About Belong
Belong is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telstra, launched in 2013 as a digital-first, budget-friendly alternative to the Telstra main brand. Belong offers NBN broadband plans at significantly lower prices than Telstra while still leveraging Telstra's extensive network infrastructure and backhaul capacity. The brand targets younger, digitally savvy customers who want reliable broadband without paying Telstra's premium prices. Belong's plans are simple and straightforward — no bundling complexity, no lock-in contracts, and everything is managed through their app and online portal. Belong delivers solid NBN performance across standard speed tiers, benefiting from Telstra's network investment. While you don't get Telstra's premium features like 4G backup or Smart Modem, the trade-off is substantially lower monthly costs on a network you can trust.
