The process is largely handled by the new provider, your physical NBN connection stays the same, and you usually have your new service active within 1\u20133 days. Here&#8217;s exactly how to switch without losing internet along the way.<\/p>\n<h2>Why switch NBN providers?<\/h2>\n<p>The most common reasons people switch:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Save money<\/strong> \u2014 your old plan&#8217;s price has crept up after the introductory discount expired<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better evening speeds<\/strong> \u2014 your current provider is congested at peak times<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better support<\/strong> \u2014 frustrating support experience with the current provider<\/li>\n<li><strong>Move to a higher speed tier<\/strong> \u2014 your household has grown out of NBN 50 and you want NBN 100<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get a provider with Australian-based support<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Switching is usually quick, doesn&#8217;t require a technician visit, and most modern plans have no exit fees.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Check your current contract<\/h2>\n<p>Before you cancel, log in to your current provider&#8217;s account and check:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Contract status<\/strong> \u2014 most plans now are no-contract, but check anyway. If you&#8217;re still in a 12 or 24-month contract, exit fees may apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modem ownership<\/strong> \u2014 if your provider gave you a &#8220;free&#8221; modem, you may need to return it or pay for it if you leave within 12 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Account balance<\/strong> \u2014 make sure your bill is paid up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Notice period<\/strong> \u2014 most providers require 30 days&#8217; notice, but they&#8217;ll honour the actual cancellation date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Don&#8217;t cancel your old plan yet \u2014 the new provider handles that part of the switch.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Compare NBN plans<\/h2>\n<p>This is where most people overpay or under-spec their plan. Things to compare:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Real ongoing price<\/strong> \u2014 not the introductory discount. Most providers run a 6-month discount; look at the price after that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Speed tier<\/strong> \u2014 match it to your household size. See our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/what-internet-speed-do-you-really-need\/\">what speed you really need<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Typical evening speed<\/strong> \u2014 the speed during peak hours, where some providers really fall down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where support is based<\/strong> \u2014 Australian support is worth the extra few dollars.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contract terms<\/strong> \u2014 go for no-contract unless the discount is substantial.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Setup and modem fees<\/strong> \u2014 some providers have a $99 setup, some don&#8217;t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/findaplan.php\">plan finder tool<\/a> to compare on real 2-year cost.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Choose your new plan<\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know where to start, here&#8217;s a quick decision tree:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cheapest possible<\/strong> \u2014 Tangerine, Exetel, SpinTel<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balance of price and support<\/strong> \u2014 Mate, Dodo, Kogan<\/li>\n<li><strong>Best support and reliability<\/strong> \u2014 Aussie Broadband, Superloop<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bundle with mobile or streaming<\/strong> \u2014 Telstra, Optus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more detail: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/what-actually-differentiates-nbn-providers-in-australia\/\">what differentiates NBN providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Plan your switch date<\/h2>\n<p>The actual switch takes 1\u20133 business days for an NBN-to-NBN move (much faster than the original NBN install). A few timing tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid Mondays<\/strong> \u2014 busiest day for switches, more chance of delays.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t book during a planned outage<\/strong> \u2014 check the new provider&#8217;s status page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time it to your billing cycle<\/strong> \u2014 sign up with the new provider just before your old billing cycle renews, so you don&#8217;t pay for an extra month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have a backup ready<\/strong> \u2014 your phone can tether for a few hours if there&#8217;s a brief gap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 5: Sign up with the new provider<\/h2>\n<p>The new provider&#8217;s signup form will ask for your address, payment details, and ID. You can usually choose:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Whether to bring your own modem<\/strong> \u2014 if your existing modem is decent (Wi-Fi 6 and reasonably new), you can probably keep using it. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ozbroadbandreview.com\/blog\/byo-modem-setup-for-nbn\/\">BYO modem guide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan extras<\/strong> \u2014 VoIP phone, streaming bundles, static IP, etc. Skip unless you specifically need them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Activation date<\/strong> \u2014 most providers default to &#8220;as soon as possible&#8221; but you can usually book a future date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 6: The actual switch<\/h2>\n<p>On the day of the switch, the new provider takes over your NBN connection. Your old provider&#8217;s service stops working some time during the day and the new one comes online. You&#8217;ll know the switch has completed when:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You receive a &#8220;service active&#8221; email or SMS from the new provider<\/li>\n<li>You enter the new provider&#8217;s username and password into your modem (their email will have these)<\/li>\n<li>You restart the modem and the lights come back as green<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Brief gap during the switch is normal \u2014 usually less than an hour. If you&#8217;re working from home, schedule the switch on a low-meeting day.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 7: Finalise things<\/h2>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re confirmed online with the new provider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Run a speed test<\/strong> \u2014 make sure you&#8217;re getting close to the plan&#8217;s max speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cancel your old provider<\/strong> \u2014 the new provider can sometimes handle this for you, but call your old provider to confirm. Make sure the final bill is correct.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Return any borrowed equipment<\/strong> \u2014 modem, set-top box, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Update auto-pay<\/strong> \u2014 make sure the new provider is set to auto-pay if you want.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cancel any add-ons<\/strong> \u2014 VoIP, email, streaming bundles you no longer need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Common issues when switching<\/h2>\n<h3>Switch delayed<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the switch takes longer than 1\u20133 days, especially over weekends or public holidays. If you&#8217;re worried, call the new provider for a status update.<\/p>\n<h3>Speed is slower with the new provider<\/h3>\n<p>Run a speed test plugged into the modem with Ethernet. If wired speeds are still slow, the issue may be the new provider&#8217;s network or your line quality. Call them \u2014 they should investigate.<\/p>\n<h3>Wi-Fi setup is different<\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ll usually need to re-enter the new provider&#8217;s connection details into your modem (PPPoE username and password, or just plug in if the modem auto-configures). The provider&#8217;s welcome email has these details.<\/p>\n<h3>Old provider keeps billing me<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes the old provider&#8217;s billing system doesn&#8217;t catch up immediately. Call them and confirm the cancellation date. If they double-bill, you&#8217;re entitled to a refund.<\/p>\n<h2>Switching NBN provider FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Do I need an NBN technician to switch providers?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The switch is electronic \u2014 your physical NBN connection stays the same. Technicians are only needed if you&#8217;re changing connection type (e.g. upgrading from FTTN to FTTP), which is a separate process.<\/p>\n<h3>Will I lose my email if I switch?<\/h3>\n<p>If you use the provider&#8217;s email (yourname@telstra.com etc.), yes \u2014 you&#8217;ll lose it. Most providers let you keep your email for a small fee or transition period. Better to use a Gmail or Outlook address that&#8217;s independent of your ISP.<\/p>\n<h3>What about my landline?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have a VoIP landline through your NBN, the new provider can usually port your existing number. Tell them upfront \u2014 porting can add a few days to the switch.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I keep my modem?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, if it&#8217;s a generic modem (not locked to a specific provider). You&#8217;ll just enter the new provider&#8217;s connection details. Modems that were given to you free are often locked \u2014 check with the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<h3>How often can I switch NBN providers?<\/h3>\n<p>As often as you like. Some people switch every 12 months to chase intro discounts. Most settle on a provider they like and stay.<\/p>\n<h2>Compare NBN plans<\/h2>\n<p>Ready to switch?
