Big changes come to the National Broadband Network (NBN). In less than two months, NBN CO’s planning is planning to officially roll some massive speed rises across the network – free of charge. This means that there will be a handful of new plans, led by a 500 Mbps ‘Sweet Spot’ level that will offer 5x speeds in today’s 100 Mbps plans for about the same price.
Although this news on your own is obviously pretty exciting for anyone who is interested in their internet speed, what is even more exciting is that some Australian ISPs are not waiting for NBN Co to throw Switch and that now includes Techradar-Favourite provider spintel, which has rolled its 500 MBP NBN 500 plan far ahead of NBN CO’s plan.
If you’ve been waiting for NBN 500 plans to arrive, you can now jump in line and take advantage of the increased download speeds right now – and probably too much less than you would expect.
Cost is low low low
You will be forgiven for thinking increased speeds would mean an increase in costs, but spintel by a thing or two about giving outstanding value. We evaluate Telco a lot here at Techradar and regularly recommend its low cost plans.
We can certainly show praise again as Spintel’s new Home Turbo NBN Plan has arrived at costing only AU $ 74 a month for the first six months -it’s cheaper than many NBN 25 plans offering only 1/20.
When the first six-month period ends, the plan returns to a regular running cost of AU $ 84.95 a month, which in turn is cheaper than some providers charge for 25 MBPS plans. Great value? Fields.
In addition, the initial costs are only AU $ 1 more each month than Spintel’s own NBN 100 plan, while the running costs are $ 2 cheaper each month. If your home connects via a fiber to curbs (FTTC) or fiber to the node (FTTN) connection, this pricing structure highlights the positive impact that signs up for NBN CO’s free fiber upgrade can have.
Spintel is a Techradar preferred partner (What does that mean??
Why do I need speed?
Take a moment to think about the number of connected devices you currently have at home and it will probably be much higher than you realize. The average Australian household has approximately 21 devices that need Internet access, a number that is only expected to continue to grow.
Then consider how many of these require a quick, stable connection to perform best-4K TV and movie flow, high-definition video calls for work, online games or big game file-downs and suddenly the idea of Spintel’s 500 Mbps NBN plan is less of ‘nice to have’ function and more of a necessity.
The advantage of Spintels Home -Turbo plan is not just about the faster download speeds, but the bandwidth that comes with it. The extra attic allows more devices to work on their full potential simultaneously, resulting in a consistent and delay -free experience for the whole family.
How do I upgrade?
To take advantage of Spintel’s NBN 500 plan, you must first have a fiber-to-room (FTTP) or hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) NBN connection at home. If you are not quite sure what you have, you can enter your address on Spintel’s website to find out.
If you have the connection, you can go straight ahead and get connected. If you do not, you may be able to participate in NBN Co’s free fiber upgrade program, which will involve a technician who participates in your premises to install the necessary equipment. When it is inside, you are due to and ready with a future -proof connection to seriously fast download speeds.
