UPDATE: I have ammended the deal to reflect that, unlike last year's deal, the modem cost is not waived, but is instead baked into the plan as a monthly cost. If you already have a solid MU-MIMO AC/WiFi-5 modem router and will be looking to exit out within 12 months, this deal is probably not for you.
Similar to the previous offer last year, JB HiFi have been running this since November, though the Telstra TV component has been removed. There may or may not be a delivery fee charged for sending out the modem (at last check, that was not the case). I have confirmed that this offer is valid and active with two different Victorian stores.
Sign up in-store at JB HiFi with 100 points of ID and you get:
- a Telstra casual Unlimited Broadband plan @ $90/month (either ADSL, Cable 50/100 or NBN50 depending on what services your area)
- AC3150 4x4 MU-MIMO Telstra Smart Modem with 4G backup (billed at $9/month for 24 months and then credited back, meaning you have to pay any remainder off when you terminate your service)
- unlimited local, national and mobile calls (requires active phone line or NBN service)
- free standard installation
- one month credited back to you (apparently the 2nd or 3rd month)
If you don't have a JB HiFi local to you, you can get the same offer via Telstra's sales line, you just won't get that free month of credit. I'm not going to post that as another deal as it's technically a negotiated offer. For those running the numbers, the JB HiFi credit means the modem has been fully paid for after 15 months of service.
For the mods, I've linked the terms of the old deal (though they're technically not valid) as there's no listing of this online; I hope this is OK. I've set the end-date to the end of the year, as it seems this deal isn't voided by plan pricing changes from Telstra.
If you're in an NBN HFC area, you get the added bonus of 100/5 MBit cable while you wait for the network to go live in your area.
Enjoy!

4G can be fast, yes. But it’s ping, flexibility, reliability and security cannot be matched to fixed broadband.
