Is your current NBN service not living up to expectation? Do you like free things? If you answered yes to both of these questions, then Buddy Telco's current offer of one-month of free NBN is for you, but you'll need to hurry, it expires at 11.59pm AEST on Sunday, 31 August.
Buddy Telco's offer coincides with its first birthday, having launched as a more budget-friendly offshoot of Aussie Broadband in July 2025. Since then, it's offered nothing but great value and regularly appears in my guide to the best NBN plans.
The offer of a month of free NBN applies to all of Buddy’s plans when you use the code FIRSTMONTHFREE – the telco has options from 25Mbps through to 1,000Mbps – but it’s the NBN 50 and NBN 1000 plans that have caught my attention in particular.
How so? Firstly, with the discount applied, Buddy’s NBN 50 plan becomes the outright cheapest available right now at just AU$825 for the first year. The telco was already the cheapest during each ongoing year of all the providers I monitor, and that continues to be the case.
As for Buddy’s NBN 1000 plan, again, it already provides great value at just AU$99 a month. Now with a AU$99 saving applied, it represents astonishingly good value, considering the impressive 875Mbps download speed claim. One of the fastest NBN plans for one of the lowest prices? You can’t say no to that.
Buddy Telco also offers a NBN 25 and a NBN 100 plan, and you can compare all the available plans in the price comparison widget below. Please note that the widget doesn't mention the offer, but when you click through, you'll see it on the Buddy website.
Buddy's NBN service has evolved since it launched. Initially, you weren't able to add a modem, but if you do need a new one, you can now select an eero 6+ to your order for either a AU$180 upfront payment for a single unit, or a payment plan of AU$15p/m for 12 months. Do note that customers who connect via fibre to the building (FTTB) connection aren’t eligible.
The telco has also introduced an Australia-based live chat support team – an upgrade from the AI-only chatbot available at launch – should you need any technical help with your service. If you need help outside the hours of 11am to 7pm AEST, the AI chatbot is on standby to help answer questions.
Buddy Telco was already an attractive option for anyone looking for a new NBN plan, but this new first-month-free offer makes it an outstanding proposition. All I have left to say is, happy birthday, Buddy.
