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.

This compact power bank will save your phone's lifespan — and it's currently 36% off in this post-Prime Day deal
If you're constantly on the go, then chances are you need to invest in one of the best power banks money can buy. But this great deal proves that you don't need to pay top dollar to ensure your phone is constantly at 100% when you're far from a power outlet. Hailing from a lesser-known brand, the INIU B6 power bank is now discounted by 36% on Amazon, down to just AU$29.99. Owning a portable charger is near critical nowadays, especially if you're commuting to and from work, school or university, or jetsetting abroad. Having a trusty portable charger will always come in handy, and this one even has some nice features that jazz it up. With a USB-C port, two USB-A ports and a large, easy-to-read display, the INIU B6 is small enough to fit inside your pocket or bag, is totally flight-safe and is extremely light, weighing just 210g. You'll need to act fast to pick this one up, though, as there's no guarantee stock will last at this price. If you're constantly on the go, be it commuting or travelling, there's no better accessory to have than a portable power bank for your devices. Our colleagues over at TechRadar give this INIU top marks in their best power banks guide, as it can fast charge your phone with its 10,000mAh battery and still have extra juice left over. TechRadar also gave this little pocket rocket a massive 5 stars in their review, as the B6 combined affordability and fast charging in one simple package. Their reviewer said that the B6 "has excellent voltage accuracy and can output 85% of its rated capacity at 20W," and comes with an added bonus of a built-in torch — though, they didn't find it to be very bright. And thanks to its 10,000mAh of power and 3A fast charging, this power bank can provide lots of juice when you're in a hurry. According to the maker, the B6 can fuel most smartphones at least twice without needing to recharge, which is great if you or your mates need an extra battery boost on your travels. The INIU B6 also acts as a phone stand, with a pull-out holder tucked away into the slim design. The B6 also comes with a great 3-year warranty, but if you're keen on draining its battery every day, or want to charge your laptop as well, you may want to consider the INIU B5, which holds more capacity for fast charging larger devices.

I've scoured Amazon for the best thocking mechanical keyboard deals I could find — here are my top 5 picks
When you're typing all day, a good mechanical keyboard is a must-have. There's just something satisfying about the key travel that only mechanical switches can provide, and the sensation of knowing your keystrokes have registered with complete certainty. Mechanical keyboards also offer a variety of switch types to match what you like. You can pick linear switches for a super smooth and quiet feel, tactile switches if you prefer a noticeable bump, or clicky switches for that audible click and bump combo. The best mechanical keyboards often feature hot-swappable switches, which is great news for enthusiasts who love to tinker and easily swap them out whenever they fancy. There's a huge selection of switches out there, each offering its own distinct sound and feel. Plus, switch sets are pretty affordable, so you can really experiment and find your perfect fit without breaking the bank. However, if you'd prefer a shortcut to typing heaven, you're in luck — I've scoured Amazon for the best deals on ready-made mechanical keyboards, narrowing down my top 5 picks based on features and value. I've also tried to provide an equal mix of thocky, clacky and silent options. You may recognise some of these brand names, while others might be new to you. Rest assured that the hobbyist mechanical keyboard community has expanded significantly in recent years, and many of these companies are run by fellow enthusiasts who, like us, are dedicated to achieving the ultimate keyboard experience. Not the most well-known brand, but Ziyou Lang's products are well-regarded by those in the hobby keyboard community due to their low cost and high-quality feel. The RK-T8 is usually priced at AU$101, but is currently reduced to just AU$59.99, along with an additional discount when you tick the 'Apply 20% coupon' box on the Amazon listing page. Just know that this keyboard is not hot-swappable and has brown tactile switches soldered onto its board. It also sports a compact 65% layout, meaning it lacks a numpad and row of function keys. Still, this price is hard to beat. Not the hugest discount ever, but still a great price to pay for the hot-swappable version of Keychron's excellent C3 Pro keyboard. This version is available with either red linear switches or brown tactile switches included, though you can swap those out for whatever you like at a later date. It sports a tenkeyless (TKL) layout (meaning everything but the numpad), shine-through double-shot ABS keycaps, and works with Mac, Windows and Linux. The Chinese keyboard brand Epomaker tends to value affordability over everything else, but this gasket-mounted keyboard is quite impressive — especially at this discounted price. In our 4.5-star review, we described the Ajazz AK820 Pro as "an absolute steal", praising its build quality and robust companion software. It's also hot-swappable, has sound-dampening foam inside and offers customisable RGB lighting with south-facing LEDs. Connects wirelessly via Bluetooth and 2.4GHz or wired via USB Type-C. If you can't live without a numpad, you may want to consider the Corsair K70 RGB Pro, a wired mechanical keyboard that's aimed at gamers. Frustratingly, the K70 RGB Pro isn't hot-swappable (unless you have a knack for desoldering and infinite patience), but you do have your choice of Cherry MX Brown (tactile), Cherry MX Red (linear) or Cherry MX Rapidfire (linear with fast actuation) switches. You also get per-key RGB lighting and PBT double-shot keycaps. We're now getting into true pro-level territory with the SteelSeries Apex Pro, which boasts magnetic Hall effect rapid-trigger switches for ultra-fast actuation and response time. Its linear OmniPoint switches also offer adjustable actuation from 0.4–3.6mm, allowing you to precisely customisable the feel and travel distance of every key. It also boasts a frame made from aircraft-grade aluminium alloy for increased durability.

