No Contract Broadband – Better Than Ever
If there’s one thing we can be immensely grateful to the NBN for, it’s the rapid rise of broadband plan offerings that are available without having to agree to a long-term contract. Not too long ago, many people would have to be permanently locked into 12- or 24-month contracts just to get connected to the internet. Those days are vanishing fast, and that’s good news for you, the customer.
It’s not too hard to see why – in the pre-NBN years, the idea of offering plans on a contract got so popular. It all started with the rather sizeable connection fee that you were up for when connecting to ADSL broadband – a fee your provider couldn’t avoid, even if they owned their own ADSL hardware at your local phone exchange.
Getting you connected meant a Telstra tech had to physically visit the exchange to make changes to your phone line, which of course came at a cost, and that was naturally passed on to the customer via their internet service of choice. But nobody likes the idea of paying a hefty up-front fee just to set up a service so they can pay someone to use it. Plans on a contract soon followed, with the promise of discounted or even free connection if you agreed to stay connected for a length of time.

The problem with contracts
There’s nothing out of the ordinary about contracts in the communications world. As anyone who’s gotten a mobile phone on a plan knows all too well, the contract is part of the reason the provider is able to provide the service in the first place. If you sign up for a broadband service that costs your provider money to connect, the only way they’re going to make that initial fee back is either by passing the cost directly on to you, or making it back over time.
All fair enough, but it doesn’t take into account the way real life works. Unlike a mobile phone contract, a broadband connection is tied to the one address. If you move house, you’re going to have no choice but to finish that contract early. And with such a large percentage of the population renting, a 2-year contract can be hard to feel good about when your lease is only for 12 months.
In the end, most providers will let you out of the contract at no penalty… if you agree to a new contract at the address you’re going to. You could end up stuck with the one provider for years, unable to switch to a better priced competitor without paying a hefty penalty.
How the NBN changed everything
Most people think of the NBN as a national network designed to improve broadband speeds via newer technology – and of course it very much is. But the NBN was also designed to do something else – to replace the monopoly-owned copper phone network with a brand new, government-owned one. And one of the little-mentioned side benefits of that was the lack of hefty connection fees for customers coming on to the network.
Now, of course that didn’t stop some providers from persisting with contract plans anyway, often just levying their own made-up “activation fee” or similar as a driver to get you to commit to a contract. But competition’s been taking care of that, and today you’ll find a huge range of plans at many and varied providers, all available without committing to a contract.
Competition has even seen no-contract plans make their way to legacy ADSL connections, so even those who are still impatiently waiting for the NBN to arrive don’t have to miss out.


Compare prices and inclusions
Even though finding a great-value broadband plan without a lock-in contract is easier than ever, it does pay to compare prices on providers’ web sites to see if there’s a difference in price or key features between the no-contract Broadband plan and the equivalent plan on a contract. As time goes on, such differences are becoming more and more rare, but they’re often still there in some form.
Some may offer an incentive to agree to a contract – such as with MyRepublic’s offer of an NBN-ready Wi-Fi modem(yours for only $1 to keep) if you go on a 12-month contract. In other cases, you’ll simply pay a little more, like with Belong internet and the $5/month price premium for no-contract plans (or as they’d prefer to put it, agree to a contract and save money!)
You have the power of choice
Aside from being greatly preferable for renters and others who have reasons for not wanting to commit to a years-long deal, no-contract plans have another major benefit – they give you control. When you sign up for a broadband provider, you’re taking a lot on trust – how good their network is, how fast their peak-hour speeds are and even how helpful their customer service is. If you’re on a no-contract plan and you find your new provider to not be up to scratch, you can switch. That’s power that consumers haven’t really had with broadband until recently, and it’s very welcome in what is becoming an extremely crowded field of new and veteran broadband providers.
And of course, the provider you choose won’t want you to get to the point of wanting to switch – so they’re more likely to make the extra effort to deliver good service, at least in theory.


Are there any risks?
The long-term contracts that so many of us are used to from broadband providers have always been there to serve one side – the provider. There’s nothing wrong with choosing a contract plan if you know you’ll be around for the full term, and in return you might get a small discount or some extras. But for many, heading straight for the no-contract plans is the most sensible decision, especially when you’re trying out a new provider for the first time.
And once you’re connected, be sure to keep an eye out for new, even better deals, as the broadband world gets more and more competitive and costs come down. Without a contract to tie you down, you’ll now have the power to compare, switch and save even more money in the process.
