If you've been considering changing your NBN plan to one that's more affordable or perhaps even faster than what you currently have, now's the
time to shop around.

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, Ive 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, theres 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 thats offering an introductory discount.

Coincidentally, nows 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. Youll 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. Kogan Internet Gold Plus | NBN 500 / 500Mbps TES | AU$69.90p/m (first 12 months, then AU$85.90p/m)

The easiest recommendation I can make in the wake of the planned price hikes is this 500Mbps offering from Kogan Internet. Thats because this plan, like all Kogan Internet plans, offers a mammoth 12-month discount one of only two telcos Ive seen currently doing so. That means you can essentially avoid the price hike for an entire year, while also locking an exceptionally low price for a nicely speedy plan.

AU$69.90 minimum cost AU$838.80 first year cost AU$1,030.80 ongoing
yearly cost View Deal Superloop | NBN 1000 / 860Mbps TES | AU$79p/m (first 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

Superloop has confirmed this plan will see its ongoing cost increase to AU$114p/m from July 1. Not only can you avoid that for a few months thanks to the introductory rate of AU$79p/m, but you can also activate the telcos PriceLock feature that will keep the AU$109p/m fee in place for 24 months.
Its a slightly sneaky yet savvy way to secure a seriously fast plan for less.

AU$79 minimum cost AU$1,128 first year cost AU$1,308 ongoing yearly cost View Deal Origin Energy Enthusiast | NBN 500 / 500Mbps TES | AU$56p/m (first
6 months, then AU$112p/m)

Origin Energy has an appealing deal live right now that saves you 50% on plan fees for the first 6 months (across all its NBN plans). In the case of NBN
500 (or NBN 100 for those on FTTN/C) it brings the price down to just AU$56p/m, by far the lowest for either tier. However, theres no ignoring the fact that the ongoing cost is among the most expensive, so Id encourage you
to switch once your six months are up.

AU$56 minimum cost AU$1,008 first year cost AU$1,344 ongoing yearly cost View Deal Spintel | NBN 25 / 25Mbps | AU$39p/m (first 6 months, then AU$64.95p/m) If you dont need all the bells and whistles of a high-speed NBN plan, then this NBN 25 deal from Spintel is an unrivalled choice. Promising maximum plan speeds for the very low price of AU$39p/m (first 6 months), its the most affordable route to NBN internet access. Do note, Spintel has confirmed this offer will end June 30 (any price increases are to be confirmed). AU$39 minimum cost AU$623.70 first year cost AU$779.40 ongoing yearly cost View Deal Exetel One | 500Mbps | AU$80p/m

This plan from Exetel isnt subject to any EOFY deals or discounts, but its priced so well I had to include it. Its the only plan Exetel offers, and
while it might not be the outright cheapest in the first year of service,
it's the only one to charge under AU$1,000 from year two. On top of its promise of maximum download speeds during the busy evening hours, the most recent ACCC data (published June 17) found it consistently overdelivered on speed claims, giving you extra bang for your buck. Plus, you have the option of boosting your speed to NBN 1000 (860Mbps typical evening download speed) further for AU$1 a day.
