We crunched the numbers and found that in many states the difference between the average annual bill that Australians are paying and the cheapest plan on the market at the time is in the hundreds per year1. In one state (NSW) we found a difference of $480 per year2.
That's why it's so important to compare your plan regularly, so that you're not missing out on these potential savings.
