Well, we certainly didn\u2019t see this one coming! Just days out from the official launch of major NBN speed upgrades<\/a>, SpinTel has thrown down the gauntlet and set a new benchmark for its competitors by slashing the price of its NBN 500 plan<\/a> by a further AU$10p\/m for the first six months.<\/p>\n

The telco\u2019s 500Mbps NBN plan was already very affordable at AU$74p\/m, but now it\u2019s dropped to an insanely low AU$64p\/m for the first half-year<\/a>, it\u2019s unrivalled value. When you consider this introductory cost is lower than many of the best NBN 25 plans that are 20x slower, upgrading to SpinTel\u2019s offering is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

SpinTel is a TechRadar preferred partner (What does that mean?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

SpinTel\u2019s NBN 500 plan was one of the first to go live; it\u2019s been available since July alongside an early 750Mbps option. The telco is one of only three providers to have jumped the gun ahead of NBN Co\u2019s planned 14 September official launch date for its plan upgrades \u2013 the other two being Exetel<\/a> and Tangerine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All three options are priced competitively, and all are more affordable than the 100Mbps plans they\u2019re effectively replacing. If it\u2019s the cheapest first-year cost that\u2019s most important to you though \u2013 perhaps you want to try the service for an extended period of time to see if it\u2019s for you \u2013 then SpinTel is the clear choice, coming in at just AU$905.70 for the first 12 months. For greater context, that\u2019s nearly AU$100 less than the full-year average for an NBN 50 plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to sign up for SpinTel\u2019s 500Mbps plan, you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019re connected to the fixed-line NBN network via either fibre to the premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coax (HFC). If you\u2019re on either of these technologies, getting connected should be a seamless process. Don\u2019t have FTTP or HFC? Not to worry \u2013 you\u2019ll likely live in a suburb that\u2019s eligible for the free fibre upgrade<\/a>. You can make your order via SpinTel\u2019s site, and the telco will sort the upgrade process for you, which usually involves a technician attending your premises to install the new fibre cabling.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s still early days for NBN 500 plans, so if you\u2019re prepared to wait until this coming weekend \u2013 or early next week \u2013 we should have pricing from a wider selection of providers for comparison. We can\u2019t imagine many, if any, will be able to undercut SpinTel\u2019s new introductory rate\u2026<\/p>\n
