NBN coverage spans most capital cities as well as major regional hubs. As you can see from the map, a lot of the eastern seaboard is covered, with major hubs along the Hume corridor from Sydney to Melbourne covered. If you’re concerned that your address isn’t serviced by the NBN, you can check on the Internode website or on the NBN Co website.

How does iPrimus compare to other providers?

iPrimus compares fairly well against the competition. In general, its prices remain quite stock standard compared to other providers, but there are a couple of cheaper telcos out there potentially offering more ‘bang for buck’ – especially over the standard plus NBN tier with Fetch included. Similar providers include:

All offer some form of entertainment – be it through Fetch or Foxtel – and offer Standard Plus plans with unlimited data. All in all, it pays to shop around before making a commitment.

Is iPrimus right for me?

iPrimus has a flexible and customisable range of NBN plans, with a focus on the middle and faster speed tiers. With the option to add on Fetch, iPrimus does position itself as a good internet provider for families. However, some similar providers are currently offering equivalent plans for less on the faster speed tiers.

This is not to say that iPrimus is bad value by any stretch – its internet plans are simple, and compete well against an increasing number of new providers. If you’re an existing iPrimus customer, you can rest assured you’re in safe hands, but it’s always worth comparing different offers from time to time.
