Origin Broadband plans and prices

Origin offers broadband plans on the National Broadband Network via fixed line (FTTP/FTTN/HFC) and NBN Fixed Wireless connections. 

As is always the case with the NBN, the technology available depends entirely on your address and the rollout style in your area.

Origin splits its broadband plans between tiers it refers to as “NBN” and “Faster NBN”, though these do just correlate to the basic NBN speed tiers you’ll find from every other provider.

At the entry level, that’s what Origin calls “Everyday NBN 25” (25Mbps/10Mbps), stepping up to “Experience NBN 50” (50Mbps/20Mbps) and “Enthusiast NBN 100” (100Mbps/20Mbps) for the NBN speed tiers, and then “Enthusiast+” (100Mbps/40Mbps), Super Fast NBN 250 (250Mbps/21Mbps) and Ultra Fast NBN 1000 (1000Mbps/50Mbps). 

Origin customers with energy plans can get any of these plans with a $10 per month discount for being an Origin customer. Other bonuses include 20,000 Everyday Rewards points at any plan tier and a 12-month bonus subscription to Paramount Plus if you’re a new customer.

For comparison, below are the most popular fixed-line NBN plans from our comparison engine.

If the NBN service available in your area is fixed wireless, Origin offers just the one plan at the Fixed Wireless NBN 75 tier with unlimited data inclusions. As with its fixed line NBN plans, you’ll score a $10/month discount if you’re an Origin energy customer, as well as 20,000 Everyday Rewards points and a 12 month Paramount+ subscription if you’re a new customer.

If you’re in a building or area covered by the Opticomm network, Origin also offers plans at slightly lower prices but the same identical speed tiers and plan names as its fixed line NBN plans.

So you start with “Everyday Fibre 25” (25Mbps/10Mbps), then “Experience Fibre 50” (50Mbps/20Mbps) and “Enthusiast Fibre 100” (100Mbps/20Mbps) for its standard Opticomm speed tiers, stepping up in “Enthusiast+ Fibre” (100Mbps/40Mbps), Super Fast Fibre 250 (250Mbps/21Mbps) and finally Ultra Fast Fibre 1000 (1000Mbps/50Mbps). 

As with its NBN plans, you can slice $10/month off your plan pricing if you bundle with Origin Energy services, and new customers can also score 20,000 Everyday Rewards points and a 12 month complimentary Paramount+ subscription with any Opticomm broadband plan.

Beyond the price bundling discount and upfront free rewards points and subscriptions, Origin’s broadband plans are largely bare-bones, operating on a “no lock-in contract” term – AKA monthly rollover, much as with other broadband providers – and a 30 day money back guarantee.

While it does offer Opticomm plans if you’re in that smaller footprint, the vast majority of eligible customers are likely to be looking at its NBN plans, and here it’s always a smart move to check for the best value NBN plans for your needs.
