Description:
SpintTel's NBN 500 plan was already great value, but it's now received a huge price cut just days before the official NBN 500 launch it's a no-brainer in our opinion.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Well, we certainly didnt see this one coming! Just days out from the official launch of major NBN speed upgrades , SpinTel has thrown down the gauntlet and set a new benchmark for its competitors by slashing the price of its NBN 500 plan by a further AU$10p/m for the first six months.
The telcos 500Mbps NBN plan was already very affordable at AU$74p/m, but now its dropped to an insanely low AU$64p/m for the first half-year , its unrivalled value. When you consider this introductory cost is lower than many of the best NBN 25 plans that are 20x slower, upgrading to SpinTels offering is a no-brainer.

Claiming to reach the maximum 500Mbps speeds during the busier evening hours, SpinTels NBN 500 plan should now be at the top of your wishlist following
this huge price cut. Admittedly, the ongoing cost has increased a couple of dollars since this plan was introduced back in July, but this is still sensational value for a super speedy internet plan.
AU$64 minimum cost
AU$905.70 first year cost

SpinTels NBN 500 plan was one of the first to go live; its been available since July alongside an early 750Mbps option. The telco is one of only three providers to have jumped the gun ahead of NBN Cos planned 14 September official launch date for its plan upgrades the other two being Exetel and Tangerine .
All three options are priced competitively, and all are more affordable than the 100Mbps plans theyre effectively replacing. If its the cheapest
first-year cost thats most important to you though perhaps you want to try the service for an extended period of time to see if its for you then
SpinTel is the clear choice, coming in at just AU$905.70 for the first 12 months. For greater context, thats nearly AU$100 less than the full-year average for an NBN 50 plan .
If you want to sign up for SpinTels 500Mbps plan, youll need to make sure youre connected to the fixed-line NBN network via either fibre to the
premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coax (HFC). If youre on either of these technologies, getting connected should be a seamless process. Dont have FTTP or HFC? Not to worry youll likely live in a suburb thats eligible for the free fibre upgrade . You can make your order via SpinTels site, and the telco will sort the upgrade process for you, which usually involves a technician attending your premises to install the new fibre cabling.
Of course, its still early days for NBN 500 plans, so if youre prepared to wait until this coming weekend or early next week we should have pricing from a wider selection of providers for comparison. We cant imagine many, if any, will be able to undercut SpinTels new introductory rate You might also like Australia's NBN is getting a HUGE upgrade this weekend here's how to ensure you don't miss out Want to go faster?
