Amaysim might be new to selling internet plans, but it's won me over with this neat NBN 100 deal
When it launched its NBN offerings late last year, however, Amaysim skimped on providing value, with its home internet options costing above average for most speed tiers. And if you asked me at the time of their debut, I wouldn't have recommended Amaysim's NBN plans, but the telco has since introduced fresh introductory rates that have me eating my own words.
Slicing a modest AU$120 off, Amaysim's NBN 100 plan is discounted to just AU$70p/m for the first 6 months, before the price increases to AU$90p/m. Much like the best NBN 100 plans, Amaysim advertises maximum speeds of 100Mbps during the busy evening hours of 7pm to 11pm, and costs AU$23p/m less than the average for the tier — that's around AU$93p/m right now. The plan also comes with unlimited data and works on a no lock-in contract basis.
You'll need to act fast to score this epic Amaysim deal — this AU$20p/m discount will expire on July 20, 2025.
Amaysim | AU$70p/m (for 6 months, then AU$90p/m)
Don't be fooled by this slightly more expensive introductory outlay — Amaysim's 100Mbps plan is a favourable midrange option, as it's still cheaper than the average of AU$93p/m for the tier.
Do note, though, Amaysim only offers NBN services, so you'll need to supply your own modem for this plan.
Total minimum cost: AU$70 | Total cost for first year: AU$960 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,080
When comparing pricing to competitors, Amaysim's offer costs the same as Mate's 100Mbps plan (AU$60p/m for 6 months, then AU$90p/m) in the long run, once the introductory price ends. However, you could pay as little as AU$80 per month if you bundle an Amaysim mobile plan with your NBN, reducing your ongoing bill by another AU$120. This would bring your ongoing yearly costs to just AU$960 — a.k.a. the cheapest ongoing rate for any NBN 100 plan. Amaysim's postpaid plans start from AU$10p/m for 15GB data.
One thing of note is that Amaysim exclusively provides NBN services, so routers are strictly BYO, which isn't great if you're looking for an all-in-one NBN and modem package. But, if you've already got an NBN service (which you most likely do), then there's a very good chance that the modem you already have will work with this Amaysim plan. Alternatively, I do recommend this Amazon eero6+ router for AU$249.99 if you want to invest in something new.
And, Amaysim does provide new customers with a satisfaction guarantee, where if you're unhappy with the service within the first 30 days, the telco will refund you for the month. So if you're keen on giving Amaysim NBN a go, there's no time like the present to switch and save.

SpinTel just joined the 'early NBN 500' club with this super-tempting AU$74p/m 500Mbps plan
Just when I thought the NBN scene was slowly warming up, with new turbocharged speed tiers hitting shelves in September, one spicy new offering has well and truly cranked up the heat. NBN Co's planned speed boost on September 14, 2025 will multiply everyday NBN 100 plans by 5, resulting in them offering 500Mbps as standard evening speeds for around the same price. Yet, in a shock move, SpinTel has recently introduced its mega 500Mbps plan, a full seven weeks before NBN Co is set to take the stage. I've showcased SpinTel's ultracheap deals before, including its newer NBN 750 plan, but this one takes the cake. Costing just AU$74p/m for the first six months, you'll save AU$65.70 before the price increases to AU$84.95p/m. What's more, when compared to other NBN plans, this price is in line with the average costs of NBN 25 (AU$72.29p/m), but delivers nearly 20x the speeds. And, interestingly, this plan is AU$2p/m cheaper than the telco's own NBN 100 offering, supplying — you guessed it — 5x slower speeds. How mindboggling is that?! SpinTel is a Tom's Guide preferred partner (What does this mean?) SpinTel | NBN 500 | AU$74p/m (for 6 months, then AU$84.95p/m) Advertising a monstrous 500Mbps across all hours, SpinTel's latest plan will set you back AU$74p/m for the first 6 months, before increasing to AU$84.95p/m ongoing. This is a huge step for the telco, beating out other providers and NBN Co's own launch of NBN 500 plans. And, it's even cheaper than SpinTel's own NBN 100 plan, chopping AU$2 off per month. With 500Mbps downloads and 42Mbps uploads, SpinTel's Home Turbo plan is ideal for lag-free gaming, streaming and remote work, supporting 4K video calls, downloading game patches and 4K viewing simultaneously. And like other high-speed plans, you'll need an FTTP or HFC connection to order this service. Total minimum cost: AU$74 | Total first year cost: AU$953.70 | Yearly cost after discount: AU$1,019.40 Jumping the queue before the official NBN 500 rollout isn't as hard as it seems. If you've already got a fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) or hybrid fibre coaxial (HFC) connection, then you're one step closer to signing up for SpinTel's attractive plan. All you need to do is order the plan from the telco's website, and they'll sort out the rest. Existing customers can also migrate to the new plan by contacting SpinTel. If you have fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) or fibre-to-the-curb (FTTC) at home, your property could be eligible for NBN Co's free fibre upgrade. You can check your address at NBN Co's website, and order your fibre upgrade when you sign up for the plan via SpinTel. When it comes to speeds, it's hard to compare as SpinTel is one of the first of its kind. However, it's worth noting that the 500Mbps figure is theoretical and real-world speeds will likely depend on your connection type, location and time of day. But, like other budget-focused providers, SpinTel piggybacks off Optus, using the bigger telco's network to supply NBN and mobile services. According to recent ACCC data, Optus reached 103.7% of advertised plan speeds during all hours of the day and 103.0% during the busy hours. If these top results extend themselves to SpinTel, you and your internet speeds will be cruisin'. As for the hardware component of any NBN plan, SpinTel does offer modems alongside the plan for an upfront fee. SpinTel's modem bundles range from AU$139.95 to AU$419.95, and can include up to 2 mesh extenders. You can also add a VoIP phone line for free, and a 25GB mobile plan, starting from AU$14p/m (for 6 months, then AU$25p/m ongoing). So if you're peachy keen to get a head start on a new NBN 500 plan, you can check out SpinTel's Home Turbo plan on its website.

