NBN plan prices appear to change on what can feel like a daily basis, which can understandably be annoying if you’re thinking of switching your current plan, but are unsure whether to make the switch today or hold off in case a better deal comes along.

I monitor NBN plan prices and typical evening speed claims regularly, so I feel I have a better understanding than most to make confident recommendations for plans that are not only worth signing up for today, but that are unlikely to be bettered anytime soon.

With this in mind, I’ve listed my current favourite NBN plan picks below, catering to a variety of speed and budget needs. While they might not all be the cheapest NBN plans available, they get my seal of approval, thanks to their overall value.

So, without further ado…

Kogan Internet Gold Plus | NBN 500 / 500Mbps TES | AU$71.90p/m

Kogan Internet Gold Plus | NBN 500 / 500Mbps TES | AU$71.90p/m (first 12 months, then AU$85.90p/m)

Ok, so I am going to start with a plan that lays claim to being the cheapest in its field — Kogan Internet’s NBN 500 offering. It promises maximum plan speeds during the busier evening hours and, thanks to a generous (and rare) 12-month discount, is by far and away the cheapest provider on this tier.

• AU$71.90 minimum cost
• AU$862.80 first year cost
• AU$1,030.80 ongoing yearly cost

Spintel | NBN 25 / 25Mbps TES | AU$39p/m

Spintel | NBN 25 / 25Mbps TES | AU$39p/m (first 6 months, then AU$86.95p/m)

Here's another one that’s the cheapest in its class — Spintel’s NBN 25 plan. Not only is this the cheapest option over the first 12 months for 25Mbps internet, but it also lays claim to having the cheapest introductory cost of any provider I monitor at an insanely low AU$39p/m. It’s no wonder Spintel took home the Award for best budget provider in our recent TechRadar Australian PC Awards, really.

• AU$39 minimum cost
• AU$623.70 first year cost
• AU$779.40 ongoing yearly cost

Superloop| NBN 1000 / 860Mbps TES |AU$85p/m

Superloop | NBN 1000 / 860Mbps TES | AU$85p/m (first 6 months, then AU$109p/m)

I did try searching for a more value-rich NBN 1000 plan other than this offering from Superloop, but no luck! There’s simply nothing better in my opinion if you’re seeking truly fast download speeds. And, not only is it a great option for households with high internet usage demands, it continues to be a great option for gamers, based on download speed data provided by Steam. What’s more, it’s one of the most affordable, with an AU$85 introductory price that's the lowest among providers.

• AU$85 minimum cost
• AU$1,164 first year cost
• AU$1,308 ongoing yearly cost
