Not a typo: Telstra is currently slicing 50% off its NBN plans for Black Friday

Australia's largest telecom provider, Telstra, is currently offering a Black Friday deal that slashes up to 50% off its NBN plans for the first four months. Starting from November 1, 2026, until November 30, 2026, customers can get up to AU$240 off its premium NBN plans. Two of the most popular deals include the NBN 100 and NBN 500 plans, both priced at just AU$49 per month for the initial four months, with ongoing rates of AU$99 per month. This means that customers can save AU$200 on these family-focused plans before the price increases.

The NBN 100 plan, with advertised speeds of up to 100/20 Mbps during busy evening hours, is now available for AU$49 per month for four months, after which the price jumps to AU$99 per month. Meanwhile, the NBN 500 plan, offering speeds of up to 500/40 Mbps during peak hours, is also available at AU$49 per month for four months, with the rate increasing to AU$99 per month afterward. Both plans come without a lock-in contract and include unlimited data.

However, customers must bring their own modem for either plan, although they can opt to include Telstra's Smart Modem 4 for an additional monthly fee or pay AU$360 upfront for the modem. While these enticing deals are not common for Telstra, they provide a great opportunity for customers to try the company's services at a significantly reduced rate.
