It’s been just over a month since NBN Co confirmed that it would be increasing wholesale prices on its entire plan lineup at the turn of the new financial year — which starts July 1 — and that means your NBN plan will likely receive an unwelcome hike as a result.
In fact, I’ve already spotted a few providers revealing that select plans will indeed go up in price from July 1. Superloop has announced that all plans except for its NBN 100, NBN 500 and NBN 750 options will increase by up to AU$6 a month. Aussie Broadband is following suit, with select plans increasing by as much as AU$4 a month.
To put it simply, there’s a very good chance that your current NBN plan will also increase in price when your first post-July billing cycle comes due. The best way to avoid any changes (at least for the next six months) is to switch your NBN plan to a new provider that’s offering an introductory discount.
Coincidentally, now’s a great time to be shopping for an NBN bargain, with the June EOFY sales revealing plenty of deals from a wide range of internet service providers (ISPs), including total discounts of AU$240 and some that run a full 12 months. You’ll need to hurry to take advantage though, as many of these deals expire at the end of the month. If you need some direction, below are my current top plan picks.
