In May 2023 Netflix also implemented a password sharing crackdown which has stopped the freeloading everyone enjoyed. This leaves you with no option to get yourself a free look at Netflix directly.
However, Netflix does still sometimes have partnerships with different companies that may result in some sort of "free value". One of those is currently with an AGL electricity plan, which gives you free Netflix with ads. You can upgrade your Netflix to Standard or Premium with AGL, but the offer still only applies a discount of $6.99 per month.

Sign up to AGL's Residential Netflix Plan for $6.99 a month off your Netflix. T&Cs apply.

The cheapest Netflix plan starts at per $6.99 month but that has ads. Unless you already have the Basic plan, which is unavailable to new or rejoining subscribers, your cheapest way to watch Netflix without ads costs $16.99 a month.

As we all know Netflix is a streaming service. Right now it is a requirement to have a network to be able to access the page or use the app. It wouldn’t be possible to stream if you are not connected to the internet.
Watching movies or TV shows on Netflix uses about 1 GB of data per hour for each stream of standard definition video, and up to 3 GB per hour for each stream of HD video. Adjusting the data usage settings for your account is the easiest way to reduce the amount of bandwidth used while watching Netflix. There are four data usage settings to choose from. Each estimate below is per stream:
Low (0.3 GB per hour), Medium (SD: 0.7 GB per hour, High (Best video quality, up to 3 GB per hour for HD and 7 GB per hour for Ultra HD)
Auto (Adjusts automatically to deliver the highest possible quality, based on your current Internet connection speed)
To select a setting that works best for your Internet plan, navigate to the Your Account page and select Playback settings in the My Profile section. Please take note that it may take up to 8 hours for the changes to take effect. Restricting data usage may effect video quality while you are watching Netflix.
I currently use a t box to access presto thru my hd TVs. Can I use the t box to access Netflix thru my tv. Also how many tvs can you get Netflix on the standard plan and can I use a Netflix card instead of using my credit card on line. Thanks
Yes, you can access Netflix through Telstra TV. The Standard plan allows you to stream on two screens (the Basic, one, and the Premium, four) and you can use Netflix gift cards to top up your account. You can find Netflix gift cards from a wide range of outlets.
You may check with Harvey Norman on how you will be able to get your free trial for Netflix. Alternatively, we got a comprehensive guide to setting up Netflix to all compatible devices. Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions to ensure that you got everything covered before you subscribe.
Netflix uses about 1GB per hour for Standard Definition and 3GB per hour for High Definition, so you would go through 12GB rather quickly. You may also learn more on our guide to the Netflix features, prices and content.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice.

If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
