Being budget-conscious is getting 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've never heard of Amaysim, let me introduce them to you. The telco is a budget-focused Aussie telco that’s now owned by Optus, offering inexpensive postpaid mobile plans and NBN services. Whilst 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 quite rare.

As a long-time Amaysim mobile customer and Tom's Guide's resident NBN expert, I can attest that there have been many times when I've considered switching my internet service to get one 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 are treated to a tidy AU$30 off the price of select plans for the first six months of service. But the telco has further 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 those 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 increases 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 cost.
