Five ways to get better value from your internet

Choosing a home internet provider is not only about finding the lowest advertised price. 

Your internet has become an essential part of everyday life. Whether you use it for keeping in touch with family, streaming television, online banking, video calls, or simply browsing the web, you want a connection you can rely on without paying more than you need to. 

If you are thinking about reviewing your current provider, here are five things worth looking at before making the switch. 

1. Start with reliable home internet 

A good price does not mean much if your internet does not do what you need it to do. 

For many households, the priority is straightforward: reliable home internet that handles everyday activities without unnecessary complexity. 

Flip offers a range of nbn plans for different household needs. For smaller households with relatively straightforward internet use, nbn25 can be a practical option for activities including browsing, email, online banking, video calls, and streaming. 

The right speed will depend on how many people are using the connection and what they are doing online, so it is worth choosing a plan based on your actual needs rather than automatically paying for the fastest option. 

2. Check whether you are being locked into a contract 

Circumstances change, and your internet plan should give you some flexibility. 

Flip's nbn plans have no lock-in contracts, so customers are not tied into a long-term commitment simply to access the service. 

That can be particularly useful if you are moving home, your internet needs change, or you simply decide the plan is no longer right for you. 

When comparing providers, check whether there is a minimum contract period and what happens if you decide to leave.

3. Look for reassurance when trying a new provider 

One reason people stay with the same internet provider is that switching can feel like a risk. 

Flip helps reduce that uncertainty with a 14-day satisfaction guarantee. 

It gives new customers an opportunity to experience the service and provides some additional peace of mind when making the move from another provider. 

Combined with no lock-in contracts, it means switching does not need to feel like a major long-term commitment. 

4. See what other customers have experienced 

Price and inclusions tell you what a provider is offering. Customer reviews can give you another perspective on what it is actually like to use the service. 

Flip has received more than 2,000 five-star customer reviews. 

For someone considering a provider they may not have used before, feedback from existing customers can provide useful reassurance alongside comparing pricing, speeds and plan conditions. 

It is always worth doing your own research and considering what matters most for your household. 

5. Compare the total value, not just the first month's price 

Finally, look at what you are paying today and what a new provider could save you over time. 

Flip's current nbn25 offer is $48 a month for the first 12 months for new customers, representing a saving of more than $200 compared with Flip's standard nbn25 pricing. 

For eligible seniors, the value continues after the introductory period with an ongoing seniors discount. 

That means you can consider both the immediate saving and what you will pay once the initial offer finishes. 

If you have not reviewed your internet provider recently, take a look at your latest bill and compare it with what is available. 

With reliable home internet, no lock-in contracts, a 14-day satisfaction guarantee, more than 2,000 five-star reviews and dedicated seniors pricing, Flip is designed to make switching straightforward.
