Amaysim’s AU$30 NBN 25 plan intro cost is so cheap, I had to do a double take

Amaysim, the Aussie telco owned by Optus, has unveiled jaw-dropping discounts on its NBN plans that have me utterly gobsmacked. With the NBN 25 plan priced at a mere AU$30 per month for the first six months, it sets a record for the lowest introductory cost among all NBN providers. This wildly affordable rate guarantees speeds up to 25Mbps and is a steal compared to the steep price tags normally associated with internet deals.

To put it into perspective, this six-month introductory offer starts at an affordable AU$30 per month, but once the period ends, the ongoing cost rises to AU$70 per month. Although this price is competitive within its tier, it's still AU$7 less than the current average of AU$77. However, if you bundle an Amaysim SIM plan, you can slash an extra AU$10 off your bill monthly during this period.

While it's true that other providers, such as Flip and Kogan Internet, offer cheaper NBN plans during their introductory periods, Amaysim's NBN 25 plan still manages to undercut the competition. If you plan on switching providers after the six-month intro period, you could save a considerable amount of money.

Amaysim's other NBN offers include the NBN 500 plan, which drops its introductory cost to AU$50 per month, making it the cheapest in its tier. The AU$90 ongoing cost brings the total first-year expense to within spitting distance of the cheapest first-year price offered by Kogan Internet. The NBN 750 plan, meanwhile, boasts the lowest introductory cost of AU$60 per month and remains the cheapest for the first year when combined with its AU$100 ongoing cost.

However, it's worth noting that the NBN 750 plan's maximum plan speeds only reach 680Mbps, which is a tad slower than the Spintel plan at AU$69 per month for the first six months, followed by AU$94.95 for the next six months.
