If you aren't currently an Origin Broadband customer after the two months free deal then you might like to jump on this.
I spotted this deal thanks to the comment on the Anonymous Deal page.
Join Origin for your internet and energy and receive $200 credit over the first six months.
If you weren't already aware Origin Broadband is whitelabelled Aussie Broadband. It's the same tech backend and customer support but at this stage there's no customer portal. Usually Origin prices are slightly higher than Aussie but with the bundle they're actually slightly cheaper, see the table below for Origin nbn prices.
Energy costs vary across the country so make sure it's not significantly more expensive to change retailers.
If you do become a new Origin Energy customer then you can combine this deal with some cashback - $70 for electricity, $42 for gas or $112 for both.
- The Internet and energy bundle offer (Offer) is available to new Origin internet residential customers who sign up direct with Origin online at originenergy.com.au/internet/bundle-offer to any nbn™ or Opticomm fibre plan between 9am EST on 23 May 2022 and 11:59pm EST on 6 June 2022 (Offer Period).
- If you sign up during the Offer Period, you will receive up to a $200 credit on your Origin electricity, natural gas or bulk hot water account (as applicable). If you have more than one fuel with us the credit will be applied on your electricity account. $100 credit will be applied approximately 3 months after you sign up, soon or after 23 August and another $100 credit will be applied approximately 6 months after you sign up, soon or after 23 November 2022.
- The offer is available to existing and new Origin electricity, natural gas and bulk hot water customers.
- You must still be an active internet and electricity, natural gas or bulk hot water customer at the time the credits are due to be applied. If you terminate your internet or energy plan before the credits are due to be applied in accordance with clause 2 above, you will not be eligible for any credits. For example, if you terminate your internet plan in October, you will only be eligible for a $100 credit. Credits can only be applied to active accounts.
- The Offer is available in conjunction with the $10 monthly internet bundle discount as long as you remain an active Origin energy and internet customer. See full terms for the bundle offer at originenergy.com.au/internet
Emphasis mine.
Example NBN plans:
| Plan | Speed | Discounted Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday | 25/10 | $64/month |
| Experience | 50/20 | $74/month |
| Enthusiast | 100/20 | $94/month |
| Enthusiast+ | 100/40 | $104/month |
| Super fast | 250/25 | $124/month |
| Ultra fast | 1000/50 | $144/month |
It's $20 per month more expensive than other providers in the first 6 months (at least on a 50/20 plan) so this is actually a total of $80 credit.
It's still better than nothing I guess.
