I don’t think twice before spending AU$70 on a Steam sale or on two delivered gourmet pizzas, but it annoys me that I have to pay for utilities. Internet should be free anyway (how else can corporations extract our lucrative private data?). But right now I have to pay for it, and it’s my mission is to pay as little as possible.
Since my six-month introductory offer with Spintel has drawn to a close (admittedly months ago—I’m getting lazy), I’ve been shopping around again. This time I’m just looking for the absolute cheapest—prestige of the brand be damned—and one I can set and forget for a while.
That’s a damn, damn good price for a full year of NBN 500.
Let’s just say you’re shopping around and notice that Origin is offering NBN 500 for AU$53.50 a month. It seems good on the surface, but that’s a six-month introductory offer, after which time the price rises to AU$107, resulting in a yearly total of AU$963.
Sure, you can use Origin for six months, for example, and move on. If you have the dedication to do, I highly recommend you do. But I’ve found myself far less inclined to hop around than I had hoped, making Kogan’s deal damn fine for me.
Here’s how Kogan compares with other providers on the cheaper end of the spectrum:

As always, NBN 500 requires a FTTP or HFC connection. If you’re still on FTTN, check your upgrade eligibility on the NBN website.
