Bundling a Pay TV or streaming service subscription into your NBN internet or mobile bill can be a great way to save money on your monthly expenses, and all three of Australia's biggest providers have something to offer when it comes to TV and internet bundles.
- : Telstra Xbox All Access and Binge
- : Telstra Foxtel package
- : Optus Internet Family Entertainer + Netflix Standard
- : Vodafone NBN and mobile bundle
- : A cheap NBN plan and the streaming service of your choice
No one provider has it all, but Telstra, Vodafone and Optus customers all have the chance to get a little bit more for their money if they sign up for the right plan.
Our current pick for the best overall internet and TV bundle is Telstra's Xbox All Access deal. Even for more casual gamers, the value proposition is pretty overwhelming. You get internet, you get an Xbox, you get a modem, and you get a subscription to Games Pass Ultimate.
Best Internet and TV bundle overall
Telstra Xbox All Access
Telstra's Xbox All Access deal is by far the best broadband bundle you can get in Australia. It gets you an Xbox console of your choice (Xbox One S, Series S or Series X), Telstra's Smart Modem 3 with 4G backup, unlimited home broadband data, and access to Game Pass Ultimate (typically $15.95 per month).
It's great value and nets you everything you need for your home broadband connection, your streaming needs, and gaming essentials. Here's the breakdown of what's included:
- From $113 per month($80 broadband fee + $33 Xbox Series S subscription)
- Unlimited data
- Basic II NBN Speeds (25Mbps)
- Telstra Smart Modem 3 with 4G backup
- Xbox Series S console ($499 RRP), or
- Xbox Series X console ($749 RRP)
- Game Pass Ultimate subscription ($15.95 per month): Access to a library of 100+ Xbox games
The example we've given above uses the Telstra Upfront Basic Internet Plan ($80 per month) and the Xbox Series S ($33 per month) as an example but you can bundle any Telstra plan (be it internet or mobile) with either Xbox All Access subscription.
Here's how much each Xbox console will cost you every month if you choose to bundle it with a plan, followed by a handful of eligible Telstra broadband plans.

Best Foxtel and NBN bundle
Telstra TV + Standard Speed with Foxtel
If you're looking to bundle Foxtel with your NBN, Telstra is a simple option.
At time of writing, Telstra customers can get Foxtel plans cheaper than Foxtel itself is selling them in some cases, but not in all.
For example, Foxtel's Platinum Plus package is discounted to $99 per month on Telstra. Meanwhile, Foxtel charges $140 per month on a no lock-in plan, but you can get it for $94 per month on a 12-month contract.
While Telstra's discounts only last for your first year, its Foxtel plans are all lock-in and setup fee free. If you want to leave at any time, you'll simply just need to return your hardware.
Foxtel with Telstra packages
Here's a small selection of the NBN plans that Telstra lets you bundle Foxtel with.
If you're looking to try Foxtel without bundling or the need for any hardware, Foxtel Now subscriptions start at $25 per month. You can also get a 10-day free trial.
Foxtel does offer its own Foxtel Internet plans, that start at $124 per month for an NBN 50 plan with a Foxtel Plus bundle. Plans get even more expensive as you step up in Foxtel tiers. Foxtel NBN plans are bundled with a Foxtel package - you can't get NBN from Foxtel without paying for Foxtel pay TV too. There's also a one-off $140 modem fee.
That being said, Foxtel's NBN 50 plan is $20 per month cheaper than Telstra's. Foxtel does however only offer NBN 50 plans - you'll need to look elsewhere for faster options.
The best Optus bundle
Optus Internet Family Entertainer + Netflix Standard
The Optus NBN $99 Internet Family Entertainer plan (currently discounted to $79 per month for your first six months) gets you a standard Netflix subscription as part of the offer. You can also get Optus Sport for $6.99 per month extra, which is a big discount compared to the full price of $24.99.
In addition, you'll also get the Optus Optus Ultra WiFi modem with 4G backup and an Optus WiFi Booster. Just be aware that if you leave in your first 36 months, you'll be stung with hardware fees. These are equivalent to $13 for each month in your three-year term.
This streaming bundle deal is configured on the NBN 50 speed tier, but the offer is also available on NBN 100, NBN 250, and NBN 1000 plans. Here is Optus' full range of NBN plans:
The best bundle for families
Vodafone Bundle and Save discounts for NBN and mobile
If you're not looking for any bundled entertainment, you can still save some cash on Vodafone. All Vodafone mobile customers can save $15 per month on any Vodafone NBN plan.
If you're hoping to get a modem from Vodafone, it will set you back an extra $5 per month. You'll also pay an early exit fee if you leave within your first 24 months. This is equivalent to $7.50 for each month left in your two-year term.
In addition, Vodafone mobile customers can also save on their total mobile bill by adding on extra services. You'll save 5% on your total mobile bill for each postpaid service on your account after the first, up to a maximum of 20%.
This includes mobile, SIM-only, mobile broadband, and tablet plans. The discount doesn't apply to device repayments, however.
Here are Vodafone's postpaid SIM-only mobile plans. These can also be paired with a new phone.
What’s the best bundle for sports fans?
There isn't one. Get a cheap NBN plan instead.
While Optus used to offer Optus Sport to all customers for free, those days are over. Instead, Optus customers pay $6.99 per month, which is still a discount compared to the $24.99 non-customers pay.
Similarly, all Telstra customers could previously get a discount on Kayo. Now, this is only available to customers with Silver or Gold Telstra Plus status. If you've already got Gold, paying just $12.50 per month for Kayo for your first year is a nice perk, but it's not worth signing up to Telstra for.
As such, we'd just recommend getting a cheap NBN plan, and using the savings to pay for your favourite sports streaming service. There's nothing too exciting happening with sports streaming bundles right now.
If you're willing to swap providers every six months, you can further maximise your savings. Many providers offer discounts to new customers for your first six months, and these plans all tend to be contract free. As such, you can keep jumping from deal to deal to get the best bang for your buck.

How to choose the best TV and Internet Bundles and Packages provider
If you're looking to save money by bundling together your internet package with your streaming subscriptions, the best place to start is by doing an audit of your monthly expenses. This should give you a good sense of where your money is currently going.
Once you've done that, you should be ready to start thinking more about which subscriptions you can ditch and which you'll want to keep. If you've been watching nothing but Netflix for the last three months, then maybe it's time to let that Binge membership lapse.
After you've worked out which subscriptions you want to keep, the next step is to investigate whether any of Australia's internet providers offer savings on those subscription services. If they do, it might be time to start thinking about leaving your current provider and start saving more money each month by bundling.
However, before you do anything, it's always worth reading the fine print and making sure you know exactly what you're getting and are aware of any hardware or leaving fees that may come into effect if you look to switch up your current choice of internet provider.
How we chose the best TV and Internet Bundles and Packages
When it came to choosing the best TV and internet bundles and entertainment packages, we tended to preference volume over exclusivity. However, this wasn't the only or most important factor. We also took a look at the quality of service offered by the provider in question and whether or not the internet service that tied together the bundle was itself competitive in the current climate.
TV and Internet Bundles and Packages FAQs
So long as you're happy to pay the premium that comes with pay TV in the first place, bundling together services like Foxtel and Fetch with your internet can be a great way to squeeze a little bit of extra savings into your monthly spend.
Unfortunately not. Foxtel is part-owned by Telstra, so naturally there's no chance they would offer Foxtel bundles for the competition.
Telstra TV is a set-top box from Telstra. It can access popular streaming apps such as Netflix, Stan, Binge, and Disney+.
