The table above shows that the cheapest deals in many cases are available through the mobile providers, though the speed of these connections and amount of data accessible will often explain the lower prices. Prices in Australia continue to be extremely competitive though and there is a wide range of providers, so there will be a cost-effective option available to suit you whatever your requirements.
Tip: Although there are a host of cheap broadband deals available, CheaperOption would recommend a minimum speed of 1Mb and minimum data capacity of 1Gb for most internet users. Typically, this should allow you to enjoy music and film on your PC as well keeping up to date with your emails and message boards.
