Amaysim might be new to selling internet plans, but it's won me over with this neat NBN 100 deal

If being value-minded is your MO when it comes to your mobile plan, then you've probably heard of Amaysim. The telco is a budget-focused offshoot of Optus, and has long been known for offering inexpensive postpaid mobile plans.

When it launched its NBN offerings late last year, however, Amaysim skimped on providing value, with its home internet options costing above average for most speed tiers. And if you asked me at the time of their debut, I wouldn't have recommended Amaysim's NBN plans, but the telco has since introduced fresh introductory rates that have me eating my own words.

Slicing a modest AU$120 off, Amaysim's NBN 100 plan is discounted to just AU$70p/m for the first 6 months, before the price increases to AU$90p/m. Much like the best NBN 100 plans, Amaysim advertises maximum speeds of 100Mbps during the busy evening hours of 7pm to 11pm, and costs AU$23p/m less than the average for the tier — that's around AU$93p/m right now. The plan also comes with unlimited data and works on a no lock-in contract basis.

You'll need to act fast to score this epic Amaysim deal — this AU$20p/m discount will expire on July 20, 2025.

Amaysim | AU$70p/m

Amaysim | AU$70p/m (for 6 months, then AU$90p/m)

Don't be fooled by this slightly more expensive introductory outlay — Amaysim's 100Mbps plan is a favourable midrange option, as it's still cheaper than the average of AU$93p/m for the tier.

Do note, though, Amaysim only offers NBN services, so you'll need to supply your own modem for this plan.

Total minimum cost: AU$70 | Total cost for first year: AU$960 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,080

When comparing pricing to competitors, Amaysim's offer costs the same as Mate's 100Mbps plan (AU$60p/m for 6 months, then AU$90p/m) in the long run, once the introductory price ends. However, you could pay as little as AU$80 per month if you bundle an Amaysim mobile plan with your NBN, reducing your ongoing bill by another AU$120. This would bring your ongoing yearly costs to just AU$960 — a.k.a. the cheapest ongoing rate for any NBN 100 plan. Amaysim's postpaid plans start from AU$10p/m for 15GB data.

One thing of note is that Amaysim exclusively provides NBN services, so routers are strictly BYO, which isn't great if you're looking for an all-in-one NBN and modem package. But, if you've already got an NBN service (which you most likely do), then there's a very good chance that the modem you already have will work with this Amaysim plan. Alternatively, I do recommend this Amazon eero6+ router for AU$249.99 if you want to invest in something new.

And, Amaysim does provide new customers with a satisfaction guarantee, where if you're unhappy with the service within the first 30 days, the telco will refund you for the month. So if you're keen on giving Amaysim NBN a go, there's no time like the present to switch and save.
