For most Australians these days, internet access is essential — making your monthly bill an unavoidable cost. And unfortunately, access to the NBN is about to become more expensive for most plans.

NBN Co has announced that there’ll be a new wholesale pricing structure for the next financial year — meaning prices for providers are going up. Some providers have already started passing on those costs by hiking the prices of their NBN plans — and more are expected to follow suit come July 1.

The proposed changes introduce price increases for all NBN speed tiers, from 25Mbps to 1,000Mbps and plans are expected to rise by around $2 to $3 per month, which should equate to around $5 for consumers.

If you’re worried about increasing prices and want to maximise your savings, now is the time to look at switching plans and securing an introductory discount. Luckily, being EOFY, there are quite a few NBN providers with compelling deals at the moment, including, Swoop, Superloop and Tangerine Telecom.

Signing up to one of these deals will lock in a discounted price for the first 6 months, meaning that you can at least delay the price increase for a while.

To help you find a good deal that will save you some extra cash, we’ve rounded up four great plans at popular speeds with limited-time offers that are worth jumping on.

NBN 25

Tangerine | NBN 25 | Unlimited data | $49.90p/m (for first 6 months, then $64.90p/m)

NBN 25 is the slowest speed tier available and is suitable for small households or individuals who don’t have heavy data or speed requirements. If you think an NBN 25 plan is right for you, Tangerine Telecom's NBN 25 will save you $15 per month for the first 6 months. For less than $50 per month for the first half year, you'll theoretically achieve typical evening speeds of 25Mbps/8.5Mbps.

Total minimum cost: $49.90 | Total cost for first 12 months: $688.80 | Yearly cost after discount: $778.80

NBN 50

Tangerine | NBN 50 | Unlimited data | $59.90p/m (for first 6 months, then $79.90p/m)

NBN 50 is the most popular NBN speed tier and is suitable for medium-sized households who engage in moderate to high internet usage. If you’re after an NBN 50 plan, you can save $20 per month for the first 6 months with this Tangerine Telecom NBN 50 plan, which is a total saving of $120. This plan comes with unlimited data and 50/17Mbps typical evening speeds.

If you have a very large household or have multiple people who require superfast internet for things such as 4K streaming on multiple devices or online gaming, you may need a 250Mbps plan. NBN 250 plans can be quite expensive so it is definitely worth looking for a plan with an introductory discount so you can save some money over the first few months. This NBN 250 plan from Superloop offers a discount of $14 per month for the first 6 months. This plan also comes with unlimited data and typical evening speeds of 230/21Mbps.
