The key to reducing internet costs is to remain proactive in switching providers.

NBN Co recently announced wholesale price increases scheduled for July, which will force internet service providers (ISPs) to adjust their pricing accordingly. Customers can expect notifications regarding these hikes, with reports of price increases reaching as high as AU$1.71 per month, but in many cases, ISPs will increase rates significantly more.

For instance, some companies like Exetel and Superloop have already initiated price hikes, with some plans jumping up by as much as AU$10.

A real example shared involved switching from a costly NBN 50 plan with TPG, which was on the verge of increasing monthly bills, to a faster NBN 100 plan with Spintel, now costing AU$65, compared to the previous AU$79.99.

The NBN land is filled with discrepancies in pricing which often leads to better deals than what you might expect. It’s becoming an ever easier process for consumers to switch, ensuring they secure the best prices and speeds available without the hassle of lengthy transitions.

In conclusion, staying informed and willing to change providers can lead to substantial savings over time.