I'm a coffee lover — here are 5 great discounts I've found on top-rated Breville and Nespresso machines
Now, I'm no caffeine addict, but there's no better way to start the morning than with a great cup of coffee. Arguably, it's even better if you can make it the way you like at home, with an equally great espresso machine. Don't get me wrong — some of the best espresso machines are quite the investment, often costing upwards of AU$2,000 for a fully automatic machine with integrated grinder and steam wand. That said, there are some stellar coffee machine discounts available right now, from top-rated brands Nespresso and Breville. I've compiled five great coffee machines, from capsule coffee to espresso and fully automatic, for you to peruse. So, if you're in the market for a simple one-touch coffee or a decadent latte with excellent microfoam, there's sure to be a coffee maker that'll fuel your caffeine fix. You'll need to act fast to secure your perfect cup of joe, though — these deals will expire when stocks run out. It doesn't quite match a previous low of AU$349, but this nice discount using our exclusive code BREVFUTURE10 is still rather reasonable on the Bambino Plus. This compact machine ranks third on our best coffee machines list as a budget-friendly beginner machine. You'll need to pair it with a great coffee grinder; however, you can expect some seriously gorgeous crema and effortless microfoam. Also available at Amazon for AU$527, but no matter where you buy this machine, you'll surely be impressed. While we've seen this machine for cheaper, you can't surpass the one-touch convenience of a Nespresso Vertuo Pop. Now available in this Coconut White colourway at Amazon with a complimentary coffee pod sample kit and milk frother. Also discounted in the Spicy Red colourway for just AU$244.98. Breville's Barista Touch Impress does most of the work of making a coffee for you (however you take it), with a few simple touches of the digital touchscreen. The result is a beautiful, consistently delicious coffee time after time. This isn't an all-time low price, but this is a fair price to pay for this powerhouse little unit. Yearning for more out of your current capsule coffee machine? This Nespresso Vertuo Creatista model easily blends simplicity and quality into one touch. With capsule sizes ranging from espresso to mug, and a built-in milk frother, this classy-looking machine will elevate your home coffee experience. Now discounted by a nice 41% on Amazon, Breville's Oracle espresso machine is hard to beat. This fully automatic machine has an integrated precision conical burr grinder that accurately grinds and tamps 22 grams of espresso per puck. It also takes the guesswork out of milk frothing, with a self-cleaning steam wand that ensures glossy milk every time.
