Being budget-conscious is getting harder and harder these days, with the cost of living going through the roof in 2026. That said, there are ways to save some cash, especially with your internet bill.
If you have never heard of Amaysim, let me introduce them to you. The telco is a budget-focused Aussie telco now owned by Optus, offering affordable postpaid mobile plans and NBN services. While it’s long offered competitive prices on its mobile offerings (it’s been in the SIM-only game since 2010), the telco’s NBN services are relatively newer – meaning deals have also been fairly rare.
As a long-time Amaysim mobile customer and Tom’s Guide’s resident NBN expert, I can confirm that there have been many times when I’ve considered switching my internet service to get an Amaysim-provided bill, but I’ve consistently found better value for my NBN plan elsewhere… until today, that is.
With its current sale, new Amaysim NBN customers will be treated to a tidy AU$30 off the price of selected plans for the first six months of service. But the telco sweetened the deal by adding an additional AU$10-off introductory offer, bringing total savings to AU$40 per month, or AU$240 in total over the first 6 months.
That brings high-speed plans like NBN 100 and NBN 500 down to just AU$50p/m for the first half year, before the price then rises to an ongoing AU$90p/m. This makes Amaysim the cheapest NBN 100 and NBN 500 provider across the 30+ Australian Telcos I monitor every month for introductory charges. Both these Amaysim plans also come with unlimited data and work on a no-lock-in contract basis.
You’ll need to act fast to secure these fantastic Amaysim deals though, as they’re set to expire Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
When it comes to simplifying your bills, Amaysim’s mobile and broadband bundle offer is also worth checking out. After the introductory discount is over, you can pay as little as AU$80p/m for these plans by bundling an Amaysim Mobile plan alongside your NBN, reducing your ongoing bill by AU$10 per month, or AU$120 per year. That would make your ongoing internet costs a total of AU$960/year, which is one of the cheapest annual costs for either NBN 100 or NBN 500.
Note though that Amaysim exclusively offers NBN services and does not provide hardware – you have to BYO modem routers, in other words. That said, if you already have an NBN service, there’s a very good chance that the modem you already have will work adequately with an Amaysim plan. Alternatively, I often recommend this Amazon eero 7 router for AU$299.99 if you want to invest in something new that can support the NBN 500’s faster download speeds.
