The Cheapest NBN Plans You Can Buy Today
Smart Aussies know not to take the first NBN plan that comes along. We all know there are deals out there. But who has the time to hunt them down?
The greatest deals can be the hardest to find. That’s why we sat down this week and rounded up the best and cheapest NBN plans for savvy Australians. Don’t pay more than you have to. These plans will save you hundreds of dollars a year, maybe thousands in the long-term. And they’re available to connect your home today.
Cheapest NBN 12 plans
We’re hearing a lot these days about the super fast speeds you can get on the NBN. But the reality is, many of us are happy enough with the speeds we get now on ADSL. If that’s you, then cut out the razzle dazzle and choose an NBN 12 plan, also known as Basic speed. It’ll do you just fine for surfing the web, Facebook and even Netflix. And depending on how much data you need, you can get a plan for as little as $40 per month.
These plans are best suited to households of up to two people.
Cheapest NBN 50 plans
Of course, plenty of us do need a connection with more oomph, but higher speeds don’t need to hurt your wallet. NBN 50 plans, also known as Standard Plus speed, should satisfy a family of four heavy internet users and they can do it for as little as $50 per month. With these plans you’ll be able to binge all the Netflix, play all the games, Skype across the globe or do all three at the same time. (Although if you’re going to do all that on a regular basis, pay $5-$10 extra for unlimited data.)
Cheapest NBN 100 plans
There are two reasons why you’d choose an NBN 100 plan: you have a large family of heavy internet users (I’m talking four people or more) or you regularly download or upload large files. NBN 100 is known as Premium speed for a reason. It’s not exactly cheap, but there are still plenty of savings to be had. For as little as $70 per month (or $77 if you want unlimited data) you can get the lightning fast download and upload speeds of NBN 100. With these plans, your family will never see the dreaded buffer wheel again.
