Buddy Telco customers not only get fast nbn with plans offering varying download speeds such as the 50/20 and 100/20 plans, but they also get the peace of mind that comes with a fully Australian-based customer support team and Android and iOS apps to keep an eye on their accounts.

Which speed is right for your home?


The great thing about Buddy Telco is how simple these nbn plans are — you just have to decide whether you want an affordable Value nbn 50 plan or step up to the faster Speedy nbn 100 plan option.

Deciding between the two isn’t just about raw speed, though. 100Mbps nbn plans can deliver twice as much data to your home simultaneously. Think of it like a water pipe where the faster plan is a wider pipe capable of pushing more water through.

This means that larger homes, with more people sharing the internet, will benefit from the faster speeds of the Speedy nbn 100 plan. If you have four or more internet users on the WiFi at the same time, especially when these users are streaming videos or downloading large files, consider the speed boost.
