Flip broadband NBN, wireless and adsl internet reviews and plan comparisons
Exetel launched its first broadband service in 2004 and built a name as a low-cost, no-frills ISP. Since 2021 it has been owned by ASX-listed Superloop, which runs the network behind it, while Exetel continues as its own value-focused brand. Flip is a budget nbn brand that has been around for several years and migrated its 26,000 customers onto Swoop infrastructure in early 2025. Plans cover nbn 25 through nbn 100, all unlimited, with low intro pricing. Flip is a value play, not a premium brand, and it suits households who want a working unlimited plan at the cheapest end of the market without being on a major telco.
