BIRRR Guide to choosing an nbn Provider, Plan & Equipment

NOT ALL PROVIDERS ON THE NBN NETWORK OFFER THE SAME EXPERIENCE!

Your provider, plan and in-home equipment can all affect your nbn experience. Retail Service Providers (RSPs) may offer different plans, speed tiers, equipment and customer support, so it is important to compare your options.

BIRRR has prepared this guide to help you understand what nbn technology is available at your premises, how to compare providers and plans, and what to consider when choosing equipment.

REMEMBER: Not all providers offer every nbn technology, plan or speed tier.
