres? What notifications do they send for outages and data usage? How can you view your data usage ?
Things to note:
  • It is important to review the RSP’s Critical Information Summaries or CIS. The CIS was mandated by the ACCC to make it easy for customers to compare ISPs’ offerings. Don’t make a decision on price alone.
  • Check the contract terms stated by the provider you choose, contracted plans are usually cheaper.
  • Some providers may offer bonuses such as a month free, or a free router. Check with your provider regarding these offers.
  • If you already have a nbn Sky Muster installation, changing plans does not require any additional equipment. In most cases you can use the equipment you already have, although it is recommended you upgrade your wi-fi router if it is more than 3 years old.
  • NBN Fair Use Policies apply to SM+ and +Premium, to ensure the finite satellite capacity is responsibly shared among users.
