NBN 1000 plans are now cheaper than ever — these 4 plans prove why you should switch

Spintel | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$95p/m (for 6 months, then AU$105.95p/m) 

Right off the bat, this is currently the cheapest NBN 1000 plan we've found, as it continues to stay under the average price of AU$121.51 after any introductory offers end — which is a big win in our books. That said, this plan doesn't quite reach the fastest theoretical speeds on this tier, as it only advertises 650Mbps during the busy evening hours. 

However, that doesn't discredit the plan entirely, as 650Mbps is more than enough speed for any heavy internet user or large household with multiple devices. Plus the telco has garnered some stellar online customer reviews, namely for great service and easy setup. 

Total minimum cost: AU$95 | Total cost for first 12 months: AU$1,205.70 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,271.40

Superloop | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$99p/m (for 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

Superloop's NBN 1000 plan has been one of our top picks for some time now — and for good reason. Advertising a massive 811Mbps during the busy evening hours, this plan ranks second highest in speed claims for this tier, just trailing behind Swoop's 969Mbps. 

Much like Spintel above, Superloop's price here is a clear winner for us. Costing AU$99p/m for the first six months, the plan is on par with most NBN 250 plans, but with near-quadruple speeds. Plus, even its ongoing cost of AU$109p/m is well under the NBN 1000 average too. 

Total minimum cost: AU$99 | Total cost for first 12 months: AU$1,248 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,308

TPG | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$104.99p/m 

This deal from TPG has stuck under the radar for quite some time now. Back in March, the telco cut this plan by a massive AU$40, bringing the ongoing cost down to a modest AU$104.99p/m — again, this is rather incredible as this cut stems from a major telco. Also, it'll only cost you AU$1259.88 each year, which is great for budgeting and you'll never have to worry about your plan increasing after the first 6 months are up. 

With advertised speeds of 800Mbps during the busy evening hours, you'll have oodles of internet to peruse online shops, stream, or game til your heart's content. Like other NBN 1000 offerings, this plan is only available for customers with HFC and FTTP addresses. 

TPG is offering a Price Beat Guarantee on plans over 100Mbps, meaning that they'll beat prices on plans like this one for 12 months from eligible providers. It does have some caveats though, so do check out the T&Cs before signing up.

Total minimum cost: AU$104.99 | Yearly cost: AU$1,259.88

Swoop | NBN 1000 | Unlimited data | No lock-in contract | AU$119p/m using the code WHISTLE20 (for 6 months, then AU$139p/m)

Swoop's Home Ultrafast plan is the fastest internet available in Australia, claiming a flabbergasting 969Mbps download speeds during the typical evening hours of 7pm to 11pm. Do note though, that this plan is only available for FTTP addresses. That said, it is the most expensive deal on this roundup, especially after initial discounts end. 

With an ongoing cost of AU$139p/m, this plan is definitely one of the pricer options. When compared to Superloop above, if you break down the costs, you'll save an extra AU$180 over the first year, and AU$360 ongoing if you sign up to Superloop, but you'll sacrifice an additional 158Mbps. So if you have the budget and require a touch more speed, then Swoop is your best choice. 

Total minimum cost: AU$119 | Total cost of first 12 months: AU$1,548 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,668
