You can get Aussie Broadband’s top-rated NBN for free right now

At any given time, there are dozens of NBN deals floating around, but it's not every day that one of the major players dips its feet in the promo pond. Aussie Broadband, the uber-popular internet provider, hasn't just dipped its feet in. No, it's dived headfirst, serving up one of the best deals we've seen in a long time - a whole month of free internet.

Aussie Broadband consistently ranks among the most popular providers on WhistleOut's comparison engine, is one of the fastest according to the ACCC, and one of the highest-rated according to ProductReview (not to mention scoring a five-star rating from us right here at Reviews.org Australia).

While Aussie Broadband isn't typically the most budget-friendly option, the free first month deal does bring it closer in line with competitive six-month NBN pricing discounts. That said, there are even better deals to be had in the long run with providers like SpinTel, Tangerine and Superloop, all of which come in under $55 per month for the first six months. 

Opting for SpinTel, for example, will cost you about $324 over the first six months. Even with Aussie Broadband's free first month, you'll end up paying a total of $395 over the first six months.

Still, it's a fantastic deal from one of the country's best providers, and if you're not happy with your service, you can jump ship before the 30 days are up without paying a cent, as all of Aussie's plans are contract-free.
