Not a typo: Telstra is currently slicing 50% off its NBN plans for Black Friday

It’s officially Black November here in Australia, and in a surprising turn of events, Telstra’s running a half-price discount on its NBN plans.

From now until November 30, 2026, Telstra is slashing up to 50% off its NBN plans during the first four months of service. Yes, you read that right — Australia’s largest (and often most expensive) telco is offering discounts of up to AU$240 off its premium NBN plans.

Two of the most attractive Black Friday Telstra deals includes its NBN 100 and NBN 500 plans, both down to just AU$49p/m for the first four months. You’ll save a nice AU$200 on these family-focused plans before the price increases to AU$99p/m ongoing.

Deals on anything remotely related to Telstra — including its mobile plans — are exceedingly rare, especially ones that drop half the price. So if you ever wanted to see if Telstra is worth its high price tags, now’s the time to give it a go.

The only caveat with these enticing deals is that you’ll need to BYO modem for either plan. That said, you can opt in to plans that include Telstra’s Smart Modem 4 for an additional monthly fee, or pay AU$360 upfront for the modem.

That’s not the biggest dealbreaker, though — we typically suggest BYO modems, especially if you want to shop around for a better NBN deal when the introductory offer ends.

It’s also worth noting Telstra’s cancellation policy here, as the ongoing rates for both plans are above average for the tiers. As per Telstra’s T&Cs, you can cancel at any time, but you’ll need to pay any device fees in full if you included a modem with your plan.

If you’re eager to try Australia’s largest telco, Telstra’s Black Friday discounts are worth considering. Want to look at Telstra’s full range of Black Friday offers? You can check them out below.
