How to choose the best home internet plan for gaming

Before you pick a plan, check what’s available at your address.

Then consider:

1. A speed that matches your needs

• Choose a speed tier based on how you game, stream and scroll.
• Multiple devices streaming, video calling or gaming at the same time can cause congestion if your plan doesn’t support high usage.
• Our internet plans show both upload and download speeds, so you know what to expect.

Tip: competitive gamers or households with multiple players benefit from nbn Ultimate internet plans.

2. Data allowance

• The more you game, the more data you'll need. Activities like large downloads, cloud gaming, streaming and more can add up fast.
• Unlimited data plans help avoid slowdowns during big updates or high-quality streaming.

3. Flexibility when you need it

• Plans with no lock in contracts or connection fees mean you can upgrade or downgrade once a month. Game your way, on your terms.

Static IP for stable connections

• improve connection stability
