We’re no strangers to hunting down the best NBN deals but, every once in a while, something comes along that makes us want to pinch ourselves. That’s exactly what happened when we saw the most recent prices of SpinTel’s NBN 100 and NBN 250 plans via our partnership with WhistleOut.
Right now, SpinTel’s high-speed plans are the outright cheapest of all the internet service providers (ISPs) we monitor, and when compared against the plans of the country’s most prolific NBN provider, Telstra, you could save close to AU$500 each year.
Do note that in order to sign up for SpinTel’s NBN 250 plan, you will need to have either a fibre to the premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) connection at home. If you don’t, but you do have a fibre to the node or curb (FTTN/C) then you may be eligible for a free fibre upgrade as part of NBN Co’s fibre rollout initiative. SpinTel supports the upgrade program and you can get the ball rolling when you sign-up for either the 100Mbps or 250Mbps plan.
You may have also noticed SpinTel’s NBN 250 plan advertises a typical evening speed figure – the minimum speed you can expect during the busier evening hours – of 235Mbps. This is technically 15Mbps short of the theoretical maximum but in reality is unlikely to make a huge difference. Only a handful of the telcos we monitor do advertise maximum download speeds on this tier, with the cheapest being Superloop and setting you back approximately an extra AU$100 each year compared to SpinTel’s plan.
If you want even faster internet, SpinTel does offer an NBN 1000 plan (with a typical evening speed figure of 650Mbps) although it isn’t quite the cheapest. That title goes to Buddy Telco with its flat rate AU$99p/m charge.
