This NBN provider is offering a blisteringly fast NBN 1000 connection for just AU$85 a month, which demolishes the competiton

Just a couple of months ago I was praising Spintel for offering a very fast NBN 250 connection for AU$80 a month, which (I am somewhat sheepish to admit) was less than what I was then paying for an NBN 50 connection. That's what I get for forgetting to check in on my internet bill situation: it's something everyone should do every six months or so, to ensure they're not being extorted.

I changed, of course. But now I'm feeling slightly regretful, because Superloop has arrived with an even better deal: NBN 1000 for AU$85 a month.

That's for the first six months. After the introductory offer, the price will increase to AU$109 per month. But as most thrifty internet users in Australia know, it's best to change your provider depending on who's offering the best price at the time, because there are usually no lock-in contracts and the switching process is extremely easy: it's usually just a matter of making a phone call.

Superloop | NBN 1000 | AU$85p/m with no lock-in contract (first six months, then AU$109p/m)

Superloop | NBN 1000 | AU$85p/m with no lock-in contract (first six months, then AU$109p/m)

This is an extraordinary deal for NBN 1000, and it's actually cheaper by AU$4 compared to a similar deal offered by Superloop late last year. The average nightly download speed here is 860Mbps.

The only bad news is that you'll need to make the jump with urgency, because the deal expires on June 30. Again, switching is easy: just cancel with your current provider (you'll stay connected with them until your next billing date) and set up your new connection via the Superloop link above.

It's pretty good timing too: NBN's huge fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) roll-out has really picked up pace of late, with millions of Australians eligible for a free update. If you've been suffering with a sub-standard FTTN connection, which can't cope with speeds above 100Mbps, you should see if your address is eligible to upgrade here.

Given that Superloop's NBN 1000 deal is better than some of its competitors prices for lower speed tiers, I'd say it's worth grabbing even if you don't think you need lightning speed downloads. Why not spoil yourself for six months? If you want to see what the competition is doing, or the best prices in other speed tiers, check out the best NBN plans for gaming.
