See our Ratings Methodology.
ALDI Mobile has taken out our mobile broadband ratings for the third year in a row, beating Optus, Telstra, Vodafone, Aussie Broadband and Amaysim to be 2021’s best-rated provider. ALDI scored an impressive five stars across most of our research categories, including overall satisfaction, speed & coverage and customer service.
Gone are the days of needing a fixed-line connection to get the best speeds, service and data. Nowadays, mobile broadband plans have become a viable alternative to the NBN, ADSL, and cable. Mobile data is the ultimate for flexibility and browsing on the move, so get the lowdown on which providers offer the best bang for your buck with Canstar Blue’s 2021 mobile broadband review and ratings.
This year, we’ve surveyed more than 2,400 mobile broadband customers to determine just which provider offers the best prices, fastest speeds, and overall most satisfaction for your money. Our 2021 ratings include Australia’s three biggest telcos – Vodafone, Optus and Telstra – while also showing that good things come in smaller packages with ALDI Mobile, Amaysim and new entry Aussie Broadband. The idea is to give you as much information as possible about the compared providers, and more, to help you make a better-informed decision about which mobile broadband plan to go with. Brands must have received a minimum of 30 survey responses to be included in this review. So, what did we find?
Here are the best mobile broadband providers in Australia, as rated by consumers in Canstar Blue’s 2021 review:
In an outstanding effort, ALDI Mobile received five stars in almost every category, including customer service, bill and cost clarity, ease of set-up and speed & coverage, in addition to overall satisfaction. In its second year in our mobile broadband ratings, Amaysim came in second with four stars for overall satisfaction, followed in third place by debuting brand Aussie Broadband. Our top six was rounded out by Optus, Vodafone and Telstra.
With 5G home internet now a reality, it’s an exciting time to check out a new mobile broadband plan – especially if your NBN speed isn’t up to scratch. So, what are the best mobile broadband deals around? Read on for specifics about the brands in our review, but first, below is a quick comparison of mobile broadband plans.

According to Canstar Blue’s 2021 research, Australians are spending an average of $73 per month on mobile broadband – higher than last year’s average spend of $69 per month. This figure is also higher than the average monthly NBN bill, which is now $71 according to our 2021 NBN Providers survey. With the NBN rollout officially completed, it’s likely many people previously reliant on mobile internet can now make the switch to NBN – but if you don’t have the option (or just don’t want to), you can still find a good deal on mobile broadband.
With prices beginning from less than $10 per month for basic entry level plans, and options up to 500GB or more per month, mobile broadband offers a much wider variety of data and price points than most fixed-line broadband services, for a cheaper cost than high-speed unlimited NBN.
If you’re unhappy with the reliability of your NBN or ADSL plan, and find yourself switching to mobile data on your phone rather than using WiFi at home, mobile broadband might be an ideal solution if you don’t require unlimited gigabytes each month.
Most mobile broadband customers seem to use their plan to complement their existing internet, or as a temporary solution while waiting to connect to the NBN: 63% of respondents said they primarily to use for work while travelling, while 58% said it was cheaper to pay for mobile internet than to buy more data or upgrade their phone plan.
63% of survey participants prefer to use mobile internet around the home as it’s faster and more reliable, and 50% expect to only use mobile broadband at home going forward. However, 61% of respondents say they don’t use their mobile internet as much as they thought they would, so it’s important to figure out just how you’ll use your broadband to avoid paying for data you don’t need.
No matter what type of broadband plan you need, it’s important to do your research to find a data limit that’s appropriate and at a price you’re happy to pay. Happy browsing!
Aside from the few names mentioned above, there are around 30 providers out there, and many phone plan providers also double up to offer mobile broadband. After all, mobile broadband is essentially a phone plan without the calls and texts. Other providers worth keeping an eye out for include:
Smaller service providers tend to operate with lower overheads and can therefore deliver more data often at a cheaper price. However, in terms of ‘extra stuff’, such as data-free streaming, they may lack behind. It’s important to consult Critical Information Summaries here to see what you’re getting.

