Comparison scope: This page compares selected TPG and Exetel internet plans included in our comparison data, exported 7 Sep–5 Oct 2026. Exetel currently sells one home internet plan — the One Plan 500/50 — so most tiers below show a TPG plan with no Exetel equivalent on file. Exetel also sells a separate mobile eSIM plan, which isn't an internet plan and isn't included in this comparison.
TPG offers a full range of nbn speed tiers from nbn25 up to nbn1000, plus 5G Home Internet and Fibre (FTTB) plans. Exetel takes a different approach: instead of multiple speed tiers, it sells a single nbn500 plan at a fixed $80/mth, with two optional in-app features — Warp Speed, which temporarily boosts the connection to nbn1000-equivalent speeds for $1/day, and Hibernate, which temporarily reduces the connection and discounts the bill by $1/day. Exetel's One Plan is only available on nbn Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) or Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) connections; it isn't available over Fibre to the Node (FTTN) or Fibre to the Curb (FTTC) copper-based connections without an nbn fibre upgrade first.
Quick take
- At the nbn500 tier, both providers have a plan on file. TPG's regular price ($94.99/mth) is higher than Exetel's ($80/mth), and TPG's plan is currently on a discounted promo price ($74.99/mth) while Exetel's $80/mth is its regular, non-promotional price.
- TPG has plans on file at nbn25, nbn50, nbn750 and nbn1000; we don't have an Exetel plan on file at any of these tiers.
- Exetel doesn't offer multiple speed tiers. Instead, its single plan can be temporarily boosted to 1000/100 Mbps via Warp Speed ($1/day) or temporarily reduced via Hibernate (saves $1/day).
- Exetel's plan requires an nbn FTTP or HFC connection; it isn't available on FTTN/FTTC copper-based connections without a fibre upgrade. In our data, TPG's nbn500, nbn750 and nbn1000 plans are likewise listed for FTTP and HFC connections only, while TPG's nbn25 and nbn50 plans are also listed for FTTN connections.
- All 11 TPG plans included in this comparison are currently discounted. Exetel's One Plan is listed at its regular price with no current promo.
- TPG offers 5G Home Internet and Fibre (FTTB) plans; we don't have equivalent Exetel products on file in either category.

We don't have an Exetel plan on file at nbn25, nbn50, nbn750 or nbn1000.
Exetel's Warp Speed & Hibernate, explained
Exetel sells one nbn plan rather than separate speed tiers. Instead, its app lets customers temporarily change the speed of that one connection for a per-day fee or discount:
- Warp Speed temporarily increases the connection to 1000/100 Mbps (typical evening speed 860/85 Mbps) for $1 per day. It's billed for however many days it's switched on — for example, turning it on for 4 days adds $4 to that month's bill on top of the standard $80/mth.
- Hibernate temporarily reduces the connection to around 25/10 Mbps (typical evening speed 25/8.5 Mbps) and discounts the bill by $1 per day it's switched on — for example, turning it on for 2 days reduces that month's bill by $2 from the standard $80/mth.
- Both are toggled on and off in the Exetel app, and don't require a plan change or contract commitment.
TPG doesn't offer an equivalent per-day speed toggle on any plan in our database; a TPG customer wanting a different speed tier needs to change plans.
