Before we dive into all of that, take a look at this daily updating list of cheap NBN plans from our comparison engine. The username and password combo is crucial to get online as it not only authenticates your connection with your internet provider, it’s also how your internet connection gets its all-important Internet Protocol (IP) address. IPoE is short for ‘Internet Protocol over Ethernet’, and it’s a newer network protocol than PPPoE. It’s also arguably more convenient for internet users as it doesn’t require a provider-supplied username and password to get online. Instead, it mostly uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) network server to automatically assign IP addresses to a provider’s customers. Outside of the configuration of networking equipment, which includes first-time setup or shifting to upgraded gear, there aren’t any noticeable differences between choosing a PPPoE or IPoE provider.

If you’re currently an NBN customer for any of these providers (or plan on being with one of these providers), you’ll need to use a username and password for your router or modem-router to get online. Note that if you buy a router or modem-router from your provider, including providers like Dodo and iPrimus, it should arrive preconfigured. Note that Dodo and Mate offer static IP addresses, while Exetel also offers an opt-in static IP address (via the My Exetel portal). Specific PPPoE settings vary between NBN providers for those looking for a manual router or modem-router configuration. Generally, though, the most important thing is a correct username and password supplied by your provider. Outside of this, the VLAN ID field should be left blank or disabled. You may need to contact your provider for specific MTU settings if the ‘auto’ option doesn’t work.

By default, all of the NBN providers above use DHCP to provide a dynamic IP address, except for Pennytel, which uses static IP addresses.
