Telstra slashes AU$40 per month off its NBN 250 and NBN 1000 plans

For those seeking some truly high-speed internet, Telstra has offered up two particularly tasty deals on its Superfast NBN 250 and Ultrafast NBN 1000 plans, with each getting a solid introductory offer.

For new sign-ups to either plan, you'll get a AU$40 discount on your monthly bill for the first six months, saving you AU$240 before the plans revert to their regular price. You'll also get three free months of Binge Standard and your AU$99 setup fee waived.

It's worth noting that the regular pricing (AU$140p/m for NBN 250, and AU$180p/m for NBN 1000) is rather high compared with the competition, but it's a great way for those planning on going with Telstra for their high-peed plan to save some extra dosh regardless.

With no lock-in contract, you can jump ship after the first half-year and go with a different telco that has their own introductory offer (Tangerine's NBN 250 plan is AU$94.90 for six months, then AU$109.90), but you'll have to pay out the remaining value of the included Telstra Smart Modem (AU$216 total) if you don't stay for 24 months.

NBN 250 | Unlimited data | AU$100p/m (for first six months, then AU$140p/m)

For the same introductory price as Telstra's NBN 100 offering, you can upgrade to the telco's Superfast plan and get typical evening download speeds of 230Mbps. You'll also score a bonus three month subscription to Binge Standard at no additional cost, and have the AU$99 connection fee waived. Telstra's Smart Modem with 4G backup is included at no cost, so long as you stay connected for 24 months.

Total minimum cost is AU$316 (including AU$216 modem)
