Hundreds of people search for Vodafone broadband every month and land nowhere useful, so here’s the straight version: what Vodafone’s NBN and 5G home internet plans cost, what our reviewers make of them, and who they actually suit. The short answer is that Vodafone suits a specific customer: their intro discounts run twice as long as the market standard and the 5G plans are genuinely cheap, and they make the most sense if you’re already in the Vodafone mobile ecosystem.
Who runs Vodafone home internet?
Vodafone has been part of TPG Telecom since the 2020 merger, which means Vodafone, TPG and iiNet home internet all come out of the same company. We’ve mapped the whole family tree in our who owns what guide. In practice it means Vodafone’s NBN runs on the same wholesale network as everyone else’s, while their 5G home internet runs on Vodafone’s own mobile network.
Vodafone plans and pricing
The pricing pattern is upside down compared to most providers. The entry NBN plans are poor value ($84 for NBN 25 and $94 for NBN 50 are priced above most of the market; see the cheapest unlimited plans for what that money should buy). The fast tiers and the 5G plans are where Vodafone competes: 12 month intro discounts are twice as long as the market standard 6, and 5G Plus at $55 for a year is one of the cheaper home wireless offers going. Existing Vodafone mobile customers also get bundle discounts, which is the main reason to be here at all.
What our reviewers say
Vodafone holds 12 reviews on this site since 2018, enough to rank them but a smaller sample than the big names, so treat the numbers as indicative. Overall they score 3.57 out of 5. Reliability comes in at 3.25, which puts them 13th of the 15 providers with enough reviews to rank. Support is mid-table at 3.71 (the physical store network genuinely helps; one August 2026 reviewer called out being able to walk into a store as the thing others can’t match). On the would-recommend measure they sit toward the lower end of our ranked list at 58%. Full context on our reliability and most recommended rankings.
The written reviews are balanced. A 2023 reviewer liked the easy setup and the mobile bundle discount while noting occasional dropouts during network works. An August 2026 reviewer highlighted something no small provider can match: “you can actually walk into the store to get help if required”. Experiences vary a lot with connection type and area, which is true of every provider at this sample size.
Who should consider Vodafone?
If you’re already on a Vodafone mobile plan, the bundle discount plus a 12 month intro price can make the fast NBN tiers and the 5G plans decent value, and the store network is a real fallback if you like face to face help. If you’re not a Vodafone mobile customer, the value equation is tougher, mainly because the entry NBN tiers are priced above most of the market. Our best NBN plans page and the current deals page show what else your budget gets, and if 5G home internet is the attraction, compare the best 5G home internet plans first.
Frequently asked questions
Is Vodafone NBN good?
It depends what you need. Our reviewers score Vodafone 3.57 out of 5 overall from a small sample, with the store network and mobile bundle discounts as the standout positives. The fast tiers with 12 month discounts are competitively priced; the entry tiers are priced above most of the market.
Is Vodafone home internet the same as TPG?
Same parent company. Vodafone, TPG and iiNet have all been part of TPG Telecom since 2020, though the brands run separate plans and pricing.
Is Vodafone 5G home internet worth it?
At $55 a month for the first year on the Plus plan, it’s one of the cheaper 5G home internet offers in Australia, provided you have solid Vodafone 5G coverage at your address. Check coverage before you commit and read our 5G vs NBN comparison for the trade-offs.
