Entertainment buffs and freebie-enjoyers jump for joy – Origin and Paramount+ are teaming up once again to bring customers a major deal.
Origin has brought back its free year-long Paramount+ streaming offer for new internet customers, as well as a 12-month broadband plan discount. This deal will net you a huge 12 months of Paramount+ absolutely free, and is available across any Origin internet plan (including NBN and OptiComm).
In addition to a free year of entertainment, Origin is also throwing in a monthly $5 bill credit. This is on top of the monthly $10 discount available on internet plans when you bundle with energy, meaning you can save up to $287.88 in a year on your internet and streaming all in one.
The Origin and Paramount+ offer is able to redeem now, but will only be available through to April 14, 2023 – meaning you have a little over a month to get in on the deal.
You can sign up by following the links on the tables below, through Origin’s website, or over the phone. Eligible customers will receive an email within five days of signing up for their Origin NBN or OptiComm fibre plan, with an activation link for their annual Paramount+ subscription.
What can you watch on Paramount+?
Paramount+ features some old favourites and revivals, such as Twin Peaks, Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, as well as some juicy originals including Yellowjackets, The First Lady, 1923, and Halo. Soccer fans will also enjoy access to A-League, with all games streaming on Paramount+.
A subscription to Paramount+ costs $8.99 per month, so Origin’s offer will save you a total of $107.88 for the full 12 months.
If you decide to not take up the free subscription offer, but still want to give Paramount+ a go, new customers are able to get seven days free to dip their toes into the pool of content.
Origin NBN Plans
Origin offers six NBN speed tiers, NBN 25 through to ultra-fast NBN 1000. The retailer also gives customers a $10 per month discount on its internet plans if you bundle with energy (alongside the current $5 bill credit for new internet customers, which is available even without an accompanying energy plan).
NBN internet plans start from $74 per month on the Everyday NBN 25 plan, but this is reduced to $64 per month if you bundle with electricity and gas. Factor in that extra $5 discount, and you’ll pay $59 per month for your first 12 months (or $69 for 12 months if you’re solely an internet customer). The same goes for the Everyday Fibre 25 OptiComm plan, which also starts at $59 per month for one year including bill credit and an energy bundle, or $69 per month unbundled.

Is Paramount+ worth getting after my free 12 months is up?
Paramount+ has steadily worked its way into many Australians’ streaming rotations, due to its library of high-quality classics and original content and relatively affordable price of $8.99 per month. In addition to A-League and W-League soccer, there’s a host of films including The Godfather trilogy and Indiana Jones, as well as a range of shows including the latest offerings from the Star Trek franchise plus some classic TV shows such as Twin Peaks, Daria, and The Twilight Zone.
After some Disney classics? Sign up to Disney+! There are two plan options to choose from – a monthly subscription, or prepay for a year. Both plans include the same features, with unlimited downloads and the ability to stream on up to four screens at the same time. This table includes links to a referral partner.