Urgent update over smartphone ‘fire risk'
An urgent update has been pushed to a range of Google phones due to the risk they could overheat and even cause fires. Product Safety Australia said incidents involving Google Pixel 6a devices have resulted in 'serious burn injuries'. A mandatory update has been pushed to a number of phones to reduce the risk, and devices only need to be updated rather than returned. The firmware update was released on 8 July, which included battery management features which mitigate the risk. Not all Pixel 6a devices are affected by the issue, and the new battery management system will be activated once affected devices reach 400 battery cycles. People whose phones are affected may be eligible for compensation from Google, and can check online to see if they can get a repair, cash payment or discount credit. The phones have been sold at major retailers across the country, including Telstra, Optus, JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks and Harvey Norman. The affected devices were sold between 16 June 2022 and 10 April 2025.

I've been using this budget-friendly cordless vacuum to suck up my dog's hair — and now it's discounted by 40% post Prime Day
Having a furry companion comes with some serious pros and cons. As a dog mum to my five-year-old rescue pup, I've been blessed with both sides of the coin. I receive endless cuddles, sloppy smooches and literal puppy-dog eyes, but at the same time, my beige couch is constantly covered in thick black fur. Thankfully, in the past month, I invested in a budget-friendly cordless vacuum that's rescued me from having to work too hard every day cleaning up the fluff — and now it's more affordable than ever. Dreame, a lesser-known brand here in Australia, has a great line of wet-dry, robot and cordless vacuum cleaners, but my saving grace is the Dreame U20. It's already remarkably affordable at AU$399.99 when at full price, but it's now discounted by 40% on Amazon, bringing it down to just AU$239.99. That's AU$160 off RRP and even more affordable than the very popular Shark IZ102 right now. Available in a gorgeous gold and beige colourway, the Dreame U20 is everything pet parents need and more, especially if you're constantly sucking up fur from your hard floors and furniture. You'd better act fast if you want to suck up these savings (pun absolutely intended) — this deal is only available on Dreame's Amazon storefront while stocks last. Knock a massive 40% off at checkout on this Dreame U20 cordless vacuum. Complete with a 100,000RPM high-speed motor, LED blue-light optic tech and up to 60 minutes runtime, this vacuum can tackle hardwood floors with ease. Plus, if you have pets, the U20 specialises in sucking up pet hair thanks to a tangle-free V-shaped brush. The Dreame U20 comes with a range of great accessories, including a combination crevice tool, a wall dock/charger and a multi-surface brush with LED blue lights that reveal hidden dust and debris. This particular attachment is paired with the extension rod for easy floor cleaning, flexible cleaning on blinds and walls, or hard-to-reach places. That's excellent value for money, even if you bought it at its RRP. My favourite attachment — and the main intrigue to the U20 — is the motorised mini brush, which clips into the main motor of the vacuum for handheld use. I particularly enjoy using this brush on my couch and decorative pillows, as it easily picks up pet hair and is extremely manoeuvrable. The aforementioned motor is also so powerful that it makes pet hair vanish in one stroke — cleaning up after my beloved pooch has never been easier. The 60-minute runtime on the device is great for most homes, and I can easily vacuum my living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms within that time. I do find that my U20 performs better on hardwood floors and tiles compared to carpets, so do keep this in mind if you're making this purchase. It's also worth noting that the U20 doesn't have an LCD screen to show battery life or time remaining before the next charge. Instead, the battery life is displayed by a small vertical light on the back of the motor, which flashes when it needs charging. The motor is capable of running at three different speed modes, indicated by three lights on the top of the vacuum. So, if you're after a budget-friendly stick vacuum, I promise you that the Dreame U20 sure is dreamy.
