If you’re chasing the lowest advertised intro price, Dodo is the name that keeps popping up across major deal roundups in mid-February 2026, with an NBN 25 promo around $40/month for the first six months.
But if you mean cheapest over time, or best value at a specific speed tier (NBN 50, 100, 250/500), the answer can flip quickly once intro discounts end—and that’s where comparisons get interesting.
The headline cheapest deals (February 2026)
Cheapest “first bill” style deal (usually NBN 25)
- Dodo: frequently listed at ~$40/month for 6 months on an NBN 25 plan in February deal guides.
- Also commonly mentioned in the “cheap” mix: Flip, Spintel, Tangerine, Superloop—often sitting in the low-$40s on intro pricing depending on the week.
Cheapest at NBN 50 (the “normal household” tier)
- Dodo is repeatedly flagged as a strong NBN 50 price leader at ~$65.99/month (typically on a promo window).
Why “cheapest” can be a trap (and how to judge it like a reviewer)
1) The promo ends—and the real price shows up
Most of the sharpest deals are 6–12 month discounts, after which the monthly fee rises. Deal roundups explicitly warn to re-check pricing once the intro period finishes.
2) Typical Evening Speed matters more than the number on the box
Providers can all sell “NBN 50”, but what you actually feel at 8pm is about congestion and provisioning, which is why comparison sites and reviewers keep pointing readers to Typical Evening Speeds