Mobile broadband works as a portable and home internet solution by using 4G, 3G (and on some plans 5G) networks to deliver internet to your device. Put simply, you pay for a plan from your selected provider, with plans varying in terms of costs, data inclusions and bonuses.
Mobile broadband can work through three main ways: either it’s delivered through a SIM card that you slot into your phone or SIM card compatible device (like having a phone plan without a phone number), it’s delivered through a dongle that connects via USB to your laptop or computer, or it’s delivered through a completely separate device, like a portable modem.
4G mobile broadband’s theoretical speeds can exceed 100Mbps, which is fast enough to stream TV shows and sports across multiple devices. However, in real-world scenarios, mobile broadband speeds typically only reach around 30Mbps to 50Mbps, and even slower in congested areas or times.
5G testing has revealed that the new network can exceed 20Gbps in ideal conditions, with more realistic real-world scenarios likely to achieve about 1-5Gbps. This is much faster than anything we have seen in Australia.
While 5G is still in its infancy, there’s no question that in the 4G vs. 5G debate, 5G reigns supreme. But there are a variety of factors that can affect your mobile broadband speeds – regardless if you’re using 5G, 4G or even 3G.
Unlimited mobile broadband is currently only offered by Telstra, Optus and Vodafone – but there’s a catch. Once you surpass the monthly data limit on your plan, any data you use after that point will be limited to 1.5Mbps. These speeds are good enough for basic social media use and email access, but you might struggle when trying to watch Netflix or high-quality YouTube videos.
Mobile broadband plans on a contract typically include larger data amounts and lower monthly costs, at the disadvantage of not being able to leave until your contract is complete. The reverse is true of contract-free mobile broadband plans; on these plans you can expect slightly higher costs and lower data inclusions, with the benefit of being able to leave at any given time.
It comes down to what you want out of your mobile broadband plan, and how long you expect to use it. If you think you’ll need it for a longer period of time, consider a contract plan however if you only need mobile broadband for a short while, consider a contract-free plan.
Mobile broadband can be a worthwhile solution to your portable and home internet woes if the NBN has let you down, however there are some issues you should keep in mind.
While 4G (and 5G, which is only available on some plans) mobile broadband plans are portable and offer high speeds that can rival the NBN in some circumstances, keep in mind that mobile broadband plans offer limited data inclusions and often higher prices compared to NBN plans which aren’t portable, but typically are cheaper with unlimited data included. Also, keep in mind that mobile broadband speeds are heavily influenced by your location, so speeds vary greatly depending on where you are.
Mobile broadband plans don’t have phone numbers included, however, if you’re after the phone number attached to your billing account, you can usually find that information on your bill or in the account section of your service provider’s website.
You can typically check your mobile broadband data usage through your service provider’s website or app, if this option is available. Keep in mind that accurate data might take a while to update if you’re checking after a big download.
You can top up your mobile broadband plan through your provider’s website or app, if this option is available. If you’re finding that topping up your mobile broadband plan is something you’re doing often, consider getting a big data mobile broadband plan, or one that automatically recharges.
Mobile broadband is a good home internet solution for a household that doesn’t use the internet heavily, such as for basic social media and email use. However, for a household that streams Netflix or plays online games regularly, mobile broadband might not be the best solution. Mobile broadband’s low data amounts mean you’d likely run through your plan’s data after a few hours of standard definition video streaming.
If you’re after a home internet solution that works well for an internet-heavy household, consider an NBN plan or home wireless broadband.
If you’re after unlimited data mobile broadband, there’s another wire-free mobile option on the market. It’s called ‘home wireless’ and can theoretically replace your home internet. In most cases, simply plug in your 4G or 5G modem and use it like normal internet – no wires, no installation, and setup can take less than five minutes.
Home wireless differs from mobile broadband in that it comes packaged with a router, and is intended for use as a replacement for a fixed-line connection. It’s worth considering if you’re renting or have no fixed address, or if you’re unable to access an ADSL or NBN connection.
Major players on the home wireless scene include Optus and SpinTel, and plans usually come with a 4G WiFi modem. Most 24-month plans will include a pre-configured modem, but those on month-to-month plans may need to pay an upfront fee.
Prices usually begin at around $40 per month for 250GB of data, but selected Optus customers can access unlimited 5G home broadband from $75 per month. However, this is only available to a small number of subscribers in 5G-enabled areas.

The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have a mobile broadband plan in their name and they pay the bills – in this case, 2,433 people.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then by mean overalls satisfaction. A rated brand may receive a ‘N/A’ (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.
