Pricing notes
- Both brands run state and postcode-based pricing rather than a single national rate.
- Promotional credits and bundle discounts change regularly, so current fact sheets matter more than old campaign pages.
- If you want internet or green add-ons, compare the total bundle value rather than one fuel in isolation.
