Comparison Accuracy Statement
This comparison is based on information published on each provider’s website and Critical Information Summaries as of March 2026. Pricing, plans, speeds, and terms are subject to change by either provider at any time. Customers should verify current offerings directly with each provider before making a purchasing decision. Speed figures shown are maximum theoretical attainable speeds as stated by each provider. Actual speeds will vary. Skymesh’s higher speed Fixed Wireless plans (Fast and Superfast) are not available at all addresses and require nbn® network upgrades to be completed. Both providers are subject to nbn® Co’s Fair Use Policy on Fixed Wireless services.
This comparison covers nbn® Fixed Wireless plans only. iiNet also offers Home Wireless Broadband plans over the Vodafone 4G/5G mobile network, which is a different technology and not directly comparable to nbn® Fixed Wireless.

Speeds
Higher speed plans require nbn® network upgrades which are not yet complete in all areas. Some properties may need additional nbn® equipment upgrades before faster speeds are available.

Your actual speeds will vary based on many factors, including network congestion during busy periods (typically 7-11pm). We cannot tell you your actual speeds until after your service is connected and tested. Network congestion, your location, equipment, weather conditions, and time of day all impact performance.
