I don’t use a lot of data, so having everything unlimited means all the NBN plans are very expensive for what I use. I’m on a Telstra 5G plan instead, and have found that after I run out of data and they reduce the speed it is still good enough for me to use, so I’m just on their $25 a month plan. I run out of data allowance for the higher speed a week or two into every month. Occassionally if it is very congested and slows more than usual I will switch to using my mobile as a hotspot - I have a $120 a year 120gb plan for that with Catch, and don’t generally use that much data. So my monthly spend for mobile & home internet is $35.
Obviously if you do a lot of gaming or high resolution video streaming (or just have lots of people in your household) this wouldn’t work, but for general browsing and watching videos on my tablet it is the cheapest option I’ve been able to find.
