Lowest-margin NBN 500 plans: best value against the wholesale price
As of 2026-11-08, the thinnest estimated margin on an NBN 500 plan OpenStream tracks is Exetel's NBN 500 (Superfast) at about $11.88/mo (16.3%) estimated over NBN Co's published ex-GST SAU wholesale tariff for the 500 Mbps tier, on a retail price of $80.00/mo ongoing, including GST, read from Exetel's own page on 2026-11-08.
A thin margin means more of your money goes to the network than to the retailer's overhead. Margins are estimates from public prices, never from private contracts.

How to read this
Prices are the advertised ongoing monthly price including GST, captured from the provider's own site by the hourly index and from comparison sites at baseline; "last confirmed" is the most recent read in which the served price was seen on a source. Estimated margin is the ex-GST retail price minus NBN Co's published wholesale tariff for the tier, and is shown only where that public reference exists. Every figure cites its source on the linked dated page. Errors are possible - check the cited sources. Full method: methodology. Machine-readable: this answer as JSON, MCP, llms.txt.
