Broadband Comparison

Broadband Comparison is a listing in ShopBack Australia's Compare section, alongside Compare Electricity and Gas, Compare Solar and provider-specific listings such as Optus Broadband (Compare). Instead of taking you to one retailer's website, it opens a comparison flow where you enter your address, see home internet plans from participating providers and complete the sign-up inside the flow. ShopBack pays a fixed cashback amount per eligible sign-up, validated only after the plan has stayed continuously active for 90 days, and periodically upsizes the amount.

The ShopBack listing states that customers must keep their account and plan continuously active with the brand for at least 90 days after signing up, and that cashback is validated and credited only on completion of that period. The sign-up typically tracks as pending within two days and the overall confirmation window is around 120 days. Cancelling, letting the service lapse or moving to a non-qualifying product inside the 90 days means the pending cashback is not confirmed, so settle on the plan before you click through.

Providers run dated introductory offers on new services with end dates printed on the plan card, clustering around EOFY in June, Black Friday on 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on 30 November 2026. ShopBack separately upsizes the fixed cashback on Broadband Comparison from time to time, flagged with an Upsized badge on the listing. Because the provider discount and the ShopBack cashback change independently, compare the live plan price in the flow with the cashback on the ShopBack Broadband Comparison page on the day you sign up.

After you click through from the ShopBack Broadband Comparison page, the flow asks for your address to check which connection type and speed tiers are available, then lists plans from participating providers that you can sort by price, speed or features. Selecting a plan opens the provider's application, where you confirm the connection date, modem option and payment details and submit; the provider then connects or transfers the service. Go through ShopBack before you start and complete each step as normal to earn ShopBack Cashback on the sign-up.

Optus Broadband (Compare) and Aussie Broadband are single-provider listings in the same ShopBack Compare section: you already know who you want, click through to that provider's plan flow, and the cashback terms are that provider's. Broadband Comparison shows plans from several participating providers for your address in one place, which suits an undecided household. Each listing has its own fixed cashback amount and 90-day active rule, so compare the ShopBack pages before choosing. Only a sign-up made through the Broadband Comparison listing earns the cashback shown on that page. For a deeper look, see Aussie Broadband vs Telstra vs TPG vs Superloop NBN Plans 2026.

Both are ShopBack Compare listings with the same shape: a comparison flow across participating retailers, a fixed cashback per eligible sign-up and a rule that the account stays continuously active for 90 days before cashback confirms. The difference is the product: Compare Electricity and Gas switches your energy retailer, while Broadband Comparison switches your home internet. Each listing tracks separately, so a household moving both services should click through from each ShopBack page in turn and complete each sign-up in its own session.

Match the tier to simultaneous use rather than headline speed. NBN 25 covers a one or two person home that browses and streams in HD; NBN 50 suits two to three people streaming at once; NBN 100 is the common family tier for 4K, working from home and gaming; NBN 250 and NBN 1000 are for heavy multi-user homes on FTTP and some HFC connections. The flow filters tiers by what your address supports. The ShopBack cashback is the same fixed amount on any eligible tier, so it is worth relatively more on a cheaper plan.

Yes. Most nbn plans sold today are month to month, and the new provider usually arranges the transfer when you sign up in the flow, so you do not need to cancel first; check your current contract for exit fees or modem repayments. Introductory offers are generally for new services with that provider, so returning to one you recently left may not qualify. The ShopBack Broadband Comparison Cashback confirms once the new plan has been active for 90 days after connection.

Go through ShopBack before you sign up and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. On your phone, open Broadband Comparison from the ShopBack app and finish the application there. The sign-up shows as Pending within about two days, and the fixed Cashback amount shown on the ShopBack Broadband Comparison page confirms once the plan has been active for 90 days, within roughly 120 days overall.

Cashback is based on the plan you keep: if you cancel or change your plan, the Cashback adjusts to match. Broadband Comparison asks that the plan stays active for 90 days after connection before the Cashback confirms. If you move house during the 90 days, ask the provider to relocate the service rather than close it. Decide on the plan before you go through the ShopBack Broadband Comparison page.
